Hail to Mr.. Nelson

-pJE annoinrent Of an authorati HEAD of wartime
supply and production has long been advocated by
informed people, and long overdue
II has taken the President long time to eaten up
with the people in this important matter.
Before the war diffusion of authority over national
defense production amounted to national disgrace and
scandal
Since the war. it has amounted to national danger
and at least potential disaster
The appointment of single, responsible. authorl-
tative and capable of wartime supply and produc-
ton is obviously good thing.
Mr. Donald NJ Nelson has many excellent quaIih-
cations for the job.
HAS impressive experience in business and indus
I trial matters bearing directly on his new job.
He is widely respected by the political, industrial
and labor leaders with whom he must work and over
whom he has authority
Fortunately Mr. Nelson is not politician.
This is definitely not a job for politician.
Il is very definitely not job for reformer, an
agitator or visionary proessor-and Mr. Nelson is none
Of these things
His lifelong training and experience have been in
American business and industry.
His personal reputation and success have been
achieved in business and industry.
And since the Job assigned to him is essentially
Of modifying and utilizing American business and IN
dustry for efficient conduct of successful war ne seems
What Mr. Nelson now says is probably clear clue
to what he Will do.
WHAT he says is well said

war material to lick Hitler and the laps, and to do ii in
the shortest possible time hsrst public statement

I'VE going to build many planes and tanks

to do with going to be criticized because built
too much he said earlier at the conference of
The President very wisely picked man LIKE Mr.
Nelson
Will the President with equal wisdom let Mr.. Nelson
do this industrial job unhampered by incompetent poll
ticians and visionary professors and dsoyal agators

Defend West Coast

THE West Coast of America from Alaska to the Canal
Zone and including the states of Washington Oregon
and California should be the BEST defended area for
which the American government is responsible
The American West Coast is already vast zone of
vital military operations.

are situated the West Coast.

if it is possible for him to REACH the area.

Coast so securely and adequately convince him any

Since the American West Coast is our most vu-
nerabe area it should certainly be made the most
impregnable.
1t should TEEN with trained troops, not simply those
destined for embarkaton to other combat areas abroad
but adequate number permanently stationed for the
successful defense of American military operations and
the American civilian population.
No other American area is similarly vulnerable, at
least at present.
WHILE Americans everywhere should be the alert
w and American cities in all parts of the nation
should prepare both military and civilian defenses the
immediate program should be carried with of
reasonable proportions.
The places of remote danger should not be empha-
sized to the detriment of the places of immediate and
present danger
The increasing but still not ample defense instala-

concentrated at the sensitive spots easily discernbe

has the automobile industry had
such a committee and there are
