HATES FOR THE DURATION
PEOPLE HINDERING THE WAR EFFORT.
P.A. Gable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.
"Four pet hates for the duration are organisers, profiteers, typewriter strategists and needle boys," Admiral Land, chairman of the Maritime Commission, told the Investment Bankers' Association. By organisers, he explained that he meant union organisers, and added : "As far as they are concerned for the duration, j my opiniom i.1 that they should be ! shot at sunrise." Of profiteers, Admiral Land declared : "We will get them if they don't get themselves. ' ; He advised typewriter strategists to let the President and military experts handle the war. Admiral Land did not elaborate on "needle boys." He said the United States was building three ships a day and would be producing four a day by January if the steel was available. "The United States will need 20,000 licensed seamen and 100,000 unlicensed seamen by next year, " he said. "The United States has 241 shipways and 3600 ships contracted to be built, of which 1098 have been delivered." Admiral Land warned that because of longer nights the submarine menace would be progressively worse during the winter. He said : "We can get on top of the submarine menace and we may ameliorate it, but we ean't lick it."
