Solving Basic Capital Labor Problem

ny THOMAS M. JOHNSON
NEA Service Military Writer

Washington, May 2S,--As the
Germans drive deeper into France
and the unexcelled preparedness Of
the attacking forces Is revealed,
those responsible for American de-
lenses are waiting with increasing
anxiety for further unfolding Of the
Presidents plans or expenditure Of
the $l,l82, 100000 to be voted by
Congress.
No specific program has yet been
advanced and steps are lacking TO
date In the most important direc-
tion-this being organization or In
duStrial production, To prepare, the
President has asked for something
over a billion dollars, but half that
money will be spent on labor and
will not take substance In the form
Of ships, airplanes and guns. Even
with proper organization, equipment
will not begin to be delivered for
nearly six months,
Army and navy men believe that
we need 10 work day and night In
shipyards, factories, foundries-
making more ships, planes, weapons
anu supplies, we CNllTlOJ permit any
totalitarian power 10 gain foothold
In the western hemisphere, The war
has demonstrated that air power
makes this too dangerous
PRODUCTION
Is THE CRUX
To defend ourselves today, we
have:
A 0ne-ocean navy for . two
ocean danger:
A pint-siyed army with gill;
SlEed equipment:
Air forces too small, partly dis
organized under equipped.
IN modern war, equipment Is half
the battle, But equipment orders
placed today mean delivery In one
10 two years-if we stick TO peace
time methods. We have Just fin-
ished ordering semi-automatic rifles
enough for the whole army, BY
peacetime methods we shall have
them all--in spring, i942.
