For Improved Transportation.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
II American commerce is to make It.
self felt In the world of tomorrow, It
must prepare now to experiment with
new ideas which may make it possible
for the American exporter to ship Ameri-
can products to all parts Of the world in
the shortest possible time.
We cannot stand still; neither can we
sit still, while aggressive powers abroad
use modern methods Of transportation to
gain control OF the waterways OF the
world for themselves. We also must
experiment in the production OF bigger
types OF air and undersea transports that
will carry cur commodities Ill over the
world.

impossible with their limited appropria-
tons. The authority behind each direc-
tive was never clearly stipulated, and its
Interpretation rested with the particular
agency.
The need for a centralized authority
to mobilize manpower becomes more
evident every day as chaos increases in
this field. The War Manpower Commits
sion now seeks q national service act to
underwrite the authority it has failed to
exercise and to give the semblance Of
necessary Capitalization.
THE Selective Service Administration,
already intrenched in one part of the
field, seeks by the same means to broaden
and extend its control. But the onrush-
ing of events has now made selective
service obsolete as the administrative
mechanism for total mobilization Of
manpower, while the War Manpower
Commission has not begun to do the
job"
1t occurs to me that, if John @. Public
will provide the necessary appropriations
to keep these agencies sufficiently en-
gagged in their present activities, Ameri-
can business will produce the goods and
do the job in spite of these agencies.

Differs With Mr.. Willkie
Concerning Break With Vichy.
To the Editor of The Star:
May comment on an article in The
Star headed "Willkie Hits Administra-
ton; Backs Enlightened Republicans?
this article startles and confuses me. He
accuses the national administration OF
lack of courageous leadership. To be
exact: This lack" says Mr.. Willkie. lis
nowhere more plainly illustrated than
by its continued recognition Of the vicious
and subversive Vichy government"
I distinctly remember hearing Mr..
Willkie say in his radio broadcast of
October rs that the administration in
time Of war could have prevented him
from making his world tour Instead,
he was not only allowed to co. but was
intrusted with ofIicial business by our
President. This certainly was a broad
minded gesture. During his travels Mr..
Willkie called the attention OF foreign
peoples to the fact that while he was a
defeated rival, yet the President had al
lowed him to travel abroad in the ca
pacity of an emissary.
That was last week! This week his
attitude has changed Mr.. WILKES
mental processes are too devious for me
to follow. Is 1t possible that he is adj
dicted to longtime secret planning?
AZ far as advocating the severance Of
American ties with Vichy Is concerned,
feel that Mr.. Willkie is wrong. In fact,
his advice Is stupid. Granted that the
Vichy government ID bad at the mo-
ment, 1t still Is all that is left Of France.
There Is one very good and sufacient
reason why we ought not to break with
the vichy government. This reason Is
that the Nazis wish VI to do So
