Eiaht Months of Talking

unhappy expression of a fact when Rear Admiral Cowles said Thursday at Baltimore, If are to lick the Germans, everyone must talk ships ships ships from now until the end of the war We object the word talk. We have already had too much talking about shpbuiding and not enough doing. It is necessary that there should be some talking preliminary every great undertaking. But we have had eight months of steady talilirN about ship building and many other enterprises relating to the war and help thinking that that is long enough.
 We certainly cannot endorse the proposition to keep on talking ships anything else until the is over lest the Germans come here and find still talking. It is time to substitute for the eternal everlasting, tiresome senseless chatter of tongues the chatter of the shipyards the rattatt of the riveters and the clangor of iron upon iron,
