Steel PriOritieS

Proposed solution of this bot tie neck is mandatory steel prior ities, now possible under the new ly enacted Priorities Act. The auto industry would get only a proportional share of the metal left over after allocations had been made for all defense needs.
 Defense orders would not have to wait their turn. Instead, steel output would be apportioned ar bitrarily on the basis of defense requirements first; the rest divid- ed among consumer industries. Incidentally, this last allocation would be in the hands of Tender son, no lover of the auto makers.
 Under such controls it is pos sible that auto output would be slashed by as much as 75 per cent. There are some defense chiefs who contend that if a cut of this size had been made three months ago, there would be no steel shortage now.

Current Comments From Washington

Over in Syria. Noah's tomb has been bombed. In his era, hun dred men or so, attacked like number, with sling-shots or clubs. and that was war. If Noah were to return, he would lose no time in reaching the conclusion that the good old times were gone, so far as war is concerned. Modern defense plans call for more than piling up behind barricade, a heap of stones Of convenient throwing weight. The United States expects to be turning out five hundred bomb ing planes a month by l942, a date which is distressingly far off. considering the rapidity with which events are moving abroad.
 Ii is hard to tell how actively defense production will be going forward in 1922 Something other than manufacturing equipment is necessary. A strike of nine hun dred men is in progress at Indian Head, a military establishment 50 miles down the Potomac from Washington. Similar situations are known elsewhere. IL will do little good to take over and convert in dustrial plants, with a view to getting ready for invasion, if the American Federation, the CIO and the industrialists continue to carry on a three-cornered civil war.
 A strike presupposes a demand and a refusal to comply. Either or both may be unreasonable The blame may rest with eithe. side, and neither is to be con demned as a matter of course. Without going into the question as to who is responsible, a con- dition exists in which the con- testants are playing directly into the hands of the Nazi-minded. much as the fighting factions. may disclaim such intentions. The ability of Hitler to make trouble for the United States is not to be doubted. There are others, having none of his vic icusne:s, bu; afflicted with dis torted perspective, who also can make trouble.

THE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON - When the auto makers (with the exception of General Motors) thumbed their noses at Price Administrat or Leon Henderson and boosted prices, they famed up more trouble for themselves than they ever imagined. Possibly they started what Britain long ago in stituted-the curtailment of auto production.
 For War Department chiefs i'm mediately advised the White House that if the auto moguls were unwilling to cooperate with the Government in the control of prices, then it was time the Gov ernment stepped in to curtail pro duction, which should have been done long ago.
 Army and Navy heads long have been sour about the fact the OPM ordered only a 20 per cent reduction of auto output. They wanted a reduction of at least 50 percent.
 Recent admissions that ser ious steel shortage is in the off, ing have added point to this de- mand. Next to defense, the auto industry is the chief consumer of steel; also of alloys, which are of supreme importance in making tanks, planes and other arms.
 A confidential Army memoran dunn to the President reported nearly 200 specific instances in which companies could not prom ise to deliver urgent defense or ders in less than eight to fifteen months, because of heavy auto industry commitments.
 This memorandum fiatly assert ed that the only way to obtain the huge amounts of steel re- quired for pipeline, freight car and ship construction is to cut down the amount going into auto mobiles. Otherwise, it was declar ed impossible to meet the produc tion schedules set by the Presi- dent.
 NOTE: Ambassador Winant eX pressed astonishment to Roose- welt at the high level of produc- ton that auto industry is being allowed to maintain. He stated. that Britain long ago geared pri- Vate auto output to defense needs.

would permit vessels of the Unit ed States to enter War areas and dock at ports in war zones. One of the arguments which he ad- vances is, that an air attack is shipping hazard which did not exist when the Neutrality Act was sound teaching.
 In all probability, a return to the freedom of the seas doctrine would be the last straw on the back of the anti-intervention camel, and what would follow is not pleasant to contemplate On the other hand, although the world has changed since 1914 1913, it has not altered to such an extent that something worth fighting for then, necessarily is inconsequential bosh now.

Statistics generally make poor mental fodder, even for hungry reader, but now and then they take on interest. The bombing of the British Isles raises havoc in a territory about the size of New York and Pennsylvania. England furnishes 505 human targets to the square mile. New York would offer 281, and Pennsylvan- ia 220. As to area, trouble in Greece is practically equal to trouble in Alabama. If all that Hitler wants is room to expand, he might swap Germany for Tex as, and get the best of the trans action by region the size of Kentucky. On the whole, interna tional hostility in Europe may be said to be caused by lack of el- bow room. Residents of Iowa would be irked if the boundaries of that state were under the mil itary surveillance of Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wiscon s.n, Illinois and Missouri.

The phrase "fre1d2m of the seas" is not on the public tongue so much as it was in the years during which President Wilson occupied the White House. Sec Tetary Knox would put it into act i've currency again. He brands the Neutrality Act as terrible hunder, and claims President Roosevelt as an ally. MT. Knox

The request of the German For eign Office that American diplo- mats be withdrawn from Paris by June 10 and retired to Vichy, is based on the thin excuse that Paris no longer is part of Free France, if any part of that coun- try indeed may be called free. Theoretically, the same line of reason cannot be requisitioned in order to get German consuls and other diplomats out of the United States. Practically, they are a menace and direct wire between every defense project ard Berlin, but nothing can be done about it with out open and hostile break. The horse must b. stolen before the paddock can be snapped on the door.
