an estimated 70 per cent of all the
freight in and out of war produc-
ton plants, may run the risk of a
breakdown as result. though there
is a further question of what addi-
tional civilian trucks might use for
tires, if they had been built. That
is even problem TOR the $4,000
civilian trucks which it is planned
to build in 1914. But when civilian
supply on essential item? like trucks
runs as close as this, tnen you see
the need for extreme care in the
placing of military orders.
Another phase of this problem
comes in the ordering of industrial
tractors and lift trucks. Army
warehouse space is said to be three
times the total of all commercial
space, and to move war supplies in
and out of storage, requirements
have been put in for large numbers
of industrial tractors, used in haul
ing strings Of small warehouse
trailers from freight car to storage
space or ship side, as well as for
fork lift trucks to raise and lower
supplies in storage piles. Investi-
cations of the Truman Committee
explore the apparently careless
methods of preparing specifications
and procurement of models for
which there is questionable use.
The War Department is generally
given credit for having done a
tremendously efficient and effective
lob in handling the renegotiation of
its contracts. Savings to the gov
ernment of Sl,5OO, O,0OO,00O net have
been reported by Under Secretary of
War Robert Patterson as result
of renegotiation and price adjust
ment. This is simply good business
practice. What the investigating
senators would like to see is similar
good business practice in letting the
original contracts Such efficiency
in the first instance would do away
with the unpleasantness of re-
negotiation later on.

WORD TO MOTORISTS

81 The year closes with California facing
"a mighty poor record as to traffic acci-
dents deaths and injuries. year of
gas and tire restriction, yet, with Is per
5.ment more accident injuries and a death
record none can look up or except with
horror and shame. And surveys show
-Itravel has been reduced at least 20 per
cent this year on the states highways.
The same survey shows nearly 5000 auto
mobile accidents in the state.
4 With an even more acute shortage of
.-gasoline ahead, tires wearing out and
requirements difficult, cars deteriorat-
ing and therefore less safe to drive, Cali
fornians face an even more hazardous
year ahead.

sense be used by all who operate cars.
Every precaution possible should be TAX

GERMAN SECRET WEAPONS
Clos Angeles Times)

(1OS A0g0leS llISSJ
Whether the Germans really have de-
veloped secret weapon with which
England will be evastated-stories and
what purport to be photographs of new
and powerful rocket gun are being dis
tributed with hints that this is it-no one
on this side of the German frontier Is IN
position positively to say. But there is
one part of the propaganda that unques-
tionably does not ring true: the state
ment that the weapon is so terrible that
the Germans will not use 1t except IN the
last extremity of need.
The more terrible, the more likely is
i that the Germans would use 1t as soon
as possible, unless it is also so dangerous
that it might backfire.
That it is possible to develop rocket
of great power, carrying very large
load of explosives, hardly needs argu
ment All the belligerents are using
rockets to some extent, and successfully,
and there is no reason why the principle,
used now on a small scale, cannot be
extended. 1t is also true that the idea
of very long-range bombardment has
been a favorite one in the German mind,
as witness the guns which bomsarded
Paris with no military results) in World
War l. The difficulty is that of control,
and the probability that the Nazis have
solved this problem successfully is not
high. We were told in the early days
of the war that the Nazis had guns on
the French coast capable of shooting Is
miles and we were also told they were
about to be used to lombard London.
The guns may exist but it is not believed
they have been used.
A target the size of London might be
hit from rs miles, or greater distance;
but bombing a target that size is waste
of ammunition, since important military
targets are much smaller and if the
bombs did any military damage it would
be by pure chance There are too many
unknown variables influencing the flight
of projectiles to make super-range bonn,
bardment at present of much practical
use

Forthcoming disclosures by the
Senate Truman Committee investi-
eating the war effort will raise
again the question CT whether or
not a war-particularly this present
War-can be run efficiently at
home, behind the lines.
In preparation now are reports
on transportation and the building
up of Army inventories which will
60 into the whole matter of War
Department policies in these two
fields.
Particularly, there will be studies
in the procurement of motor trucks,
industrial tractors and lift trucks,
as well as spare parts fer all me-
chanized equipment. The purpose is
to determine whether the Army
procurement services over = ordered,
not only getting more equipment
than they could possibly use, with
out regard to requirements for
maintaining the civilian economy
which must support and continue
to supply the armed services.
War has always been considered 4
wasteful business" A prevalent
| idea has been that the side with
the greatest resources, the side
which could put the most men and
materials in the field, the side
which could withstand the greatest
losses the side which could afford
to waste the most, was bound to
win the war.
In short war. maybe that theory
of logistics holds good. But in d
war that stretches out as this one
seems to be stretching, the idea Is
open TO question. In its place is the
theory that the side which can
manage its resources of men and
materials most economically is the
side than can best withstand the
drain of a long war and is the side
that in the end will win.
Getting down TO present cases,
takes the matter of trucks. In its
j forthcoming report on transporta-
ton. the Truman Committee will
take a strong position with respect
to the purchasing of trucks by the
Army. The War Department has
asked for the production of hun
dreds of thousands of trucks in
, 1914.
Meeting these military truck re-
! quirementS has meant depriving
civilian truck operators of new
equipment. The stockpile of new
/ trucks that has been rationed out
gradually in the last two years is
now all gone, and only 100 new
trucks were made for civilian use in
these two years.

--LATEST IN BLACK MARKETS

And now comes the charge in large
eastern industrial city that firms there
have conspired to establish what is brand
ed as 'black market" in railroad tickets.
1.-The assertion goes on to say that trains
are leaving that city with many empty
seats because these firms have bought
: up great blocks of tickets, leaving hun
dreds of persons behind, and being told
the train was sold out" Large concerns
are accused of boarding reservations for
which they never had any use, scores of
which never were used, or else dumped
back into railroad offices few hours
before departure time. The charge goes
: even further to say that hotel employees
are operating their own 'black markets
by getting in on the dumping, buying
-fhe tickets at regular prices and then
receiving exhorbitant sums from waiting
Travellers That this situation could exist
seems next to impossible. While it is
recognized that the military must come
first in transportation, nevertheless,
there are thousands of civilians who must
travel and shame on officials of the law
or that rail lines who will permit such
dishonest methods in these critical times.

Divergent VIEWS

There is no evidence that government
and business are thinking along the same
lines on postwar planning. The politi-
clans would continue the worn-out and
disastrous theory and practice of regu
lation, reform and regimentation. Bus
iness on the other hand, is offering and
expanding program of free enterprise,
regulation as needs will be required, but
with the thousand and one absurd and
damaging regulations thrown off. The
government view seems to be to follow
the conviction that deficits mean moth
ing, that the bigger the public debt, the
greater sign of progress and prosperity;
TO ignore the fundamentals of the profit
system and to look to industry for the
bulk of taxes to support this wllly-nllly
program. Business sets out a program
built on the hope for the return of 'the
traditional practice of financing, bal
sanced budget and the reduction and oblit-
Aeration of the public debt Theorists
and politicians boast of gigantic back
logs for industrial plants, but never give
a thought to the necessity for backlog
surplus of capital to start the wheels
turning Government planners still talk
of public works projects to meet unem-
sployment while business urges a policy
(which will insure sound conditions of
rprivate employment.
Z 1t would be ridiculous to be satisfied
with the progress we have made toward
