WAR SCHEDULES
INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATION IN U.S.A. QUICK RESULTS DESIRED. IN ORDER TO BE READY FOR EMERGENCY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON. December 1. Addressing a joint conference of 180 Army, Navy and Marine officials, the Assistant-Secretary for War, Mr Johnson, revealed that 10.000 industrial plants in the United States have received definite war schedules of production, in preparation for an emergency, says the United Press. Mr Johnson announced that the War Department was recommending special appropriations to congress in order to aid 250 factories capable of producing fifty-five of the most valuable military products, which he would not name. He emphasised the need for the quickest co-ordination of industrial, military and naval activities.
“I do not want a lapse of fourteen months between a declaration of war and the day our first division is capable of taking up a full offensive and being placed in the firing line —I do not want the experiences of 1917-18 repeated,” declared Mr Johnson.
