and navy its breakdown of required
materials and asked for schedule Of
production. What will you need
when?" the army was asked.
1t was contemplated that industry
could then be set to work producing
the needed items In order and an at
tempt would be made to get deliveries
of the needed products at the needed
time
At this point, the story goes, Knud-
sen stepped in to declare his objec-
lions. The figures, he said, were all
wrong and all that was really needed
was an additional $4,000, 100000 or
so. The army brass hats agreed and
told the SPAB people to come back
in March or April and the army would
tell them II they needed anything else.
Such is the status of the victory
program" 1t is victim of a desire
on the part of Knudsen and those as
ISOLATED with him to avoid the great
shake-ups in industry that would be
required to get an additional $780,
000,000,00 worth of production.
Vice Pres. Henry A. Wallace, Donald
Nelson and Leon Henderson of SPAB
and Knudsen and the business as-us-
ual crowd associated with him. Sid
ney Hillman, labor's representative in
the OPM, leans toward the Knudsen
camp, according to the SPAB crowd.
Hillman's break with the New Deal
ers on SPAB came when Henderson
and Nelson proposed that Henderson's
office of civilian supply work out
quirements.
Industry branch chiefs in the OPM
would then be instructed that any in
dustrial capacity above that needed
for the bare civilian requirements
should be converted to production Of
war goods. To carry through this
conversion they would be given full
powers.
The Henderson, Nelson plan also
called for the appointment of William
L. Bait, an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. per-
son, as deputy OPM director in charge
Of this reorganized establishment.
Knudsen could be used for speech
This plan was aborted by Knudsen
and Hillman who announced that in
1ustry branch chiefs would report d.
rectly to them No mention was made
Of the proposed civilian requirement
schedule.
Also cause for anger between the |
SPAB and Hillman was the latter's in
,istence that copper production plans

War provides the answer
Wars in the past have weakened or
destroyed entire culture patterns. The
people who inhabit Greece today can
not duplicate the Parthenon any more
than the Philippians can duplicate the
Temple at Karnak. In the deserts of
Arabia and the jungles of Central
America there are deserted cities of
splendid proportions. Where is their
science. d. and their art?
War, famine and pestilence are the
three great scavengers of history.
Famine and disease wipe out popu-
lations. War burns up sciences, arts
and institutions. War plays the same
role in society that conflagration
plays in a great city. Once they are
started, no one can say where they
may end, but so long as they rage,
they will continue to destroy what
ever is in their paths.

IRENE PAUL.
RECORDS LIFE
OF LUMBE
By ALEXANDER L. CROSBY

Anybody who has washed the blood
from a beaten worker is apt to de-
velop a viewpoint that differs sharp
| ly from the tempered judgments of
economists and government statisti-
clans. Irene PAUL is one of these
people.
Her 128-page book, Were the Peo-
pie" has just been published at Du-
luth. 1t is chiefly COLLECTION Of the
columns she wrote for Midwest Labor,
| the CLIO weekly, and it is fitting that
her volume bears the imprint of the
labor journal. Understandable, too,
since few commercial publishers
would touch this stuff
For almost five years Miss PAUL
has been writing about the workers
in an area under the heel of the steel
and lumber kings She has seen them
emerge from the status of morgan
lied beasts to that of unionized men.
She has watched their political
struggles against their bosses as we'll
as their picket line battles. She has
oCCll oOllC VI LuCln lcdFc Lie
sofa woods to carry their fight against
fascisms to Europe.
OF these things Miss PAUL has writ
ten with white anger. Some of her
stories are incredible. You can't be-
lieve that the head nurse at Laona,
Wis, in a hospital owned by the Con-
nor family, would have said No to the
man who drove the sausage truck.
A woman, was giving birth to baby
on dirty blanket within the truck
but the Conner family didn't want
relief cases in the clean hospital
when Dudley returned to the truck
Joe had cut the baby free with a
jacknife used an hour before for cut
ting taxpayer for the roof. There
were no bandages, not even a piece
of string. Joe took off his sock and
unraveled It, and tied the baby's navel
with a piece Of soiled yarn. Then
the truck rolled on, leaving a trail Of
flood"
1t happened, all right.
Miss PAUL is not always mad She
likes to kid the politicians who love
the workingman. She writes with |
fine tenderness about the homeless
and the other working
class wanderers. Thus, her Song of |
the Transient Worker:
The sun is bright, the skies are blue. |
Honey, I'd like to stay with you,
But there amt no work for me to do
My private car is waitin' -.
A yard, fence an a swingin' gate.
Great Jesus, Godl Would that be
great
There goes the whistle of the freight
Ny private car is waitin'
Honey, some day the time will come
When a workin' stiff don't have to

This book is the kind you keep read
ng to the end. When you put 1t
Iown, you think of the social bank
uptcy of the commercial press. No

devise ways TO destroy their ability
to cause disease while they still
keep their property of marshaling
the defenses of the plant they at

using modified viruses for vaccina-

sion of such studies to animal and
human diseases may lead to pro-
