MANY PROBLEMS

In connection with the partial
resumption during wartime Of
production Of civilia n goods
hitherto interdicted for The dura-
ton. many problems arise.
There is a difference of opinion
at Washington as to the degree OF
vested interests which manufac-
turers, now engaged in war work,
have in their regular branded
peacetime civilian products. Don
aid NJ. Nelson. chairman of the
WPB, for example. leans 10 the
view that companies. Withdrawn
from regular production by gov
eminent orders, should not be
subjected q. to competition from
new sources whose capacity is not
tied UP with war work.
On the other hand. some con-
'gressional spokesman have eX-
pressed themselves in favor Of a
free for all even though the regu-
lar manufacturers are still pa tn
otically engaged exclusively IN
the making of munitions.

RAISES QUESTIONS

The conflict raises several deli
cate questions. Normally in a
competitive economic society, no
one is entitled TO special protec-
ton. But in a regulated and man
aged war economy, with free en-
terprise" largely abridged for the
duration, it is misleading 10 start
out with the assumption that nor
NAL competitive conditions pre-
vail.
Enterprises which are single
mindedly engaged in contributing
to the winning Of the war should
mot be penalized for their patri-
otism and their compliance with
government orders.
IT, while the war is on. some
hitherto scarce materials should
be released for needed civilian
products. it should be feasible 10
work out an emergency arrange
ment for reconciling the legiti-
mate needs Of customers with
equity TO businessmen.

The bond was for his appearance
before the Federal court in Balti-

arrangement indicated that he is
not to be taken from Washington

Federal Judge William C. Cole

Laughlin's bond at $500, but Mr..

question is political news instead Of
