atmospheric nitrogen plants In this
country able to meet the demand? If
any of our great power plants should
be disabled, what can be done to trans

many other problems of a similar
nature are being worked out with the
aid Of our great civilian technical asso-
Citations.
Industrial and labor leaders Of the

Of Washington's precept, I'm time Of
peace, prepare for war;
I have outlined briefly for you the
military policy of the United States.
Our preparation, as have said, is not
a preparation for war; 1t Is prepared
ness against war. 1t Is the sanest and
surest method for the maintenance Of
peace.
At the very foundation of this ma
tional defense policy is the assumption
that all our citizens agree that 1t Is
unjust and dishonest to expect one
man to die for the Republic while an
other Is prof1ting by war. In time OF
national emergency, 1t Is wrong to place

districts. The Army representatives In
each district, having o definite and con-
crete probable demand, confer with the
manufacturers Of that district and es.
timated schedules are prepared. In the
end the War Department determines
where and how and when its estimated
wartime needs can be supplied and
industry learns the extent and nature
of the contribution 1t will be expected
to make. Many items Of the Army'S
wartime necessities are Of commercial
design, and 1t Is only necessary to es-
innate the increased demand war will
bring. Many other essential items are
not commercial, but are peculiar to the
Governments wartime needs. The as
surance of an adequate and timely
supply Of these involves considerations
of conversion of plants to new pur-
poses, of present accumulation Of
necessary jigs, gauges and dies and Of
the preservation in commercial estab-
lishmentS Of the requisite technical
skill for the manufacture Of munitions.
When O citizen Is called to the colors
the War Department takes over the re-
sponsibility of feeding, clothing, hous-
ing, equipping. training and transport
ing him. 1t must provide for him as o
father provides for his child. It must
protect his health by preventive and
curative measures. When the individual
is expanded to a few millions the prob
lem becomes staggering.
When we consider that war brings

have to protect; but it must not assume
such proportions as will give others
occasion to consider it a menace to
their freedom and national existence.
Above all, 1t must be preparedness
against war, not for war.
Safeguards Own Rights.
The United States does not desire to
transgress the rights of others but
means to place itself in a position
where its own rights will not be trans
crossed. Expressed briefly, the idea of
maintaining the agencies OF national
defense is two-fold: To prevent war in
so far as possible by making available
to the Chief Executive force Suffl-
GENTLY strong to deter other nations
from any hasty, il-considerCd, unrea-
sonable inclination to adopt an agrees
sive, overbearing and unjust attitude
towards us; to diminish the costs of war
in men and money by making any wars
into which we may be forced in defense
of our national existence both short
and successful. There Is nothing agrees
sive in this policy; nothing which is out
of harmony with our long established
custom of exercising wise and Sympa-
thetic spirit in dealing with matters
which involve other nations. The dis
armament conference, the Kellogg
treaties, the Geneva conferences, and
the present discussions between Am
baSsador Dawes and Premier Mac
Donald are conclusive evidence of our
willingness to further the cause of
world peace to any extent short of i'm
periling our liberty.
Appreciative of the fact that war
fare is no longer the relatively simple
business of the past, but is the most
complex science of the age, small
group of specially trained officers is
quietly and conscientiously exploring
the vast new country of industrial pre-
parednesS. Imperceptibly, as these
officers have labored and have con-
tributed immeasurably to 1t, a new
literature has been added to the mill
tary nbrary-a literature in which
authorship has been shared by the loyal
patriotic civilian and the Army officer.
Planning for wartime procurement
comprehendS the consideration of three
questions: What will the military forces
require? How much of each specific
item will they need? Where will they
procure the several items?
Organization Must Be Sound.
In any endeavor of the size confront
ing the supply agencies of the War De-
partment the organization must be
sound and capable Of rapid expansion.
This Is evident when we recall that dur
ing the World War the Government
expenditures rose to forty-four million
a day. The economic principles under
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-21

lying the Army organization are the
same as those upon which our great
industrial organizations have been built.
The good business principles of division
of labor, specialization, Capitalization
of direction of policy and decentraliza-
ton of execution are followed. Although
the War Department Is charged with
the supervision of procurement, the
seven supply branches Of the Army have
been given definite supply duties. To
the Quartermaster Corps has been given
the duty of the procurement of all gen.
eral supplies common to two or more
branches of the Army, except those
supplies of special, technical nature.
In accordance with the best recognized
principle of industrial organization,
the procurement Of these technical ar
ticles has been left to specially trained
experts. The Ordnance Department has
been given the highly technical duties
Of design, manufacture and procure
heavy. guns, tractors, tanks, trailers,
bombs, small arms and ammunition.
To the Corps OF Engineers have been
left the duties of procuring surveying,
engineering and railroad equipment
The Signal Corps has been charged
with supplying all forms of communica-
ton material, from carrier pigeons and
SlgnaI nagS 10 the most intricate Cele-
phone and radio equipment. The Medi-
cal Corps is responsible for the supply
of drugs. laboratory. hospital, X-ray
and other medical, surgical and dental
equipments task requiring Specialize
ton acquired only through constant
association with the medical profession.
Due to the many technical and intri-
cate problems involved in the art Of
aviation, the national defense act Gre
ated new corps, the Air Corps. charged
with the design, test, development ard
procurement Of aircraft for the Army.
In the same manner a Chemical War
fare Service was created to look to the
ever-increasing Importance Of gases In

quired to combat these new weapons.

eficient industrial preparedness. All of
our citizens must share the RESPONSE
biltties and burdens of war. The
profiteer must be eliminated. The
economic burden Of war must be made
to fall with equal weight upon every
element that goes to make up our ma
tional life. This method Of national
protection will promote peace. Pre-
paredness Is not being forced upon the
citizens by the Government. On the
contrary, preparedness is the program
of the people.

with It an abnormal demand for COM
modities which range from foodstudS,
clothing and guns to automobiles and
railway ocomotiveS-that, for example,
a soldier wears out four pairs Of shoes
to one in civil life, that he is clothed
and blanketed in wool, whereas at home
he might have worn other materials
we realize the tremendous load that war
places on industry and the vital de-
pendence of military strategy on in
dustrial effort. And this demand takes
place when industry Is least able to
meet it-handicaped as 1t Is by with
drawal Of men for military service and
by the necessity of adapting its fac
tories to the production of articles with
which they are possibly unfamiliar.
And yet the additional load must be
carried with as little interference with
the needs Of the civilian population as
possible.
