but wars are not won without guns"
IL Million of New Goods Sent.
The extent to which this Govern
ment already has moved to see that
the Axis foes should receive the nee
essary guns and other fighting
equipment, was reflected in statistics
contained in the Presidents report.
For the $75,000,000 of articles
already transferred, Mr.. Roosevelt
reported that 100000 represented
materiel already existing and which
he was authorized to turn over to
total valuation of $1,000 100000.
The remaining $11,000,000 preSum-
ably represents equipment manu-
featured since lease-lend funds
were appropriated in March.
In his breakdown of the materials
sslready transferred, the President
lists S26.182,193 for water craft;
$40. $50. 100 for ordnance. arms and
miscellaneous; $9,760,361 for am
munition and explosives; $7,998, psi
for agricultural products, and 81,
028.296 for aircraft.
Other categories cover clothing
and medical supplies, chemical
r equipment, machinery and motorized
vehicles. The dollar value of the
articles authorized for transfer, it
was emphasized, may in many cases
represent an evaluation taking into
account depreciation. obsolescence
and deterioration.
Turning to his statistical story of
the s4,277000,000 in ALLEGATIONS, the
President revealed a marked shift
in emphasis to aircraft and aero
nautical supplies.
Most Money for Bombers.
For this single category, the Presi-
dent said that 81 ,938 1923, 489 already

SPLINTERS
BY Ted ArOnSon
xxxAxxxxxAx&3&&xot1,eo&xaAaAxs
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS

Two days before Christmas | was
attacked by an unidentified sub
marine. 1t was hoped, no doubt,
that the torpedo would either sink
or cripple me. This was in the
form OF short note which informed
me that ! am hypocrite.
However, I did not get down and
crawl on the floor, nor did l cover
like a dog under the lash. For,
in the first place, the note was not
signed, and | consider an anony-
nous letter as the product OF a
moral coward-one who is afraid to
wear his badge or back up his
charges.
Secondly, my conscience did not
convict me of inconsistency or in
sincerity, for, in the article referred
to in the note l expressed views
which l have held for many years
ever since l heard lecture by an
eminent jurist. It isn't easy to keep
from stepping on someone's toes.
On the very same day received
a Christmas card from a well-known
educator, which contained the fol-
lowing words. "Your articles under
the heading. "Splinters," have been
much enjoyed. Your point OF view
is practical and needed in our
grievously troubled world
Then there are persons who say
they appreciated certain articles
and wonder if I had them in mind
when I wrote them. OF course not
More likely I had myself in MINI
for I know more about myself thar
do Of other folks. II certain com
ments fit other people, it is because
they fit me- Human nature, after
all, is pretty much the same ir
most individuals.
I also find that ideas that are
worthwhile, and anything which il
helpful in our relation to each 9th
err and to our nation, helps me
There is room for improvement ir
all of us. So, I'll take chances or
getting more brick-bats.
