Rubber Czor Says Production Slowed
By Army and Navy War Plant Experts

bring these boys back to country
that is functioning and that isn't as
fiat as founder.
Let's get little more practical
thinking in to what the problem is,
To me 1t is perfectly simple. ap-
preciate that the theater of war
changes from day to day. l am not
unmindful of the fact that we need
more high octane gas now than we
did even a month ago, and because
of the underseas raiders we need
more escort vessels, but my point is
we can carry all of these programs
along.
We can build rubber plants. We
can do the Job that is needed to be
done on high octane gas; we can
give the Navy the escort vessels if
we will get the production in this
country to point where it ought
to be. That doesn't mean more men
in the plants; it means more pro-
duction in these plants and it means
less interference in these plants.
AS l have been looking at this
PAShbAN \ OtiS Va Viz IIilIlkS Jlldb dp-
peals to me most is our failure to
get what I could call even adequate
production. We have too many So
called expediters in these big plants,
Army and Navy men, commissioned
officers. One day it is the Navy;
they come into plant and they
order people about The next day
it is the Army and seemingly 1t is
battle as between how many stars
or how many bars is the most i'm
portant
l know something about produc-
ton; know something about OPP
Grating plants. If we can keep the
Army and Navy and these loafers
out of these plants, let these men
who are in charge OF these plants
run them, have somebody tell them
what is first and mean what he
says. we will get the production out
OF the plants; we will keep this
country on rubber and II we don't
do 1t we won't need the men on the
farms.
