40 TIME FOR ANALYSIS

Impact of President Roosevelt's
seven-billion-dollar proposal was
too sudden and too great to enable
industrialists and officials to
analyze its portent. Instead of
answering questions they were
asking:
"What does this mean TO us ?"
Every major Detroit company
has one or more Of its officers in
Washington asking:
"What are we going to be re-
quired TO do?"
Registration Of all unemployed
had already been planned before
the lease-lend bill was passed and
before the President submitted to
Congress his estimate of what aid
should be extended.
The number of persons needed
in Michigan during the next year
is 5000 more than are registered
as unemployed. and many Of those
on the compensation commissions
rolls are handicapped and unfit for
work in production industries.

Newsmen Fingerprinted

The appeal was brought closer
home to newsmen when it be-
came necessary to be finger
printed and photographed before
being admitted to the White
House and a few other Govern
ment Departments, and to be re-

Even members of the Defense
Commission are not exempt from
this ruling. and all save Mr..
Knudsen, the Director, comply
with the ruling. Employees have
been given Mr.. Knudsen's picture,
so there is little chance of the De-
Tense Director being thrown out.
The war has also brought many
peace time proposals to the fore
ones that were formerly rejected,
but are now being considered in
the light of how they may help
our defenses. Foremost among
these is the proposed st. Law

would open the st. Lawrence
River for navigation all the way
to the Great Lakes. The Depart
ment of Commerce released the
