In Full Stride

American industry at last appears TO
have struck its full stride in war produc-
ton. The job that has been done ever
since Pearl Harbor mas been amazingly
good. Now it has become superlative.
This obviously is true as to volume con-
Sidering Donald Nelson's disclosure that
in November the overall munitions and
armament index had climbed to 665 per
cent as compared with November, 1941.
1t is true also as to quality, which per-
haps is at least equally important.
In the beginning we had to manufac-
ture from whatever plans were available,
IN order to get some weapons with which
the threat of quick Axis victory might be
repealed. It can be admitted now that
many of the items were distinctly in
ferior. 1t is to the credit of our industry
that, while multiplying it's volume of out
put almost seven times, it has managed
to shift to always better weapons, so that
now, in many fields, American materiel
is the best in the world.
Peter Masefeld, British aviation expert
who used to be very critical of our planes,
now rates the Consolidated Liberator as
best in two classifications; the North
American Mustang in two; the Lockheed
anu GIlS QCpl1Ul4C
Thunderbolt, the North American Nit
chell the Curtiss Helldiver and Com
mando, the Grammar Avenger and He'll
cat, the Douglas Skymaster, the Boeing
Clipper and the Chance Vought VS-43B
each in one category. That is to say, this
BritiSher now feels that in two out of
every three classes, American planes are
the best in the world. That is high praise.
Nor is it confined to planes. In numerous
other felds-tanks, for example we
are producing the best there is. Ameri-
cans have stepped up the fire power of
Flying FortreSseS until they are the
beSt-protected planes in the world, and
mounting IS millimeter cannon, more
powerful than the World War field piece,
in planes.
You read about the Nazis' terrible
rocket weapon which was majOr threat to
Allied ships. Now you don't hear about it
any more. Why? American inventive
ness - story to be told some day, when
the Germans can't profit from it. There
was little while when we could pride
ourselves upon the volume of our mass
production, but couldn't boast much
about Yankee ingenuity in providing an
outlet for production lines. Now, once
again, we can hold up our heads in proud
belief that if there is an answer, Ameri-
can research will find it; if there isn't an
answer, American inventiveneSS will
make one.

What About Generalization?

The belief that has swept over our coun-
try that the war in Europe will soon come
to an end is supported by historic facts
connected with the sudden collapse of
Germany in 1913. But it is not fair to
stamp that opinion "as a state of COM
placency." Observed from a viewpoint OF
almost daily news it is fair to report that
the victories of the military forces of the
United Nations over the Germans indi-
cate the final collapse of Hitlerism in the
not very distant future. At the same
time the indications are that the war in
Asia may continue indefinitely after the
European collapse.
It is certain that the United States
military forces are not "unduly optimis-
tic" But it is from that source that the
public at large has absorbed the opinion
that it is time for the United States to
get busy with plans for peace-time mobil-
cation inside our own country.
The greatest of all detectives ahead is
that Of making certain that there will be
"jobs for those who are willing to ex-
change their time and talents for proper
sage" according to one of our ablest.

NO PLEASURE RIDING

Frequently the ODT, whose pur-

increase of is per cent in 1914 over
the 1943 traffic load. Some unnamed
authority in the ODT was reported
to have expressed belief that one
fifth of rail travel and a third of
the bus travel this year was unnec-
essary." AS there have been no
questionnaires covering the jour-
neyings Of any considerable part of
the public, the grounds for the be

fic is unnecessary" must be in
some publicist's imagination.
The OPA learned that the Amer

bureaucratic determination of what

the A card holders their so-called
pleasure driving was essential. The

more gasoline, it will reduce the
value of the gasoline ration cou-

public.
Persons riding on trains and
BUSES are going somewhere because
it is important, to them, that they

their travelling. If there is a grow

gines and coal, the greater incon-
venience of train travel win keep

there is no pleasure in standing toe
hours in one of those swaying, over
heated or too-cold vehicles. Those
who ride in them do SO because
they regard the trip as necessary
The ODT would do well to govern
its beliefs accordingly.

A Thought for Today
Human Dignity and Moral
Responsibility

Among the many Christmas messages
that were delivered over the momentous
weekend none was more definite and i'm
pressive than that of His Holiness, Pope
Plus XII, in his Christmas message to
the world.
HIS solemn words were clearly thought
out, and no phrase uttered that was not of
the greatest import during these trouble
some times. Each statement weighed and
measured, proclaimed the moral deca-
dence" of the day and the material up
neaVal in every corner of the world
He emphasized the need of "all Chris
tians taking comfort from their faith.
He sympathized with those who have had
sorrow thrust on them; he deplored the
conduct that breeds war such as is now
ranging; and he expressed hope for new
world peace order based on human dig
nifty and moral responsibility"
His eminence said "there never has
been a true peace in history unless it was
based on justice and equality" More
power and wealth for some nations than
others will not bring about the right
peace, he said. In solemn tones he
prayed that this would be our last war
Christmas.
Only Christ can alleviate the tortures
OF humanity -" These are only few
phrases culled from the inspiring words
spoken by the Pontiff and heard in every
corner of the world. And in the days to
come IT we have peace based on human
dignity and moral responsibility we may
be assured we are headed for the entering
upon such peace.

A Fraud

One phase of the Wagner-Murray Bill
now before Congress, to broaden the
Social Security Act, Of which not too
much is said by its supporters, is cost of
the proposal. The old fallacy has been
encouraged that a magnanimous gov
eminent stands ready to "give" some
thing to the people once the measure is
passed. Provisions for medical and hos
pital care contained in the bill are heavily
stressed with the inference that they too
will be free
Such high pressure sales tactics are
fraudulent. The government will never
give anything away because it can give
nothing until it first takes it from the
people. If the Wagner Bill is made into
law, the government will begin immedi-
ately to collect additional billions of dol
lars in taxes to pay for the benefits it
will later hand out. AS doctor recently
told patient: eff you earn 5000 a
month, your social security bill will be
$1,000 a month, six times more than is
now taken out of your pay check - or
$144 year. Your employer will pay a
like amount, which means that your
bread, your car, your refrigerator, and
everything else you buy would have more
hidden taxes wrapped up in it. :. If you
are self-employed, you deduct seven per
cent. :"
Every time deduction is made from
the salaries and wages Of the people and
turned over to government, the power of
the government over the people grows
accordingly. During wartime the people
accept necessarily high deductions, to-
gether with unprecedented official DOM
nation over their personal affairs, with
out murmur. This should not be taken
as any indication that they will tolerate
a permanent halter on freedom in peace
time, even in the form of the Wagner
Bill.

SAVE THE WRAPPERS.
New York Sum


The post Christmas cleanup of
packing and paper is sufficient in
almost every household to fill a large
carton, and in other years much of
this holiday wrapping has been
burned in apartment house incinera-
tors or suburban backyards. The
New York City Newspaper Waste
Paper Salvage committee today re-
minds the public that cardboard and
paper used for gift parcels should be
put aside, and next week bundled
up for salvage. The committee cites
substantial savings in paper report
ed by department stores in the city.
Obviously most of whatever the
householders can salvage over the
next week end and hold for collec-
ton will, when assembled in salvage
stations. make many a mountain of
raw material for production of paper
needed for military supplies. A
considerable waste that formerly
marked the holiday season can now
be converted to an essential econ
omy.
