many for the financial and political
advantage of te few"
HITS PHRASE
Without mentioning President
Roosevelt BY name, he said the
phrase, equality of sacrifice, y
which the President had used, was
false and demagogic, a hollow
mockery.'
Rickenbacker said "a storm of
public resentment is rising" against
special privileges and licenses
granted TO the labor racketeer, the
labor profiteer and the labor loaf
er"
Because I have protested against
the abuses of a minority of the
labor movement. it is charged that
am against organized labor,
Rickenbacker said. NO charge
could be more false
I am not attacking unions. I
am attacking a cancerous condition
in our body politic-the attempt
tc impose one code for the be:efit
Of the privileged few.
REAL FRIEND

Of labor. and that the men who
are attacking me are labOrs en-

backer continued. They know
that millions of Americans are
aroused, and when the long suf-
fering patient American public is
fully aroused, woe to the men or
the cause what has called forth
its anger
EARNED RIGHT
And to the labor leaders who are
50 prone to criticize so feebly, l
say petition your government for
the privilege of flying to the hell
holes of the Pacific and the battle
fields Of North Africa, and see for
yourselves as I have-then, and
then alone will I listen 20 yOu-tor

Rickenbacker said if the nation
regained d-fashioned American
incentive and love Of country, we
will produce enough war weapons
To turn heaven and hell upside
down on the heads of Mussolini,
Hitler and TOjo."
Manufacturers who have retained
the incentive" plan, he said, know
that their plants would lose 80
per cent effectiveness if their en-
ployes were on a straight 40-hour
week and hourly rate" Such plants
have lower absenteeism than plants
cn hourly wage rates, he said.
Rickenbacker urged labor leaders
- ask congress TO repeal for the
duration payment of overtime pay,

fees or 10 use funds so collected

Sub Sinkinss Lower But
Menace Crave. Says Knox

WASHINGTON. Feb 23-(UP)-
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
said today that merchant ship
sinkings in the last three months
have been at a lower rate, but that
the submarine most emphatically
is still a very grave menace.
Knox made this statement fol-
lowing Navy disclosure that a Ger
man submarine had been sunk by
an American destroyer in the At
lantic and that japanese subma-
rine had been destroyed i'll the Pa
cific by the armed guard crew
aboard an American merchantmen.
Knox declined to estimate the
number of enemy submarines which
have been destroyed because the
figures were still a matter of Sc
curity." Besides. he said. it was
difficult TO determine definitely
when U-boat had been destroyed.
RATE BETTER
Discussing the merchant ship sit
uation in the Atlantic, Knox said
that the rate of sinkings this month
was better from our standpoint
than last month.
But we mustn't build too much
on that" he warned. The rate
goes up and down. The present
lull may be due to weather.
The submarine is most en-
phatically still very grave menace.
There's nothing on which to predi-
cate any sanguine hope for early
StOppage or cure.
I'VE need to press just as hard
as ever for vast production Of de-
stroyers and escorts.

However, it is not to he supposed
that we think we can win our bat
ties with any single type of air

planning something bigger and bet
ter than the Corsair. So are We
and not just one new fighter or
two. or three. but MANY more.
Similar research is under way in
connection with every type of ma

improve the quality of our aviators
are constantly sought. The Bureau
of Aeronautics is determined to
keep on handing over to the fleet
the best Warplanes and the best
aviators in the world.

ANOTHER QUESTION

We might at this time also ask
another question: Is naval avia-
ton prepared to carry on, with
ever-increasing effectiveness, its
part of the job of destroying the
Axis? In answer. I can only say
that We are constantly developing
new air war weapons which We be-
lieve will surpass anything the enc
my can put into action. The engi-
neering and production genius of
the aircraft manufacturing indus
try, aided by scores of Allied indus
tries. is being focused completely
on our objectives.

er, the Vought Corsair, went into
