BEACH SUGGESTS
1
COAST DEFENSES
By A. Jj. Bradford u
Washington, Nov. 26. (U. P.)
A defense of the naval bases and
ports with armaments able to with:
stand the most powerful navies of
the world "should be pushed to com-i
pletion with the greatest speed," Ma-j
Jor General Landing H. Beach, chief
of engineers, saad in his annual re
port today to Secretary of War Ba-j
Ver. .j
Proper provision has not yet been
made for - efficient seacoast . defense
of important strategic areas arid naval
bases because of a lack of 16-inch guns
and" howitzers, according to Beach, who
recommended that no additional arma
ment of less 'caliber and power be in-
. stalled at points whose defense "Is abso
lutely vital." "
, Beach also made recommendations for
a deep waterway between Chesapeake
bay and Delaware bay, thence to New
York harbor and Long Island sound, as
a "means of defense of immense valued
."Thla Ulterior "waterway would make
.If practfcally Impossible for the coim
bined hostile fleets of any two of the
leading powers of the world to blockade
our navy 'successfully, and, therefore
would have the effect of multiplying the
power of our fleet." said- Beach.
"It is an accepted fact that our shores
can never he invaded in force unless out
own navy is either -destroyed or ef
fectively blockaded' within our coast
line."

CLOSED SHOP PLAN
Chicago, Nov. 26. (U. P.) A
propaganda barrage, nation-wide in

launched here today with the open
ing of national headquarters of the
American Press Bureau.
The fight to throw all shops open to
nonunion labor and trade unionists fol
lows closely the announcement of the
American Federation of Labor that it
will fight to the limit any effort of
manufacturers to kill the closed shop
plan. '
Thomas J. Sullivan, director of public
ity of -the American Press bureau, said
his organization was formed for pro
moting better relations between the em
ployer and worker and that the new
scheme of things "will mean the elimina
tion of the closed shop.

labor," said Sullivan, "but are against
the . closed shop. Labor Is entitled tO(
fair treatment ; so is the boss. Strikes
and boycotts must cease. ; Employers
who have the closed shop have very
little to say about the conduct of their
own business. Labor must be educated
that the open shop is the- best way to
promote friendly relation between it
and the employer."
Sullivan said over 1200 Chambers of
Commerce over the country have gone
on record favoring the open shop. , .

going to be cheaper and why? There
are two factors to take into account:
SUPPLY and DEMAND, Production
is the thing which determines the sup
ply, and, remember this production
is only 30 of normal. What does that
mean? It means that the country's
reserve stocks are being drawn upon
that stocks are being reduced and
that when the public starts buying
again as in normal times, there will
not be any reserve stocks left. A great
