WHY WAS HIGGINS CONTRACT
CANCELLED?

(Orovllle Mercury Registar)
With merchant shipping still the ma
tionS bottleneck; with submarines sink
ing United Nation ships faster than they
can be replaced; with the fate Of Russia
possibly hanging on the success of sec
ond front in Europe, and with the sue
cess of such front endangered by the
lack of shipping for transporting troops
and material-in the face of all that the
Maritime Commission cancels its contract
with A. j. Higgins of New Orleans for
200 liberty ships.
Higgins was we'll on the way towards
production of these ships at the rate of
21 per month, which, it is said, would
be at a fast enough rate to equal all the
other shipyardS in the country. Using
the assembly line method, he was going to
revolutionize the ship building industry.
We have a right to assume that he
could have accomplished what he proms-
ed, for the Maritime Commission, in can
ceiling the contract, does not criticize his
method or intimate that he could not
have succeeded. 1t merely states there
Is shortage of steel. Higgins replies
that there is dirty work somewhere, cit
ing that he had been informed month
earlier that he never would be allowed
to lay keel.
Now this is a very vital matter and
should be cleared up. If we are that
short of steel it is a grave crisis for the
country. 1t amounts to an admission that
unless our navy can stop or slow down
materially the U-boat sinkings we shall
lose the war.
We don't think the crisis is that grave.
It looks more as though the unconven-
tional methods of Mr.. Higgins had arous
ed effective opposition in some quarters.
In that case, the matter should have a
complete airing. Maybe there is a scan
dial here as bad as the one surrounding
rubber On the other hand, it is possible
that the Maritime Commission is COM
pletely justified and merely is giving
the wrong excuse for policy reasons. If

which the public is not getting the real

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

Everything is going to be all right
from here on in. and Hitler might
as we'll call off his submarines. For
two societies of women, one IN
New York and one in New orleans,
have submitted to the Maritime
Commission a proposal that prac-
ticallv defeats the U-boat menace.
What these good ladies want to
do is present to the skipper OF eV-
erv new Liberty ship put into COM
mission a cute little kitten, which
would grow up to become SHIPS
cat. There would be a lovely cere-
mony, and you can just picture the
scene at every commisSioning-ole-
bosomed club woman wreathed IN
smiles and corsets, handing over 10
some bored and bewildered old sea
dog a berib, boned, beloved ana
eouallv bewilderCd kit. Whlle
flashbulbS pop.
Unofficial reaction at the
Maritime Commission is that
the ladies might substitute rab-
bits for kittens, because there
are going to he some 25oo COM
missionings i'm the next year
and half.
Mascots-even official ships cats
have passed from the scene on
most naval vessels, by the way
They always were a nuisance, ana
with the development of the water
tight bulkhead, the elimination oi
bilge. and increased sanitation, the
ship rat menace has just about di8-
appeared.
There will be no dollar-a-year
men running the new Smaller War
Plants Corporation, and that Is
perhaps the first victory for the
frequently expressed opinion OF the
Truman investigating committee,
that there should be no dollar a-year
men in government. The congress
sional theory is that executives
should sever all business connec-
tions when they come to work Tor
the government. and take salaries
at the government rate. which Is
usually a $4,000 per year tops.

DIVORCE MORE DIFFICULT

Jacksonville Regisperj
If you're tentatively thinking about
getting a divorce, maybe you'd better
wait until after the war Some of the
present regulations complicate matters
Take the case of one California woman
who wanted to get rid of her husband, and
did. But she liked the sugar ration for
family of two. Consequently, when she
went home to mother she took both cards.
He had to appeal to OPA, and we haven't
heard yet how he came out.
Or of another California man. He pro-
posed that the wife keep the four children
but leave him the family sugar. She
would not agree, whereupon he reported
to OPA that she was a sugar hoarder and
had a large stock hidden OPA searched,
but didn't find the cache.
Still another California husband, San
Franciscan, miffed over a divorce tangle,
tipped off the government to the fact
his wife had bought a typewriter after
the "freeze' order took effect. He proved
it by bringing in phOtOstatic copies OF
her diary OPA ordered her to turn
back the machine, and that didn't i'm
prove friendly relationships in that ex-
family. It left them frozen, too.
And when it gets down to tires, you
can just imagine!
So, you can see for yourself how diff
cult it all is these days.

