 A huge powder and shell indus try, with an output greater than the U. s. total at the end of World War I, has been created literally from the ground up.

 Taken as whole, the picture is breathtaking. impressive. In one short year mighty war industry has been created where none exist ed before. But when the details are examined closely, the picture is not so rosy.
 These ominous things stand out in closeup: shortages in essential raw materials, due to the stupidity and timidity of responsible officials and the cupidity of profit minded bus mess men; also ugly time-wasting strikes, contract breaking and cost ly racketeering by self-seeking so- called labor leaders; also demoral- izing obstruction by bureaucratic brass hats in the Army and Navy.
