This effort of the administration
to hit upon a formula that will
simultaneously propitiate Negroes
and appease reactionarry southern

can satisfy no man who is serious

those who are seriously engaged In

TRADE TRENDS

Developments in North Africa
and the Solomons have given the
American public a definite lift.
The knowledge that the prepara-
tory stages of the war effort are
being completed and that action
is at last achieving results has
given point to many of the sacri-
fees being asked of the home
front. For this reason more realis-
tic treatment of the problems in
volved in an all-out war effort may
be hoped for
The problem of manpower short
ages, for example, apparently is
being met by the most obvious,
but hitherto least politically fea-
sible, method of lengthening the
standard work week. Steps are be-

a much greater movement of sun
plies and troops from eastern
ports. Particularly will this be
true If American forces continue
to consume large quantities of fuel
and materials.
Despite the evidence that civil
lans may before willing to accept
sacrifices, the War Production
Board has recognized the necessity
Tor keeping the civilian economy
functioning. Although manufac-
ture or new equipment and machin-
cry is being curtailed even more
than in the past, beginning next
month repair and replacement
parts for essential civilian inans-
tries will bear the same priority

when preparations were being
made for the African campaign,
military needs secured absolute
priority.
Problems of war financing are

ing taken to bring industries such
as rubber and coal, whose stand

40 hours, to accept longer weeks as
one of the sacrifices labor can
make in furtherance of the war eff
fort. An increase from 40 to 48
hours as the standard in other in
dustries is also being given serious
consideration. 1t is true that in
many arms and munitions factor
