These aren't just smart slogans.
They are sincere expressions of the
spirit with which most American
workmen are responding to the pro-
duction crisis.
1t is easy to sit comfortably on
the SidelineS and cheer. PunS and
wise cracks sometimes are the re-
course of those who can't produce
But these and hundreds OF equally
apt catchphrases have come from
the hearts of men who, since June
of 1899, have helped to multiply our
war goods output almost II times
We used to grin Wryly at the
camouflage expression goods made
or on order" We knew that most OF
them were ION order" and pitt
fully few ready TO use against Hit
Ter.
Now munitions" the ALIEN

eouipment-are pouring out OF fac
tories at the rate of more thar
Sl4O 900 600 worth day-tWlce as
fast as when the Japs struck al
Pearl Harbor.
In June of 1899 only 224 mill
tary and commercial transport
planes were built in this country
Last May we produced almost 4OO'
and in June presumably more.
We are turning out artillery ane

THE LEGION CONVENTION

tNatSOnVllle heSlSler)
1t is safe to predict that never in its
history now rounding out quarter CEN
tury. has the American Legion had
public reception more enthusiastic than
10000 members will receive during the
five-day convention of the department
of California, which opens Saturday IN
Los Angeles.
There were times, in the carefree 2Os
and the discouraged, cynical '30's, when
the simple tenants of the American Leg
ion seemed to many people naive and
somewhat on of date, like the maXlms
in an old grammar school copy book:
While alien ismS were not only tolerated
but accepted as smart in ultra sOphisti-
Gated circles, while advanced" social
theorists spoke learnedly of the twilight
of traditional democracy and smiled in
tolerant derision at people who couldn't
understand modern" schemes for max
ing America over, the preamble to the
Legion constitution, FOR GOD AND
COUNTRY, may have sounded rather
old-fashioned.
Dee Holder, convention chairman, said
in iustifable pride last week: The rec
ord of those things for which the Amer
lean Legion has fought for "a years
the universal draft of total national man
power. resources and wealth, an ade-
quate defense that would nave been ade-
quate, our continuing fight against all
things un-American - has proven that
our organization cannot be second
guessed
Not alone their Southern California
hosts, but Californians to the farthest
border. will honor the American Legion
for wtat it stands for and has unceas-
ingly fought for as its graying members
gather for their first war time conven-
ton.

Editorials and Comment
Mr.. LEWIS AND
THE DAIRYMEN

christian Science Monitor)
Although Ohm l.. Lewis has captured
the powerful Dairy Farmers Union of
New York in his effort 10 organize the
Nations milk producers under the aegls
of the United Mine Workers, j. {.
Thompson, executive secretary oil the
Agricultural Council of New England,
announces that the dairy farmers of the
Northeast are definitely cool toward the
movement. Notwithstanding the fact that
the dairy unions strike in 1899 cut oil
New York CityS milk supply, Mr.
Thompson says that now the great ma
jority of farmers in the New York milk
shed are not interested in the proposed
affiliation.
The reported reaction of farmers may
be attributed to the relatively secure po-
sitiOn of agriculture in New York ana
New England and the type of men who
run the farms One move by the dairy
men was to organize Il new group called
Free Farmers, Inc The philosophy
behind this effective counter-drive is in
herent in the name. 1t expresses the po-
litical and economic beliefs OF the rug
ged individuals engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
Mr.. Lewis District so of the United
Mine Workers offers to act as the ouSl-
ness agent for farmers-to bargain on
prices and conditions of sale. Mr..
Thompson asks: What can Mr.. Lewis
and his men do for them that they can't
do for themselves through farmer-oWned
and farmer-controlled organizations
The dairy farmers, whose income has
been low despite increasing costs of their
product to the consumer, recognize that
Mr.. Lewis probably seeks more power
for himself, but many have told Gallup
pollers AID others that they are willing
even to affiliate with him and his miners,
if they can thus collect larger share OF
the consumers milk bill.
If Mr.. Lewis can = by linking farm
and factory workers-accomplish what
others have failed to do in the past, he
will prove himself the greatest organ
izer of all time But the evidence does
not at the moment appear to be pre-
nonderantlv in his favor

Writes:

Yet Donald Nelson, telling of

That is because, in our mad rush,
our factories have caught up with
the limited supply of raw materials
and, for practical purposes, we must
stop expanding just when the need
for expansion is most acute.
So let's not boast. Let's rather

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

A full scale modern war - the
Battle of Midway-nas at last been
filmed in Technicolor. 1t took a
HOLLYWOOD ace TO do it-John Ford
the man who directed Grapes of
Wrath" The Informer" and other
prize pictures. He is LIEUT.. Com.
John Ford now, having given up
his several -thousand-d -dollars-a-week
salary for the Navy pay of several
thousand dollars a year and the
right to wear a Uniform with gold
braid on it. But he has shown that
actual battle can be recorded as q
movie picture, and this Battle of
Midway film will probably be rated
as one of his greatest Dive bomb
ers race toward the earth and drop
their loads or are hit by the anti
aircraft guns and crash in flames.
Naval vessels get lll, SHellS, eA-
plode, men are wounded, killed. 1t
is real war, for civilian conSump-
ton.
Commander Ford is working out
at the Department of Agriculture
film laboratory, editing his film,
waiting for the Navy brass hats to
make up their minds as to how 1T
shall be released. The Navy both
does and does not want to sponor
it. If the Navy doesn't sponsor 1t,
maybe Office of War Information
or somebody else will, While the
bureaucrats wrangle the public is
being kept from what is probably
good propaganda medicine for do
mestic and foreign consumption.

QUITE A CONCESSION

The way Ford got this picture
makes an interesting story The
idea of putting Ford into the Navy
with Hollywood camera crew was
Ford's, but when he couldn't sell
it to the Navy, he sold it to Col.
William j. Donovan's old outfit, the
office of the Co-ordinator of In
formation.
With Donovan backing, Ford
was permitted to let his crew
be enlisted on the NaVai r.
serve. That was supposed to b
quite a concession, for many uf
the detail didn't know an an
chOr from a marlinspike, and
to give such people the rating
of chief petty officer was
against all the rules, and sup
pOsedly quite disrupting to
Navy morale. Also, the Navy
was against having people who
were just supposed 10 take pic
lures and do nothing else. What
the Navy wanted was people
who could also stand watch or
man a gun or maybe even swab
deck.
Finally all these objections were
overcome and the Ford crew was
mustered into service. Playing a
pure hunch, Commander Ford and
his men got permission to go to
Midway. When the JapS came over
in their big effort early in June
there were the cameramen on the
job to grind away.
In the three day battle the fancy
sailors from Hollywood stoo
around and took it. They were put
on land when the Jap bombers came
over, they rode in American planes
on bombing missions, they worked
or the landing decks OF the air
plane carriers and they shot
scenes from cruisers and battle
wagons. A couple of the cameras
actually were shot out of the hands
of the men operating them Com
mander Ford was Wounded-hit II
the shoulder by a flying fragment
OF conrete from an emplacemen'
struck by a Jap shell.
The picture is stark realism oi
war, but it is not without its Hol-
lywood touches of pathos, Whimsy
and sob stuff. When Ford and his
men got back to the United States
they dubbed in a sound track with
a staff o, announcers to heigther
the dramatic effect S,

LONDON. June 1.-THE Polish

1000 persons in mass raid on the
streets of Warsaw at noon yesterday.
A blackshirt detachment drew a

They asserted word also had been
received that IL women and three
men were hanged publicly in Poz-

hours to intimidate the populace.
They had been accused of distribut-
