By ESTHER LOWELL.


Federated Press staff Correspondents
NEW YORK, Sept. o.-"All
set for the next war!" seems to
be the slogan of the Defense
Test Advisory Board, headed by
Judge Ebert n. Gary, chair
man Of the United States Steel
Corporation.
Already the big munitions
manufacturers and aircraft
profiteers have been summoned
to plan their division of the
spoils Of the next war SO that
the "fy-by-night manufacturers
who" according to Brig.-Gen
Guy Trip, head of the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacture
ing Company, upset markets
and were the real profteers dur
ing the late war;" will be out of
the game.
Monopoly Of Big Fellows.
The next war is to be a monopoly
of the big militarists, judging from
their outlined plans for industrial mo.
bilization on Sept. -. Incidentally.
Gary's last war profits were three and
half times his peace gains. Gen. ].
G. Hartford, president of General Elec-
tries Radio Corporation of America:
P. 3. Crowley, head of the New York
Central railroad; S. Parker Gilbert.
jr, the young lawyer who has been
chosen to succeed Owen D. Young as
reparations chief under the Dawes
plan for Europe; Samuel McRoberts.
president of the Metropolitan Trust
Co.; Charles NJ. Schwab, chairman of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation: and
William H. Woodin, president of the
American Car and Foundry Co these
are some of the public-spirited citi-
zens associated with the American
Fascist Gary in the "all set for war"
preparations Of Mobilization Day.
They were summoned by tele-
graphic orders from Washington to
act with Col James L. Walsh, chief
of the New York ordnance district
and acting chief of the eastern air
service district
Gary Is Very Serious.
Gary has taken his task of indus
trial mobilization with all seriousness.
his associates report, and is making
plans as tho war would actually be
declared Sept 10. Gen. Tripp re-
marked that: "The industrial defense
plans give to each manufacturer speci-
fic information as to what he will be
expected to do in an emergency"
Gary comments that with plans com
plete in every detail for the rapid
production of ordnance and airplanes.
If and when needed, we can begin to
talk Of disarmament and safety in the
same breath"
The steel lords knowledge of the
most convenient coal producers and
distributors and of other details nee
essary to quick mobilization Of in
dustrial forces for military production
is not only from his enriching expert
ences of the last war but from his
constant study of war possibilities.
He stated that in the event of invas-
ion it will require one out of every
four wage-earners in the metropolitan
area (of New York; to forsake his
regular employment and to turn his
hand to new and unfamiliar tasks in
the manufacture and inspection of
non-commercial implements Of ord
nance and aerial equipment"
Human Food for Cannon.
This indicates to what extent the
next war will wreck the ordinary
course Of life for workers without
saying to what lengths the actual
military forces will enter their lives
by compelling them to go into battle
and be human food for the iron mon.
sters that Gary and his gang will be
making.
