1t is true the single-headcd board
functions better than those where au-
thority was divided, 1t is true, too,
that planes, tanks, etc, are being
turned out in ever-increasing quanti-
ties. But that is because to a great
extent contracts have been awarded
and production is in the hands of the
factories. Industry, SO far as it is not
restricted by shortages of raw mate
rails and labor troubles, is concededly
doing a good Job. In the matter Of
supplying, through priorities and de-
velopmcnt, the raw materials, which
is Mr. Nelson's real job, he has per
formed no miraclcs-and will per-
form none.

Adding all these things up, it is
not surprising that there should be
throughout the country lack Of con-
fidcncc in the unselfishness as well as
in the competency Of the men who are
managing our war effort. 1t is not
surprising that the trenchant crit
icisms of such men as Byrd, Norris,
Tydings. Willkie. Taft and others
whose patriotism is unquestioned and
whose desire to win the war is as
great as Mr. Rooscvclt'S own, should
be disturbing.
But, without their kind of criticism,
things will get worse, not better.
Without their kind of criticism We
may lose this war instead of winning
it. Because there is nothing else to Jar
Administration authorities out of
their complacency nor to check up
upon incompetcncy. 1t is absurd to
expect the people as a whole to be
militant and united while such things
go on at the capital. 1t is absurd to
talk about discipline in the country
when the Administration own house
is in such wild disorder and waste
runs riot. 1t is impossible to build
civilian morale in the face of such an
exhibition. AS Senator Byrd says,
"Thc first battle we have to win is
the battle of Washington"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-02-19

That is an opinion widely held not
only outside the Administration but
inside, where, however, it has to be
voiced privately When, after twenty
two months Mr. Roosevelt finally
yielded to pressure and, delegating
authority to Mr., Nelson, established
the single-headed production board
which should have been named in the
first place, there was wave of
optimism in the country. A feeling
arose that at last confusion was to
be ended and competency installed.
That feeling has been only slightly
justified.

The Battle of Washington

Washington, Feb a.
Things are not going well in Wash
ington and there is no use pretending
they are. Silence about the situation
is not in the national interest; it is
against the national interest. Compla-
ccncy about the operations of the war
organization is sheer stupidity. No
informed man is complacent; every
posted person is deeply concerned.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-02-19

The best Judgment about Mr.. Nell
son is that he is pretty good" He
isn't another Baruch. And he isn't
human dynamo. except in the press
releases and his publicity department
written speeches. pretty good" Just
about describes him. Nevertheless,
"prctty good" is above average here
for key men and it isn't the fact that
Mr.. Nelson is no superman upon
which worry is based Nor is it alto
gethcr the unsavory mess of the OCD.
Perhaps, if Mrs. Roosevelt does not
ingor too long, this organization can
be cleaned up. and the boondoggling,
uplifting absurditics which now
characterize it removed. So long as
she stays her pretty pets will cluster
around her and there is no chance of
real reorganization, Even when the
departure of the lady relieves Mr.,
Lands of his chief embarrassment, it
is uncertain that he will do the sort
of house cleaning called for. His in
sistencc upon the merit of his NOV
ing-picturc glamor boy is not alto
gcthcr rcaSSurlng.
