GOALS REPLACED

AHc IldSltT pIOuuCtlOn plans
would replace the goals announced
) by President Roosevelt in January
That does not mean a reduction
in these goals. which called fol
$4,000 planes, $4,000 tanks. 10000
anti-aircraft guns and 8,0000 0C
tons OF merchant shipping in 1912
In fact, they already are being
revised upward in some respects
such as in merchant shipping.
Neither Is il contemplated that
Donald M. Nelson. war production
chief. should be replaced. or that
there should be any drastic shake
up In personnel.
The idea simply Is this: To bring
about better coordination of
war production, three master pro-
duction plans, for example, would
be drawn up. They would be
called Plans A. B and c.
Plan A would represent what
could be accomplished with ma
terials already available. includ-
ing those released by curtailment
Of civilian production. Plan B
would outline production that
would be possible IL certain bottle
necks were removed, material
shortages remedied by expanded
output. and the like. Plan c would
comprise the production goals 10
be sought after Plan B had been
attained.
In each Of these plans, produc-
ton OF one kind of arm would
have definite relationship 10 out
put Of another kind of arm. That
is. Plan A. which would be the
basic plan. would call for so many
planes, ships, tanks, etc, OF par
ticular types, within a given time.
This might be on a month by
month basis.
RATIOS ESTABLISHED
In Plans B and c. which would
a IL for substantially expanded
production. there still would be a
definite ratio between the number
OF planes and the number of ships.
tanks and other weekons.
Essentially, the proposal would
entail a better organization and
distribution of materials than that
which now prevails under the
present combined priorities and
ALLEGATIONS system. There is wide
spread belief that the prioritieS
system should be junked, and an
outright ALLEGATIONS plan substi-
tuted.
First. however, II is necessary

the unprecedented money volume

ships. tanks and guns of particular
types and sizes.
Then orders must be placed for
individual items.
In other words, the American
and Allied top commands must
first decide what they need and
then give manufacturers exact
specifications.
And in order to get what they
want at the time they want II, the
flow OF materials and the use OF
machines must be well organized
and co-ordinated.

ton Is the development. in its

WASHIN GTON, April /
(INS).-A complete overhauline
Of the war production program
with arms output keyed to a Sc
ries Of master production plans
each calling for more production
than the last. was being advocated
tonight In official quarters.
The central purpose of the new
proposal Is to achieve a balanced
arms production organized in such
a way that a specific number OF
planes, ships, tanks and guns of
particular types will be made
within given time.
Other objects are TO speed up
and increase production through
better teamwork, and to conserve

1t in this great land may not be per-
feet but 1t still stands as the greatest
civilization ever enjoyed by man."
Mr.. Reynolds said America
should pay high tribute to the rare
courage and foresight of President
Roosevelt, who, against opposition,
caused to be built mammoth power

out which we could not have met in

PROGRESS MUST NOT STOP

By supporting a bill to broaden and
liberalize the Social Security Act, the
American Federation of Labor has
served notice that it means what il
says when it declares that social prog
ress must not stop, even though the
nation is engaged in a great war.
The bill, introduced by Represent
ative Eliot of Massachusetts, will i'm
prove the social security program inn
mensely and thereby strengthen the
nation for the trials that lie ahead of
it. The bill is big step in advance,
as anyone can see by reading its pro-
visions.
In endorsing the bill, the American
Federation of Labor takes direct issue
with those reactionary persons and
interests who are taking advantage
of the war emergency to fight further
labor and social gains. Life, one of
the most profitable magazines in the
United States, is one of these. In a
hysterical editorial, Life said the big
job confronting the nation "is chal-
lenge, because in order to fight this
war we must deliberately wreck our
standards of living, forego our social
gains, forget our peacetime ambi-
tions"
Labor believes that this nation has
the resources, human and material,
to continue degree Of progress, war
or no war. 1t is squarely opposed to
the view expressed by Life. Social
progress, it is confident, will continue,
though limited by wartime exigencies.

delay the munitions that are required

that is the epitome in power and ma
chinery in mass killing.
A house on fire is trifing, insig-
nifcant thing, compared to this war.
But EVERYBODY rushes to help
put out a fire.
What we have today is not a house
on fire. 1t is a WORLD on fire and
unless WE put out the fire we have
NO house in which to live. We have
then only slave pens in which to exist
fitfully, in shame, in misery and in
a humiliation that would be worse
than death.
1t is said of a lieutenant in that
other World War that he led his men
forth with the wonderfully inspiring
and effective cry, "Come on you So
and sos, do you want to live forever!"
They came forth and they got where
they started to go.
We don't yet seem to feel that here
is the top crisis that stands atop all
history up to this point.
We have got to feel holy wrath
at the barbaric hordes that challenge
all things for which we care. We have
got to be mad as hell and pour our
flaming souls into the winning of this
war. We face something which we

FACING
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Five million tons of scrap must be
collected before the snow flies to keep
our steel mills going at capacity so
that American boys, on their way to
the battlefronts, will not be short of
war equipment.
The shortage Of steel already is
putting serious dent into our war
production program. Mills and ship
yards in many parts of the country
have been forced to shut down, thus
throwing thousands out of work. This
shortage will be aggravated unless
the supply of scrap iron that goes into
the making of steel is promptly aug
mented. The steel mills have on hand
now only two weeks supply of scrap
That is why the government again
appeals to every American to search
his cellar and attic and garage for
discarded and outworn metal objects
that can be added to the nations scrap
piles. The need is urgent. Do it now!
Collect all the scrap you can and take
it to the neighborhood gasoline sta
tion or public garage.
The government does not ask you
for tools or appliances that you need
or can still use. 1t wants only your
idle and rusting metal. Surely this
isn't too much to ask!
The scrap iron going to rust in your
cellar or attic is vitally needed by your
government now. 1t may help spread
the day of victory. So let's all of us
