The Great Game Of Politics
Bon on Tires Declared Only Beginning
OF Federal CurtuiIment Of Industry

The big idea, 50 far as possible, Is
to force every business and indi-
vidual to shift to q war basis. The
pressure to do this will be Irresistible
and the dislocation very great. Most
people will be affected heavily;
everybody will be Affected some.
There will be no exceptions. As
conversion to war uses progresses
and plant after plant ceases making
things for civilians. shortages In
many thingtin fact. in practically
everything. will develop. The auto
mobiles are just the start. Right
now. they seem an overwhelming
deprivation. but before this year Is
out We will be deprived Of 50 many
other things to which we are accus-
toned that the pain of that depriva-
ton will just be part Of the whole.
We may as well face the realities now.
Half Measures Not Enough.
This Is not mere talk; this Is the
truth, and the people ought to
grasp the facts now and recognize
their inevitability. This is 4 elobal
war in which this Nation Is threat
ened as never before In its history.
The only way In which the war can
be won is by concentration OF all
our resources and all our strength
upon winning 1t. Our enemies are
ruthless. skilled and equipped. They
cannot be crushed by half measures
Victory cannot be achieved merely
by paying taxes and buying bonds
The only way to win this war Is by
the conversion Of the whole Nation
to the business Of winning 1t.
Clearly, that cannot be done with
out imposing hardships upon all the
people. 1t cannot be done without
requiring, In addition to sacrifices Of
income, sacrifices of many other
things-luxuries, conveniences and
even some things which We have
come to consider necessities. That Is
the price we are going to have to pay
for victory. 1t Is an unacceptable
and a high price-but no matter how
high, it must and should be paid.
The sooner we begin to pay the
cheaper it will be in the long run.
And the Government is everlastingly
right in forcing us to convert, con-
serve and curtail 1t is stark stu
pidity to hoard because Of shortages.
or to pull back because Of the pres
sure. 1t is simply enlightened
selfishness to cooperate with the
Government - and to cooperate
wholeheartedly and cheerfully. What
else Is there to do, anyway?

. few months, will the full impact
be felt.
1t is futile to point out that this
shortage need never have occurred;
that 1t is due to lack Of foresight
upon the part OF those In control
in Washington; that 1t involves not
only vast inconvenience but greatly
increased danger from motors driven
on worn-out tires. All these things
and more-are true. but they do
not alter the fact that not for .
long time will there be tires avail
able for civilian use and that that
Is going to change living conditions
everywhere very greatly. Our new
subsidized synthetic rubber plants
will have all they can do to supply
military needs for more than year.
The optimistic forecast for 1943 by
Mr.. Jesse Jones does not alter the
situation very much.
Other Curtailments Due.
To a certain extent these things
are appreciated now and people are
getting ready to do without their
automobiles. What is not appreci-
ated, however, is that living without
automobiles is only one Of the things
which we will have to get used to
very shortly. Other large indus
tries are about to be curtailed.
Some Of them will be chopped on
sharply: others will be gradually
reduced through priorities and other
methods. The Government plan is
to force them into war production
wherever 1t is possible to convert
for that purpose But, where 1t is
not possible to convert, the plan is
to force them to release men and
materials needed for war produc-
ton.

hangs heavily over our neighbors
below the Rio Grande, and they
won't need much prodding to
throw their full weight on the
side of the United States.
The principal South American
republics-Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, still hesitate over the ex-
tent to which they can go with
out danger to themselves. The
other republics are prepared,
however, not only to break COM
pletely with the "robber barons"
OF the Axis, but also to declare
war on them and to contribute
In every possible way to defeat
of the Axis.
The situation in Argentina is
peculiar. The present govern
ment represents mostly the
landed aristocracy, big business
and finance. 1t is slow in max
ing definite and far-reaching de-
cisionS. In some quarters it is
believed that outside Of consid-
ering the United States as q non-
belligerent-thus making Argen-
tine ports available to American
warships-it would not care to
get involved in the war.
Government Must Be Cautious.
However, the classes which
the Buenos Aires government
represents comprise less than 20
per cent of the population Of
Argentina and the other 80 per
