Plants for Defense
Assured Priority
In Machine Tools
Committee Appointed
To Prevent BottIenecks
In Vitol Equipment

Machine tool priority for defense
industries was assured today with
the formation of a committee by
the National Defense Commission
to coordinate defense, commercial
and export demands.
The committee will attempt to
prevent "bottlenecks" in defense
operations by obtaining an uninter-
rupted flow of the vital machinery.
1t was expected that the committee
also would place British requests for
tools on a priority basis over do
mestic industries not engaged in de-
tense work.
The committee is made up of rep
resentatives from the Army. Navy,
machine tool industry and the de-
Tense commission. They will submit
recommendations to Donald NJ Nell
son, administrator of priorities. for
approval. Mason Britton, assistant
director of the machine tools and
heavy ordnance division of the COM
mission, was appointed administra-
tive officer of the committee
Nelson Addresses Bankers.
MI. Nelson, who also is director of
small business activities in the de-

Federal Reserve banks and their
branches yesterday that the future
of the commercial banking system
would be influenced largely by the
manner in which local banks helped
to provide total finance for total

The Sears, Roebuck vice presi-
dent spoke before a conference OF
the Federal Reserve officials and
procurement officers of the Army
and Navy. Their meeting was ar
ranged under the direction of Mr..
Nelson and Ernest G. Draper of the
board of governors of the Federal
Reserve system.
The fulhllment of the defense
program has raised a grave chal-
lenge which the commercial banks
of this Nation must face" Mr.. Mel
son declared. The future status of
the commercial banking system will
in large part be influenced by the
manner in which our local banks
rise to meet this challenge Of pro-

roughly one half of defense produc-
ton would 60 to Great Britain, Mr..
Nelson said heavy burden was be-
ing placed upon the army of sub
contractors" who were feeding the
assembly lines for guns, tanks and
planes"
Mr.. Nelson posed these questions:
How can We tap existing but UNI
used subcontracting facilities? How
can We create new groups of sub
contractors to take their place
around existing prime contractors?
How can we insure that existing sub
contractors and potential subcon-
tractors will have access to needed
capital and credit"
Then he voiced this admonition:
There must be no breakdown or
collapse of our assembly lines be-
cause somewhere along the trans
mission belt there was a subcon-
tractor who lacked capital or credit
with which to complete a defense
order"
In statement regarding the con-
ference, the Defense Commission
said that, at the request Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, an officer had
been designated in each Federal Re-
serve Bank and branch to handle

Jobs Conference Told
Defense Shows WAY
To End Unemployment
US. Economy TO Function
If Community Spends All
It Makes, Says Expert

On the basis of the 40-hour week,
q national income of SLOT 900, 900 900
would be required to eliminate I'M
employment in the United States,
while with a 48-hour week ma
tional income of $136,000, 900 900
would be needed
These estimates were made by
Government economists at con-
ference at the Mayfower Hotel last
night on the unemployment of labor
and capital, sponsored by Milton w.
Harrison of New York, publisher of
the Savings Bank Journal.
Approximately so persons, repre-
senting labor, the Government,
management and capital, were in
vited to the symposium. Govern
ment economists participating in
cluded National Defense Commits
sioner Leon Henderson, DR.. Isador
Lubin, chief of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics; Mordecai Ezekiel, eco
nomic adviser to the Secretary of
Agriculture; Richard v. Gilbert, De-
tense Commission consultant; As
sistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold, Robert Nathan, chief of the
Commerce Departments National
Income Division; Benjamin V. Cohen
and Lauchlin Currie, administrative
assistant to the President.
The conference was told by several
Government economists that the de-
tense program is teaching America
how to end unemployment for all
time. Provided the community
spends the entire income it creates,
our economy can be made to func-
ton effectively, Richard Gilbert de-
clared. Other Government econo-
mists emphasized the importance of
defense spending as a creator of
new employment.
The conference was warned of the
probability of demands for higher
wages next year, after defense
spending nears the peak. There was
some discussion also of the need for
preparing plans to prevent depres-
sion when Government spending for
defense tapers off.
Last nights conference was, the
seventh in series seeking to clarity
some of the problems involved in the
Unemployment of labor and capital.
BY the spring of 1912 Government
economists estimated that the de-
Tense program will bring about an
increase of about 100000 in en-
ployment.

Newspaper publishers have long
