Australia remains a thorn in the
flank of the Jap force, Chilean
army and navy men are measur-

The Chilean Navy, while COM

patrol boats and air force to keep
constant vigil over the coast line.
This country's reassurances to
Chile that the Japanese are
too busy now in Burma and the
Southwest Pacific to extend fur

The large number Of Nazi propa-

Aside from the breath-taking ma
ture Of the manufactured product,
the spectacle Of so vast a number
of men and women working at full
speed in a single plant. under a
single directing head and with a
single purpose in mind, is extraor-
dinarily impressive. They work
without lost motion or lost time.
Nowhere In this immense acreage
Is there duplication or overlapping.

No Friction or Foolishness.
Several things strike those given
the chance to view such a plant In
detail as well as to see the whole
picture. One Is that to organize
and run so vast an establishment
there must be brains pretty close to
genius at the top. The contrast be-
tween the smooth efficiency with
which the system works is particu-
larly impressive to one accustomed
to the indescribable confusion Of
governmental Washington. Another
is the cooperative spirit which
seems to animate the working men
and women. too. Another is that
the women are paid the same wages
as the men for comparable work.
Nor Is there any segregation Of the
sexes. That was tried but aban-
doned. Now men and women work
side by side without friction or

Opposition at the Top.
Even with the 40-hour week. what
is being accomplished commands
respect, though it checks far short
Of what could be done II the rigid
ity Of tn elabor laws on this one
point were relaxed. The interest
ing thing Is that there is no real
opposition to the relaxation from
the rank and file Of labor. The op-
position comes from the labor lead
ers. not from the men. just as the
demand for the Murray -Hillman
plan for labor participation in man
agement comes not from the men
but from tho high-salaried lobby
lists.
II 1t were not for the support
