NOW FOR ACTION Z

~ THRILL OIL genuine IHdHhlul-
4 \ ness and renewed confidence
ran through the nation this morn
ing with the announcement that
Charles NJ. Schwab has joined the
Emergency Fleet Corporation as di-
rector and will be placed in full
charge of the steel ship construction
program.
Schwab is both thinker and doer,
both dreamer and executive. He
has a reputation for getting things
done second only to his fame as a
creator and organizer. He should
have been at the head of the steel
ship program from the beginning.
Schwab knows the steel business
as few other men in the world
know it. He is a postmaster also
in the building of steel ships, as the
success of his great yards proves.
Many of the delays which have beset
the Government shipping program
will be ironed out by Schwab, who
is the biggest figure in the business
and who has a faculty of making
mills and men work we'll up to the
of efficiency.
The U-boat must be downed by
the shipyards of the United States,
and the best fighter we have in the
ship construction line is Schwab.
Why he was not chosen for the post
long ago is difficult to understand.
The allies were not SO slow as we
at home to recognize his genius. At
the very outstart of the war he
was commissioned by the French,
the English and the Russian gov
ernment to turn his big factories at
Bethlehem and elsewhere into mu-
milton plants for them, and the skill
and speed with which he accomplish
ed the task not only saved the Brit
ish and French in the opening days
of the war, but gave to the United
States government a gigantic often
sive weapon for the part we must
now take in the fighting.
Give us more Schwabs! Give us
for every line of war work the big
gest businessmen available. We are
picking our officers and soldiers for
field duty with greatest care; we
will have none but the best. Let Us
forget politics and political effects
and conscript the greatest minds in
the country for the task of main
tanning equal efficiency behind the
lines.

STUDY PROBLEMS
Mrs. Edwin G. Arnold, Of New York,
Makes Trip From Coast TO Coast
Under Auspices Of National
Security League.

New York, December 10-Mrs. Ed
win C. Arnold, of this city, has just re-
turned to New York after completing
coast-to-coast automobile tour in the
interest of Americanization work, I'M
der the auspices of the National Sc
curity League and the Bureau of I'm
migration of the United States Bureau
of Education.
Mrs. Arnold started from Washing
ton four months ago and finished her
tour at Pasadena, Cal, making
speeches and investigating conditions
on the way. Her principal stops were
in Wheeling, w. Va. Uniontown, Pa;
Pittsburgh, Columbus, o.. Detroit
Omaha, Lincoln, Neb.; Denver, Salt
Lake City, Ogden, Sacramento and
San Francisco.
Mrs. Arnold, who is a former Presi-
dent of the Daughters of Nebraska of
this city, has been actively interested
in Americanization work for some
time and undertook this trip to make
first hand study of the methods of
the various states in teaching English
to adult aliens and to stimulate in
terest in the subject. Her conclu-
sions are interesting.
There is a vast army of 100000
foreigners in this country, of whom
100000 are native born, who cannot
speak the English language" says she.
I'VE have been lax in this matter.
We have shifted these people into
the highways and byways, letting
them grow up in their own way with
out fostering better relations with
America.
This nation has been built BY the
| toll of one generation OF foreigners
qfter another. We must continue to
build to continue this advance. These
foreigners must be taught the mean
ing of America. This has been the
Promised Land to them and we must
make this idea real
"The Nations business men must
be made to realize their responsibility
in dealing with foreigners, particular
ly in the teaching of the English Ian
guage. Too often the middle man, q
person of their own language, the
boss, the foreman. has gone about the
work of exploiting the alien element
He has betrayed them. 1t was to his
advantage to keep them igonrant, to
extract a charge for their hire, to
herd them in chean sections in the
alleys of the big cities.
"This is as much their country a
it is that of the descendants of tie
Pilgrim Fathers. 1t is our duty 10
| help them realize this. The foreigner
must first be understood before he
| can be taught to know what loyalty
means.
previously, work along American
ization lines was classed as philan-
| thropy. Today. it is no longer cha
ity or social welfare work. 1t is a
straight business proposition.
Nest foreigners come to us pro
narcd to he good Americans but
through our own neglect and failure
= provide uroner schools and facili-
ties for their learning the English
language, they remain as foreign to
our thought, ideals, government and

in the bosom of their native lands.

