ton of the enamelware, glassware,
plastic, and other industries to in
crease their production to make up
for the loss of consumer goods created
by the exercise of priorities for de-
Tense such as aluminium before these
commodities shoot way up because of
a temporary shortage; 90 clamping
down on all hoarders of stocks to pre-
vent price boosting through creation
of an artificial shortage; (5) proven
ton of collision on the part of bidders
of materials for defense purposes.
Who Fooled Stettinus?
Declaring that someone let Direc-
tor Stettinius down badly" when they
convinced him some time ago that
talk of a shortage of aluminium, the
most important metal that enters into
the manufacture of warplanes, was
just propaganda by radicals to put the
Aluminium company Of America in
bad light, the National Aeronautic
alton in regard to airplane production
because of a shortage of aluminium
may develop in the next IS months.
Since Stettinius pooh, poohed the
shortage of aluminium, OPM officials
have been forced to tackle the prob
lem in a more realistic way and are
taking steps, somewhat belatedly to
overcome the most serious bottleneck
in the defense program created by the
anti-social business practices of the
most air-tight monopoly in this coun-
try 1t is a condition that cannot be
remedied over night. Latest action
to increase eventual production of
aluminium was the contract let for de-
livery of an additional 10000 kilowats
of Bonneville-Grand Coulee power to
the Reynolds Metal company to in
crease output of their projected alum
mum plant from 40,000,000 to 60,000,-
900 pounds annually. Further provis-
ions for increased output of aluminium
however, will have to be made If a
genuine program of airplane produc-
ton is to be carried out.
Geyer Asks Committee Discharge
Convinced that the house judiciary
committee, of which Rep. Hatton Sum-
ner, Texas, is chairman, will again
permit his anti-poll tax bill to slumber
in committee, Rep. Lee Geyer, Calf,
has requested the house to discharge
the committee from further considera-
ton of his bill, which he has reintro-
duced in the present session.
The petition to discharge the COM
mittee must be signed by 21S house
mt mbers if it is to be brought out on
his fellow congressman to "help bring |
democracy to all sections of the coun-
try while we try to save it for the |
world" Knowing the complexion of /
he house, however, we wouldn't ad |
wise anybody to wage a lead nickel
If signatures, despite the merits of |
lis case. The trouble with it is that
t has too much merritt
Geyer points out that the percent
age of citizens in 1910 who exercised
heir right of franchise in the eight |
,oll-tax states, all in the south, was
Ill per cent, as compared to 1859 /
Ter cent for the remainder of the ma
ion. No wonder we have so many
DRY democrats from the south.
Conclusive Evidence
Rep. Shafer, Mich, furnished the
proof" to the house last week that
he 1910 Agricultural Yearbook,
Farmers in a Changing World" was
written by Joseph Stains boys. He
uoted the following passages from
he book: I'VE have the machines and
Methods to create abundance for ev-
ryone. But we don't do it. Why?"
We have an emotional attachment to
ur minds, that they cripple us.
Popular confidence that virtue is in
vitably rewarded by economic sue
