which would have placed some
reasonable restraints on the
union wing of the New Deal
party. but that these bills were
smothered in committee in the
Senate under orders from the
White House.
The congressman who voted
for these bills might be made TO
suffer, however, from a general
public impression that Congress
has not even tried TO put down
this arrogant subgovcrnment,
with its taxing power and its
revenue of more than one thou
sand million dollars a year.

question would remain of getting
gasoline in there in sufficient
quantities TO run them.
One hundred bombers would
cat up all a pipeline could
furnish.
These considerations chase the
official answer TO Mr.. Wilkes
charge into difficult ground,
where solution will not be easy
or quick.
No one here will say that suf-
ficient goods to fulfill promises
TO both Russia and China have
left our shores, but even if they
had, the promises would not
have been fulfilled.
Therefore, responsibility must
rest on these several factors
production, shipping losses. Ger
man bombings of Murmansk, the
difficult route to China.
THE production level will con-
Il tinue TO rise, and the per-
centage of expenditures which
is going into construction work
will continue TO diminish. %
or the S5,00O,O00,O00 OF ex-
penditures this month and the
S6,000,000,000 expected for next
month. less than half is now
going into construction.
For the year, the gross total
expenditures, they now say, will
run more than S40000,000, 900,
but the rate of production is
now around S70,000,000,000 a
year.
THIS and the other recon-
Il mendations Of Mr.. Wilkes
speech seemed pointedly directed
at Mr.. Roosevelt-questions like
Indian independence and the de-
ficiency of distinguished Amer
lean representatives in the Near
East and China.
Democrats in Congress ap-
parently felt hurt that Mr.. Will
kie travelled around the world
under Mr.. Roosevelt's auspices
and then assumed a critical
tone, even after the implied
criticism he once received from
the White House during the
trip.

OF course, among those who
voted for the bills may be some
whose records are otherwise UNI
satisfactory.
But the list certainly includes
many very bad incumbents who
voted in favor and who will de-
mand reelection, and with the
Administrators endorsement, on
the ground that they voted con-
sistently for all the war
measures.
4 MAN may have record
IA satisfactory 10 the New
Deal Party and be, nevertheless,
a servant of an evil gang.
He may have voted honestly
against the COON system and
still be rejected by the voters
in blind resentment against the
Senate's submission TO the White
House.
Or, as in the case Of Mas and
Marcantonio, the voters may be
told that the fighting patriot is
at best fool, while the other
man is endorsed notwithstand.

more difficult, but not for the
same reason.
All material must be flown in

India, unless he opened up a new
skyway through Russia the way
he came back.
In any event, the only way to

men who arc terribly unfit and
against men of the finest patri-
otism if they fail to examine the
facts carefully, as they sell
dom do.
MANY voters will want TO re-
A'l buke Congress for its docil-
ity in the matter Of outrages
and evil conduct by unions, but
here again intelligent discrimi-
nation is called for, lest individu-
ais be punished unwisely and
unfairly.
The fact is that the House of
Representatives twice voted bills
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-29

OUR people are going to have
~ a hard time making intelli-
gent selections in this election,
because nobody, in round num-
berS, knows how the incumbents
voted on any other issues than
those connected with President
Roosevelt's forehanded prepara-
tions to meet the Inevitable war,
and even these are confusing.
These records have been
widely publicized with the sug-
gestion that any statesman who
voted against any Of the war
measures, or defense measures
as they were called then, should
be defeated.
Recently, a book of such vot-
ing records has been turned out
under apparently innocent aus
pieces, whose real source is be-
trayed, however. by the fact that
it pointedly omits any mention
of the records of Mayor LaGuar-
dia's political protege. Vito
Marcantonio, the only consistent
follower Of the Communist party
line in Congress.
MARCANTONIO was anti-war,
w anti-defense aid and, ac-
cording TO this books own con-
tentions, anti-American or pro-
Axis, up to the hour when Hitler
attacked Russia, but his record
is ignored and his name does not
occur at all.
That is the tipof on this cam
paign document, but it should be
pointed out also that il con-
dennis Congressman Melvin
Mas, Minnesota Republican,
who fought in the first World
War and who. while this smear
was in progress of compilation in
New York. was serving as a
colonel of the marine corps in
the Pacific.
On October % the Associated
Press reported that this man,
who was selected for defeat by
a group of propagandists while
Marcantonio was given a pass,
was lust back from a four
month tour of duty in the Pa
cific." described him as a flying.
fighting marine colonel and said
he was present during one phase
OF the Solomon Islands battle
and had been decorated in New
Guinea.
So tho voters may find them
selves uicked into voting for

