Said Coffee: HE dodge is one

callK ahqFink the qivilian tfayel HsrI
izon, add to the difficulties which
surround civilian shipping. Trans
portation, in a sense, is the key to
victory-or rather. one of the many
keys with which we must unlock
many doors before we win this
war. Production, mass assembly
line production, is really a matter
OF distribution--a matter of get
ting material to processing plants,
thence to fabricating factories,
eventually to the point of final as
sembly. and ultimately to where it
is needed on the fighting fronts.
The only way in which, we can de-
pend on our transportation sys-
tens, local and Slong haul. to do
their job is BY cutting civilian de-
mands on these systems to the
barest possible minimum. And that
is what we are doing. 20

4 1t now develops that the "let-

they were merely letters "author-
izing" him to submit plans, etc., and
signed with rubber stamp sigma

announced that such letters would
