Mrs. Bird Presents Plan for Control of Munitions

y-pedal to Indiana Daily Times Plnd Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.—One of the four American women 'advisory delegates—Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird—made herseßf useful by presenting an important proposal for suppressing manufacture of all war munitions except under control of an international committee. at a meeting of the advisory committee on land armament, of which she is a member. The incident is all the more dramatic because the proposal was worked out by Edgar Park of New York, head of a great munition manufacturing concern during the war. Mr. Park formerly was president of the Marlin-Rockwell Corporation, which he organized in 1915. During the war the corporation manufactured machine guns, rifles and later went into the production of aerial bombs and torpedoes. He

had dealings with the departments at Washington and the ministry of munitions in London, thus acquiring considerable experience regarding the manufacture of munitions and instruments of war, present and future. But the most unique phase of this proposal is Mrs. Bird's presentation, how that came about, and why. HOW IT ALL HAPPENED. It seems that Mr. Park was determined to get his ideas before the conference and ?ame to Washington for that purpose, accompanied by Allen McCurdy. After inquiries he was directed to the advisory committee on general information, of which Col. William Boyce Thompson is chairman and of which two of the women advisory delegates—Mrs. Winter and Mrs. Bird —are members. It is the function of this committee to receive all suggestions and proposals

from the public and to study newspapers, resolutions passed and publications, relative to all subjects or phases of the armament conference. Not only do they receive them, but they direct them to the attention of the conference. Therefore Mr. Park's suggestions were welcomed. They were in the form of a letter addressed to General Pershing. But how much better to have a member of his committee present it to him, as the committee was to have its first meeting. Besides General Pershing, the committee consists of Charles S. Barrett, ex-Senator Sutherland, Representative Porter, Assistant Secretary of War Wnlnwright, John L. Lewis and Mrs. Bird. Who would be the best person to bring the proposal to the attention of General Pershing? MRS. BIRD ASKED TO PRESENT PLAN. Mrs. Bird as suggested, and Mrs. Bird accepted. _ In brief, the former munitions manufacturer proposes: That the cause of peace, reduced expenditure and maximum efficiency suggest the concentration of the manufacture, inventions, the development of all devices or agencies, explosives, aerial, mechanical, chemical or otherwise for

It seems that Mr. Park was very pleased indeed that a woman had been Instrumental in presenting lis proposition to the conference, as his survey of the situation convinced him the women of the country were better organized to obtain results, not only in naval armaments, but also in the elimination of other causes of war.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
