BAN ON BUILDING
IS IMPORTANT STEP
IN WINNING THE WAR
STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
SENDS OUT BULLETIN SHOW.
ING WHY IT is NECESSARY FOR
ALL CONSTRUCTION TO CEASE.

A bulletin sent out by the State
Council of Defense further clears up
the stringent ruling which has plac-
ed ban on practically all building
thruout Illinois. Terming the move
as an important step in bringing the
war to an early end the bulletin
says:
Citizens of Illinois affected by the
stoppage of building and other con-
struction by the "non-war construc-
ton orders Of the War Industries
Board Should keep two particular
things in mind.
THAT the first business of Amer.
ica, as nation, is to win the war and
get back to normal conditions, and
therefore the public welfare demands
that no private plans can We permit
ted to interfere with national work.
THAT the non-war construction
orders were not issued in wantonness
but that they were forced by the ma
tion's urgent necessity to conserve
iron and steel, transportation facili-
ties, fuel and labor, all Of which ele
ments enter into each piece of con-
struction, no matter how small it is
Senator Calder Of New York intro
duced a resolution in the Senate re
Gently asking why and wherefore OF
the non-war construction orders.
In justification of the orders Chair
man Bernard M. Baruch of the Wal
Industries Board, said:
1T is clear that there is not enough
iron steel transportation faciitie!
fuel and labor to supply the direc
and indirect war needs of the coun
try. and the non-war needs also, ant
that the resources and facilities uset
in non.war and less-essential building
projects can be applied thereto onl.
by taking them from the war needs
The inevitable result of this woult
be failure to supply the war require
ments of the country as they ar
needed. 1t would mean that nor
, war and less.essential needs would q
produced at the sacrifice of war need
, with the consequent postponement G
the day when the war will end an
when American lives will be free
q from the hazards of battle"
Building is not stopped by thes
e orders, but only building that doe
!. not directly or indirectly contribut
h to the war program. Any person VIII
!. contemplates construction wor
}. which he thinks will aid in winnin
3 the war can apply to the State Cou
Gil for permit, and If he makes OF
his case he will get leave to procee
by recent ruling, the farmers
Illinois may build new corn crib
j barns or even dwellings without a
plying for a permit, providing the
tai cost for each building does not G
ceed $1,000, and that such new bull
ings are to be used strictly for far
purposes. This is made on {
theory that farming Is an essenti
