MASS PRODUCTION FOR
DEFENSE

Americans are proud of our heri-
tage of mechanical ingenuity and of
our mass production methods by
which we have manufactured the
necessities and luxuries of life in
great quantities. In good years, we
have produced approximately 5,0O0,-
600 motor vehicles, which would
mean about ten minute, day and
night, weekdays and Sundays. And
we think nothing of it.
Now that national defense needs
are imperative, it is only natural to
assume that war necessities could
be produced with just as great SEEM
ing ease.
From that standpoint, a recent
discussion by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
Chairman of General Motors, sheds
interesting light on the problem of
mass production for defense. Mr..
Sloan expressed confidence that
American industry can produce
whatever it may be asked to produce.
Lest the impression that miracles
can be performed overnight gain
credence, Mr.. Sloan warns that such
an assumption will only lead to con-
fusion in the program and to un-
necessary disappointment. He points
out that even in the automobile in
dustry, with its long experience in
quantity production, the annual
model changes require a years in
tensive work. In connection with
production Of defense materials, he
indicates the many steps required
after the design is agreed upon, and
cautions against over-optimistic ex-
pectations.

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE

Mrs. Roosevelt stepped in front
of as angry a body of politicians as
ever got rough, at the Chicago
convention. In ten minutes they cool
ed down and finished the business
before them as the ancient poet OBJ
served, long ago:
20 woman! lovely woman! Nat
ure made thee to temper man: we
had been brutes without you"

Label Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor.

can Federation of Labor conven-
tions for the past twenty-seven
years and is one Of the most active
leaders in the labor movement.

on almost all products of the brew
ing and mailing industry.

Unemployment
And Poverty
Must Go

"More than equal in import
ance to military defense is the
necessity to increase our produc-
tion in the domestic interests of
the people, relieve unemploy-
ment, eliminate poverty and re-
store and sustain the spiritual
forces of democracy"
This was the crux of a resolu-
tion unanimously adopted by the
boards of directors of the Coop
erative League of the U. S. A.,
national educational federation
of consumer cooperative pur-
chasing associations, and Natioh-
al Cooperatives, Inc, national
business federation of coopera-
tives, at their quarterly meet
ings here.
Meeting at a time when the
lights of civilization are dim
med-if not being put out-in a
world ravaged by the cruelest
war of all ages" the cooperative
leaders declared that domestic
problems should not be shelved
for military defense and urged
specifically "liberal trade poll
cies with all the nations of the
world, relieving restrictions on
our distribution system which
have caused unemployment and
low incomes, aggressive develop
ment of the cooperative move
ment, and continued loyalty to
the maintenance of democracy"

Henry Wallace
Warns Against
Witch Hunts

"One of the best ways to fight
the fifth column is to get rid of

Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
told the nation in a speech
broadcast from here June A.
eve must lose no time in
making everyone in the u. S.
feel that his work is wanted,
that he too has a stake in de-
Tending and preserving our
American democracy" he de-
clared.
Wallace also warned against
hundred percenters who stir up
dissension in the name of pa
triotism.
"The fifth columnist himself
will use the cry of the fifth
column to set one citizen against
another" he asserted. He will
try to set Gentle against Jew,
Protestant against Catholic,
white against Negro, citizen
against alien refugee.
"You will never find the fifth
columnist acting as a harmonic
er or a healer of wounds. But
he may disguise himself as a
hundred percent American and
in the name of Americanism stir
up witch-hunts designed to cul-
tivate the maximum of animos-
ity between brother Americans"

Civil service must be queer stuff.
1t seems to set quietly on a job;
one must sever all allegiance to all
or most of the things which are
supposed to be part Of our Amer
lean freedom. While we never
tried on the mantle, we have been
previliged to get close to some that
were wearing them. We distribut-
ed literature-contribu to cam
paign funds, not only contributed
but solicited and received funds
and turned them in. We also help
ed buy an automobile-of course
we didn't have to. 1t was a dollar

of our pencil we wear out the funnier
civil service seems. We feel we
should stop lest we get to laughing
til we get the hiccoughs.
