N'KtW YORK, .Muy yu. American
industry should be maintained in
tho same degree of preparedness
for war as the army and navy,
according to Bernard M. Barucn.
The modern application of George
Washington's admonition "in tlmw
of peace prepare for war" Is ex
plained by Baruch In his book,
"American Industry in the War,"
which is in effect a report of tho
War Industries Board, of which he
was chairman. Baruch makes these
suggestions:
A peace-time skeletonized organi
zation along the same lines as the
War Industries Board should be es
tablished to provide congress with
accurate and complete information
regarding all industries, and to form
the nucleus of a new board in case
of another war.
The government should encourage
and assist in developing of the pro
duction of certain essential mater
ials, used both in war and peace,
which have been virtual monopolies
in other countries in the past.
Manufacturer should be prevailed
upon to maintain under government
supervision the skeleton organiza
tions in certain departments through
which rapid manufacture of munitions
and war materials could bo developed.
"There should bo established n
peace-time-skeleton organization fol
lowing the lines of the War Indus
tries Board," Baruch says,
"It should be headed by a chair
man who should have associ'iled
with him tho chiefs of tho central
ized purchasing bureaus of the
Army, of the Navy, and of any
other Government department
which might be called upon to make
large purchases in case of war. To
function under tho several principal
divisions there should bo selectee'
about 50 chiefs of commodity soc
tions. Each chief of a commodity
section would name a committee to
represent tho industry under his
stuffs, coaltar derivatives, and sev
eral other essential materials. These
materials had always been imported
Tho government should dovise
some system for protecting and
stimulating their internal produc
tion. "Under the supervision of tho
proper departments of tho govern-
J ment, certain war industries should
be encouraged to maintain skele
ton organizations through which
they could dovelope the rapid manu
facture of guns, munitions, air
planes, and other direct military
equipment. This might be done in
some cases through government
purchases of factories, in others
through the placing of sufficient
orders to permit the owners to keep
the plants in existence.
"These measures aro suggested as
direct methods of insuring against
some ot the henvy losses and un
fortunate delays which the country
experienced in the process of con
verting Its industries from a peace
to a war basis. They involve very
small current expenditures, but are
capable of being instruments for
saving many millions of dollars in
an emergency."

The state land desert board has
refused to approve a proposed sale
of the north canal unit of the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation project by tho
Central Oregon Irrigation company
to the Title & Trust company of
Portland. The proposed transfer
was protested by the settlers. The
board stated that after satisfactory
adjustment had been made with
settlers the board again will give
careful consideration to the pro
posed assignment on condition that
the plan is accompanied by a defi
nite program of reclamation and fi
nancing. It was proposed that only
the unsold lands in tho unit be
transferred.
President Harding has written
Governor Olcott that he will be un
able to accept an invitation of tho
latter to accompany a largo party
of governors on a cruise to Alaska
in July. The president, however,
hopes to visit the coast and make
the Alaska trip later in the year.
Out of a total of 401 accidents
that were reported to tho state
Industrial accident commission for
the week ending May 12, six were
fatal.
By July 1 there will bo work for
everybody in Oregon, in tho opinion
of C. H. Gram, state labor corneals
eloner, in a report to tho govern
ment. Tho number of unemployed
in the state now is estimated at
7000, of whom 4800 are in Portland.
Since April 1 thero has been a de
crease of 10 per cent In unemployment.
