PegIer Rips Chaplin

VXTESTBROOK PEGIER is the latest to toss
w his javelins at Charles Chaplin, sneering
at his sudden outburst Of patriotic fervor on
behalf of Russia Peglerr like others, wonders
in print why Chaplin, who made his millions
in America never bothered to become a citi-
zen, etc. ETC., which reminds us of Damon
Runyon's recent observation. Discussing the
attacks on the comedian by few writer's, he
murmured; Some day. Chaplin's going to
get good and mad and slap down few
columnsts with his annuites.'

Labor Knows
BY HON. JAMES V. FORRESTAL
Under-Secretary of the Navy
Official U. S. Navy Photo

Labor in this country knows that
its rights and freedoms are at
stake in this war; it knows that
the cause of the United Nations
is right and just; and it knows the
role it must play i'm this crusade
10 preserve our freedom.
Labor knows that for every right
it now enjoys it has a correspond
ing duty. Increasing the produc-
ton of warships, aircraft guns and
ammunition, food and clothing for
our Navy is one Of labor's duties.
That is the primary obligation Of
the workers in our factories and
shipyards throughout the United
States who are doing work for the
Navy.
Labor knows that it must keep
faith with the soldiers and sailors
who are daily meeting the fire of
the enemy in the battle areas. La
Dor knows that. in order to do this,
it must do without things so that the
men in the armed services may
have them; it knows that it must
keep physically fit and be ready
for each days work on the pro-
duCtion line; and it knows that
past production records must be
bcttored.

Eye Safety Film
To Be ShOavn

Thousands of workers in ship
yards are going to see sound film
strips illustrating eye hazards which
will emphasize the need of wear
ing protective devices when near
welding torches or other imple-
ments causing eye flashes
Such injuries are rarely danger
Gus but they are painful for a few
hours and cause many days of lost
time. Each yard is equipped with
goggles but men are said to be
careless and do not wear them when
they should. When pressed by the
safety engineer to use protective
gear the men reply that the Cog
giles do not fit or were not cleaned
by the fellow who used them last.
The films are being prepared by
the National Safety Council and
the Safety Divisions of the Mari
time Commission and Navy are ac-
lively cooperating.

Enemy Plane Losses
Four To One

Workmanship Of American air
plane builders and the skill of Am
eriCan Army pilots are reflected in
the latest box score issued by the
War Department on U. S. and en-
envy combat aircraft losses for 1912
and for the month of December
The tabulation reveals that the
Axis lost four planes to every one
lost by the United States.
The box score shows that in 1912
the enemy lost a total of 987 planes
shot down and 1862 probably des-
troyed, with a loss of SO Ameri-
can planes.
Army Air Forces claims of prob
ables" are made when enemy planes
are observed going down in spins,
out of control or on fire after COM
bat. Those counted as shot down"
were seen to disintegrate in the
air, crash TO the ground or into the
seas or were abandoned by the pilot
or crew bailing out.

Shipyords Train New Men

Supervisory forces in shipyards
comprising foremen and leadermen
are building manpower and ships at
the same time, providing a solid
foundation for the extra three mil
lions of tonnage planned in 1913.
The foremen prepared themselves
for training new men by meeting
together in production conferences
once or twice a week. Being prac-
teal men having real knowledge of
all details in ship construction and
fitting they devised methods which
are speeding production from keel
laying to delivery.

We were the arsenal and supply

sgainst the onrushing Axis power
and when we became involved In
the expanding war our RESPONSE
bilities multiplied.
shipping Held Key To War
Time and again the shipping
program was doubled. Each time
it was not enough. With every
new blow to the democratic pow
ers we raised the goal a little
higher. On both sides of the At
lantic responsible spoke SIN e.
warned that shipping was the key
to the war, and that on our pro-
duction of tonnage rested the fate
of tn e United Nations defense
against enemies that seemed in
vincibie.
And American productive genius
replied. On the basis of most re-
liable sources, it is a fact that at
no time were the crucial shipments
from Atlantic coast ports of
planes, tanks and ammunition
piled up or delayed in any serious
quantity for lack of tonnage.
For a long time, prior to our
entry in the war and even after
that point, the United Nations
production rate remained far be-
low losses. Fifteen months after
the war started, an official calcu-
lation placed British, Allied and
neutral losses at 4,325,000 gross
tons, and total world losses at
nearly 100000 tons. British losses
alone were nearly 2,750,O0O tons.
Great Britain was producing
about 100000 tons annually, and
our own Workmanship production
was considerably less than one
twelfth of the world losses for the
first year of war.
Growth in Second Year
But Americ an potentialities
were being swiftly realized and
