u. s. TO FORCE
WAR MANUFACTURERS

William S. Knudsen's forecast
Of the percentage of U. s. in
dustry that will be forced into
defense production" by next
spring has caused head-shaking
on Capitol Hill. II was voiced
at executive hearings on the
new lease-lend bill, but it has
spread through corridors and
cloakrooms like a plague.
The discussion started when
member took exception to arbi-
trary restrictions on peacetime
production by OPM. and O.P.-
A.C.S. II was suggeted that in
stead OF reducing production Of
autos and refrigerators by any
specific percentage. o. P. NJ.
should decide how much steel or
copper or zinc will be needed for
weapons. Then ii was proposed
that the balance Of the metal
reserves be allocated TO the vari-
Gus industries. II they could
make more articles by economies
In manufacture. or by the use
of substitute materials. then
they should be permitted to fill
all the orders they could handle.
knudsen objected with charac-
teristic frankness. He explained
that civilian restrictions were
not designed primarily TO save
raw materials essential 10 war
weapons He said the basic pur-
pose was to force" plants maxi
ing peacetime goods into defense
production, whether they liked
il or not. Then he estimated
that by next spring So per cent
of L. s. industry Will be engage
ed m war work OF some sort.
The committee agreed to shade
that figure 10 SO per cent in the
published testimony. for fear OF
its effect on public sentiment
Previous forecasts had placed
the prospective total Of industry
devoted 10 defense output at not
more than IS per cent.

AS guests entered the gates,
each was handed catalogue
describing individual weapons
and setting forth their function
in combat. One enterprising
representative. who sits on the
appropriations committee that
has been quizzing lease-lend adj
ministrators, generals and adj
mirals, brought along data on
the prices of rifles. machine
guns, mortars, tanks. etc, par
ticipating in the sham battle.
He read the figures on each
weapon to his fellow members.
for the particular benefit of
those who have paid little atten-
ton to lease-lend operations.
The congressman were shock
ed. They were so disturbed at
seemingly excessive amounts for
simple-appearing guns that they
wrote them down in their cata-
logues. Army officers watched
the cheekup glumly and angrily.
When the honorable members
left the fort. they were request
ed to hand in all their data az
the exits. Some protested, but
complied because of the express
ed fear that secret information
contained in the catalogues
might fall into unfriendly hands.
So they lost their records Of the
prices, which had been written
on that military document"

WE SHOULD BE FRANK

Editor. The Times: The presi-
dent Of the u. S. Chamber OF
Commerce, speaking in Tacoma,
made the statement, that. in
spite Of all the different names
for it, there are just two sys-
TENS Of government: One the
totalitarian state. in which the
state or government is the mas

The other, the system that we
have had for 16o years. in which
the people are the master and
the state the servant.

by George Kennon, they will cool

traveller and one Of the most
studious writers Of his time,
Kennon gave the rest of the
world a first hand picture Of
Russia. He not only told the
story Of the march Of the Rus
sian political prisoners along
the dreary road to Siberia. but
he gave a picture Of the religious
life Of the Russians.

PULSE OF

FRANKLIN PARK
INSISTS ON DEVELOPMENT

Editor The Tacoma Times:
Irony is not appreciated. The
hackers OF the Franklin Park
project recognize the irony in
the remarks of the Metropoli-
tan park board when they say
Older parks are entitled to the
next capital outlay"
Franklin Park was approved
by the Park board in 1912 and
has been live issue ever since.
Why the discrimination? Why
the pickering? Idle promises
will not satisfy the people of
the West Side. They are sp-
preciative of the work accom-
polished by the WPA and want
more Of il.
II funds remain in the Frank
lin park unit OF the city wide
project, and we are told by the
WPA over $4,000 is available, let
US have il put to work and the
recreation area seeded this fall.
Or do we hear the old cry of the
superintendent BLACK top is not
available >"
Thus you understand the res-
son for the fuss about hauling
away the black soil from the
lake. We are told $500 remains
in the city wide WPA project
which could be used for the pur-
chase of materials for the park.
$500 should buy seed enough to
seed the recreation area and
$4,000 ought TO do the work.
Give us our funds before they
revert back TO the federal gov
eminent.

Among other things he com

From the standpoint Of Ameri-
cans who have represented the
world high point for freedom in
everything that pertains to hu-
man happiness. there is much
to deplore in the Soviet pro-
gram, but there is still a great
deal we do not know about il.
One thing we do know is that
Russia right now is providing a
mighty fine buffer for Adolph
Hitler TO work off some of his
energy and give Great Britain
and the United States a chance
to catch up on the defense pro-
gram.
Whether IL is Russia, Ger

the best guarantee Of freedom

amy, relationships and all forms

He finds that even in the
United States there have been
times when conditions existed
under which citizens and aliens
alike have been inexcusably ex-
plotted by combinations of crimi-
nal wealth and self-seeking poll
ticians working in the dark. The
remedy for these evils is pub
licity.
Though American Newspaper
week is now history, this trib-
ute by Henry Hit Crane in the
Christian Advocate is worth
passing on:
THE real bulwark of De-
mocracy Is not the ballot box
but the honest newspaper. Its
best defender Is not the sol
der; IL Is the reporter who
sees all, hears all. tells all.
One fearless, watchdog news
paper can prevent what not
all the prosecuting attorneys
and the courts can remedy;
just as one electric street
light Is more effective than
half a dozen policemen.
There are some obvious
annoyanees accom- panying
publicity. and sometimes in
justice is wrought. but all
these are far outweighed by
the benefits. For every good
man hurt a hundred
scoundrels are held in leash.
Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. But the
power that enables US to pay
the price is publicity"

He can talk shop with anybody, no matter how many trade words they toss at him, and he knows from Lesson No 3 in the Personality course when in keep still and listen. So you might call Hank a composite of all the people who ever put down a check to indicate in which course they were interested.
