Cracking Bottlenecks

The prodigiouS achievement OF Amerl-
can industry, combined with the spec
tacular success of the Navy in thwarting
Axis submarines, has put an initial crack
into some of the most burdenSome civil
ian bottlenecks. Specifically, we now have
caught up-or are on the very verge OF
catching up-with shortages in alumni
mum, copper, steel, cast iron, wool, and
rubber for most purposes except heavy
duty tires. The improvement is not nee
eSsarily permanent. Another of the con-
tinual shifts in front line requirements,
a revival of ship losses, moderately pro-
tracted strike or holiday" in any OF these
industries, and the tiny SURPRISES in ex-
cess of critical war needs would vanish.
Barring one of those eventualitieS, it Will
be possible for the WPB to allocate in
creased quantities of material to civilian
needs. Indeed, in certain fields such allo-
cations could have been made already II
nanpower and machines were available
10 utilize the raw materials without In
terfering with war production.
In general here are some of the bless
Engs we can expect or for which We can
hope in the near future: There is enough

yards of Army reject nylon has been re-
leased for use in garments, but not for
hosiery. There is no ban on use of syn
thetic rubber for garments, and it ap-
pears that the passenger car tire situa-
lion will loosen up bit, at least enough
TO help war and business users. Cast iron
Is becoming available for kitchen ware,
flatirons, ETC., and steel can be used for
coat hangers, screens, carpet sweepers,
hand tools and similar items. There is
copper for insect screen, repair parts for
household labor saving devices, electri-
cal equipment and plumbing fixtures.
This doesn't mean that you will get
all OF those things at once On many OF
them there were two locks-raw material
and manufacturing facilities. The first
has been loosened. The second hasn't,
necessarily. The WPB authorizes fabri-
cation of 80 per cent as much farm ma
chinery as in 1910, for example, but that
industry may be able to turn out only 70
per cent after meeting its obligations to
the fighting men, though the raw mater
ials are available. There still are clouds
IN the sky. But they are lighter. The
sun Is going to come up.

time with a tie-up with patriotism,

At the same time, a disturbing
thought intrudes: Some Of the indi-
viduals and firms who are victim
lied are Of the type that surely
should have known better. They are
supposed to know their way around.
One OF the firms which fell for the
racket, in fact, was a private detec-
tive agency which is supposed to be
just about the last word in sophisti-
cation. The sucker crop. in war and
peace, still flourishes. 1t must be
true that one is born every minute

amended, two to take him"

AS A MATTER OF FACT

The farmers of the state were congrat-
ulated by Governor Baldwin at a con-
Guiding session the other night of the
Farm Bureau. He said among other
things, however, that tougher times are
coming" The critical milk situation still
looms up in the state. So far the state
has not actually suffered or been lacking
in this commodity. Equipment and man.
power problems face us this year, he said,
and the food problems may not be so
easy to handle.

The juveniles are at it again: They
seem to furnish us with considerable
worry these days, from careless indiffer-
ent newsboys and errand boys to the
more hardened class like four up Boston
way who figured in an $1,000 robbery.
These particular boys ranged in age from
IA to is years and they had in their pos,
session two shotguns, three pistols and
over two thousand dollars in cash. II
they can lay their hands on that amount
of cash no wonder they scott at earning

There is likely to be plenty of aln-
employed after the war according TO
Labor Executive Secretary John ]. Egan..
Unemployment, he said, "iS going to last
for considerable time after the war
ends" He warned of what happened
back in the 1905. However. how the
employment or unemployment problem
works out remains to be seen. There is
no need to be too peSsimistic: and Also
too much optimism is not recommended.

NO MARGARINE IN A FREE
COUNTRY

In recent talks about oleomar-
garine I said here that federal reg
ulations required addition Of Vita
min A. That Is not so. Federal
regulations merely permit manu-
facturer to add vItamin A to oleo-
margarine II he wishes to do so;
but If he adds any vitamin A the
regulations require that he add not
less than 1900 units Of real or nat
ural vitamin A (not carotene, as
said) to the pound.
Carotene is yellow in color. II
It is added to oleomargarine the
trick federal law penalties the con-
sumner of the oleomargarine so col-
ored yellow to the tune Of 10 cents
pound tax-not to mention nu-
merous other taxes imposed by va
rious states to discourage the use
Of oleomargarine by the public.
Ours is a free country, free for
the milk or dairy industry to ex-
plot the dumb public by seeing to
it that all these difficulties and
costs are put in the way Of the pro-
duction and consumption of oleo-
margarine.
Butter contains both carotene
yellow color, pro-vitamin A-that
is, it may be converted into vitamin
A in the animal or human body)
and real or natural vitamin A. The
natural vitamin A manufacturers
add to oleomargarine is virtually
colorless, does not color the mar
garine at all.
When butter is rather pale, the
dairy people are privileged to color
it up to a rich yellow. with food
colors the indulgent Food and Drug
Administration approves for the
purpose, and this little trick may
be turned without mourning any
special tax and without any declar-
alton on the label or cover of the
butter carton to tell the purchaser
the butter is not SO rich as it looks.
1t is wonderful to live in a free
country where, If the butter Is too
pale any one may color it up as
yellow as you please and no penal
ty to pay, but If the white color Of
the margarine doesn't please no
body can color it at all without
paying tribute.
Oleomargarine Is as nutritious
wholesome, digeStible and in every
way as acceptable as butter.

An OPA investigator in western
New York has picked up a counter
felt serial numbered B3 coupon.
This IS the first evidence OPA has
had of counterfeit serial numbered
coupons and OPA is warning the
industry Immediately so that deal
er outlets will make certain to take
these two precautions:
(1) Check the endorsement on
every coupon against the license
number of the car into which the
gasoline is delivered.
~ Check the serial number on
the coupon against the serial num-
Der shown on the folder containing
the coupons to make sure that the
coupon number matches the folder.
Gasoline dealers no longer can
assume that all serially numbered
coupons that motorists offer are
genuine. However, by checking the
endorsement and coupon cover,

themselves against having fakes
passed off on them, since motorists

WORLD IN REVIEW

IN MY previous article L COM
Il mented upon the action OF a
committee of Congress recon-
mending that the United States
secure from Great Britain the
cession of the islands Of the At

on which, in 1910, we obtained
sea and air bases in exchange
for destroyers.
My own opinion is that such
a move would be a mistake.
On the basis or The BRUSH
grant we have established
strong bases in Newfoundland,
the Bermudas, Santa Lucia,
Trinidad and in British Guiana.
There may be other occupied
points, but these are the impor-
tant ones.
They would seem 10 be

The large sums or money we
have spent on construction and

benefit TO those who live there.
