HoIf-Heurted War

1t has been more than nine months
since this country went to war, but
during the past forty-eight hours
the American people have been told
by three eminent authorities that we
still are doing our home front fight
Ing on halfhearted basis.
The President, in lease-lend re-
port to Congress, said that the United
States has achieved only little more
than 50 per cent of it's maximum war
production. Taking their available
resources into account, he added,
Russia and Great Britain have pro-
duced more weapons than the United
States, and this in spite of the fact
that Russia has been in the throes
OF bitter fighting and that Britain is
serving as an offensive base. To this
Mr.. Roosevelt appended a note of
warning-that our civilian economy
must be stripped to the bone so that
we can 60 "all out" on the production
front and live up to our projected
role as the arsenal of the democra-
cies.
Donald Nelson, war production
chief, said that American war pro-
duction has increased $50 per cent
since Pearl Harbor, but that this out
put is not yet sufficient to turn the
tide OF battle in our favor; that, in
TACT, we still are losing the war. He
asked labor and management to take
up the slack in our wasteful economy,
and declared that from here on in
the war program is going to hurt"
The third commentator was Major
General Lewis B. Hershey, national
Selective Service director, who told
the New Jersey Department of the
American Legion that we are going to
need an Army Of from ten to thirteen
million men, and made clear his be-
lief that this force cannot be raised
without lowering the draft age to
eighteen and inducing married men
with dependents next year. General
Hershey also stressed the belief that
more and more war workers will have
to be taken into the service-a point
of view which seems somewhat out
OF line with Mr.. Nelson's insistence on
greater war production-and urged
that industry make preparations now
TO meet this prospect. AS one pos
sibility he suggested Inauguration of
a longer work week and questioned
the wisdom Of granting two weeks
vacation with pay. There is no
maximum in the amount an indus
trial worker can produce" General
Hershey was quoted as saying. You
soldiers found that out in the last
war. We need the spirit of the soldier
in producing planes, guns, wheat,
corn or whatnot."
These are generalized statements.
and the authors either are not in
agreement or refrain from stating
specifically just what they believe
should be done to overcome our de-
ficiencies. But it is evident that the
deficiencies are real and that our war
effort is suffering because Of them.
Yet 1t should be made clear that it
is upt to the Government to determine
how much longer we must labor
under the handicaps of inadequate
production, a work week that is too
short and timid approach to the
problem of drafting married men
with dependents and the younger
men. The people are ready, and have
been ready, for any or all OF the nee
| essary corrections. The problem
seems to be to convince a too
cautious Government of that fact
