very good!'
And Wine?"
Wine, of course, said the cap
tain.
| The store of French wine gave
out recently, so Capt. Zanger
bought California product. But
before he selected brand, he let
the crew taste samples of various
American wines. They voted their
favorite unanimously-and it was
the most expensive brand to be
had.
Apparently, the seamen live
the life of Riley. But there have
been grumblings over low pay
| (variously reported as from S. to
$40 a month). In September of
last year it was reported that 80
percent of the original mainten-
ance crew of 1870 had deserted and
gone to join General De Gaulle's
volunteer forces in Canada.
There's another report that crew
men are giving blood donations to
the British.
Neither Capt. Zanger nor the
French Line would comment on
the reports.
Certainly the crew looks we'll
fed and happy. Their clothing and
keep are provided and hospitable
Americans send them tickets to
the theater, the movies and the
opera. .. .. r..
Some of the men are studying
English. but there was not suffi-
cient interest in the subject to
continue regular shipboard class
eS.
There's a doctor on board, but,
says Capt. Zanger, the men are
never sick. And there's a little
Catholic chapel where a light
burns at all times. Inc men stop
in there frequently.
Most of the crew comes from
German-occupied Brittany. They
had had no word from their fam
lilies for almost year, until re-
Gently, when a cable from the
French Admiralty arrived. The
cable, posted in the gangway,
lists dozens of names followed by

MINISTRY OF DEFENSE"
FACTS ABOUT THE BASES
DEBATE DELAYS CONGRESS
AIRPLANES AND ENGINES

Debate on the LeaSe-Lend Bill
was, in our opinion, some
what wild-eyed, especially on the
part of opponents. Frankly, we
see no basis for the allegation
that the measure will establish
a dictatorship" in this country,
or that it will undermine the
fundamental liberties of the
American people. That it imple-
ments a new national policy,
making the United States the
arsenal for the democracies" is
undoubtedly true. This repre-
sents a tremendous shift of posi-
ton on the part of the United
States but it seems to be in ac-
cord win majority public opin-
ion.
The accusation that passage of
the Lease-Lend Bill automat-
ically puts the United States
into the war is somewhat far
fetched. Undoubtedly, the Unit
ed States will face some risk in
carrying out its determination to
arm Great Britain, Greece, China,
and, possibly other nations that
are engaged in defending them
selves from aggression. 1t is a
matter of argument, however,
whether these risks are greater
than the risks that this country
will assume through inaction.
Considerable differenct of opin-
ion exists on the subject and
everyone is entitled to his own
conclusion.
We might suggest, in connec-
ton with the Lease-Lend Bill
that the reader should Sc
cure a copy of the legislative pro-
posal and read it carefully. The
scope of the bill is set forth in
understandable terms and while
some matters are left to the dis
erection of the President. the in
tent of Congress is readily appar-
ent. Of course. those Americans
who distrust the President are
adamantly opposed to giving him
any powers whatsoever.
However, in the present state
of world conditions. it seems in
evitable that democracy, in or
der to assert its rights, must pro-
vide its elected officials with
sufficient power to deal with the
dictator-led states.
Four Cabinet officers, Secre-
tarieS Hull, Morgenthau, Stimson
and Knox. are expected to adj
minister the procurement pro-
gram in the cooperative rearma-
ment effort of the United States
and Great Britain and to act as
advisors in connection with eco
nomic cooperation with Eng
land, which will probably be
greatly extended. The Cabinet
group will be, in a degree, q

ment, the Knudsen-Hillman or

The airplane program seems to
be getting along, with indica7
tons that output will Jump s, fast
within the next few months. In
1910, the aircraft industry almost
doubled its floor space, from H.
100000 to 22,5O0,00O square feet,
and made arrangements to dou-
BILE it again. Employees increased
from 10000 to 100000. The re-
suit of this expansion will be- re-
Elected in coming months and
while the output of planes has
barely exceeded 1000 a month,
there is reason to expect much
faster production in the future.

Moreover, it is pointed out that
the agreement permits the Unit
ed States to acquire additional
defense areas on similar ninety
nine-year lease arrangement, if
desired, and that American naval
authorities are given the right to
use waters near the bases and to
use highways and existing nav
al facilities in the territories on
the same basis as British au-
thorities.

Mr.. Wilson's revelation was
made in reply to critics of the
deal who attempted to establish
that the British had been unfair
with the United States. He
points out that under the agree

ships and aircraft within the
areas leased, control all commun-
ications from and to the United

Besides, Chairman Carl Vinson,
of the House Naval Affairs Com

all private land to be purchased
by this Government will be about
$2,000.000. The bases will cover

ing under naval jurisdiction and

Unrestrained Buying
May Bring Priorities
To Steel Industry
Iron Age Says Effort
To Stabilize Scrap Price
Is Yet to Be Tested
Ey TIE Associated Press.

Ey TIE Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Iron Age
said today that if mandatory pri-
critics should be put into effect in
the steel industry in the near fu-
ture, it would be a result of the un-
restrained buying of the past few
weeks.
Neither the steel industry and its
customers nor Government author
tiles have been anxious to have the
rigid control priority system would
entail, the steel magazine said.
"Thus far" the survey continued,
"the supply of steel has been well
handled from the standpoint of
those doing defense work as well as
those in the larger category of non-
defense manufacturing"
Insist Orders Be Booked.
Despite the curbs which steel
companies have been trying to place
on orders" the magazine added,
commercial users are insisting that
orders be put on the books for the
second and third quarters, and in
some instances, for the remainder
of the year"
Turning to another side of the
priority question. Iron Age said:
while the steel industry has been
opposed to priorities on the theory
that there will be enough steel to
go around If buying is done in an
orderly manner, it would undoubted-
ly welcome priorities as an alterna-
tive to excessive building of new
plant capacity. 80
Meanwhile, the survey declared,
defense orders are increasing in
number and total volume Nearly
all steel companies are sold out for
the first quarter, virtually the only
exceptions being defense require
ments, which are given preference
over ordinary commercial orders.
Situation Declared Artificial"
THE success of the Governments
effort to stabilize prices of iron and
steel scrap at reasonably low levels"
Iron Age continued. is still to go
through a more severe test than it
has had thus far.
Prices of many grades have been
reduced from so cents to 50 ton,
but the situation is obviously an
artificial one. in which the law of
supply and demand has been set
aside by fear of what Washington
might do in the event that volun-
tary action Of the scrap trades does
not accomplish the desired result"
The Iron Age scrap composite de-
clined to S2066 from s22 last week.
Steel mills were out of the market,
apparently waiting for the situation
to settle.
The magazine estimated steel in
got output at SO per cent of capacity,
which did not include electric furnace
steel.
