NEW YORK President Roose-
welt spoke like a dutch uncle to
labor and capital in a demand for
wartime cooperation. But that is
only for industrial production
Not a word from out of the white
house to stop initiation Of COM
modities prices. Is this a time
for farm bloc coddling?
Leon Henderson, chief of the
oPA, fixed ceiling on prices of
edible fats and oils. That was an
nounced December IL. Five days
later the powerful farm bloc con-
sisting of sixteen or seventeen
senators rushed bill TO suspend
the price-fixing order.
All people are now co-operst-
ing to beat the Axis. The rush
for defense bonds and savings
stamps confirms this. Labor and
capital have agreed to produce
ornaments twenty-four hours
day seven days a week. Must
the farm bloc play politics at the
expense Of the people? Could not
such action at this time be called
war profiteering?
WARSHIPS: Washington high
circles say that every inch OF
American shipyard facilities will
be used next year for the produe-
ton OF war vessels. Plans TO lay
bottoms for huge battleships have
been laid aside. The demand is
for fast moving destruction-deal-
ing destroyers. The program
calls for an output of more than
$4,000 tons of wsrships during
1912. Enlist your dollars in de-
Tense bonds. Help beat the Axis F.!
NOT READY: Sir r. X.
Shanmukam Chiefly. head of the
Indian purchasing mission, says
India will raise an army of 1000
600 men IL the United states will
supply the vital needs. That's
okay with Washington because 1t
would give Adolph Schickelgru-
Der something TO worry about,
but ii is not with Great Britain.
Informed circles say London fears
a large domestic" Indian fight
ing force as a postwar factor. 1t
appears that England is not ready
to give India its independence.
WELL STOCKED: Armies and
navies move on Oil And Uncle
Sans military forces are backed
by the worlds greatest supply.
The worlds finest aviation gaso-
line is made in America. Texas
Co. alone, operates p refineries
capable of producing more than
three billion gallons of gasoline
and lubricants a year. Texas Co.
alone, produces more petroleum
than all of Europe, exclusive OF
Russia Add to this what other
corporate oil giants of America
produce. Americas fighting forces
will never have shortages in that

WASHINGTON :

WASHINGTON Sen. Styles
Bridges, r.. N. H., demanded In
the senate Tuesday that congress
take action on antistrike legisla-
ton because President Roosevelt's
industry-lsbor conference Is "quib-

dying"
Bridges said he was "disappoint-
ed. dishesrtened and disillusioned'
to see President Roosevelt's con-
ference fail to reach any under
standing.
II they can't agree, with n war
on. with the country in danger,
with war on both sides, then II is
time we took this thing back and
passed legislation, he declared.

But now the United States ship
yards are booming. In May, 1910,
there were 1873 shipways available in
this country, but this year there are
322 and others under construction.
About 100000 tons of merchant
shipping will be built this year and
by the close of 1912 the rate will be
about 2,500,000 gross tons year,
according to estimates by the Amer
lean Bureau of Shipping.
Employment in the shipyards will
be approximately $4,000 men, or
almost six times the average in the
pre-war period.
