OVER-MANNED
WAR PLANTS?

WHEREVER YOU FIND large
war industries operating, you hear
tales Of over-manned plants, or too
many people to work efficiently, de-
spite the cry of manpower shortage.
One ship-building contractor Is SAID
to have been asked how many peo-
pie he had working in his shipyards.
about one-haE of those on the
payroll" he is said to have replied.
If that shipyard is working for the
government on a cost plus basis,
the contractor is directly robbing
the American people in a large way,
but with only small profit to HIM
self, as the government takes from
him in taxes the greater portion or
his ill-gotten profits. The greatest
evil he accomplishes is to reduce
our meager margin Of manpower
and to pour the taxpayers money
into hands all too anxious to spend
It, and so augment the danger OF
imitation.
If these things are true, his sins
will find him out in time and he Will
pay, but it will be too late to help
the taxpayer.
Workers tell US they are forced by
labor union officials to slow down IN
their war production efforts. If that
is true, those labor union officials
are saboteurs, of the worst kind. If
1t is true, they are deliberately hold
ing up production of war equipment
needed by our own and our Allied
armed forces IN order to collect
more money for dues and member
ship fees from war production work
ers. They, too, will pay IN time,
but too late to save the lives of
many Americans on the battle lines.
Why not find out if these many,
many tales of sabotage on the part
of both contractors and labor are
true? Why not put honest, qualified
Investigators into these war produc-
ton plants to gather such evidence
as may exist, if any, and bring the
saboteurs to justice?
If these things are true-and
where there is so much smoke, there
must be some fre-the time will
come when the facts will be known.
If true, the stink the revelation will
create will pollute the air of all
America. The regulations of those
national leaders who permitted such
conditions will be so smirched that
they will go down in history as Bene-
dict Arnolds. Waiting for a politi-
caIly opportune time to make such
an investigation, to divulge such
facts as an investigation might de-
velop, would make of those RESPONSE
bic for delay as guilty as those re-
sponsible for the condition.
It is job for congress to do NOW,
with every effort directed to finding
the facts so the evils, if they exist,
may be stopped and the guilty pun
ished, or if those evils do not exist,
so the American people may know
the stories are soft.
A good place to start is to ascer-
tain on what basis contracts for war
equipment are placed.

HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT
A SUPERINTENDENT

AFTER WORLD WAR I, the
American congress would not ap-
prove of our participation in the
League of Nations, considering it
very much as a super government
that might involve us IN difficulties
with which we had no concern.
What would be the attitude of
the American people today on our
participation in a super worldwide
government that could dictate our
foreign policy and our relationship
to other nations?
Some Americans would say ''No"
to such a proposition, but it is evil
dent that public opinion has changed
and is changing. When that ques-
ton was included on a ballot in
Massachusetts, 2O2, 5O3 voted for our
participation and only 81, 691 against
it. And that in the state of Henry
Cabot Lodge, the arch enemy of
President Wilson'S League of Ma
tons.
We are not as sure of our security
now as we were Is years ago. The
airplane has reduced both the At
Iantic and Pacific to mill ponds. In
many ways the next peace confer
ence will present a new problem, at
least so far as America is con-
cerned, in the matter of preserving
world peace. It may be cheaper to
help do the preserving than to help
do the fighting after the other fell
low has started row.
What might have happened had
America been a member of the
League of Nations can only be sur
missed. We might have made it
work. Personally, my guess is we
would have done that. We do know
now that some of the people of Eu-
rope viii not keep the peace unless
they are forced to do so, and for
our own protection it is probably
our job to lead in seeing that they
do not start another war.

REVISE WA6Sd1f fLANS
Due in part to the fact that the
U. S. navy had not had opportunity
to profit from the experience of en-
gaging in any major naval battles
between 1872 and 1912, some of our
biggest and fastest ships now under
construction are being revised.
The main factor being changed
in the blueprints is extra precau-
ton against fire.
This is the lesson learned from
the aircraft carriers Wasp and Lex
ington, and the cruiser Boise, all
swept by fire after the direct dam
age of battle.
Since then the bureau of ships
has made a study of fire hazards,
finding that even an all-steel vessel
can be swept by fire when tremen-
dous heat is engendered, as from ex-
ploding shells and burning oil and
gasoline.
New plans call for elimination Of
linoleum flooring, substitution of
spun glass for cork in insulation, de-
crease in paint, and elimination Of
interior woodwork. Also, there will
be larger fire hose and better fire
fighting equipment generally.
Navy hopes to put an end to the
grief of losing ships by fire after
they have survived the battle.
Note: In the War of 1872, fire was
a real hazard to wooden ships. But
in the Civil war the only real en-
gagement was between the Monitor
and Merrimac which were not much
bigger than modern escort vessels.
In the Spanish-American war, there
were no real naval battles and only
one life was lost at Santiago, when
an American sailor fell down a hatch
on the Texas. In the World war, the
U. S. navy got in too late to partici-
pate in any naval activities other
than convoy work.