this territory have been held to COM
bination on Jacksonville, irrespective
of routing and the st. Petersburg
pushers thought the present time,
when the government has assumed
control would be the best time to work
for the direct route.
Mr.. Whitney, in opening the meet
ing yesterday, explained it's purpose
and said the rate books of Florida
had allowed the railroads to benefit in
dollars and cents at the cost of the in
dustrial upbuilding of the state and it
was a question of breaking into the
combination to make them ''come
across" He went into brief history
of the railroad situation in the state
from the first railroad in 1866, from
Tallahassee to st. Marks, through
1872, when there were SIS scattered
miles built under the guarantee of an
internal Improvement fund which
bonded for the stockholders interest,
but still there was not enough mileage
and it was not until some suits went
into the federal court that things were
Strengthened out and 1928 miles of
track were laid.
Mr.. Whitney said he had read all
the railroad charters granted by the
state and related how the A. c. L. ten
years ago promised to build the con-
Meeting link, and have given the same
excuse year in and year out that they
did not have the money for the work,
yet they built 23s miles in other sec
tions during this time.
''The Seaboard has refused" he said,
ito build eleven miles because of sim
liar reasons, but still has built 1853
miles elsewhere"
At this juncture temporary chair
man was nominated and E. M. Backus
of Talpon Springs was chosen, but
could not serve because Of slight i'll
ness, and Mr.. Skinner took up the
work. Mr.. Whitney was chosen tenn

Harry L. Beeman, Hotel Represen.
tat1ye of Florida, under the United
States Food Administration, recently
returned from conference at Wash
1ngton, where the plans OF the Food
Administration as relates to hotels
and restaurants were discussed. Mr..
Beeman, who. lives at Orlando, Fla,
returned home imbued with the spir-
1t OF greater effort in assisting the
work of the Food Administration, and
will shortly put in operation some
plans for getting a more general
policy among the hotels of Florida.
Good work has been done already by
the hotels, and in many of the cities
of Florida, Organizations have been
perfected to advance the conserva.
ton of food in public eating places.
Mr.. Beeman being practical hotel
man, is well fitted to give instruc.
tons to others in the possibilities Of
utilizing wheat substitutes, and his
hotel, the San Juan, has the distinc-
ton of being the first in Florida to
begin the observance of wheatless
and meatles days. While the new
summer plans which Mr.. Beeman
has in view are not ready for publ
cation, he will shortly announce to all
the hotels just what he expects of
them. The work among the hotels
will be conducted by county rep
resentative working under Mr.. Bee
man, the whole system in Florida be-
ing to duplicate in the respective
counties the same kind of organiza-
ton as has charge Of the state in
general. County Food Administrators
have the authority to appoint hotel

ing confirmed by Mr.. Beeman. Thus
far most of the counties have been
organized, and the work of the ap-
pointees will soon become apparent

sion following the general meeting
the committee empowered Mr.. Whit
ney and G. S. Hoskins, traffic manager
of the local board of trade, to work
out the details of the resolution and
to arrange for the appointment of del
egates to go to Atlanta. Through a
motion carried earlier in the morning,
each board of trade or commercial
body may have one or more delegates
and it was Mr.. Whitney's duty to get
the men. AS soon as his list is COM

director. If their efforts are not fruit
full there, they will go to Washington

roads, w. G. McAdoo, and to the pres

A straight and logical line from At

for twenty-nine miles of road from

ten years and haven't finished yet, ac-
cording to speakers at the meeting
yesterday, who are determined to
have Jacksonville eliminated as a

conditions it costs more to get a car
from Jacksonville to Tampa than it
does to get it from Chicago to Jack
