Farm Goal
Still Large

WASHINGTON. June 7 Point
ING out that the need for food
and other IT, S. farm products
will continue even after the war
ends. War Food Administration
officials said they do not expect
the invasion TO modify materially
their plans calling for all-out farm
production during 1915.
Even if victory comes sooner
than the most optimistic esti-
mates, there still would not DE
time this season 10 organize Eu-
ropes agricultural production on
a Self-suStaining basis. WA eX-
perts believe. They also expect
that this country will maintain
for some time after the war ends,
stable army and navy that
must be fed. These factors are
important when planning the size
of next years crops, they believe.
The goals for the production
of important farm commodities
next season. while still in the for
NATIVE stage, are expected TO
equal or exceed those for this
year.

SITUATION DRAMATIZED

This whole situation was drama
TIED last week by the "sit-in"
staged at the Brewster Airplane
plants. Probably the first thing
TO think about in this case Is the
long history of the troubles at
Brewster. The record of the COM
pany has been bad and both in
efficiency and labor troubles have
prevailed. Under the circum-
stances two results were bound
to occur ID As soon as the gov
eminent found it desirable to cur
tail production, the cutback would
come al Brewster, and (2) as soon
as the plant was closed down. the
Brewster force would do some
thing radical, as they did.
But aside from that, this case
dramatiEes the fact that the time
is drawing near when other gov
eminent contracts will be can
celed II is high time that the
governments machinery for grad
ual termination, and aid in recon-
version, be set up and be properly
manned for effective work. Why
didn't the Baruch-Hancock plan
or the spirit of it appear in the
Brewster case =?

STEEL OUTPUT OFF

Last week, steel production de-
cllned TO a little under 90 per
cent. But this was probably due
TO reduced productivity of labor
1t is notable that in several quar-
tiers one hears complaints that the
output per employee is not as large
as IL was.
Sometimes this is due TO the
attitude of the laborerS. who 'let
down as they feel that the war
is going well or that they have
grievances. Sometimes it is due
TO less efficiency in the workers
efforts, either because of turn
over" from one job to another, or
because of physical disability. For
example, there is complaint that
the draft has taken younger and
more vigorous men from the coal
mines and steel mills, thus tend
ing to reduce output per man.
OF course. strikes are an addi-
tional factor.
