THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Nothing more gratified Americans
in the early days of the German sit
uation than the response made by our
large manufacturers. Their repre
sentatives reached Washington, al
most the first of all, after President
Wilson's address before congress.
They [mediately placed their plants
at the disposal of th" government, and
*iiis offer came not only from the
mukers of muniti.< », but from all
great establishments such as the
United States Steel Corporation, whose
enormoup iresoures coud be readily
transformed into a mighty arsenal.
Even the most cynical hardly sug
gested that an appetite for profit ex
plained this great enthusiasm.
The fact that all American manu
facturers are overwhelmed with pro
fitable orders and that placing their
resources at the disposal of Wash
ington means a great financial loss,
immediately disposes of any such idea.
That these concerns stand momentar
'ily ready to cancel contracts that
yield them anywhere from 100 to 1000
per cent and turn their plants over
to the federal government, which will
pay them only a moderate profit, cer
tainly indicates remarkable progress
since 1S98 when profit-taking was by
no means divorced from war.
The proceeding emphasizes another
point, which meany have ignored In
the last few years. Ia ease of war.
American private Industry is the ulti
mate force that must make us vic
torious. War today is not a matter
primarily of men, even of heroic arm
ies indeed, the European conflict
proves that individual heroism is al
most the commonest human trait.
English, German, French, Turks and
Bulgars all possess It abundantly and
certanly Americans on the field will
not fall behind them. But Germany
has so far gained the military ad
vantage because she has organized
the mechanical side of warfare most <
completely.
The allies made way slowly at
first, because they had not done this,
and they now make progress to the
extent that they assemble their In
dustrial resources. That will likewise
be the story here and the comfor
ing thing for Americans is that we
have unlimited wealth of this kind.
If modern warfare is a matter of In
telligently directed mechanics, the
nation that produces more steel than
all the rest combined and certainly
does not lack high grade Industrial
organizing talent Is not a foe that
can be despised. And the fact that
our manufacturers stand ready, with
out expectation of profit, to turn all
these resources over to the president, '
augurs well for our success. J
