HEEDED FOR WAR
USES SAYS BAKER
R. N. Stanfield Brings Back
Advice From Washington;
Business Should Not be In
terrupted Needlessly.
"Good road work should be carried
on during the war. particularly when
through roads leading; from the coast
to the interior are being built, as such
roads may be of great military value.
"Business should be conducted as
usual; the chief need everywhera is
for a speeding up of production and
manufacture so as to meet the needs
of the war situation." .
The foregoing represents advice
brought back from Washington by R.
N. Stanfield, Oregon's representative
at the meeting of the defense coun
cil a few weeks ago.
"The advice as to road work was
given by the secretary of war after a
query had been made by th governor
of Maine, says Mr. Stanfield. "Secre
tary Baker emphasized the value of
good roads for military purposes and
pointed out the advisability of such
work as a preparedness step. In the
event of war being brought home to
this country the mobilisation of sol
diers and, of the population could be
vastly facilitated through use of good
trunk roads. .
"Admonition against SBistaken no
tions of .economy was iPS bw ,,Mr.
Kedfield. secretary of commerce. He
explained that the raising of war
revenue calls for normal business ac
tivity and denounced any efforts to
cause a slump ,in legitimate business
and industry"
