Major General Says Factories
Should Be Set for War Now

here, declared that war industries
must be rushed to prepare for war.
Speaking before the Advertising Mems
Post of the American Legion at the
Hotel Sherman a few days ago, the
Major General declared that plans
were made for immediate mobiliza-
ton of 100000 men for the next
war.
To make the war mobilization
more complete he urged that indus.
tries be drawn into the preparations
more effectively than now.
The main burden Of the Major
Generals talk was that now during
peace the factories should be prep
AIRED to turn out war munitions i'm
mediately as war might break out
any time. He went on to say:
Preparation and training of cur
manufacturers in the production
of munitions, carried out In time
of peace are absolutely necessary
If we are to have adequate ma
tional defense; and this training
must not be confined to a few Sc
lected manufacturers but must ap-
ply to all those who would be call
ed upon to furnish munitions in
the event of war"
In all parts of the country the
army and navy men are preparing
for war, while in Paris the leading
imperialists are forging the anti
Soviet war front as well as an at
tack on the German masses.
Against these war preparations the
workers should raise the demand: all
war funds for the unemployed! All
out on August I, to fight against
the imperialist war Preparations.
