Charles Flez vlco president of the F.mcrgency rieet Corporation, announced that the current shortage has become most menacing Unless radical means to remedy the situation aro at once adopted, ship production, particularly in the Delaware yards, will be hard hit, he said "The fuel situation Is very bad," Mr. Plez said. "The Immense and unprece dented expansion of pre-war plants, cou pled with the tremendous creation of new war Industries and Bhlypards, has resulted In too great a drain upon elec tric power-furnishing facilities. In addition, the fuel situation has complicated already existing' evils. From Boston to Philadelphia war Industries have been retarded because of a lack of fuel To avert further drains upon the fuel supply, the national fuel adminis tration and the railroad administration are discouraging the establishment of new plants during the war. "I understand that the Philadelphia Electric Company has asked the Gov ernment for J20.000.000 to enlarge Its present facilities New power plants and conduit systems are needed. The conference In Washington will have be fore It this request for Its decision. I exnect Immediate action which will hrine adeauate relit f. The conference will also consider tho question of the es tabllshment of Government power plants and systems. If feasible, it U probable that the Government will finance private Individuals or corporations who can fur nish the goods."
