JOHN AND THE BEAR!

Everybody knows the story
about the woman whose husband
got into a fight with bear. 1t
will be recalled that she stood on
the side lines and rooted: "Go it,
John. Go it. Bear It is safe to
say that this is the attitude OF the
vast majority OF people in this
country in the war of Hitler VS..
Stain. The ''expertS" are giving
Russia six weeks to collapse.
That seems like a generous mar
gin. Meanwhile Of course. all
friends OF England hope that
this breathing space. however
short or long. may help to keep
the NaziS busy and allow a little
more time to get reeniorcements
to England. But here is the catch.
The "experts" practically with
out exception. were as totally
dumbfounded as the rest OF us
when this phase of the war broke
out. SO experts can be mistaken.
And suppose - just for the sake
OF argument that Germany
does not defeat Russia in six
weeks. nor in six months. nor at
all! Suppose, just for the sake or
argument. that Russia succeeds
where England and her Allies
have so far failed in beating Ger
many. Just where does that leave
the world: Nothing seems less
likely at this moment. But Just
the same victorious Russia. sitt-
ing on top of the world is some
thing to think about. Nobody,
since the Finish affair. has had
much faith in Russian military
prOwess. But in the minds of
millions of people has been a pic
ture of the great bear of the north
sitting quietly by while Europe
went about it's business of mass
murder. Most people pictured
him. after the carnage was COM
plete. moving in and gathering up
the scraps. That picture persists.
We arc all for the "Go it John :
Go it Bear attitude. 1t saves US
the necessity of making any pain
full mental adjustments. But Just
the same we can't help thinking
that if the bear had happened to
knock John out. the woman in
the story would have had some
thing on her hands. 1t is not
necessary to be very bright to
see the parallel.

an additional 8 billions--four billion
200 million for the Army and three
billion 500 million for the Navy and
Maritime Commission. Incidentally,
this again throws Treasury plans out
of balance just at the moment when
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee IS ready to report tax bill which
it hoped would partially solve the
problem. ...
TNDUSTRIALISTS coming to
1 Washington for the purpose of
helping the Defense Program are still
bewildered. They are shunted from
agency to agency and, too often, finally
60 home in disgust and without any
encouragement whatever.
There never has been so much con-
fusion at this stage of 4 defense pro-
gram, chiefly because all things are
up to the President to decide and so
much of the time of key men is taken
up with jurisdictional controversies
and things which should have been
settled long ago. :
Plants have been shut down for the
lack OF material and the whole situa-
ton is approaching a crisis. In addi-
ton to discouraging men who want
to help and who have plants that can
produce, these policies are resulting in
much waste of public funds.
Not getting government orders also
means that these plants are not pro-
ducing for the defense we so much
need. am sorry to report that from
all accounts the defense program has
not taken a change for the better.
