there should be at least the attempt
to let our people look in the face
OF the facts. There has been none.
The administration has Just an
nounced that the war department,
since July /, has awarded contracts
in excess of As billions and the
navy about AZ billions, total 81 bill
lions. And for all defense purposes
more than 10 Of the l6 billions voted
by congress to reinforce defenses
have been obligated"
This is confusing because the diff
ference between 81 billions for ar
mament and 10 billions for de
lenses" is 1.3 billions, for which the
exact use is not specified. Some cit
les are insisting the federal govern
ment rebuild their street systems
"for national defense" Several 9TH
er more nearly boondoggling spend.
ing projects are being called ma
tional defense" Finally, the figure
l6 billions voted by congress to re-
inforce defense is a foater that
checks with no fortnight appropria-
ton can find. This kind of report
ing is pretty much razzle-dazzle.
Furthermore, the report is almost
meaningless, because, as quoted in
the A. p. dispatch, prospective de-
livery dates for most items are a
closely guarded military secret?
They are unlikely to be any secret
TO our prospective enemies. The
trouble with our whole preparedness
program over the past few years
was the failure to let our own peo-
pie know the truth.
The last war schedules are no
true yardstick today, but here is
the way they ran as reported by
the secretary of the treasury. In
round figures, 1917, IL billions; 1918,
l2.3 billions; 1919, IT'S billions; 1920,
So billions; 1921, 3.8 billions-total
40 billions, notwithstanding that the.
war ended in November, 1918.
What these figures prove is that
reporting TIE placing of contracts
with no information as to delivery
dates, is no realistic indication Of
progress at all but, on the contrary,
is highly misleading. They also give
some idea of a rapid acceleration Of
the mounting cost Of industrial war
production and the difficulty of
checking it when the necessity has
passed.

England With M. Hertzog
HertzogsQuittine from rom. South ,i
tics could well be put down as a
count for England. The former pre-
mier, a stubborn hold-out against
war aid or closer alliance with Brit
ain, relinquishes his leadership and
resigns from the reunited National
ist party.
He had formed this party ear
ly in the war, to unite dissident
elements after his bitter politi-
cal enemy, the durable Gen. Jan
SHUTS, had wrested the premier
ship from him on the issue of
closer adherence to the British
empire and its war aims. The
issue was fairly close and he
His withdrawal appears to make
this particular outpost Of en-
pire much safer for the British.
He would have made a good
breathitt county feudist, with .
quick trigger-finger and long men,
DRY. He fought like one, in the
hills and the veldt in the Boer war
and of his ragged mustache and
hardscrabble white beard an inter-
viewer once said: His whiskers
bristled when I mentioned Eng,
land
Calling himself "loose asso-
ciationist," he has sought to
make the tie with Britain looser
and loosen. He has been no
apologist for Chancellor Hitler,
but most of his views and atti-
tudes have been those of . be-
lever in the authoritarian state.
He vigorously has opposed
votes, beer and property for the
blacks and has elaborated, with
great intellectual facility,
scheme for disciplined state,
in which the supremacy OF white
culture is the keystone.
He is a johannesburg lawyer and
politician, brilliantly educated, the
son of Dutch clergyman. A stern
old pietist, with the sharpest tongue
in the commonwealth, he scolds the
burghers for their unseenlly beha-
vior.
In the spring of 1929, the cur
rent high kicking and low think
ing stirred him to an atrabilious
outbreak in which he said all
this foolishness would be pun
ished in a few months by the
worst crash the world had ever
known. He advised all hands to
hide or bury anything they
might have. Similar predictions
have given him somewhat the
role of a prophet in South Al
RIGA. "Old jeremiah was right"
they are apt to say.
With the equally tough and belli-
cose old General SHUTS he has en-
gagged in much bare-handed pohti-
cal milling for many years, although
they once were allies. General Hert-
zog became premier in 1888 and
General SHUTS never ceased firing
until his victory last fall.

SEASONAL UPTURN

Wartime Conditions Influ-

Spring
By FRANK MACMILLEN

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-LR-War-
time conditions influenced business
preparations this week for spring
activity along the home industrial
fronts.
Some signs of at least a seasonal
upturn in the next few weeks were
evident in trade reports, including
the heaviest demand for copper since
the September war buying, a taper
ing in steel curtailment and a boost
in automobile output.
With nearly six months expert
ence in war markets, factory man
ayers were judged in better position
to plan ahead than they were in
the first excited phase of the strug-
gle.
Half Lost
Meanwhile, more than half of the
autumn upswing in major business
induces has been lost in the rather
sharp decline since new years.
Emerging from the initial effects
of the war, industrial leaders find
these trends:
1. A substantial rise in exports
of industrial goods to Europe and
Latin America in the first five
months of the war.
@. Development of lusty "war
baby" industries in aircraft manu-
featuring, machine tools and ship
building.
3. British plans for sale of Am
erican securities to obtain dollar x
change for war supplies.
4. Partial loss of foreign markets
for certain farm products, such as
apples and tobacco.
5. Reluctance Of manufacturers
to expand plants until capital mar
kets re-open on a larger scale fol
new financing and the endurance
of the war can be sized Up NOR
clearly.
Scrambled with the impending
presidential election in the United
States, the war trends have giver
Wall street analysts a lot to pom

say, has been to cause a mixture
