u,ent contracted with the Air NJ
trates Corporation, which had been
formed for the purpose, to build a
plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama;
on the Tennessee River, for the man
ufacture of ammoniui m nitrate, an
explosive for bursting bombs and
shells. Oa this site In less than a
year was completed and put into
operation huge ammonium nitrate
plant, the largest in the world. at a
cost of over $6O,OO0.OO0.
Z Now, part Of the process of man.
ufacturing ammonium nitrate is
identical with part Of that used in
manufacturing a valuable fertilizer
ingredient. The suggestion has
been made, therefore, that the
plant be used during peace times
for the manufacture Of fertilizer
materials and kept in good running
condition, ready for its ori2inal use
at any time with a minimum Of al
terations.
But the question arises whether
the Government can afford to go
into the fertilizer business in COM
petition with private enterprise
and practically put out of busi-
ness the present makers of fer
tilizer and permanently discourage
any future development Of private
industry along that line.
The Muscle Shoals plant, huge as
it Is, can produce in case of war
only fraction of the high explo-
sives necessary to make this coun-
try safe through long conflict with
a nation that would control the sea.
Any proper policy Of military pre-
paredness, therefore, should aim
to- encourage rather than discour-
age all private enterprises whose
plants engage in the production Of

to case in which he and the Cover

BY eARRET SMITH.

~ HOULD man, caught in a
- heavy shower without an
II umbrella and forced to buy
one. as soon as he thinks
the shower is over, break up the
umbrella and drop it in the nearest
rubbish can? ,.s
In other words, should the United
States, haying learned during the
World War much needed lesson in
military preparedness, slump back
again into it's old defenseless state !?
10 say that Uncle Sam was
caught recently practically without
umbrellas in a heavy shower and
that he succeeded in buying on
short notice and at great cost a
pretty good assortment Of these pro-
tectors is old stuff.
Now there is a. pretty general
feeling that these umbrellas should
be preserved and kept ready for
usc. Certainly that is the purpose
OF the War Department. But that
purpose seems to be not entirely
clearin the minds Of some Of our
citizens. a
The particular umbrella in ques-
ton is the ammunition supply, spe-
cifically the domestic production Of
nitrates fer the manufacture Of
high explosives.
Now modern explosives are d.
vided into two classes, propel-
lants for hurting projectiles and
high explosives for bursting bombs
or shells. Both classes are nitro
gen compounds and require nitric
acid for their manufacture. So it
can oe seen readily enough that any
nation that is not equipped to pro-
duce an abundant supply Of nitric
acid within its own territory is mi
nus a pretty important military UNI
brella in case of sudden heavy
war shower. s.! s...a.t.,
The Government, therefore; when
we, became involved in the World
War. found 1t necessary to provide
for the manufacture of 4 quantity
Of nitrate within our own territory.

In fact, this policy IS the one that
has been followed by the other big
ppowers of the world. Germany IN
particular saw the folly of endeav-
oring to rely entirely upon govern
ment owned and operated plants for
her military supplies and for a long
time made it a point to encourage
in every way private industries.
which could be called upon in case
Of war to make munitions. 5
1t is pretty evident, at any rate,
that the proposal to operate the
Muscle Shoals plant as a Govern
ment fertilizer project Is not pppu-.
lar, although the chief argument
against it, as outlined! above, has
not been very generally understood.
The newspaper editors Of the coun-
try have voted overwhelmingly
against the Government entering
the fertilizer business and have
given it as their opinion that the
majority Of their readers are equal
ly opposed to the Government en-
tering into any kind Of, competition
with private capital. To ques-
tionnaire on the proposition of Gov
eminent ownership and operation
sent out recently 5,154 editors re-
piled. IOf these 4,466, or sc per
cent, gave it as their Judgment that
the people of their community were
overwhelmingly against the Gov
eminent competing in business with
its own citizens. In addition to the
question on the general proposition.
the editors were asked for their
personal opinion as ID the advisa.
bility of the Government taking
over the fertilizer business. Eighty.
six per cent of the: editors gave an
! unqualified mo" to this question.
