TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

The new Congress is feeling its cots, and that is

the promise will be kept, but from both sides Of the
oise come assurances thot the peoples representa-

There are two obvious reasons for this One is the
relatively party split, with generally conservative
southern Democrats holding balance Of power be-
tween their nominal kinsnen from other sections and

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

There will be insistent de-
mands that this new price ad-
ministrator ease up a little, to
satisfy the unpopularity of ra-
tioning at home. II that endan-
gers the supply of petroleum and
rubber products for the armed
services, the people complaining
the loudest against mileage ra-
tioning consider it unimportant.
3. The further rationing of
Embellishments, canned goods
and dairy products-will meet
with plenty of criticism during
periods when people are getting
used to this rationing, although
it should be obvious to every
housewife that the present sys-
tenn of voluntary rationing of
meat has been a complete fail
ure. Nevertheless, anyone who
wants to can sit down and figure
out plenty of objections to the
point" system of food rationing
and the "inequities" it works on
the upper-income. higher stand
ard of living groups who have
been used to all the meat, all the
canned goods they wanted.
There will be plenty of angry
speeches made about this in the
next few months. Some of the
rationing officials say privately
that they have only themselves
to blame for this, because they
have not sold the country on the
idea that it should be considered
just as unpatriotic to make
speech against rationing and
price control as it would be to
make a speech against the pur-
chase of war bonds.
RAW MATERIALS SCARCITY
4. The pinch for raw materials
is beginning to be felt. Farmers
demand more steel for the man.
ufacture of farm machinery, as
mentioned above. Rubber Adj
ministrator William N letters
demands more for the erection
of synthetic rubber plants. If
mileage rationing restrictions
are eased up and letters doesn't
get his synthetic p1 hts, here is
the making of complete break
down of the country's transport
tation-on-rubber by 1914.
Yet if LETTERS does get mater
ial for his rubber factories, con-
struction of plants for produc-
ton of aviation gasoline and 9TH
er war materials may be cur
tailed, endangering the war eff
fort.
5. The manpoWer squeeze is
similar. The general staff says it
needs an Army of rs million
men. Yet because the draft takes
men away from farm and fac
tory, where they are also need
ed, farm leaders, manufacturers
and even some civilian govern
ment officials favor reducing the
size of the Amy, favor keeping
the home front intact and as us
ual even at the expense OF the
fighting front.
6. The burden Of war taxation
is just beginning to be felt
through the Victory tax payroll
deductions. War taxes will real
ly be felt when people make out
their income ia: returns before
March Is. There will be hollers
aplenty about that, yet the new
Congress must pass even higher
taxes for 1914. With that will
come demands for wage increas-
es to meet the tax payments.
With that comes initiation.
There you have the essentials
of this war on the home front

we produced $500 military planes

N eeded Artillery

In tank production. we revised
our schedule-and for good and
sufficient reasons. AS a result of
hard experience in battle. we have
diverted a portion of our tank
producing capacity to stepped-up
production of new. deadly field
weapons. especially artillery.
In 1912, we produced $4,000
machine guns. six times greater
than our production in 1e41 and
three times greater than our total
production during the year and a
half Of our participation IN the
first world war.
We produced 7l.oo0 anti

than our 1871 production.

billion rounds OF small arms am
munition. five times greater than