s. Burton Heath
Writes:

Before Pearl Harbor, great ar
gument of Anglophobe anti inter
ventionists was that the British
dominions were holding back and
trying to force the United States
to carry the burden against the
Axis.
For one reason or other, the Ca
nadians and the Australians chose
deliberately not to answer such
iibes, at first. BY the time they be-
gan promulgating the record, much
harm had been done. Never, up to
now, has the Canadian case been
presented frankly and clearly.
Just for the record, it is worth
while examining a few facts about
the Canadian war effort. Australia
can be left to fend for helself. The
Aussies' fighting has provided
better answer to detractors than
any figures. So, too has the Cana
dians', but it has been less drama
tically publicized.
Canada already has half mill
lion men under arms, and is add
ing 10000 a month. Considering
differences in population, the Unit
ed States will need an army of six
millions, calling quarter OF a mil
lion into the services monthly, be-
fore we can criticize Canada.
Canada actually has expended
five billion dollars on the war Con-
sidering differences in national in
come, we shall have actually to
pay out eighty billions before we
shall equal Canada in financial
sacrifice.
Canada has multiplied her pre-
war airplane production by 12O'
She is making 1900 planes a year
We should have to turn out $1,000
aircraft a year to catch up with
Canada.
Canada has put 735OOO men and
women into war jobs. This is equl-
valent to 10 million American war
workers.
We have surpassed Canada in the
proportionate number OF persons
engaged in war production. Paul v.
McNutt, War Manpower Commits
sion chairman, announces that we
have 12,5OO,O0O thus employed. But
il must be remembered that this was
an industrial nation to begin with,

SHlPBUILDING
FAVORITISM

Maybe Andrew J. Higgins, New Orleans
shipbuilder VINO is an expert in mass pro-
duction, is all wrong about his charges
that the government revoked his con-
tract for 200 Liberty ships because gov
ernment officials are trying to protect
the monopoly of such firms as Bethle
hem We don't know. Evidently nobody
else, outside of the direct principals,
knows either.
Right or wrong, Higgins charges
should be Investigated down to the last
little bit of evidence. If Higgins is right.
the responsible public officials should
be banned forevermore from public en-.
ployment.
This is no time to protect any monop-
oily, nor to attempt to prevent postwar
competition This nation needs produc-
ton and it should not matter where that
production comes from. 1t is ships we
need Let's get them, however we can,
as fast as we can

A GRAND MAN SPEAKS
A SOUR PIECE

We were extremely disappointed in
Secretary of State Cordell HuIls speech
of Thursday night. 1t sounded like Vice
president Henry A. Wallace on Hulls
soundtrack.
Hull is a grand public official We had
all the faith in the world in him, and
still have. We believe that the whole
world will be a lot better off If they
give Hull free hand in shaping the
peace and the peacetime policies that
will follow this war.
We even agree with almost everything
Hull said Thursday night. There is no
vital point on which we disagree.
But, still. the speech struck a sour
note.
There had been too much buildup, for
one thing. President Roosevelt went out
of his way to express the thought that
every person in the civilized world should
hear the talk. The implication was that
there would be something everyone should
hear some big news, or some explanation
for the absence of anything but bad big
news.
Then. well-Hull said nothing that has
not been said a hundred times since Pearl
Harbor. and couple of hundred times
before that.
Perhaps v,'rc u1duly suspicious, but
1t seemed to us, as we llSteneQ, CndU lnlS
was just another effort to make the
American public forget about lot of
unpleasant things, such as the contin-
uing absence of a second front, the crltl-
cism over rubber administration the
charges of favoritism to big business IN
shipbuilding, the lack of any real United
Nations gains on the fighting fronts.
1t almost seemed that the adminiStra
ton was trying to hold up before us
dream of postwar Utopia so that we
would not notice the mistakes and mud
ding of today.
President Roosevelt himself gave ma
tional circulation to a phrase which has
become almost trite in its repetition-by
himself and others. 1t was, First things
first"
Hull-or the person who wrote Hulls
speech-ignored the demand for first
things first when he spent almost the
whole of a pre-announced "momentouS"
address talking about the glory of the
postwar world
We've got to win the war before we
can say what the worlds going to be like
afterwards So far. we've not been on
the winning end. We have not met our
problems either at home or on the fight
ing fronts, head-on. Before we can dream
UP a Utopia for later, we've got to do
that.
With all the faith we continue to have
in Mr. Hull, we're still not going to be
dreamed into forgetting that there's still
war to be won, and that it's going to
take action to win it.

