ThE EMERGEkCY SHOULD
NOT BE USED


tjonol crisis. 1t is q national effort IN
which every man, woman, and CHILD IN
the country has an interest. Our COL
Iective future hangs on it's success.
We do not know in exactly whot
way the militory power we are Dulio!n9
is Going to be used. We know that, the
world Being what it is todoy, q notion
like our own must have such power to
be sofe.
The building Of military power on Q
national scale Of this kind is q not'ono'
effort. Il can be no less.
What does thot mean? 1t means
thot it is collective effort, an effort
of all the people together for common
end. Since it is that, it follows thot no
one, and no group Of people should use
it for their individual advantage.
Strono efforts have been mode to
prevent profteerng. Out Of this no.
tionoI effort, the American people do
not want to see new crop OF war mil
Iionoires. Neither do the American Peo-
pie wish to be held up by unreasonable
demands by labor groups which happen
to be in q position to enforce demands.
! Nobody wants to see owners and
snnonogers Of greet plants operate those
plants at loss, or see them stripped
Of proper reserves or equipment that
will enable them to meet Peocetine de-
.ronds after the emergency has passed.
That would be short-siehted.
Nobody wants to see labor coueht
without the ability to protect itself by
proper means Of keeping ofloot on q
life-preseNer Of better wages on the
tide Of price increases.
For either to toke deliberate odvon-
tooe Of the need for arms in order to
enforce demands out Of key with such
situation is without excuse
II is wrong for an employer to hold
off from producing vital defense goods
because he saw q chance to pressure the
government into allowing him an extro
per cent of profit since his product was
unique and badly needed So it is wrong
for union leader to put pressure on
vitol defense plant for demands not so
much concerned with maintaining the
workers standards as with some mot
ter Of union politics or administration
These are times when, for the good
Of all, production Of defense materials
must come first. All ore entitled to, and
should, protect themselves oeoinst un-
due ond disproportionote hordship and
sacrifice, but it is no time to use the
emergency for personal or group gains
that are equally out Of proportion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30
This business Of having to find
substitutes because Of the de-
Tense effort turns up in the
dorndest pieces. In addition to
Army. Navy and British de-
nnonds for increased food sup
plies, plus all the wrongIine
over increased pority, poy-
rents and the 49-cent penalty
on surplus wheat. preparedness
and priorities reach right down
to the form, and In woys that
you'd never think.
Toke the ordinary, everybody
eunnysoek, for instonce-bur-
lop il you want to give II the
proper name. Practically all
the burlop used In the United
Stotes is imported from India,
and 80 per cent Of the years
normal supply Of Us million
yards is used for begging form
products-pototoes, fetilizer,
cotton bales and so on. But
shipping space from lndio is
scarce. The supply is unequal
to the demand. and prices
would have been way UP by
now is OPACS-Office Of Price
Administration ond Civilian
Supply to you-hodn't slapped
down q noxinum to keep the
matter under control.
While that keeps the price
in line, it still doesn't supply
any more burlop and il the
country should ever have to do
q lot Of real defense building,
such as sondboeJine the Stot-
ue Of Liberty, Boulder Dam, or
any other national monument,
things would really get tough.
The only answer to the prob
lem is TO start making boes
out Of something else. Right
here is where oIIthot surplus
cotton comes in. Also, it's right
where the Department Of Aeri-
cultures big program Of find
ing new uses for form SURPRISES
comes in, and all its reseorch
is just starting to pay dividends
in q constructive way.
IN THE BAG FOR COTTON
Bags formerly made Of bur-
lap, because il was cheaper,
will have to be made out of
cotton even though the price
Of cotton is being permitted to
rise while the price Of burIop is
peeaed..
In connection with cotton
bale coverings, q curious side
light: Cotton bales have al
ways been wrapped in burIop
because the burIop wrapping
for q bale Of cotton is 7K
pounds heavier than q cotton
pottern wrapping woul d be,
and cotton is bought and
sold on q gross weie h t
basis. Cotton growers, think
ing they have been beotina the
buyers, have always figured
they we're selling thot 7H
pounds Of cheap burIop at COT
ton prices. For that simple REQ
son and no other it hos been
impossible to persuade the
trodtion-bound cotton grower
TO change his ways to the ex-
tent Of using q cotton wrapped
bale.
Naturally, the cotton buyers
have known that this w
pounds Of extro burIop weight
wos there and have rugged
their prices accordingly, but II
hos been impossible to sell that
