TOO CLOSE TO THE
BRITISH PATTERN

If Great Britain loses this war-which
is not at all a sure thing-it will have
been her own fault.
Officials in Washington know it, and
they know why
Yet this country is even now running
so close TO the British pattern that the
results might we'll be tragic. The only
saving feature is that we are not in the
same position the British were.
The disgraceful thing is that, with the
British example before us, we seem not to
have learned any lesson from it.
Consider the parallels;
British administrator leaders in London
appropriated huge sums to build up the
British army and navy, yet even as late
as the Allied disaster in Flanders the
British aircraft factories were still build
ing trainer planes to send to Canada, so
they would not have to pay few dollars
more to buy these trainers in the United
States
United States administration leaders in
Washington have caused to be appropri-
ated huge sums for national defense, yet
even today actual orders have been plac-
ed for only SO warplanes Eyes, thirty
three) out of the 1000 such planes that
ton is afraid to relax the control it has
established over industry, and conse-
ouently has not allowed industry to ex-
pand sufficiently to build the planes.
British administration leaders called
great numbers of men to arms from all
parts of the world-only to find it did
not have enough mechanized equipment
to send them into the field.
United States administration leaders
are now preparing to call thousands of
men to armS-men who will have to drill
with wooden guns because industry has
been so shackled in the last seven years
that it has no facilities to make guns, and
cannot provide facilities for them because
the government will not let it use its mon
ev for that purpose.
American industry is willing to serve
the cause of preparedness 1t is-even the
Germans admit-the most efficient in
dustry in the world. Why, then, has it not
been allowed to go ahead?
Because short-sightednes in the ad-
ministration has taken away from indus
try the money it could have used to build
new plants, and continues to take away
that money through what the politicians
naively call excess profits" taxes. They
call it excess profit" because they want
the average American to think of it as
money which greedy industry would
shove into the pocket of some robber bar
on, not to be used again in industry. The
fact is that what the administration de-
fines as "excess profit is most often the
money industry would, normally. use to
finance new factories, omen up new mar
kets and provide new Jobs
IF there should be such thing As in
vasion Of this country. and if we are
