Made Rather Bad Guess
In Dark of the Night

Podkins had been walking about
all day looking for lodgings.
When darkness came he was still
searching. At last he noticed q
card in a window.
"Good evening"" he said to the
woman who appeared at the door
in answer to his knock. s'I'm here
in reference to the card in your
window"
ooh, yes! How many might you
want, sir?"
"Only one. You see, I've had a
row with my landlady-"
''But you're not going to pelt her
with it, are you, sir?"
''Pelt her with a room?"
Groom? I've got no rooms.
That card reads 'New-Laid
Eggs"

ARMS PRODUCTION

Our snails pace arms production
doesn't need any declaration Of an
emergency or new Legislation to
speed 1t UP. II needs just one thing,
authorized and responsible manage
ment and leadership in the govern
ment itself. That seems so plain
as not to need argument. Even d
very small industrial effort needs
that. Nobody would dream Of start
ing one without that.
Mr.. Knudsen says that the public
Is sold" to the necessity for speed
and production, but that industry
and labor are asleep. Almost at the
moment he was saying that, another
member Of the rearmament adj
visory overhead, Mr.. Nelson, was
telling us that the trouble is that the
public is apathetic, asleep.
This is not to criticize these gentle
men. They have done marvellous
jobs of making without straw such
bricks as we have manufactured.
The STRAW" that management Of a
great effort needs Is authority. They
haven't got it. But did anybody ever
hear Of any determined effort on
their part to get 1t?
1t is well known that there has been
none. In the absence of such an eff
fort, perhaps we should look twice
at these indictments Of the public,
of labor and Of industry--esp
when one OF these authorities says
that the public is to blame while the
other feels that the public attitude
is satisfactory but that industry and
labor are the goats.
Whenever man, or group Of
men, step into the drivers seat,
there is only one goat when the bus
doesn't run. It is the man at the
controls. If he didn't get the right
gasoline or has accepted a faulty
accelerator, it doesn't lie in his
mouth to blame either the passen-
gers or the rest of the crew.
Mr.. Knudsen Is right about the
public attitude. The public has been
far ahead Of government for defense
from the very start, ahead Of both
congress and the executive depart
ment. It baked at nothing. 1t is
ready for any sacrifice.
AS for labor and industry, they are
the public. Their response at such a
time depends entirely upon govern
ment leadership Of them. They are
the lead, swing and heel horses of
this team. They can haul the load
and put every ounce of their weight
on the traces. But they can't set
the pace and direction without a
guiding intelligence and inspiration
to spark the effort. There is no
hanging back on the industrial side.
It has never been more willing and
eager since World War I.
The solution Of our problem
doesn't reside in words and gestures
and laws and new, strange and un-
American devices. It resides in
work and common sense and COM
petent leadership.
