Maybe the govment should do
something about this demand for
hot shot public officials to come
out into the country and make
speeches on matters pertaining
to the war. 1t is nice Of the citi-
zenry to want to hear the low
down about the war effort,
straight from some Washington
horses mouth, and it is flatter-
ing to the officials to be asked
to come and make remarks.
But for a number of reasons,
delivery of those inspiring mes
sages interferes with the war.
In the first place, there is a
transportation shortage and the
railroads and airlines shouldn't
be cluttered up by public speak
ers travelling from and to Wash
ington. Secondly, these officials
really don't have time to make
these speeches, if they are to do
their administrative jobs right.
Thirdly, the ghosts who write
the speeches for the name Off
Gals don't have the time to write
good speeches, being too busy
writing publicity handouts and
answering questions.
To save wear and tear on
ghosts, transportation and the
hot shots themselves, therefore,
some kind of a national wartime
economy campaign should be
launched to cut down on the
number of Interruptions imposed
on busy officials.
PRIORITIES PROPOSED
A limitation order might be
issued, priorities assigned, and
speakers rationeo on the basis of
say one speech per 10000 people
per six months.
! Maybe, that is too rich a ra-
ton, for after looking over the
advance copies of a lot of these
speeches, the pattern begins to
jell and you get so you know
what's coming next. If the
country could get along on syn
thetic speeches for the duration,
a conservation program could be
put over which should leave
everyone reasonably happy and
just about as inspired as if they
had a shot of the real Mccoy.
For all wartime speeches. like
all political speeches seem to run
to formula, and with a simple
outline as a guide and a few
blank spaces to be filled in with
local references there is no rea-
son why an ersatz speech
couldn't be delivered just as well
