NEW YORK, July 30.-Steef
is the bottleneck of bottlenecks
in our war production program
With a single exception
skilled manpower - there is no
major bottleneck which can not
be traced to steel.
Nevertheless, paradoXlcally,
experts in both Government ana
industry agree that we have am
ple steel capacity for all fore
seeable needs, and that this is
being utilized skillfully and Ell
ficiently.
STEEL SCARCITY
BOGS SHIPPING
There is a shipping bottleneck.
Because of it we do not have
enough capacity to bring In the
raw materials we need. Badly
needed implements of war are
Milling up at factories, for lack
of vessels to carry them overseas.
We're rationed on sugar, we re
going to be rationed on coffee
and tea. for lack of carrying
space to bring them in.
We can't invade Europe right
away, because we do not have
enough craft to transport the
necessary armies and service
them in action. The Axis is sink
ing ships faster than we can
build them.
Why? Steel.
The eastern seaboard, with
about half of the nations popu-
lation, is strictly rationed on ga
soline. although midwestern and
southwestern petroleum wells
could produce-and existing ia
cilities could refine-more gas
oline than we and our allies can
possibly use.
Why? Lack of enough tanker
ships, tank cars, locomotives TO
haul tank cars, pipelines, barges
and tugboats to pull barges.
Again. why? Steel.
STEEL is NEEDED
TO MAKE RUBBER
We are fighting against col
lapse of our productive economy
when our tires are used up, now
that Japan has seized the sources
of raw rubber. Scientists know
how to make synthetic .dbber
that is at least as good, for tires,
as the natural gum. It's a bit ex-
pensive yet, but mass production
would lower the cost. And any
way. hang expense, if it's need
ed for the war.
We have abundant petroleum
and alcohol-producing grains,
plus the know-how, plus an en-
ergent nced-but we can't have
rubber.
Why? Steel.
Go down the line, pick out
any bottleneck you please, and
you can trace it back to steel.
Why. then, don't we build
more plants and make the steel
we need?
ignoring the time element, the
answer once more is-steel.
We don't have the steel to
build the plants with which to
make the steel we need. That is,
unless we ask Hitler and Hiro-
hito to please roll marbles while
we divert steel from shipping,
shells, guns, planes, tanks, ETC.,
with which TO make steel.
and use it TO construct plants
Now, that picture looks bad.
In a sense, perhaps, it looks
phony. Particularly since this
nation alone has steel capacity
half again as great as that of
Germany, her allies. her puppets
and he.' enslaved victims all to-
gethcr.
BY the en-, of 1912 we shall
have the plants with which to
make 100000 tons of steel in
COTS a year. During this year we
actually are producing 85.00O,-
900 tons. In her six years of pre-
paration for this war. from le22
through 1898, Germany used for
all purposes. military and civil,
only three million more than we
4 shall produce this year alone.

Tanner Calls
u. S. Output
Victory Key
BY C. w. FOWLER

Boston, Nov. 8 - American pro-
duction plus an offensive against
Nazi Germany are the decisive fact
ors that will win the war In the
quickest possible time. Jack Tan
ner, president of the Amalgamated
Engineering Union of Britain said
today.
Tanner, who attended the CLIO
Executive Board meeting here on a
personal basis. before the conven-
ton, told Of his trip to such Ameri-
can war production centers as De-
troit and his observations on
Americas war effort.
U. 8. OUTPUT VITAL
American war production will
be a decisive factor in winning the
war;" he said. II say will be ad-
visedly, because American produc-
ton Is not yet up to the maximum
1t can and will reach.
american workers are not yet
working at the speed Of British
war workers. This Is no refiec-
ton on American workers, who
know the issues In this war as
well as any others. It simply
stems from the fact that British
workers are nearer to the war,
have had a better chance to real
ize Just what this war means to
them"
Asked about the work Of the
"Shop Stewards Council" in Britain,
which does the same job on pro.
duction that our labor-management
committee does here, Tanner re-
piled to the effect that they were
the backbone Of speeding the war
production drive in England.
The council Is not an official body.
he explained. and Is not recognized
formally by the Trades Union Con-
gress, but its work is widely effec-
tive throughout the basic munitions
industries in Britain.
BRITISH WOULD APPROVE
"Direct affiliation of the CLIO to
the Anglo-Soviet trade union COM
mittee, II 1t were to be proposed,
would meet with the hearty ap-
prevail of the British workers" he
said. "Our people feel that 1t is
absolutely necessary to have the
CLIO fully represented in every in
ternational unity move that Is made.
"The CLIO II q major section of
the American labor movement.
As such 1t must be represented

world labor cooperation"

first time last April. the program is
now broadcast Sunday afternoons
at lis p. m. EWT to a large list
OF stations throughout the country.
Designed to inform the public Of
labor's war efforts in the most en-
PERTAINING and dramatic manner
possible. speeches have been kept
to a minimum on the Clio pro-

The CLIO presidents report noted
that radio speeches have been
booked for special programs where
the organizations voice on matters
of legislative interest or on the
broader issues Of the war have been
brought TO millions of homes.
LAUDS THE CLIO NEWS
"The national weekly paper Of

During the year The CLIO NEWS

Allied Labor News, and devoted
greater relative space TO govern

American workers.
THE Importance of all union
councils and locals giving their full
support to The CLIO NEWS cannot
be too strongly urged" Murray's
report said. 1.-THE CLIO NEWS does
not duplicate or compete with other
