POLITICS VERSUS
NATIONAL SECURITY

NATIONAL SECURITY
This is q highly controversial topic
II is eosy to get q hot argument on
onv Of it's several Sides But those on
the inside, with no personal or Po'It'-
cal oxes to grind, say that the sooner
we institute nationwide gasoline ro-
tionne, the quicker we can win this
war.
The story is that all the best in
formed administrators, up to and IN
cIudino President Roosevelt. realize we
are wasting irrepIoceoble rubber every
hour we permit automobiles to oPer-
ate for non-essentiol purposes.
They know that tire burned out
IN the midwest, southwest or far west
Where gasoline is plentiful - has
been diverted from war use just as
definitely and finally as O tire worn
out on the eastern seoboord.
They are convinced that it is silly
even to think about getting enough
synthetic rubber for two or three years
to relieve the situation.
Through general surveys, as we'll as
from isolated emergency situations,
they have obtained evidence that q
crisis is on the way in the tronsPor-
lotion of workmen to war industry
plants. The tire stockple is utterly in
adequate to' do more than defer pro-
duction stoppoees based upon this
couse
We hove neither the time, the man
power, the materials nor the money
wit which to construct sufficient
housing within walking distance Of
war plants, and move there the work.
ers who now depend on automobiles to
get to work.
Perhaps the reason the President
has not already ordered nation wide
rotioning Of gasoline, in order to pre-
vent general use Of tires. is that this
is on election year.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not running for
reelection, Of course But all men,
bers Of the House and q third Of the
senators must face their constituents
in November. They may have convino-
ed the President that for their sokes
he must delay such presumably un-
popular moves as nationwide gasoline
rotioning until the votes have been
cost.
We, on the outside, can only &C.
cept the focts obtoinobe from the
insiders, SO long as they stand up
against every available crosscheck.
The menace of the rubber shortage
meets such tests.
On that boss, With the utmost Of
sympathy for the oil industry and the
notions motorists, we do not see how
Mr.. Roosevelt can weigh the fortunes
Of individuals, who like beino MEM
bers Of Congress, against the nations

1t the rubber situotion is as criti-
col as Washington soys, and as we be-

Detroit evening times., 1942-01-05

today on the future war work OF the auto
motive industry The time has come for
some straight talk and clear presentation of facts.
We all want to win this war as soon as
humanity possible. The Nation knows that indus
trial superiority will do it. That superiority
belongs to America, SO long as our industrial re-
sources are wisely used and the managements that
created this superiority are allowed to do the job
without interferences
The automotve industry didn't wait until
Pearl Harbor to start doing its part Since the be-
ginning of the emergency, the industry has bad
the vision to see ahead and realize what the Coun
try might require of it.
We knew the job of converting plants,
machines to bring out new models and new prod
ucts We have been doing it for years.
While the American people were still debating
as is their right in a democraey-the questions
of conscription, conveys, lend lease and other
problems of early l941, this industry was at work
on US. defense production
On hundreds of projects, l94l marked the
transition from the tooling-up stage to mass pro-
duction Billions of dollars of war work is now the
job of this industry. Present capacities are being
doubled, trip1ed and, in some cases, quadrupled.
Guns eannons, tanks, airplanes and airplane
gnes are being shipped at a rate double that con-
sidered possible year ago.
The industry's executives and engineers early
realized this job could not be done by job shop
methods-a cannon on the lathe this morning and
orankshaft on the same machine this afternoon
The volume and mechanical perfection of this war
material demand accurate tooling and uninter-
rupted mass production.
The automotive industry is prepared to carry
out in letter and spirit the requirements of the
Government of the United States for war produe-
ton We have cleared the decks for about action
We mean ito the uttermost.
The Government has far more work ahead
work that be done by our industry if it is to
be done at all and if it is to be done in time.
We stand, however under an attack and a
challenge. bis attack impugns our integrity our
, ability, our LOYALTY TO our Country ~
Detroit evening times., 1942-01-05

The sudden shutting off of the crude rubber
supply and the consequent emergency curtailment
of civilian automobile production has suddenly
upset all plans, making it impossible to keep auto
motive workers employed as planned during the
time that the industry is toong up for the transfer
reproduction activity into additional war work.
Detroit evening times., 1942-01-05

The automotive industry has been criticized
by people, some with genuine desire to help this
country, and others hiding ulteror motives behind
acloak of patriotism.
We have been accused simultaneously of refus-
ing to do our part, and of obtaining an excessive
proportion of the war production program.
Next, while it was being alleged falsely that
we subordinated our war work to civilian produc-
tion, we ourselves had to cope with delay after
delay in the war production preparations, as re-
suit of changing conditions.
We have put in enormous amounts of time
and effort figuring on assignments which did not
develop. We have sought contracts to get started
on-more contracts to keep plants operating-to
keep our men employed-and, most important of
ALL to produce useful weapons for our Army and
Navy.
The sudden shutting off of the crude rubber
supply and the consequent emergency curtament
Detroit evening times., 1942-01-05

The planning of this transition from civilian
to war work has had to evolve. AS late as last
August, the Senate of the United States voted to
strike from an appropriation bill, as unnecessary,
Sl,347 100000 with which the Army sought to
acquire reserves of ordnance equipment including
tanks and trucks.
On the records of the Tolan Committee of the
House of Representatives is the statement of Un-
dersecretary Patterson that earlier ourtailment of
car production, which he had urged probably
would not have resulted in greater employment of
our industry facilities because the Army did not
have the work to put in them Men who are uner-
ployed today would have been unemployed then
and still would be unemployed.
We are not criticizing-we are not blaming.
We might have proposed doing many things diff
ferently, but quarter backing from the bench and
the stands doesn't win games.
Detroit evening times., 1942-01-05

We can take 1t, and rest our case on the quality
and the volume of war materials our plants
now turning out and will turn out But the attacks
on this industry's war work constitute gross at
tempt to deceive the American people - raising
false hopes and expectations Above ALL they
designed to create division so that certain groups
may obtain control of the productive machinery
of the United States.
Call them by any name you will, the plans of
certain labor leaders constitute design to transfer
management of the automotive industry from the
men who know how to make things to those who
have no training or qualifications for the respon-
sibility.
The men who led the original sitdown strikes,
who tolerated and encouraged not scores but hun
dreds of sitdowns, slowdowns and other forms of
production sabotage, now propose that they
the capable ones to guide the greatest single be-
hind tho 1 IN oe L;1tv-rroduction for u,r

The Los Angeles Angels and the
Seattle Rainiers meet at Los An

of the final round in the Pacific
Coast league Shaughnessy playoffs.
Los Angeles went into the finals
yesterday by defeating the San Die
60 Padres in the second game of
their doubleheader, 81, after 80
loss in the opener.
The nightcap victory gave the
Angels a four to three edge in the
series. Seattle previously had ELI
minated the Sacramento Senators,
winners of the regular season pen
nant.
A home run by Bill Salkeld in the
sixth inning gave the Padres their
winning margin in the first game.
In the second game Red Lynn
pitched brilliant three-hit ball for
the Angels. He was touched only in
the fifth inning when the Padres
scored their lone run.
