CHINESE INJURE TRADE OF JAPAN

WAR ECONOMY BUREAU URGED

Taft Offers Bill Providing For Mobilization of U. S. Resources.

WASHINGTON, April 23 (U. P.). —Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) advocated today that formulation of basic policies for mobilizing the na= tion’s economy to meet wartime problems be placed in the hands of a war resources administration.

Senator Taft introduced a bill to create a war resources administra= tion under which one appointive official, with the help of an advisory council and at the direction of Pres= ident Roosevelt, would have authority to formulate policies for mobilization of the nation’s resources for war. He said he delayed introduction of the measure to see what type of industrial mobilization the Office of Production Management would ac=complish. The Administration, however, is creating new agencies— such as that on price control—on top of the OPM setup, he said.
