The steel industry still finds
orders Tor specifications" on
orders) continually increasing.
at over 100 per cent of Its rated
capacity, therefore, IL appears TO
be forced TO use its system OF
unofficial priorities to an in
creasing extent. Some steel pro-
ducers are refusing to accept
forward orders extending into
1912.
Automobile production, at l24.-
600 cars last week. was certainly
off more than seasonally. The
time l. probably near when the
industry will have TO turn more
largely TO making planes and
tanks, because you and 1 will be
asked" TO turn our spending
away from such non-essentials,
and TO put IL into government
bonds.

Gradual Move

Accordingly. our political
leaders are playing game of
drawing US in gradually, Thus
the leaders seek TO avoid about
priorities. price-fixing. labor
control, and taxation. until we
are more finally committed. The
passage of the lease-lend bill
has been followed by the ST.
600 100000 aid bill for Britain.
But we are on the way, and,
don't let any one tell you diff
ferently.
Probably the greatest need of
the hour is a realization by our
citizens that our government has
stuck its neck out so far" that
we must hasten to prepare our
military defenses as we have
never done before, if we would
be safe.
