THE HOME FROM T

This is the job - TO mould our

under the new War Production
Board, we are really hammering

Donald N. Nelson. intends that
every ounce Of material not reQuir-
ed for absolutely essential civilian
needs. Every machine and every
plant which can be spared from
civilian production and converted
to military uses, shall work for
war.
That's going to bring this strug-
gle to the home front as it hasn't
been brought before. AS time
goes on it's going to test the met
tie Of every one Of us, in one way
or another.
For some while new the trends
have indicated that the American
consumer faces increasing depriva-
ton, must be prepared for increas-
ing sacrifice. and last week was no
exception.
All this underlines the fact that
the civilian iii this fight for De-
mocracy must practice two SOL
diery virtues; he must be cheerful
and unafraid.
What the President said about
fear that the only thing We have
TO fear is fear itself is particular
ly true on the consumer front.
Hoarding is fear operating in

can't beat shortages by boarding.

The point is that fundamentally,

der the most unlikely conditions

But suppose and this isn't

Agriculture are jointly concerned
about it suppose some people,
motivated by mreasoning fear, be-
gin to hoard staple groceries.
If enough people are moved by
the contagion Of example and do
likewise, retire great quantities of
staples to what amounts to dead
storage, you have the rudiments
of a serious situation. Prices py-
ramid in response to suddenly
stimulated demand, the time comes

days work in the first seven
months of this year."
: In terms of percentage the figure
is small, but in terms of man-days
and lost production, it looms as a
danger to our whole war effort. In
the man-days lost during the first
seven months of this year, more
than $50 two-engine bombers could
have been produced. And in addi-
ton to this is the fact that few
men can tie up whole war plants.
And when a few plants can tie up
our whole war effort, then this
fraction of one per cent becomes a
positive menace.
While only about 100 men were
involved in a recent dispute at an
Indiana steel plant, their strike
affected 700 workers and halted
work in two mills. Four hundred
striking molders in six Ohio found
ries kept an additional 300 work
men from jobs-all plants engaged
in 100 per cent war production.

tions.

alone, he added, five more ships
could have been delivered during a
late 50-day period If more steel had
been available.
insufficient steel is also slowing
the production of other basic war
needs. And that is the compelling
reason why every pound of steel
should be conserved. Not one
pound of steel should be used a for
any construction which is not inr
mediately necessary. a
The st. Lawrence power project
and similar uncalled-for political
schemes are cases in point. If CQp-l
gress should approve them, a gi-
gantic quantity of steel would have
to be diverted to their construction.
Those projects would not come
into service for four years and peKr
haps more. And in the meantime,
industries upon which our fighting
forces depend for supplies NOW
would have to do with less.
On top of that, the st. Lawrence
and kindred experiments would re-
quire an enormous amount of
labor, much of it highly skilled
Paul McNutt has been pointing out
that we are definitely on the verge
of a manpOwer shortage in, num-
ber of basic war industries. The
more labor we use on non-essen-
tials, the less labor we will have
available for essentials.
In any period, these experiments
in state socialism, are of highly
debatable character. In this per-
Iod, their construction would
amount to criminal waste of our
- materials, men and
money alike.
We are fighting war to save our
selves from the Hitler state social

CLOSED SHOP THROTTLES
MUSIC WORLD

Musical progress is being stopped
in America by little man in Chi
cago. He is taking us back so years,
beyond the early days of the radio,
beyond the pre-phonograph days
when no melody fingered on beyond
its echo. Prepare yourself hence
forth to listen to the tunes of yes
terday, as long as your records hold
up, for the American Federation of
Musicians has decreed that no new
recordings and no new records
shall be made.
Yes, musical progress is being
stopped. Amateurs are barred from
the air by the closed shop. Army
and Navy bands cannot play the
national anthem at war bond rallies
because of the closed shop. Re-
cording shops and record stores are
folding up. No new recorded tunes,
from now on, will be available for
your home or for your radio station
because of the closed shop.
Already a triple threat to our
war effort, the closed shop extends
its long tentacles into our homes
and places of amusement, thus not
only hampering amateur musical
but endangering ma
tional morale as well. With music
so necessary to our well-being, par
in wartime, and its well
known advantages in speeding war
production, this move on
the part of the closed-shop frater-
nifty should, at long last, demon
strate to the American people the
dangers of the far-reaching powers

The big upset of the day was the
tremendous Republican victory in
the Democratic stronghold of Kent
county, where county offices held by
Democrats, fell to the Republicans,
while majorities were being piled
up for the state ticket there. .
Political observers saw in the
Kent county victory reflections of
the Democratic State Convention in
Dover last September when Mr..
Berl defeated U. S. Senator James
H. Hughes of Dover for renomina-
tion. The Kent county action was
taken to be a reputation of the
Democratic state organization
which supported Mr.. Berl's candi-
dacy against Senator Hughes, an
ardent New Deal supporter. How
ever, Senator Hughes spoke on be-
half of the entire Democratic ticket
during the campaign.
Kent county offices captured by
the Republicans include those of
recorder of deeds, sheriff, clerk of
the peace, register in chancery and
clerk of the orphans court, re-
ceiver of taxes and county treasur-
er, coroner and two of the three
seats in the levy court. In addition,
the Republicans won all three state
Senate seats in the district, where
terms expire and six of the 10
House seats.
All of the New Castle county
Offices went to the Re-
publfcans and control of the levy
court was retained there by a two

atives.

RETAILERS FOR VICTORY

During the entire month of July,
Retailers for Victory" campaign
will take place. The purpose is to
give War Bonds and Stamps the
biggest promotional push ever ex-
tended to any cause by American
retailing.
A bulletin issued by the Institute
of Distribution, an organization
representing 10000 chain stores,
tells the story. The Treasury be-
lieves that from July on, $1,000,-
100000 worth of War Stamps and
Bonds can be sold each month, on
a purely voluntary basis. Ameri-
can retailing is expected to make
up large proportion of the total
sales. AS the bulletin puts 1t,
objective of this month-long cam
paign will be to push bonds and
stamps so hard through window
and inside store displays, through
salutes and messages in news
paper advertising and radio pro-
grams, through expanded efforts to
sell bonds and stamps to employees
and to stimulate these employees, in
turn, to sell at least stamps to con-
sumers that, as result, each re-
taller will sell bonds and stamps
as close to four per
cent of stores sales during July as
possible"
July will simply mark the start
of this gigantic endeavor. Each
month thereafter, for. the duration
Of war, retailers will continue to
promote bonds and stamps, adver-
tise bonds and stamps and sell
bonds and stamps. Independent
stores as we'll as chains will par
ticipate. And every store will be
doing it without a cent of profit to
itself.
