johnson Says Officials
Should Be Frank
BY HUGH S. JOHNSON

EROM the President down,
= there has been scarcely an
official voice raised in the past
two years that has not given us
the assurance, from time TO time
with more or less emphasis, and
without any back-tracking, that
we can do this defense job with
out losing any economic gains.
The latest of these is a fore
word by Mr.. Sidney Hillman to
a publication of the labor divi-
sion on Ships for Freedom.
"The preservation of our free
system of life Is the aim of our
defense efforts which are based
on the idea that we can produce
more than Hitler can destroy
without losing our economic
gains and our freedom"
OF course this could not pos
sibly mean that we could pro-
duce all that Hitler can destroy
without losing the freedom of
our economic system, its indi-
vidual management or its profits,
in confiscatory taxes and regi-
mentation.
1t could not possibly mean
tha { when we contemplate
mortgaging our future up to
100.000,000,000 of dollars, at the
very minimum, we are not giving
up the economicSSains of wealth
and freedom from taxation of an
onerous nature that our fore
fathers have accumulated here
over the centuries.
IT DOES clearly mean that
while searching with a fine
sieve for any economic gains
that supposedly will not be
given up, the two that are OBJ
viously intended are those de-
signed TO appeal TO working
people-farmers and the like.
But. even here, regarding the
most important ones of these
tless work and a higher stand
ard of living), the idea that we
can escape definitely giving
these up in great quantities if
our effort is 10 be "all-out," in
fact as we'll as in slogans, the
statement is cruel deception.
We are rapidly approaching a
limit TO total defense produc-
ton with the facilities available.
Therefore, if defense production
is to continue TO increase. civilian
production. and therefore con-
sumption will have 10 be cur
tailed.
We say very glibly there can
be no business as usual"
But if there be no business as
usual for the big fellow-and
there will be plenty of business
