Opening Throttle Another Notch

The Presidents call for seven-day, 24- hour operation of essential machines should receive as instant and complete response as physical conditions allow. As he clearly said, this does not necessarily mean longer hours of work for any man. It means work for more men, and more work for machines. The struggles on three continents against the forces of aggression are sweeping to tremend- ous crescendo this summer. It is highly likely that there will be great deal of worse news before there Is any better news. We must be prepared for that. We must look at the whole titanic struggle the long way.
 It was known last May, when the Pres ident first called for tremendous arna- ment effort, that actual war machinery would not be forthcoming in quantities for more than year. That year is now almost complete, and large-scale produc- ton is just beginning. The United States is now producing airplanes on a scale comparable to their scale of production in Britain and Germany. Yet our mass production" of planes is not yet really begun. Late this summer and this fall we should be really turning out planes in swarms. The new and modcrn-design tanks are only just ready for real pro duction. Machine guns and other wea- pons are poised on the edge of great quantity production. Ships take longer to build, and anything approaching mass this yes year at t all. i1p But t W viii come.
 Tn other words, by fall all this material should begin coming off the production

Construction of the new reservoir in the Morris hills recalls the days when the present Morris reservoir was dug. Automo- piles were few and far between in those days, but adventurous motorists managed to make the grades and curves of the old dirt road leading up to the city's wa ter works in those days. It was quite sight to see the dam being thrown across the valley and to watch the many other activities that went into the project. At first nine-day wonder to natives for many miles around they gradually be- came accustomed to the work. Today broad, smooth road leads to the spot and everything is quite natural.

A neutral or friendly Fire is essential for the success of the patrol plan and even of conveys. For should Germany seize Ireland Nazi airplanes and submarines would have bases extending much farther west into the Atlantic; thus creating a suicide zone in the direct path of incoming supply vessels.
 Already Germany operating from France and Belgium, has closed Britain's Channel ports, forced the re-routing of oil Bri- tish shipping to the north of 1re- land. So if Hitler should estab. fish bases in Fire he could come closer than ever to accomplishing his goal of starving out the United Kingdom. That is why the British have frantically asked the State Department to appeal for Irish cooperation.
 GLIDER PLANES TO IRELAND
 U. s. intelligence reports from Germany tell or a new type or glider that NaN airmen are per- fecting, allegedly for use in land- ing troops in Ireland. It has ad- cantages over both parachutes or transport planes.
 Large transport planes carry ing troops require large land- ing fields, cannot land on rough ground, and 1t Is relatively easy
 for home defense forces to protect their main airports against such landings. Parachute troops come down slowly, pro- vide easy targets.
 But gliders can coast down into any Irish COW pasture at Q rate of about 20 miles an hour and are not easy targets. At present

The way workmen are tearing into the old Baldwin Street bridge would seem to indicate that the new span will be up almost before you know it. There is activ- ity at the spot all day long and 1t shouldn't take too long to complete the job Once the bridge is completed there should be even more traffic than ever using Baldwin Street as an avenue of entrance and departure to the city.

MIR. BRAsHER's PRICE (Bridgeport Tifnes.Star)

The committee appointed by Gov. ernor Hurley to negotiate for the acquisition by the State of Con- necticut of Rex Brasher's famous collection of bird and wild life paintings has reported that the col- lection of STA paintings may be ac- quired for the sum of $74,200.
 At first glance, this seems high figure to economy -minded legisla- tors, and 1t has already mistakenly been recalled that few years ago Rents famous artist offered the collection to the state "for nothing" !" That was not the case, and his of- fer then would have required the state to build a special building for the collection. ct which the artist himself would have had . ecntinu-

