Mr. CoITln declared that because of the lack of co-operation and organization tho effort of American manufacturers to yupply munitions to the Allies was a far deal thing. Ho stated that many of tho guns and munitions sent to tho Alllei are Imperfectly made. "t nm told on tho most reliable au thority," ho said, "that GOO American made cannon hnvo burst on the firing line In France, each killing every one of the crow of eight men, all duo to defective ammunition." Mr, Collin nsscrtcd that there was not ono plant In tho United States that can turn out a complete shell, nnd dcclnrcd that 10,000.000 rounds of ammunition for England nre being held up In ono plant becauso they aro not comptote. The Allies, ho said, had rejected thousands of rifles of American mnnufneturo because they aro Imperfectly made. In urging mobilization of the Industrial resources of the United States, Mr. Crfuln said, "It will require 6,000,000 In Industry for 1,000,000 men on tho firing line.
