We have already proved to ourselves
that the men can be had almost In q
night. We modified them before
when we had no uniforms nor guns
and there can be no good sense in re-
peating that mistake. Our men are
needed more on the farms and in the
factories than they are in camps that
are short of clothing and guns, but
more fighters are needed in France,
millions more, hence our need Is for
ships and guns and equipment.
The war department seems to be
fighting this war one day at a time in
the hope that tomorrow it will be
ended and we will not be needed
Finally after year of delay when
Schwab took charge of shipbuilding the
steel mills have been ordered to make
nothing but ship steel. That should
have been the order year ago. After
a full year Of preparation and not a
flying machine OF American make in
France 1t is time the automobile fac
tories Of this country were ordered to
make nothing but aeroplanes. In fact
it Is time the war department had a
definite policy which would provide for
the shipment of soldiers to Franco
upon definite monthly schedules for at
least two years and the ship yards,
gun factories, aeroplane plants, coat
factories and truck factories should all
be speeded up to meet the schedule.
Let's put big business into this war
and win 1t. Petty politicians are
liabilities even in times of peace but
they spell calamity when nation goes
to war.
