Railway leaders met with officers of the War Department at the Interior Depart- ment auditorium-today to work out plans for national defense, by which war-time efforts of business transpor- tation and the Government may be co-ordinated into a working unit. The meeting was addressed by Sec- retary of War Weeks and Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, chlef of staff, who outlined the defeirfse plans tentatively mapped out by the War Department || and the part assigned to transpor- tation and business agencies. The meeting was addressed by Secretary of War Weeks, Assistant Secretary of War Davis, Maj. Gen. Hines, chief of staff, and Maj. Gen. W. H. Hart, quartermaster general. Calling attention to the *thousands of human Ilives” sacrificed “unneces- sarily” by our unpreparedness, Mr. Davis outlined a plan for industrial co-operation with the War Depart- ment, while Gen. Hart said this na- tion today has no more assurance against war in the future than it had in the past. Emphasizing the transportation to the national de- fense, Secretary Weeks explained that an armed, force depended for its eftectiveness upon movement, “an in- dispensable element of wa Importance of Rails. “If our armed forces should be com- pelled at some future date to defend the continental territory of the Unit- ed States, the rallways of the United States would assume prime impor- tance,” Mr. Weeks sald. “You know as well as I that it will not be possi- ble for the railroads and the Army to co-operate effectively immediately upon the occurrence of an unfortu- nate emergency unless they some time together preparing and developing plans for such pera tion. you to be here. vital need of | “You are here to lend the benefit of || your expert advice So that our de- fense plans shall be in conformity ith the actual capacities of our| transportation lines. learn what our defense plans might require you to do. You are here to! adjust your ideas of war-time en-| deavor and the War Department ideas, | unti] the two fit closely together in a | workable unit. “If our armed forces should be com- ||} pelled at some future date to defend | the continental territory of the United |§} the United | prime im- States, the rallways of States would assume portance. » Knowledge of Business. “In making ready to take advantage of the national system of transporta- || tion, the personnel of the Army well realize the fact that civilian experts of your caliber know much more about transportation than any one in the War Department could reasonably be || expected to know. On the other hand, | it 1s evidently impossible for you gentlemen to give the study to the || purely | | use of transportation for military purposes which can be most appropriately given by the officers of || the general staff.” Gen. Hines went more into detall regarding the services to national de- fense the Army expected the trans- portation lines to render In an emer- || gency, and pointed out something of how they could be expected to function. “Our fleld service regulations” Gen. Hines said, “now definitely as- sign the operation and maintenance of railroads in the theater of opera- tions under the control of the com- mander-in-chief to the rallway engi- neer troops. On the other hand, it is proposed that the actual operation || of the raflroads in the zome of the interfor shall be in charge of the railroads themselves under such a plan for unified control as shall be agreed upon by the railroads and the Government. How the raflroads in the zone of the interior should be || operated you gentlemen will have to determine in study of your side of the plan. “We intend that in time of emer- gency all requisitions on the rallroads in the zone of the interior shall emanate from a single unit of our organization, namely, the Transpor- tation Corps. The officials of that body will be vested with sole author- ity to call for equipment to mect the demands for the movement of men, animals and material. Competition among Army shippers will be elimi- nated.” Security Against War. Declaring that billions of dollars and thousands of human lives have been sacrificed “unnecessarily” by the un- preparedness of this Nation, Dwight F. Davis, Assistant Secretary of War, told the conference the War Depart- ment plans to so prepare the United States to resist aggression that the chances of war are “extremely remote because no other nation would dare attack us.” The United States has mo intention of aggression, Mr. Davis said, but will be prepared to resist aggression. Every man, every dollar and every re- Ssource of the country will be mobilized in an emergency for the defense of the country. ‘“We are only taking such precautions,” the assitant secretary said, “as a prudent nation should to protect ourselves and to promote peace among the natlons.” Mr. Davis added that “If we are ever again forced into war we are deter- mined there will be no slackers and no profiteers” outlining steps to be taken to thwart the aotivities of profiteers. The one great lesson of the World War, the Assistant War Secretary eaid, is that the industrial power of a nation is as necessary as its man power. He outlined a plan for dividing the country into 14 in- dustrial districts, with each district in charge of a business man, to co- ordnate industry with the demands of wartime. “This Nation has no more guarantee against war in the future than it had in the past,” Gen. Hart, quartermasten general, U. §. A., declared. Expansion of industry during war will follow & plan already worked out, Gen. Hart said, adding that “we are here to take the confusion out of war with all its waste.” Business should be prepared to ex- pand its facilities immediately with the declaring of a national emergency and be ready to increase its produc- tion to a point consistent with war- time demands, the quartermaster gen- eral added. —_— NOTED BIOLOGIST DIES.
