peal for a vote of confidence. The
immediate cause of the turnover
was the mistaken request Of the
President for a Democratic Con-
gress, even though both parties had
been contributing patriotic support.
The parallel today is that the ad-
ministration insists on keeping New
Dealers in charge of all key defense
positions and in refusing to make
the necessary adjustments which
will permit the industrial produc-
ton of the Nation to function
efficiently.
The situation calls for leader
in the American Government whose
liberalism makes him independent
of party ties and petty politics, a
man in whom industry has conf
dence and with whom the American
Federation of Labor-which has Or

ak to grind, in so far as defense is
concerned Unless Messrs. Stet-
tinius, Knudsen and their associates
are insulated against interference
by visionaries and self-seekers, their
usefulness is imperiled.
1t is equally essential that their
jurisdiction be more than advisory.
If confined to making suggestions
to the cabinet controlled Council of
National Defense, without any au-
thority to carry out its own rec
concentrations, danger is great that
the commission will be a dud. 1t
would be criminal waste Of the
capacity typified by its members to
condemn them to such a fate. In

Knudsen are not used to that sort
Of shackling. Their readiness to
serve the Government full time in
the present emergency is hopeful
sign that the advisory commission

decorative. Definite White House
assurance on that score would be
welcomed. Nothing is more vital.
