tbe American Legion official*. This*- legislation was aim
'-ui at the very heart ot the problem ami should leeehe tin
almost attention, from thost* in hijfh places. The law, a*j
urgetl by the J.ejjion, would place every industry or hiis
uiesg at the call of the government in times of war, to be
by the government while the owner vvould lm paid a
reasonable sum for the me of his e*(ui|>ment whatever it
might he, while the etnergeney lasted.
If a blanket draft law of this kind should be enact j
ed, many snuill businesses would not l*' inteiiercd with, i*
a War slmahl -udd. nly loom, but the business of the muni-
tions and arm* maker would Is’ the first to Is* taken ever.
It does not take a military or an economic expert to see
what the result would be if the gevemnietit *1' vtil'l in times
#f war, take over every business that profits most by;
war. There would of tourae I**' no great profit to tl.e <*;**1

figure for the duration'of the war. the very time thai lie
