To THE EDITOR:

IL In 0iN-
j THE impression that I gather
from what ! hear over the
radio and from the newspapers
about our government at Wash
ington is this:
We have arrived in our ma
tional existence at the point
where the affairs of this nation.
and particularly foreign affairs,
are Just too much for our ig-
norant and incapable congress-
men and senators to pass upon.
They are okay to Squabble
over a dam project or certain
minor details. But shaping our
national policies is too impor-
tant a matter for Congress.
If these impressions have fact
and foundation, we have GER
tainly departed from the true
path which the founders of our
government so wisely gave 10 US.
They knew only too we'll what
kings and dictatorS really were
ana now easily a government
can change to that awful form
of government
We have become SO used 10
good old Uncle Sam always
coming out on top that we have
fallen into the dangerous care
IeSSneSs of overlooking even the
one little voice. but powerful,
which we as citizens are still
allowed: namely, the ballot box.
/, for one. had rather have
the whole representative body
of our government decide for
me the important questions and
policies than to have these
great powers in the hands of
one man or even a selected few.

IF Reich Wins Balkans

Yugoslavs to hold out longer.
than three TO six weeks from the
start was considered an optimist
by his colleagues.
The longest possible period of
resistance suggested even by a
YugoSlaWan source was four
months. But even six weeks of
German absorption in the Bal
kan fighting could delay the
chances of an invasion attack on
Britain until Fall. Shortest night
of the year is June p, and the
Germans must have the protec-
ton of darkness to make the
effort
Consequently the official STRAIT
egistS expect the next Hitler
blow will be directed against
Gibraltar instead of Britain. If
that front door to the Mediter-
ranean can be locked and the
Balkans seized. the British can
be isolated around the Suez in
this second year OF World
War II.
This, however. Will not bring
the German victory Hitler prom
ised his people for 1871.

capacity cannot be expanded with
out temporarily cutting down pro-
duction. This means that present
schedules will permit equipping of
very few factories not already prof.
ected, that the additional produc-
ton program must rely to large
degree on converted plants.
Admittedly, many of the converted
plants. without large numbers of
new tools, cannot be operated on
100 per cent efficiency basis. But
Donald NJ Nelson, executive direc-
Tor of the Supply Priorities and
ALLEGATIONS Board, is on record as
favoring such conversions during
the emergency although they may
involve expensive" operation.
Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. May and other
defense officials have pointed out
that at present only about Is per
cent of the industrial capacity of
the United States is engaged in
the defense effort, and that current
schedules call for stepping up this
percentage participation to only
about Is per cent by the end of

secret. In the case of requirements
for the Navy ard the Maritime
Commission, they have not yet been
worked out.
But Army and lease-lend officials
are further along with their plans,
and well-informed sources say that
stress will be on powerful weapons
of attack-medium and heavy tanks
and heavy bombers.
Supplants Defense" Label.
There is significance in the fact
that this new effort is called a
victory program one defense Of
fetal said. National defense is a
term that we will hear less and less
about in the future. We aren't con-
corning ourselves with how to de-
fend ourselves from Hitler any more.
We want to get set to deal him a
knockout blow"
Present four -engine bomber pro-
duction schedules, aiming for more
than 500 planes month by 1943,
will be about doubled, with a total
goal of upward of $4,000 of these
long distance attack weapons, &C
cording to reliable reports. But
officials said that unofficial esti-
mates that the total airplanes goal
would be 125,000, as compared with
current schedules calling for about
10000, were In error Indications
were that the total goal would be
we'll under the 125,000 figure, due to
the concentration on larger, more
powerful attack aircraft.
The medium tank program, now
bringing deliveries of about 200
month and expected to take sharp
upward curve in the next 60 days,
will be doubled Chrysler, General
Motors and Ford already are parti-
cipating in the program, which may

American industry will be shifted
to a full war-tip e economy basis by
early 1912 dnder the projected new
''victory program" it was indicated
last night
Production of durable consumer
goods - automobiles, refrigeratorS,
washing machines, vacuum cleaners,
metal furniture, etc, requiring scarce
metals and machines uSable for de-
fense-probably will be virtually
stopped.
Plants will be converted to de-
fenSe production wherever possible,
even though their new operation
would be inefficient and the amount
of war weapons they could turn out
would be relatively small.
Scarce materials like copper,
aluminium, steel, nickel and brass
will be rationed by the Government,
and only the lowest amount possible
for maintenance of essential indus
tries and services will be allocated
for non-defense purposes.
Factors of Victory" Program.
These predictions were made by
defense authorities, in the light of
the new program, calling for ex-
penditure of more than 100000, ,000,-
900 by late 1943 or early 1914, that
high administration officials are
known to be working out in an
effort to outStrip the Axis armament
output.
This new arms program is still
IN the planning stage and as yet has
not been submitted to the President,
but Budget Bureau spokesmen have
indicated that it will add perhaps
another 500OO.0OO00O to the pres
ent defense and lease-lend program
Of about 60000,0OO00.

day. including light tanks, by next
summer.
Stress on Heavier Types.
Future emphasis, however, is to
be on medium and heavy tanks,
weighing 26 to 80 tons and upward.
These carry sufficient armor and
cannon to break through enemy
lines, destroy enemy tanks and forti-
fled positions. Light tanks, 131k
tonnerS with 37-mm. guns their
biggest weapon, have been found by
the British to be valuable mainly for
mopping up and scouting operations.
A major share of the accelerated
armament program must be done
through existing plants converted to
defense rather than by new fac
tories, according to defense officials.
Stacy May, chief of the o. P. M.
Bureau of Research and Statistics,
and one of the pioneer exponents
of the all-out effort, declares that
the machine tool industry, on which
new defense plants would have to
rely for their machinery, is now
operating at maximum capacity. It's

1912. They insist that "if Hitler
is to beaten" the percentage must
be jumped to so which has been
attained in Britain and Germany.
Just how severe the impact of
such an all-out armament effort
would be on non-defense industry
no one can picture accurately. The
Supply Priorities and ALLEGATIONS
Board and the agencies whose poll
cies it directs %. P. M, Office of
Price Administration and the like
are now engaged in attempts to call
culate full schedules of both mill
tary and civilian requirements as
far in advance as possible"
Yet, already it is apparent that

the lighter weight automobiles
should be turned out by each COM
pany.
Other durable consumers goods
producers that will be affected dras-
tically by the curtailment and di-
version program include makers Of
washing machines. vacuum cleaners,
refrigerators, metal furniture, ra-
dios, typewriters and virtually all
machinery requiring scarce metals.
Much so-called "priorities unem-
ployment" already has been reported
in these industries. There will be
even more in the future in spite
of all diversion efforts.

(about 81 per cent under January,
1941. production) is now of "aca-
demic interest only" Shortages of
materials will keep output far below
maximum allowances. it was said.
No authoritative estimates have
been made as to how many new
automobiles would be absolutely
necessary to maintenance of the
civilian economy, but some defense
officials believe this number may
be something less than $1,000 cars
a year, or less than 2 per cent of
the production rate thus far this
year. Moreover, it has been pro-
posed that, in order to stretch scarce
materials as far as possible, only
