Would Eliminate Non-Essentials in Endeavor to Win War From Germany
By W. R. STUBBS.
Former Governor of Kansu
How to win the war is the one overshadowing question in Amen&htoday. It is a question of whether the sword shall govern the earth or that there shall be governments of free opportunities. M e must • have food, and the farmers must produce it. We must have transportation. must build more ships and more railway engines and cars. • Take the men engaged Mi industries not essential to the war and put them into necessary war industries. Hundreds of thousands of persons are building autos for pleasure riding. These men should be put to work
at the building of ships, engines and airplanes. We should make the skies over the German trenches black with our planes. We should not give the men of the German army time to sleep—keep them dodging bombs. This is no dream. We should have men, material and power.
