tliat of any other two powers it j
would take 1'rom live to thirty year
to irodiu'c its own munitions f.r a j

Howard K. ('of tin. member ot' the ad
visory committee of the National De
fense council, today told the Congress
of i'onstnmtive l'atriotisrii.
"Contiress lias done already nearly
everything it is necessary for con
gress to do toward industrial prepar
edness," he said. "What remains to
be- done must be done by Mieer hard
work alone."
Mr. Cot'tin said the defense council
created by congress to make the pro
ductive capacity of the nation ready,
would shortly issue "the first text
book on munition making ever print
ed. ' He described also some of the
steps to he taken, including the plac
ing of 'minimum annual educational
orders" for war munitions of all
kinds with private plants listed to
furnish certain thints in war times,
iicyond that, ho siid, wns the enroll
ment of skilled labor to uard acainst
enlistment of these men and disrup
tion of the industries,
American uianuiaet unrs had
found by hitter experience, he said,
that it took from one to two years to
convert their plants lo produce for
eign war orders; it would take nearly
as lonir, he said, to aaiu convert to
turn out arms and ammunition.
And iihottt tin per cent of our to
tal manut'aeturini: capacity would he
turned to that work in time of war,"
he .said.
