pick and choose their purchases.
Americas productive capacity
for war-making equipment was
virtually pre-empted by our al
lies. We could not take over or
divert to our own uses plants en-
gagged on war contracts for France
and England. France and Eng
land were in the trenches, in
actual contact with the enemy.
Their needs, of necessity, must be
met first.
It was necessary, therefore, be-
fore we could provide equipment
for ourselves, to secure the con-
struction of great new plants and
of big additions to existing
plants. Factories engaged in
peace-time manufacture had to be
converted and reorganized for
making instruments of war. In
dustries of the most technical ma
ture had to be brought from abb
solutely new beginning.
Today the wheels of this ma
chine are gathering momentum.
Plants that we're not dreamed Of
one year ago, and plants that were
engaged to turning out peace-time
trifles, are beginning to pour
forth a volume of war materials
that will increase progressively to
meet any increasing demand.
Rifle Output Jumps.
From few thousand per
month, our production of rifles
has this month touched 5000 a
day-or 208,O00 a month. Which
means that our rifle needs are
met, for each man in the army
now has been supplied his rifle,
and from now on we can supply
rifles faster than we can train
new men for transport to France.
In July, 1917, the entire pro-
ductive capacity of all the arse
nails and ordnance shops in the
country was less than 5000
pieces of artillery a year, of all
calibers. This capacity has to-
day been more than tripled. and
by July Of this year we expect to
be turning out artillery at the
rate of $4,000 guns a year.
Last July, including shops
making machine guns for the al
lies, the limit of our machine gun
production was less than $4,000
annually. This capacity already
