Danger In Lack Of Preparedness
Pease declared with emphasis that
l" if Germany had been attacking the
United States in July, 1917, it is
doubtful whether these guns and
gun carriages would have been of
any service in July, 1915, and much
less in July, 1919"

craft gun carriage. Pease said that
1868 different tools, jigs. fixtures
and gauges had to be designed and
manufactured for it.
These items are all special" he
declared, cannot be designed and
made in a minute. and If not in the
manufacturers hands in time OF
emergency would delay the produce
ton of intricate articles Of equip

cry"
The Statement
Mr.. Pease's statement to the COM
mittee was as follows:
1.-THE opportunity that you are
giving manufacturers to appear be-
fore your committee in reference to
| in time of peace for munitions and
equipment from the standpoint of
insuring the country's safety in time
of war is very much appreciated.
1.-The. preparedness program rs
conceived by the war department
was based on the experience gained
in the World war. The part of this
program with which we are con-
cerned, as manufacturers, will be
the supplying of the army and navy
with munitions and equipment as
/ fast as they are needed by the new
army under the preparedness mo-
| bilization program. The requires
ments, as / understand it, have been
worked out so that If the manufac-
/ turers come through with the pro-
duction of munitions and equipment
allocated to them, the army and
navy will be supplied with these
necessities from month to month as
the different units are trained and
ready to take the field.
1.-The war material and equipment
that will be required. with few ex-
ceptions, is not the standard product
of any of the manufacturers in this
country, and the problem which we.
as manufacturers, will have the re-
sponsibility of solving is the trans
portation OF our plants from the

COOLIDGE N FAVOR
OF COMMUNITY CHEST
Says Y Brings veAef From Excessive
Bequosts which Have to BE
Made to Charity

Warrington, Jan. ~ R-Relief
from excessive expenses sustained
by charitable organizations in seek
ing funds has been pointed out by
President Coolidge as one advantage
of the Community Chest method of
gathering contributions, in a letter to
officials of the local fund organiza-
ton.
Approving the Community Chest
plan as 1.-THE best which has been
devised" to provide for local bene-
volences, the president added:
by eliminating much of the cost
of collection it increases the amount
actually available for charitable
purposes and makes for wiser and
more equitable division of funds in
accordance with the needs and OPP
portunities of each. Tho very fact
that the American people stand
ready at all times to aid worthy
cause tends in itself to increase the
number of benevolences dependent
for their existence upon annual con-
tributions. SO that there is real
danger that the fine objects of each
may be obscured by the problem of
maintenance and the true spirit Of
bcnevolence chilled by an endless
succession of pressing demands"

lone factor which Influenced to
a very considerable extent the de-
livery of equipment In 1917 and
1918 which. hope will never be
necessary again. to such an extent
at least. was the incompleteness of
design. The 3-inch anti-aircraft gun
carriage. model 1917. had never
been built. hope and believe that
the ordnance department will never
be caught again In an emergency
without finished detail designs of
the most modern inventions of war.
thoroughly tested In service. I hope
the department will always have
funds available for investigation and
experimental work along these
lines.
400 Reyisi0ns in Design
Because the department was not
in this condition, the New Britain
Machine Co. received over 400 re-
visions in the design of component
parts of the model 1917 3-inch anti
aircraft ghn carriage during the
process of manufacture. These revi-
sions. in almost every instance, call
ed for changes in tools and fixtures.
and the delay In the completion of
the work caused by substituting new
parts for parts discarded and re-
machining parts where interferences
developed. is almost beyond esti-
mate.
I'm this statement, there is no re-
Election intended as to the ability or
the sincerity of purpose of the de-
signers of the gun carriage. A sit
uation of this kind would exist in a
private plant where production of
an intricate machine was attempted
from drawings before model ma
chimes were built and the bugs" as
we call them, worked out.
I'm the emergency of 1917, a mod
ern anti-aircraft gun carriage had
to be designed and production had
to be started and the officers in
charge of this job in the ordnance
department deserve great deal of
credit for their accomplishment.
1.-THE pilot mount, or models of
other equipment made In the arse
mails, would avoid delays from causes
/ as described above. Original deliver
les of is months would not be neces-
sary as designs would be established
but for manufacturers to do their
part in supplying munitions and
equipment under the present pre-
paredness program, it is not only de-
slrable but necessary, experience
that they would derive from educa-
tional orders and that they prepare
themselves for the emergency by
having on hand special tools and fix
lures. being necessary for inter-
changeahility and required for mod
ern methods of production, all of
which could be provided for if funds
are provided the ordnance depart
ment for educational orders"
