WASHINGTON, July 16.-Donald
Nelson of the War Production
Board urged American business to
throw the weight into war message
advertising in an effort to shake off
the production slump caused in
part by false and dangerously pre-
mature feelings that the war is in
the bag"
Nelson, participating with other
high officials in broadcast launch

ad," disclosed June war production
missed the six and a half billion
goal by a half billion. The goal
wasn't reached in May, either

but that output is not rising fast
enough to meet the steady rise of

Elmer Davis, owl head, declared

pected to grow swifter and heav-
Ter, which means we shall have to
expend larger and larger amounts
OF materials and suffer heavier
casualties"

New Regulation Means, in
Effect, Rafioning
for Alaska

SEATTLE, July l6. - Seattle
Chamber of Commerce president,
d. x. Mcdonald, protested to Wash
ington new OPA order which, in
effect, would mean rationing for
Alaska by requiring manufacturers
TO deduct from their monthly quo
tas rationed items which they ex-
port to Alaska.
I'VE had been previously assured
there would be no rationing for the
Territory because of transportation
and other existing conditions" he
said. IF they attempt to apply any
sort of food rationing on monthly
quotas they'll be hopelessly balled
up" Mcdonald added.
He said he believes the order was
made with foreign markets only in
mind and like the recent War Pro-
duction Board order included AL
aska, through faulty wording in
the latter case.
The WPB, on the Chambers pro-
test, agreed TO rescind the order
which required shippers sending bur-
lap and other textiles to Alaska
to wire or write the WPB for au-
thcrity.

The W aShinqton
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
tMajor Robert q. Allen on active duty)

Neutrality-suspicious. his II
years in Congress, veteran Repre-
sentative Jed johnson of Oklahoma
has made a practice OF calling on
the incumbent President at the end
of each session for a chat on legis-
lative matters. A significant thing
about these visits is that Johnson
usually found the chief executive
in an unhappy mood about Con-
gress.
Coolidge always was glum and
critical. He said he got no COOP
Grafton from the legislators. And
when johnson called on Hoover in
early 1888, after his defeat, Hoover
unleashed a ripping TRADE to the
effect that Congress was responsible
for all the economic evils of that
period.
President Roosevelt didn't entirely
upset this tradition when johnson
visited him the day the 18th Con-
gress recessed for the summer. Roo
sevelt also was irked about Con-
gress wishy-washy attitude on in
flation. However, Roosevelt was
more philosophical than belligerent.
The President said that too many
Congressman were concerned about
the prosperity of. their own dis
tricts, instead of looking at the
whole picture This was true of
both the farm and labor blocs in
Congress, the President said, al
though the farm bloc was more
strongly entrenched.
If pressure groups had their
way, he added, we would have a
repetition of conditions during the
last war when corn rocketed to
$1.44 a bushel and cotton sold for
40 cents pound.
Should the administration make
price concession on one commo-
dity, the President remarked, there
would be stampede of demands
for boosting price ceilings on all
other commodities. This stampede
would be difficult, if not impossible
to stop.
Its the old story about the
camel getting his nose under the
tent, jed" said the President. "Once
he does it, the chances are hes
going all the way in"
NOTE: The current price CELL
ing ON corn is SLOT a bushel while
cotton is selling for about IS cents
a pound.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in sweeping home
front reorganization, has ordered
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
and Secretary of Commerce Jesse
Jones, relieved of all responsibility
Of foreign economic warfare and
created a new office under Leo T.
Crowley to take over the work.
In the order. the President Sc
verely reprimanded the Vice-Presi-
dent, as head of the Board of Econ
omic Warfare, and Jones, Supervis-
or of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, for publicity in airing
the dispute over purchase of stra-
tegic materials.
The President, in his order, abol-
ishes the Board of Economic We'll
fare, and transferred the functions
along with the RFC subsidiaries in
foreign economic matters.
The new office of Economic We'll
fare will be headed by Crowley. now
Alien Property Custodian.
The President also told heads of
Departments that If they fail to
bring disputes to him before going
to the newspapers, they must re-
sign
Wallace started the feud with
Jones on charges Jones was OBJ
structing the war effort in acting
slowly in providing the Board OF
Economic Welfare with funds with
which to purchase strategic mater
ials.
Jones said holly, the charges
were malicious and untrue.
President Roosevelt said the "un-
fortunate and acrimonious public
debate between the two Cabinet
officials, made it necessary in pub
lie interest to transfer the admin
istration Of foreign economic af-
fairs in other hands.
The President also said: I'm the
midst OF waging war that is so criti-
cal to national security to future
civilization, there is no time to in
vestigate where the truth lies in
the conflicting versions on trans
action that took place one year
and one-half ago"

Japanese Moi Stymied
In Pacific; They Are
Consolidating Gains
japanese strangle-holds in the
Pacific.)
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 16. - Some
military commentators TT ntly
have been prefacing their remarks
with Nov that we have the Jap
anese stymied in the Pacific"
If there ever was voice crying
in the wilderness that such is not
the case, it is the voice of Sen.
Ebert Duncan Thomas, Democrat
from Utah.
First, let me tell you about Sem
ator Thomas. There are three
fThomases" in the Senate, but
they shouldn't be confused. Ebert
d. Thomas started life in Salt Lake
City 60 years ago, the Mormon son
of Mormon parents. He followed
family tradition by becoming a
Mormon missionary.
His mission took him to Japan
and later to China. His colleagues
will readily admit that there isn't
one of them who knows more about
the Orient than Ebert Thomas.
He was intimately acquainted with
Admiral Togo and General Nogi.
I'm my study and teaching of
history" he says, Il start and end
with the Orient. That puts me out
of harmony with most of the his
tory departments of American in
stitutions, because most of our his
tory teaching deals with western
Europe and America. The rest of
the world we let go hang; and we
today are suffering the consequent
ces."
That may sound a little pedantic,
but when it comes from a man
held in such esteem by his COL
leagues that he is chairman of the
Senate Education and Labor COM
mittee, and member of the COM
mittees on Foreign Relations, Mill
tary Affairs, Mines and Mining, and
Pensions, you can be sure it's not.
Senator Thomas is not one of the
"all-out" critics of postponement of
our war against the Japs. Although
he is convinced that postponement
of concentrated activity in that
theater will prolong the war at
least year or two, he sees in
our present strategy the possibility
of saving many lives.
The records of Guadalcanal, New
Guinea and Attn bear him out.
These defensive offensives against
Japanese outposts have been ex-
travagant in dead, wounded, i'll and
captured. That they have cost
the Japanese more dead than our
own and Allied troops is little COM
pensation.
! -Four things should be borne in
mind: Cd The Japs are a desperate
people, because they have made a
desperate gamble to rule Asia or to
go back to the days of Tokugawa
Shogunate and isolate themselves
again.
CD Except for the subjugation of
inner China and the capture of an
eastern anchor in New Caledonia
or Hawaii they already have ac-
complished all they set out to do in
military way, and now have only
to fight defensive war.
90 Their manpower now num-
bers in the hundreds of millions
and their resources in strategic
materials are almost endless.
"a Through propaganda, Asiatic
blood ties and an understanding of
the Oriental mind, the Japs are
well on their way right now to es-
tablish a far greater colonial en-
pire than the occidental nations
ever dreamed of.