the Nazis are perfectlng big glid- CTS holding twelve men each, which can be lowed by Q mother plane over an invaded country, then cut loose.
 ALOOF STATE DEPARTMENT
 Worry over Ireland Is SO acute in Washington that several steps have been taken to try to win the Fire government over to the Bri- tish side in advance of @ Nazi invasion. Consideration was giv- en some time ago to sending Jo- seph P. Kennedy, or some other outstanding Irish-American, to Dublin as an extraordinary ambas- sador. So far, however, nothing S1as come of this.
 More important has been . silent, but nevertheless definite State Department boycott for war materials. When Irish Min- ister Brennan called upon Under Secretary Welles recently to ask for anti-aircraft guns, trench mortars, anti-tank guns, he met with stony silence.
 On March 20, Minister Brennan had submitted Q list of arms Fire wanted for It's army. Welles did not says 20, but 1t was obvious that no such equipment will 90 to Fire until she cooperates with Britain.
 BRITISH WANT THREE BASES What Enslanud wants, specifi- cally, is three bases, one in the north, two In the south. But &C., cording to State Department soundings, the Irish are irrevoc- ably opposed to granting this, for four reasons:
 l. If the English ever get 6 foothold in Fire again, the Irish claim, they would never withdraw. The old fight (which we thought was ended when after TOO years we threw them out" would be renewed again.
 2. To give Britain bases would draw immediate and devastating fire from Germany, and Fire would be in the thick of the war with fighting on Irish soil.
 3. Britain does not need the bases, since she already has Q base in Northern Ireland just 20 miles from one of the bases she now desires.
 {. England is not sufficiently prepared to defend Fire, and would merely let the country in for Q repetition of the dehacle in Greece.
 Mixed up in this reasoning is c lot of Gaelic gall still bitter after TOO years of Trish-E English conflict. It Is SO bitter that the Irish have told U. s. officials quite frankly that If Britain forces her aid upon them they will fight Britain just as they would fight Germany.
 BRITISH SQUEEZE PLAY
 In fact, Irish feeling toward England has grown worse in re- cent months rather than improved, even to the point where the Irish suspect the British of trying to get them attacked by Germany so as to arouse h-Americail sym- pathy, thus get the United Statel into the war.
 The Irish also feel that they are being squeezed by the Erie tish in various wartime economic moves. Y or instance, the Irish at the start of the war wanted to buy ships for theIr own use, but desisted on the British promise that they would be al- lOtted cargo space in British vessels. Now, the Irish say. little or no cargo space Is forthcoming.
 At the outbreak of the war. also, the Irish had 300,000, 600 pounds in British banks and pro- posed to convert 1t Into dollars. But they left the money in Lon- don on the British promise that they would get ell the foreign exchange needed. Now, the Irish say, they get not 6 penny.
 The Trish also proposed at the beginning Of the war to trans.

Press Comment
MANS BEST FRIEND (Boston post)

Many years ago 6 member Of the United States Senate wrote c tribute to Q dog and his words will live for ever. Tn the news of e single day the importance of this most intelli- gent of beasts Is emphasized. Britain asks for dogs to be trained to serve as messengers and companions to those Oh lonely outpostS. Father Hubbard, famed Alaskan explorer, has developed equipment to be car- ried by dogs that has attracted the attention of army officers. A sol- dier's full pack can thus be trans ported.

port their own oil, but Britain interposed that she needed the tankers and would carry oil for Ireland But today the Irish say they have so little oil that doctors can't run their automo- piles.
 NO PRO- GERMANS
 There is not more than ono per cent actual pro-German sentiment in Ireland and the few outright German Sympathizers are in jail. But there is 100 per cent sentiment for complete in- dependence and complete neu- trality, with no help from Britain until the bombs actually begin to fall.
 The Roosevelt Administration, while sympathetic with Irish independencc, is more concerned with the all-important problem of keeping supplies moving to England. And what worries U. $. War and Navy officials Is the LhCt tnht yOu CSHHUt keep VuV m invader without very care. full preparations.
 For example, one reason the Jugoslavs caved in so quickly was because there was no advance con- sultation between the British and Jugoslav General staffs.
 This war has shown that 1t is impossible to build up de- fenres overnight, and If the Irish accept British help in diggint their bomb shelters only after bombs begin to fall, then the E'n- erald Isle right now can be given up as lost.

RUSSIAN EXPORTS

Selling machine tools and war goods to Russia was like telling the whole world 1t could fight with American weapons. The action yes- terday in cutting our exports to the Soviets was certainly intelligent and has been on It's way for Q long time.
 The fellow travellers of the New Deal have been doing very well for their Russian friends for 6 long time. And all the time the Russians have been telling each other that the United States is the No. 1 capi- talistic country which would event. ually have to be conquered.
