Laws Giving President War Power toMfrbilize Resources of Nation By BERNARD M. BARUCH. Address to War College. I STRONGLY recommend that legislation be put into effect that would give power to the President, in case of war, or threatened war, to mobilize immediately the resources of the nation. That would mean the mobilization of men, money, materials and food; the fixing of all prices and the regulation and distribution of production. In charge of this work an industrial strategist, or board, should be placed. The military authorities should put into effect a draft of the entire population, from which the required number of men should be drawn : and place the necessary orders for equipment and material. The industrial strategist would then Wy from what industries the men should be taken, giving you and the draft boards a list of the essential and less ( essential industries. , I The industrial strategy board would then immediately declare not 1 alone what industries were essential affd less essential, but what propor- | tion of its peace-time quota each industry should be permitted to produce, i Prices of materials, commodities and, in fact, all things would be declared fixed as of such and such a date, and it would be illegal either , to buy or sell at a different price. The machinery to make this effective could be immediately set up, as was done during the war through the state councils of defense. Money would be mobilized the same as men and materials, because a price would be fixed at which money could be and should be used, but the money would be allocated for the purpose of winning the war, the same as in the case of men and materials. This would prevent any rise in prices and would also prevent competitive'l>ftHing for labor. The excess proportion of the profit that was made in industry and internal revenue would go to the prosecution of the war. Thus, you would not only take the profit out of war and make profits impossible by taking practically all in taxes for war purposes, but you would place all the resources of the country 4 , at the command of the war-making agencies. _ i The Freedom of Occupational Choice Should Be Zealously Safeguarded r ! By E. E. WINDES, U. S. Bureau of Education. Freedom of occupational .choice is jin outstanding characteristic of our American civilization and a condition to be zealously safeguarded. Individual migration ,in response to occupational opportunity has largely determined the teaseless shifting of population in the United States. So long as we can keep the road to free occupational choice open, hope and stimulation to effort will not* be lacking, unrest and destructive revolution will not seriously menace, ettmofhic forces will balance vocational groups, and the need for governmental interference will not become acute. -■ . One who realizes that the occupational misfit is a danger to society; that an occupational misfit is relatively unproductive because the keen ‘ stimulation of working toward a self-chosen end is lacking; that an occupational misfit is a discontented man, ripe for propaganda inciting 1 to violent acts against the established order; that an occupational misfit | is an unhappy man, and organized society is not justified in contributing to such a lot, will insist that the school concern itself largely with education for occupation. It Is Ignorance of This Country That Bulwarks It and Preserves It ? I By SAMUEL G. BLYTHE, in MeNaught’s Monthly. Suppose the entire people knew the exact truth ahput the finances of | this country from high to low, meaning all finance, not governmental, but I all; suppose the people knew the truth about our office holders, our legislators, our labor leaders, our social leaders, our religious leaders, our financiers, our plutocrats, our exploiters, our despoilers, our professional poli- , ticians, our city governments, our graft, collusion, extortion, administra* tion of the law, subversions of justice, briberies, subornations, police compliances and complaisances, robberies, crooked compromises, looting of the | public purse, legislative malfeasance, governmental ineptitudes and worse; t suppose the public had even a scanty knowledge of the real workings of this enormous machine we call America—then what? ■ It is not the intelligence this country that buttresses it and main- j tains it Lt is the “ignorance of this country that bulwarks it and preserves it , Writers Confuse Smut With Sex, Dirty Stuff; No Reason for Writing It * By IRVIN S. COBB, in New York World. I know the crowd you mean. They are so busy discovering sex and garbage they have forgotten beauty exists tn the world. And they have become so fascinated with the words themselves they have forgotten that j words are supposed to convey something to the mind other than mere sound. Take the case of Chicago, for instance. Chicago woke up one morn- ; ing and discovered that there were a lot of writers there. Bang! The I “Chicago school” came into being. They didn’t seem to realize that writers are somewhat like skunks; get enough of ’em together and you have a bad smell. Not that I’m saying they can’t write. Some of them can; but they i are floundering around in a maze of words. Chicago seems to be suffering from nervous culture. Many of her writers are writing propaganda—and propaganda is never art. It can’t be. And then many writers confuse smut with sex. Dirty stuff; no reason for writing it Gifl Scout Will Make Best Type of Citizen in Future City and State By REAR ADMIRAL W. S. SIMS, U. S. Navy. A girl who has had girl scout training will make the best type, of l citizen in the future city and state. She has been brought up with the idea of being useful in an mtelUgewt way to her village, her town, her city, | her state, her country. Scouting emphasizes the domestic activities and interests of a girl’s Life. Many a girl has scorned her mother’s kitchen until, as a scout, she has learned tiiat it is not drudgery but “fun alive” to learn to cook a simple meal, and set the table correctly. But, the old-fashioned mothers will say,. “Good mothers have for centuries been trying to teach these homely accomplishments and instill these principles into their daughters.” This is true, and it is to help the mothers in their important and unending task that the scout movement has iitiliM important and characteristic principles of modern education. - ■ ■ ■■■■ . . , ~ : ~ " •' Dean John Henry Wigmore of Northwestern University Lew School —ls you cnwld imagine the Americas Legion, the American Federation of Labor, the American Farmers’ federation and the Rotary dubs, all merged into one nation-wide, semi-military organization, with our Charles , Dawes at the bead, you would have some idea of what Fascism means in Italy. * ■— l Homer Folks, National Conference of Social Workers.- Our first task , « to awaken people generally to the shocking conditions in the jails.
