Ma(_:Arthur After Churches Protest. War Department plans for instant | mobilization of an army -of 4,000,000 men were outlined today before the War Policy Commission by Gen. Doug- las MacArthur, Army chief of staff, almost immediately after receipt of a protest from the Federal Council of Churches that elaborate war piepara- | Gen. MacArthur, appearing at the commission’s resumption of hearings to find a method to take the profits out | of war, exp'ained in detail the War De- | partment plans for military and indus- | trial mobllization. Earlier, Assistant Secretary of War Payne had said the War and Navy De- partments, assisted by other agencies, were developing plans adequate for the moblilization of the Nation's economic and industrial resources. Churches Urge Delay. In a written statement filed with the commission the Administrative Com- mittee of the Council of Churches set forth its view “that any program of wartime conscription should be put into force only by act of Congress with reference o a specific emergency.” The | committee recorded the strong convic- tion that “whenever human life is sub- jected to conscription material re- sources should be conscripted with equal thoroughness and rigor.” Representative Ross Collins of Mis- sissippi, a member of the War Policy Commission, filed the statement from | the Administrative Committee of the church council. It was read into the records of the hearings. In his outline of plans of the War t'uth any future emergency that may arise, Gen. Mac- Arthur brought out that a proposed system of selected service has been worked out which recognizes no exsmp- tion. It contemplates deferments based on industrial and humaritarian reasons, but whenever the cause of deferment could bz eliminated in a particular case the men affected would be reclassified. Opposes Price Freezing. The chief of staff expressed opposi- | tion on behalf of the War Department to th: pians proposed to the commis- | sion by Bernard M. Baruch, former chairman of the War Industries Board, for freezing all prices at the outbreak of a conflict. G°n. MacArthur said the War De- | partment believed that, aside from legal | objections to such a proposal, injustice | and hardship would develop to such an extent es to incite popular dissastis- faction and create distrust toward gov- crnmental orders and programs. He added that past experience had shown that similar attempts had “fostered subterfuge and evasion and dried up the sources of supply.” Gen. MacArthur proposed a plan for prearranging all governmental pur- chases that could be foreseen, elimina- tion of competitive bidding among gov. ernmental buyers,. conservation and control of materials in which there might be a shortage, and use of a spe- vial war time contract that would “eliminate the temptation to pad costs that accompanied the use of the cost nw}us percentage, contracts of the World ar.” Would Register Wealthy. ‘The chief of staff proposed the regis- tration of all weakthy in war time, simi- Jar to the registration of manpower, t0 facilitate the imposition of taxes. Cen. MacArthur testified the War Department was opposed to the con- M sts. n.e. ! scription of labor, believing it would ! not be supported by public opinion and | would be so resented by workers they SPECIAL NOTICES.

COMDR. SMITH NAMED U..S. REPRESENTATIVE ON GRAF Authority on Ice Will Be Only American Taken on Polar Flight. Zeppelin and Submarine Nautilus Are Expected to Arrive at Same Time. By the Assoclated Press. Lieut. Comdr. Edward H. Smith of the Coast Guard yesterday was designated by Rear Admiral F. C. Billard, com- mandant, to be the only American rep- resentative aboard the Graf Zeppelin on its flight from Fricdrichshafen to the North Pole. Smith will go particularly to observe ice and its behavior in the Arctic re- gions. He is an outstanding ice authority and spent six years with. the United States ice patrol in the North Atlantic studyins the movements of icebergs. The t Guard announcement said the Graf Zeppelin would leave Fried- richshafen on July 10 and proceed to Spitzbergen to moor until the submarine | Nautilus nears the Pole with Sir Hubert Wilkins' expedition. The Zeppelin and | the submarine are expected to reach | the Pole at the same time, Smith sald the Graf Zeppelin if it had time would seck to Jocate and visit | Lenin Land, formerly known as Nor- | thern Land, discovered several years ago by Russian sclentlsts. He said he wished : particularly to study the movement of polar ice through | Baffin Bay in an effort to lsarn what | caused & wide variation in the number | of bergs coming into ship lanes from | year to year. Smith was born in 1889 at Vineyard Haven, Marthas Vineyard, Mass., and is a descendamt of a seafaring family, his !nhelr having been master of a whaling vessel. WILL GO TO GENEVA Miss Mary Anderson Named to At- tend Labor Conference. Miss Mary Anderson, director of the ‘Woman's Bureau, was preparing today to attend the International Labor Con- ference at Geneva, beginning May 28. Appointed _yesterday by Secretary Willlam N. Doak, Miss Anderson will act as American representative at the conference, which will consider pro- | posals to revise the Washington Night Work Convention of 1919, under which nations agreed to prohibit employment | of women between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. | This convention was ratified by 19 of | the 55 member nations, while national | authorities in 9 other countries rec-| ommended its approval. ple and Government of the United States should concentrate thought and effort on the development of the spirit and of the institutions essential to world justice, mutual confidence and good will, common security and world peace. “We believe the supreme need of Lhe\‘ world is to make the peace pact of Paris thoroughly effective. The United States and all nations should take every racticable stop to accomplish this and should united!y stress the functione of the World Court, arbitration treaties, and other institutions of peace in the achievement of security. “The United States will more surely establish its own security exalting the significance and suthority of the institutions of peace, which will also provide security for all the nations, and by working wholeheartedly for -drastic reduction of armaments by all nations, 4ncluding our own,-than by perfecting extensive and elaborate war plans for itself alone. We belleve such plans will create suspicion and fear among the nations of the world and diminish rather than increase the security of the United States. “We deplore the emphasis being placed by many on the menace of war and the need for expanding prepara- tions for war at a time when the United and is rom ag- of power and natural securit; not in the slightest danger gression.” Dragging Days a Restless Nights Lack of pep is frequently caused by clogged-up systems.
