Washington, Nov. 17.—The adven of Henry Ford, motor car manufac. turer, into the government’s ship- building organization means the same principles that Ford has applied to the manufacture of his cars are to be |applied to shipbuilding—standardiza- tion. Ford says it is the only way to get output in ships commensurate with the resources of the United States. He says that it only became possible for him to build 1-2 to 1 million cars every year by getting everything down to one standard, sticking to it, and not fooling around with several sizes of cars. He says that is what the United States is going to have to do if it is going to get the ships it will need to beat Germany. “There is one sure way to let Ger- many beat us,” the motor car manu- facturer said today. “That is for Germany to stick to her efficient methods and for us to throw aside the American. standard of efficiency just because we have got in war. We've got to do things for the gov- ernment to win the war on the same basis of business efficiency that we do in private business. We've got to make our war efforts even more ef- ficient, if possible. “As I see it ,the problem of getting ships can be solved the same way as I solved the problem of getting out- put in motor cars and no other— that’s not by partial standardization, but standardization in every detail. “My idea is that we should agree upon one of the several ships that have, been adopted as standard ships —say the 8,000-ton ship. And in the future build only this ship Then we know that we need the same engine and the same everything for every ship that will be built.

Y., Nov. 14.—A definite} the period of the war is to be taken by the American Federation of Labor in its convention here.
