WISER ABOUT WAR Secretary Tells of Plans to; Avoid 1917 Chaos Re- | vealed by Pershing. Gen. Pershing’s clear-cut comments on the United States’ lack of preparation at of the last war prompls War Hurlev to tell how well has learned the danoer of unpreparedaess and what Has been done to prevent the disastrous blunders that oceurred in 1917, BY REX COLLIER. Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley hopes America may never have an- other war, but if war should come de- spite the hopes of all lovers of peace, he is determined it shall find the Na- tion's resources of men and material ready for action With public atténtion once more focused on the problem of prepared- ness s @ result of Gen. Pershing's | references in his memoirs, now being published in The Star, to' the debacle improvidence presented during the orld War, Secretary Hurley in an in- | terview today told of his" plans for averting such & spectacle in the future. “Ready for another war?" the Secre- ary repeated in response to & ques. tion. “Well, nobody wants another war, but we would be remiss in our official responsibilities if we did not consider the possibility of almost any | sort of an emergency.” “If such a national emergency should | {come the Government would not be | { caught off guard. We have not failed |to profit by the lessons we learned |in 1917 and 1918. Our plans then for | mobilization of manpower and of in- | dustry were vague and incomplete. Ready Now for Test. “Tomorrow, a different and a brighter I picture would be presented. With the | declaration of war by Congress, there would spring into immediate 'action | elaborately and carefully conceived or- | ganizations for the marshaling not only of trained forces of soldiers, but of industrial resources of suppl Secretary Hurley leaned forward on his desk for emphasis. “You know,” he continued. “I have very definite ideas about the obliga- tions of industry in time of war. I am one of those who believe the army of industry should serve as unselfishly in | time of war as the army of soldiers who sacrifice_everything for their country on the firing line—profiteers and slack- ers are in the same category to me. “Operating under provisions of the national detense act, the War Depait- | ment has mapped out a comprehensive scheme_ for industrial mobilization in me of war. This program is being worked out under Assistant Secr-tary of War Payne, with the co-operation of varied industrial interests. Ten-Year Study Made. “For 10 years selected officers have becn studying the situations under which our national security might be jeopardized and have determined the kinds and amounts of supplies needed in such emergencies. “These requirements in supplies con- stitute _the Army's ‘shopping list' for war. On it are thousands of different items, ranging from a twopenny nail to @ 20-ton tank. Many of them are of a very special nature and are not pro- duced 1n this country in time of peace. There is no use taking such an order to the neighborhood siore or even to the greatest wholesalers in the country. “The problem is to ascertain where and when the needed t can be manufactured. For years we have been searching out and listing factories suitable for the production of guns, air- plaries and the many other items on our list. We. know just where these factorics are located and what they are capable of producing. In our plans we allot to each a certain proportion of the estimated load. In some cases we | alterations that would be involved In converting plants to desired uses. Labor Supply Considered. “But we must go bevond the mere assignment of war-time production tasks to selected manufacturers. Tol each of these we muist assure a constant | supply of raw materials, power and lal bor. “Investigations of the availability of | essential taw materials have been made | and plans are being developed to govern the use of those in which there may be a shortage. We are surveying the pow- er and transportation resources of the country and devising plans to insure the most efficient use of both. Labor leaders are assisting us in developing & program designed to assure the fuliest co-operation by labor as a whole. | draft | was impe THE - EVENING ortage of Equ Outset Appeared to Be Almost HopelesstoNew American Army Chief.

Bridges requested that in the | event we could not, see our way clear to men as individuals, then minor units, such as battalions and regiments, should be incorporated in Eritish di- visions. I was decidedly against our becoming a recruiting agency for eiiher the French or British, and at that time this was the attitude’ of the War Depart- ment also. While fully realizing the difficulties, it was definitely understood between the Secretary of War and me that we should proceed to organize our own units from top to hottom and build as possiblé. The evident rivalry between the Brit- ish and French for control and use of our forces, even before we had an army that those two governments were not working entirely in harmony. As to their armies, it had ‘been apparent for some- time that there was a lack of co- operation between them. Their efforts were often separate and distinct, that is, first one and then the other would at- tack. Generally speaking, such could not seriously affect the enemy, who would thus be at liberty to utilize his r serves against one or the other. I had often remarked that the Allics would never win the war until they secured unity of action under some form of co- ordinated control. My first mesting with Marshal Joffre was during his farewell call on the Sec- retary of War late in May. I entered just as he and his party were leaving. He spoke of the scrious situation in France and expressed the hope of seeing ‘American trcops on the Western front very soon. Here was & marshal of France who, as commands: 1-chief of the French army for nearly three years, had maide his name immortal, appealing for mili- tary assistance from a man recently designated to be commandcr-in-chief of an army not yet in existence. I have often wondered what must have been his thoughts under the cir- cumstances, but whatever he may have felt as to the new commander himself the totally unready situation that he found in America could not have been very encouraging. It is a pleasure to say that this great soldier became my loyal and_consistent personal friend* Although it was not generally known that I was to go abroad, there was a flood of applications to accompany me. One of them was a personal appeal for service in any capacity by my old friend Robert Bacon, who had been Ambassa- dor to Prance. He had already given valuable ald to the allied caude, and even have plans showing the detailed [because of his intimate knowledge of the French people and his tact and dis- cretion I was glad to have him. Another friend who was most Anx- fous to join my headquarters was Wil- lard Straight, Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War. Although his request could not be granted, he came to Prance within a few months and served efliciently in the Army and with the Peace Commission; being on duty with the latter at the time of his death.
