definite factor in war planning
The phase farm power is
seldom used. The economists
employ more intriguing phrase
Economic Power.
In the days of small, profess
sional armies, economic or farm
power was not so important.
But now that whole nations go
on a modified basis farm power
becomes all important.
The key to farm power IS
this: It is the percentage of
population required to produce
food for the total population.
In either peace or war a nation
must feed itself first. Napoleon
summed this situation in his
terse remark that IAN army
marches on it's stomach
Here are some figures on eco
nomic power:
In the U. S. it requires only
20 per cent of the population
to feed 100 per cent OF the
whole nation. (And at this ~
per cent frequently produces
too much).
In Russia it takes 80 per cent
to feed 100 per cent. ,oo
In Italy SIS per cent feeds loo
per cent.
In Germany about IS per cent
feeds 100 per cent.
These figures have been COM
piled by a prominent Washlng--
ton economist who points OUT
that in considering the per cent
required to feed the whole, two
factors must be remembered:
the percentage must include the
number required to produce the
actual food and also the num-
Der required to produce the cost
of imports necessary to supple
ment domestic production.
In England the production
percentage has gone up: While
labor leaders probably hold
contrary view, economists argue
that restrictions imposed by un-
ion labor regulations are the
cause.
The production figures also
indicate that Russia can give
little aid to Germany.
Public conception of the two
ocean navy is different from
what naval experts want:
Naval plans do not contem-
plate two actual fleets; that Is,
one for the Pacific and a sep
parate one for the Atlantic. The
naval men want one fleet SUI
ficiently strong to meet any
combination of fighting craft
which might be brought against
them in either ocean.
One big reason for one 1leet
is that a divided fleet often
leads to disaster. Then too, the
Navy is afraid of local pride
and local fear. For example,
with war going on in Europe.
the Atlantic coast states might
raise an awful protest against
transfer of the Atlantic tleet
to the Pacific if trouble deVel-
oped there.
Take Czarist Russia. The Car
had a Far East fleet, a Baltic
fleet and a Black Sea fleet
But the Japs sank the Far Easl
fleet before the Baltic lee
arrived and then sank the Bal;
tic fleet when it showed up
The combined Far East anc
Baltic fleets most probably couIt
have whipped the JapS.

In a recent case before the
Supreme Court, the Chief Jus
tice asked the general counsel
of the National Labor Rela lions
Board if there were any ex-
ampleS of actual domination by
employers of unions after on

Dor Board counsel said that
there were no such instances
in the court record but the La
Dor Board believed that the plan
held the seeds of company dom

eminent agency, the Labor

Secretary Wallace is so OPP
posed to American involvement
in the European hoStilitieS that
he will not permit the war sit

lowed by all in official life.
More than one person is re-

mittee alone remained on the
front page since the start of

A check by Dies committee at

best bet here is that he will
get more money because WORD

shows that Americanism is the
