Peter Edison

While both houses of Congress are
debating bills to control disposal of
multi billion dollar war supply sur
pluseS, Army, Navy. War Produc-
ton Board and War Manpower
Commission are fighting to get pro-
duction on military shortages to
take care of needs of troops at the
fronts. That big difference doesn't
make sense to most people. What
interests the average patriotic citi-
zen concerned with having the war
won at the earliest possible mo-
ment is: Why should there be any
shortages at all? Was it bad man
agement. bad planning bad general
ship. bad government, bad labor, bad
public on the home front? The
answers would seem to be COM
bination of them all.
The seven serious ShortageS-in
tanks, heavy trucks, heavy duty
tires, heavy artillery. big bombs, big
shells. aircraft radar-can't be eX-
planned away by any simple reason.
Take heavy-duty trucks. Army
procurement officers had the day
lights lambaSted out of them in a
special report by the Senate War
Investigating Committee for order
ing too many trucks. Sill there are
shortages. The bottleneck is in the
foundries where castings are made
for engine blocks, axles, transmits
sions, parts. For two months or
more the War ManpoWer Commits
sion has been trying to recruit ad-
ditional workers. But the work is
heavy, the pay is not tops and in
the hot summer months foundry
workers are inclined to take lay
offs because their jobs are dirty
and disagreeable.

THE LONGEST FIGHT

Jacksonville Register-Paj jaronlan)
The second world war Is five years
old At dawn on September |, 1889, the
German armies marched into Poland. To-
dav the weary remnants and replace
ments of those armies are being forced
back through Poland toward the same
borders which the NaM invaders crossed
SO confidently five years ago.
Organized hostilities in Poland lasted
only 35 days But the Poles never stop
ped fighting Even before the capitula-
ton. the late General Sikorski succeeded
in forming an army of 10000 in France
to carry on the battle And at home
guerilla units were organizing which
eventually became the underground army
of 25O.OOO that now. after five years of
stealthy. weak resistance, is striking
strong and open blow against the op-
pressor.
The Polish forces outside of Poland
fought increasingly for the victory that
is now in sight. They went through the
battle of France in 1910, and were the
first men into Narvik in the ill-fated IN
vasion of Norway. Another army was
organized among released prisoners IN
Russia. Seventy-five thousand men were
transferred to the Middle East. These
fought through the Libyan campaign
and are now aiding the advance in Italy
Another $4,000 are fighting with the Red
army.
The Polish navy was at Dunkirk and
Dieppa. It's small force of warships par
ticipated in the Bismarck attack, and in
Atlantic and Mediterranean operations.
And Polish merchantmen have sailed all
the worlds oceans in allied conveys.
The $4,000 men of Poland's air force
have flown more than 1000 sorties, drop
ping almost 5000 tons of bombs and de-
stroying or damaging upwards of 1000
enemy aircraft.
In the past five years Poland has lost
almost one-fifth of her pre-war popula-
tion-6,6O0.OO killed in battle or by tor
ture. privation and disease. Yet the most
brutal punishment that Nazi sadism
could devise has not been able to weaken
Poland's hope, or kill her resistance.
Poland's contribution to victory may
seem small when compared with the arm
les and industrial might of America or
Britain or Russia. But Poland's contribu-
ton of spirit and courage has been very
great Without this example, and its
later reflection in England, France and
Norway. in Greece and Yugoslava and
Russia, freedom in Europe could not have
survived to see impending victory.
Now that victory is in sight, at the end
of five years of war, it is proper that we
should remember and hail the nation
which has fought the longest, and suf-
fered the most.

ITALY SLOWED, FRANCE
SPEEDED TANK PRODUCTION

Tank production if off because.
in the first place, tank production
was curtailed when the sloWed-up
Italian campaign indicated that
tanks were not the ideal weapons
for mountain country fighting. Ac-
Celerated movements in Italy today
and the open warfare of north
ern France have changed that con-
cept.
Similarly. big field guns-eight-
inch rifles, 240 nm hoWitzers -
have been called into greater use
than the generals had at first cal
culated. It has taken heavy long
range artillery-not aircraft TO
blast the Germans loose from heaV-
lily fortified positions. The Army
moved last January to step up big
gun output. but the new facilities
are just coming into production
now.
More big guns. fired faster, have
stepped up need for big shells over
a year ago the Army cut back The
production of small arms amnuni-
ton in a number of arsenals. The
plants themselves were kept IN a
standby condition but they were
not converted TO making the big
stuff as soon as they might have
been. Doubling the rate of fire tc
break deadlocks at Anzio and in
Normandy illustrates the need.
As TO bombs, there were supposed
to be bombs running out of every
body's ears. But nearly every plane
