summed up by American mill

maxim describing Americas

tary need TO achieve invincibility:
More and bigger tanks, with

tanks and other armored equipment.
Information reaching official quarters in this country through
the wall of military flung around the Allied defeat in

important lesson for sratess planning armament for the
leased outposts of Western Hemisphere defense
The story of the Naz blitzkrieg Greece, far
1t is known to military observers with whom talked
today, is briefly this:
The Germans moved large quantities Of anassembled
heavy tanks big 20 and 80 tons each, up to
the Grecan border by rail through Bulgaria and assembled
them close to the theater of action.
To meet this threat Britain rushed from Egypt what
mechanical equipment available but this consisted of
light tanks which had been sufficient against inferior
Italian mechanical equipment i'm bya but which were no
match for the Nah creeping fortresses.
When the two forces met, the light British tanks

General Accepts
First Tank From
Chrys|er Line

How a conversation with OPM
director general William S Knud-
sen and KnudsenS reaction to II
paved the way for the new Chrys-
Ter tank plant was told in Detroit
today by Mai. Gen. Charles NJ.
Wesson, chief of ordnance of the
army
Here TO accept the plants first
28-ton tank, which he declared TO
be the best weapon of its type
now obtainable," General Yves.
son told the story thus;
Last June. following a chat
had with Mr.. William :. Knud-
sen, then In charge of the pro-
ductiOn division of the National
Defense Advisory Commission,
he put through a telephone call
TO X. T. Keller, president of the
Cbrysler Corporation.
OK. T., will you make tanks?'
ayes, Bill; where can 1 see
onec'
THERE WAS :. SWEAT
THAT was the beginning. but
there was no such ease and
simplicity In creating the plant
designed for mass production of
tanks.
III there were no blood and
tears In the effort that brought
this factory into being, at least
there was the sweat that Win
.stOn. Churchill foretold for an
other great democracy in its day
of battle. Those who planned
and those who worked in this
particular enterprise did not
spare themselves and what we
see around us is the monument
to their planning and toll"
AS for the new tank model
mass production of which is ex,
pected TO get under way later ir
the year, General Wesson said:
THE tanks, of which this Is
the first to be produced In this
great plant, will provide the
striking power for our new
armOred forces.
I'VE believe il IL the best
weapon Of its type now obtain
able and n Is nur grea fasf mich
that IL may never have TO he
used in battle; that the silent
menace of its guns and striking
power may be sufficient.
I'VE must not forget, how
ever. that 1t Is only a beginning.

but the main peak lies beyond"

 In addition, the delegates dis. patched Q letter to President Roosevelt in which they said that Q railroad strike would be nothing less than major calamity" as this time. They urged that the presi- dent try to persuade the railroad workers to accept the findings oi his fact finding board.
 Resolution Passed
 The anti-strike resolution read:
 "Whereas strikes in defense in- dustrleS have caused tremendous loss In the number ot man-hours; and
 whereas time thus lost can never be regAined and
 "Whereas strikes are detrimental to the national welfare by curtail- ing the manufacture and shipment of vital defense products and also are undermining morale;
 Therefore be lt resolved that the National Grange requests congress to immediately take such action As will prevent and prohibit all strikes which would retard the progress ot defense industries"
 In moving adoption of the resolu. ton, Ralph smith of Iowa, chair. man of the Grange committee on public welfare, said:
 Tt is time for us Co realize that every hour lost in the production of defense materials he!ghtens the posSlbility-in fact the probability --of American lives being lost on the hattletlelds. The time has passed when we can bubble over national security. We must not lose sight of, first, our opportunity, sec ond, our duty, and third, our serv- ice to agriculture"
 Letter To President
 The letter to President Roosevelt read:
 Dear Mir. President: The Na- tional Grange has given careful consideration to the issues involved in the threatened railroad s,rke The carriers have s'gnifed their willingness to accept the findings and recommendations of the fact finding board appointed by you and :nless all the machinery which has heen establ shed by law for the peaceful settlement of such disputes IS to be thrown mo the discard, we think the railroad workers should de Hkew.se, thus indicating the processes of Democracy.
 Tn our opinion, the board went as far as 1t could toward meeting the demands of the men without abjectly sacrificing the intere.Ss os the nation. A railroad strike at this time would be nothing less than a major calamity. We sin. cerely trust, therefore, that you will put forth your best efforts to per- suade tie men to acceps the ind. ings and recommendations of the facS-finding board.
