Kiepuro, Tenor, Declares Nozi
Soldiers Have Lost Morale

Jan Kiepura, Polish tenor, sched-
uled to sing tomorrow afternoon at
Constitution Hall, stepped out of
his role Of singer yesterday to ven
ture few predictions on the inter-
national situation.
Mr.. Kiepura points to his IL years
Of singing in Europe. including four
years In Germany. as proof OF his
familiarity with everyday life and
the morale of people there. In ad-
dition, he said, his work as a benefit
singer qualities him to invade the
field Of politics. Fifty per cent Of
his concerts are given for relief Or
ganizations. In 81 concerts given
for English, Polish and Jewish relief
in the last year and a half, Mr..
Kiepura crossed $10a 900.
So, he declares, his prediction
that no combination of nations can
stand against Americans at war
should carry some weight. Living
with people from day to day, he
said, provides the only adequate
background for judging their morale
and stamina. He thinks Americans
have the stamina, but Germany does
not.

La Toilette Proposes
Civilian Production
For Small Business
Urges U. S. Corporation
To Protect Firms Not
In War Manufacture
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclated Press.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
Of Wisconsin proposed today that
the Government arbitrarily assign
to small business concerns the major
share of necessary wartime civilian
production to Offset. in part, their
lack Of military supply contracts.
Charging that big business was
"intrenched" In the w. p. B., Sen
ator La Toilette told reporters he
was satisfied that some representa-
tives of large firms there were tax
ing advantage Of conditions to
"liquidate" competition.
Thousands of small businesses in
America are being strangled to
death by Government red tape and
maladministration," he declared.
Despite all Of the eloquent lip serv-
ice and the rapid succession Of de-
funct programs on the part Of the
Government, the average small busi-
nessman confronts desperate sit
uation."
This was emphasized, Senator La
Toilette said, by the fact that up to
last month only 8,238 manufactur-
ing concerns out of $4,000 in the
country held prime war contracts Of
$4,000 or more. He added that
while some progress was being made
in subcontracting, only 80 contracts
had been made up to that time with
industrial pools into which small
firms had entered
The result, he contended, was that
big business was acquiring with
Government aid vast new plant
facilities which 1t would be able to
convert to civilian production after
the war.
Senator La Toilette said he hoped
headway also could be made toward
bringing these firms into the mill
tary production program through a
smaller war plants corporation
which would finance the conversion
of small plants and their participa-
ton a. subcontractors.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
predicted the Senate Banking Com
mittee would approve a measure
next week creating such a corpora
ton in form giving the War Pro-
duction Board general supervision
over its operations. Secretary of
Commerce Jones has asked the COM
mittee to amend the measure, how
ever. to link the corporation to the
r. F. G.
Undersecretary of War Patterson
told the committee yesterday that
the War and Navy Departments ex-
pected soon to be in position to
guarantee R. F. c. loans that might
be made to subcontractors to pro-
vide them with necessary working
capital.
Because of this, Mr.. Patterson
said, he saw little need Of creating
a new corporation.

Priest|ey Heads Liberals
Protesting Press Threat
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 21.-A commit
tee Of Liberals headed by J. B.
Priestley, author, issued statement
today opposing "unjustified suppress
sive action" in reference to Home
Secretary Herbert S. Morrison's s
threat to suspend publication of the
tabloid Daily Mirror on the ground
that its attacks on the government
jeopardize the Empires war effort.
There may be many people who
do not like the Daily Mirror as q
newspaper" the statement said, "or
who feel that sometimes its language
has been too strong, too sweeping
and perhaps even little ire
sponsible.
I'm spite Of such feelings It Is
absolutely essential that a strong
stand shall be taken on this uues-
tion OF freedom of criticism in gen.
eral and of the press in particular.
That stand must be taken now"
The committee proposed that in
stead of suppression, the govern
ment "be given power to compel
any newspaper to print with promi-
nence equal to that of the Offend
ing passage actual facts on any
subject which has been misrepre-
sented in such a way as might be

have drawn . parallel between the

decreed in France during the ad-

clared that such . parallel was