while 25 years ago Canada had so
little industry that the govern
ment did not trouble to take an

We have far fewer than six mil

DOLLAR -A-YEAR

DOLLAR YEAR
But the SWPC ban docs not
mean that the War Production
Board is shifting away from the
dollar-a year theory. Latest check
shbwed ncarsy 600 dolfar-a-year
men in the War Production Board
setup, as against nearly 900 former
businessmen now drawing $500 a
wear or better in the way of gov
ernmental salary
Severance Of private bust
ness ties and acceptance of
regular government salary sell
dom removes the objection
which applies to dollar-a-year
men, however, for in many
cases the executives company
pays the difference between the
government salary and the old
private business salary. Ralph
X. Davies, for instance, gets
$4,000 a year from the govern
ment as deputy petroleum CO.
ordinator, but Standard Oil of
California still pays him $4,000
a year to make up his regular
$50, 900 "a year pay envelope.
Imagine Leon HenderSon's sur
prise at being labeled "antl-labor
by the unions, because of his stand
for wage control. In all his previous
government jobs, in NRA, in SEC,
in Temporary National Economic
Committee, Henderson was con-
sidered Labor's pal. Now they We
kicked him over. Henderson, by
the way, makes a great distinction
between wage freezing and wage
control He's against freezing, but
for control to the extent necessary
to prevent prices rises.
ANTS-AND SHIPS
Credit for the idea OF having
Latin American shipyards build lO0
wooden sailing vessels of less than
1000 tons each to carry billion
tons of cargo between Caribbean
ports goes to Unoer Secretary OF
Commerce Wayne Chatfield-Taylor,
but the sources of his idea makes
an amazing tale. He got his inSplra-
ton, of all places, in a modern
clipper plane while flying to Brazil.
Crossing the Caribbean, he noticed
MANY sailing vessels in coastal
trade. Next day, over Brazil, ne
noticed the mountains built leaf
and twig at a time by the famed
army ants of the pampas. III ants
can building towering stockpiles,
reasoned Mr.. Taylor, why could
Mt we build our own stockpiles by
moving ton after ton in sailing
ships" He sold the idea to Mel
son Rockefeller, and Uncle Jesse
,Jones's RFC kicked in with $40
million to finance the operation.

HOT WEATHER
INCREASES SCENT

Really, it's a serious mistake to
use heavily perfumed foundation
cream, rouge, and lipstick in diff
ferent scents. Especially in this hot
weather when they seem to steam
out. and become over -whelming to
others. No subtly lovely effect can
be created by using bath powder
in fragrance. perfume in another,
makeup in still another.
Gardenia may suit you perfectly
and be captivating in itself. but.
combined with jasmine, a mixed
bouquet, a spicy pine scent, an ex-
otic altar of amber -and-moonlight,
il Just won't do.
So, no matter how intrigued you
are by your perfume, don't apply 1t
lavishly for daytime, or for that
matter, for evening either. Perfume,
like rouge. is most effective when
used sparingly.
If you feel that your favorite
essence is too heavy or expensive
for daytime. consider buying toilet
water in matching odor. That way,
you get a great deal more for the
money that went into perfume, and
you don't have the worry about too
lavish fragrance.
Smart business women invariably
use toilet water or cologne during
the daytime, saving perfume for
after office hours.