THE war will be won-or lost-by the
United States in the Pacific.
1t will be won only if we center suffi-
Gent naval. air and land forces upon that
objective-as nearly ALL of our forces as
possible.
1t will be surely lost if we continue to
spread our forces thinly throughout the
world, holding inferior positions on all
fronts and having mastery of none.
We do not need to be told the war is
going very badly in the Pacific.
EVEN the incomplete and belated news,
l. and in some cases the inaccurate and
distorted news, tells us continuing and
distressing and depressing story of retreat
and defeat.
1t is not, we may be proud and thank
full and grateful, story of inept or falter-
ing men.
The American fighting men of the
army and the navy and the air forces have
performed superbly in all actions and
under all circumstances.
They fought with courage and tenacity
at Pearl Harbor
They fought gloriously but hopelessly
at Wake Island
They achieved Immortality on Bataan
and at Corregidor.
But always there were too few of them,
and they had too few ships planes and
guns.
THE bulk of American men, ships, planes
and guns we're always at some OTHER
place, usually some very remote place in
distant part of the world-but never in
EFFECTIVE force in even the remote
places.
The discouraging story is continuing
in the SolononS.
There, too, we are paying the penalty
of too few men, ships, planes and guns.
Again the bulk Of American men,
ships planes and guns are some other place

Mr.. WiIlE:ie'S ChGsz'UeS

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Mr.
w WILKES main charge was
that Russia and China were not
getting the aid they were
promised, but he did not say
why.
The answer is not easy 10
find.
1t would be logical 10 assume,
from what has been-announeed
about our production falling
short of our goals, that produc-
ton is responsible.
No precise figures have been
allowed 10 penetrate the ccnsors.
Naturally, these are valid
military secrets, but August pro-
duction. for instance, lis known
TO have been IA per cent behind
the goal. set on August / for
that month.
July was Z per cent behind
its goal.
Unofficial estimates have been
made that we may fall 25 per
cent short of our 60,OQ0-plane
goal for the year and may make
only As 900 planes by January /.
This deficiency is at least
partly attributed, however, to
the fact that we switched from
much light fighter plane produc-
ton into heavy bombers, which
require many times as much
time and material.
PRODUCTION officials around
Il WIPE DO not. however. ac-
cept the theory that production
deficiencies are responsible.
They say that in July and
August they were running at
three and half times the pre-
Pearl Harbor rate of production.
The money is pouring out at
the rate of $5,000.000,000 a
month for war goods.
They will not take the blame.
They say the trouble is shipping.
The shipping authorities in the
government say their end is
holding up well. az least the
construction end.
Ship production for the year.
they say. will exceed their S,O00.-
OO0-ton goal. and month by
month they are ahead OF their
program.
Losses, particularly on the
Murmansk run 10 Russia, have
been running particularly high

gamey fight" as Secretary of the Navy
Knox said
\ Ii Americans are deeply proud of it's
a (the navy's) heroic accomplishments
in this war;" as President Roosevelt said on
Navy Day.
But we are steadily losing precious
ships and priceless men and vital battles.
We are not losing because Japan has a
bigger navy or better navy.
We are losing because our own grand
navy is spread out too thin in too many
places.
We are losing because we are cOntinu-
ously opposing superior Japanese forces
with numerically inferior American forces.
This would be a shameful waste Of
American lives and materials, even If the
Pacific war was minor affair and of only
secondary Importance in relation to the
war elsewhere.
But the Pacific war is NOT minor
affair.
1t is not secondary to anything.
WYE MUST recognize and deal with the
w grave fact that we will win the whole
war by winning in the Pacific, or lose the
whole wal by losing in the Pacific.
America must dispose its forces in &C.
cordance with this fact.
America must fight where it's mortal
interest lies, as Russia is fighting with
everything it possesses at Stalingrad and
as England is prepared to fight with is
total resources in defense of England.
America must and can defeat and de-
stroy Japan.
But America must muster its total
might to accomplish the defeat and destruc-
ton of Japan and must do it very soon II
our increasing and Gripping losses are not
to raise the spectre Of our own defeat and
destruction.

was the guest of Dr. McIlwnin. who
introduced him. His talk was part
" technical but thoroughly under
staneahle and interesting. He told
OF the need In some people OF diff
ferent yitamins, describing same and
telling what foods contained the
l~ffe-gtving vitamins. But he con-
Guided his talk By saying that II
al people. especially adults. had a
balanced diet. they would not have
to bother about the vitamfns. that a
well-balaneed diet contained all the
ritamsns necessary.
The next speaker was Mr.. Hooker.

of President Stone Mr.. Hooker
told much about the working Of the
Boy Scouts Of America as an or
ganlzation. and how they were mo-
bilized for defense purposes during

the many things the boys could do
and what they were doing in that
line He concluded By compliment
ing the Rotary Club on sponsoring
a troop OF Scouts.
The fireworks for the meeting
