BAKER FAVORS
TRAINING BILL
Secretary Before House
Military Committee-To
Promote Aviation.

The United States could have
brought its full military strength
to bear in the war with Germany
much earlier. than 1t did IL a sys-
tenn of universal military training
had been in operation in this coun-
try before the war.
This statement was made by Sec
retary Of War Baker during his
testimony before the ouse Military
Affairs Committee yesterday on the
army reorganization bill.
The question OF universal train
ing was brought up by Chairman
Kahn. who asked the secretary IL
1t Is not a fact that the training of
the army could not have been ac-
complished more easily and quickly
II a system of universal training
had been in effect.
Mr.. Baker replied in the affirma.
tive and added that there would
have been less delay and confusion
in organizing the military forces for
the war. He added:
But the Inauguration Of such a
system will not remove all the dis
abilities and difficulties in connec-
tfon with the creation of a war or
ganization. You cannot make a war
organization on the peace-time basis
Of the army and with the approprIa,
tons made by Congress"
Strong nppositior was voiced by
the secretary to the provision in
the Senate army reorganization bill
which would create the Office Of un-
dersecretary OF war, define that Of
ficials duties and make him inde-
pendent OF the secretary.
Mr.. Baker made a strong plea
for a lump sum appropriation of
s1S,0o0.O0O for use by the army air
corps to encourage aviation de-
velopment and production.
Another provision in the senate
bill. which would provide for a
war council consisting of the Sec
retary of War. Assistant Secretary
of War and Chief of Staff. TO act
on questions Of supplies jointly.
also was opposed by Secretary
Baker. His objection was based
on the ground that frequently it
would be found impossible for the
three members to meet and disas-
trous delays in determining vital
matters might result.
director OF munitions likewise
is not needed in time Of peace, the
committee was told. Secretary
Baker pointed out that when war
shall come upon the people of the
United States, demanding the
bringing into play of all the re-
sources and facilities of the coun-
try. il will be necessary for the
War Department to comb the va
rious industries to get the most
expert men in various lines.

NO OIL SHORTAGE
 FOR MANY YEARS

An oil production sufficient to supply the world for several genera tions at least was forecast at the annual meeting of the American Pe- troleum Institute.
 Henry L. Doherty of New York; Thomas A. ODonnen of Los Angeles, president of the Institute, and R. D. Benson, president Of the Iidewa- ter Oil company, declared that the petroleum resourcesd of the worldl were nowhere near exhaustion.
 MT. ODonnell however, attacked the navy department Tor its seizure of oil stocks on the Pacific coast. Producers there, he said, feel that the navy department has not been fair," and added, i've believed them to be due to the extreme prejudice of the head of the department"
 MT. ODonnell and Mir. Doherty both declared that government regu- lation of the petroleum industry was likely to jeopardize the worlds fu- ture oil supply by discouraging de- velopment of new fields"

cent of the industrial life of this country, in the hands of a group of men who at any moment could use the economic strength of that great body of men against the business in- terests of this country.
 ''There is a movement on foot to- day to perpetuate the National Boards of Adjustment, which practi- cally eliminate the rights of the public in the railroad question, and the strongest form of coercion is be- ing exercised to force the issue.
 'The public, after all, pays the bill, and if it is determined to fa- vor national boards of adjustment, or national agreements, I warn you with all the sincerity Ipossess and that I can possibly give after years of handling these labor questions, that it means the closed shop, and it means the standardization of one of the great industries of this country, and that the public cannot afford to have it if it wants low rates, if it wants efficient operation.
 If the public bodies of this coun- try do not take this opportunity to make themselves heard and say to the railroads, and say it in no un- certain terms, we will not allow you to settle these questions among your selves, then they are missing a most tremendous opportunity, bcause it will only be question of time when the same attack will be made on ev- cry other industry of this country.
 Representative of the sixteen rail way labor unions on November 18th asked the United States railway la bor boards to find some plan through which differences between the roads and their employees other than wage disputes (working agreements to en- force closed shop demands), could be settled. The union heads declared that unless some satisfactory plan Twas forthcoming immediately, the men would take the settlement of such disputes in their own hands.
 The public is again threatenedl as it was during the war with a tie up of food, fuel and other supplies if a dictorial organization is not given its way.
 Well, now is as good time as any to let them try to tie up the Ameri- can railroad system and see what happens. Industry the country over is changing to the American plan or open shop basis, and the railroads need be no exception.
