Americas resources are vast, but
great though they be, this double
task will require unusual measures
and some interference with the ordi-
nary economic processes.
st can conceive that you could
give very powerful assistance to
Great Britain without interfering
seriously with your ordinary econo-

will be able to carry out both your

the aid We need without some sacrl-

U. S. Entry Into War Expected.
So far as it is possible to gauge the
general attitude here, most Germans
seem to be pessimistic about Amer
ica's future attitude toward the war.
They apparently think that if the
war lasts into next summer, the
chances are that the United States
will be playing an openly belligerent
role by that time. But they also
seem to believe-chiefly because they
know nothing about Mr.. WILKES

The fat invitation by the British
representative to the American peo-
pie to work around the clock and on
Sundays is at direct variance with
the labor policy published by the
Defense Commission September !
and reiterated in its details a num-
Der of times since then, stating that
all the national labor laws--the Fair
Standards Act, the National Labor
Relations law and the Walsh-Healey
Government contracts) law-should
be upheld.
Policy Has q Loophole.
The policy of September has
loophole, however, wherein it says:
"In emergencies or where the
needs of national defense cannot
otherwise be met, exceptions to this
standard should be met. When the
requirements of the defense program
make it necessary to work in excess
of these hours, or where work Is re-
quired on Saturdays, Sundays or
holidays, overtime should be paid In
accordance with the local recognized
practices"

membership on the British conten-
ton is the change is unnecessary
and that the English are drawing
wrong conclusions about American
industrial and labor capacity from
their experience with factories in
England and France. American in
dustrial technology, with 40-hour
labor, the Commission holds, is so
advanced that it can produce 3.5
automobiles where the French fac
tory of Renault produced but one,
and produce seven tires to the
French one.
The French capacity is cited be-
cause the fall of France has become
by now the No. l horrible example
of how disaster in these days follows
slowness in industrial preparation
for war.
Kennedy Speaks For British
Whatever the Defense Commission
prevailing opinion might be, how
ever, the British request is put to-
day as strongly as it was a month
ago, when the program for aiding
England was slowly getting under
way. The return 10 the United States
of Joseph P. Kennedy, Ambassador
to London, has given the British
an American voice speaking in the
inner councils in their favor.
The cruX of the argument is this:
The American defense program is
laid out to provide this country with
sufficient arms by 1912. The British
need is urgent, because the British
are in war now. Among the argu-
ments produced by Sir Walter Lay
ton in favor of lifting the hours re-
quirements are these:
THE sailors and airmen of Eng
land are giving American industry
the respite it needs to get under way.
For week after week British workers
have given up their Sunday rest and
by working around the clock the
output of war factories leapt up.
Worlds Greatest Air Armada Needed.
"The increased tempo of our war
preparation needs to be reinforced
by an equally vigorous effort on this
side of the Atlantic. To match the
great German war machine, an i'm
mense industrial effort must be
made-a task in which organizations
such as yours can take a leading
part. The greatest air armada the
world has ever seen must come into
existence as quickly as possible.
