Mobilize Natural Wealth and German Resource Strategy
Washington May 4 William L Saunders argues before the National Conservation Congress that a mobilization of a nation's natural resources is imperative for peace and military strength. He compares Britain and Germany and notes coal iron and factories as sources of supremacy and urges coordinated mobilization. He cites German gains in coal and iron and strategic conquest of resource-rich areas to sustain war effort. The note adds a Chicago ruling on Swift Co shipping and Benedict's plea to release Archbishop Szeptycki from Russian internment.
