and Bickering The office of war information has rebuked Rubber ‘Director Jeffers for his council of state charges made before a governments at Baltimore that the vitally necessary production of synthetic rubber gasoline and escort vessels is being held up by army and navy expediters’ in war production plants Mr Jeffers declared that “if we can keep the army and navy and these loafers (expediters) out and let the men in charge into the plants we’ll get the production we need out of them and we will be able to keep 100-octa- ne so-call- ed the country on rubber” Whether or not these charges are true there has been an alarming amount of confusion and delay in getting production under way on all of these critical war necessities And whether or not the OWI objects to Mr Jeffers’ public admission of this confusion it is a situation with which the public should be acquainted and concerned The whole trouble lies in the fight for priorities on certain types of machinery needed in the manufacture of all three of these apparently dissimilar products The machinery has not been put into mass production possibly it cannot be produced on that scale Meanwhile the production heads of synthetic rubber gas and escort ships convinced of the prime importance of their product seem to be pulling and hauling in a maze of conflicting demands with little discernible progress Take the case of the navy’s convoy-escovessels Although construction of 50 of them was authorized in November 1941 not one is yet in service A single vessel of this type was launched last April but remains unfinished because it lacks certain mechanical requirements t And apparently these escort ships are the best weapon in our losing war against the They are said to be sturdy enough for transoceanic service (which corvettes are not) fast enough to' outrun a surfaced submarine and adequately armed to destroy it It is pointed out that escort ships could change convoy service from a defensive operation to an active submarine hunt and that they could free for aggressive action our destroyers and larger ware raft now on convoy duty Something more constructive than fumg needs to bling bickering and be done about submarine attacks and it needs doing quickly It is true that thanks to a magnificent production effort launchings of merchant ships exceeded sinkings in the closing months of last year But the nazis in one of those closing months built more than 15 times as many submarines as we were able to sink We can’t beat the axis until we stop the And we can’t stop the without more effective means than we now havej Certainly the army &nd the navy and the WPB know' this better than the Chilian and arq taking steps to remedy the situa100-octan- e rt U-bo- at name-callin- U-bo- at U-boa- ts tion The most recent of these steps is the WH proposal to assure more material for escort vessels by limiting construction of synthetic rubber factories to 55 per cent of the plan Mr Jeffers aware of the urgent need of rubber doesn’t like this 55 per cent cut He told the Baltimore forum that there was a “perfectly simple” answer to the problem: “Uet’s have a little more practical thinking” Well that ought to help even if it isn’t the whole answer At least it 'should avoid repetitions of the recent" incident in Gary Indiana where according to the war department spokesman a synthetic rubber plant was cancelled after $3000000 had been spent on it because its construction involved “excessive cost ot critical material” v: v Rationing maymake women as short on'

experience in military and naval strategy F D R's mother once found him at the age of 14 reading Admiral Mahan long considered the toughest driest but in those days the best book on naval strategy (it was based on battleships) Churchill conceived and pushed various military moves in the last war including the Gallipoli campaign In this war he personally has made most- - of the major decisions

gushed his visitor “I’ve exhibited Errol Flynn’s pictures in my theatres but I’ve never seen him in real life Maybe I can get his autograph with your help” The senator explained that although

unpleasant and trustful view of Rus-sio- n communism and would like to sell the American people a bill of goods What they are up to I cannot guess for Mr Wallace is said to be a deeply religious man and Mr Davies is a major league capitalist both in his own right and by marriage For conflicting opinion I take you to the files When Adolf Hitler broke his treaty with Joseph Stalin and attacked Russia on June 21 1941 Winston Churchill took to the air at once with a promise of material financial and military aid to the soviet government because an enemy of Hitler was a friend of Britain’s Nevertheless as one who has often written vigorous opinions of communism in the past he was compelled to say also: “The nazi regime is indistinguishable from the worst features of communism It is devoid of all theme and principe except appetite and racial domination No one has been a more consistent opponent of communism than I have for the last 25 years I will unsay no words that I have spoken against it” On December 1 1939 President Roosevelt denounced Russia as an aggressor against Finland and denounced also Russia’s policy of force in disregard of law The next day he declared a moral embargo against Soviet Russia and asked American firms to shut off sales of war equipment to an aggressor who had bombarded and machine-gunne- d civilians from the air On June 1 ’1941 10 days before the invasion of Russia when the president found it necessary to use troops of the regular army to disperse rioters who were blocking the gates of the North American aviation plant outside Los Angeles Robert Jackson then attorney general and now a justice of the supreme court a Roosevelt appointee said: “The situation more nearly resembles insurrection than a labor strike The distinction between loyal labor leaders and those following the communist party line is easy to observe Loyal labor leaders fight for a settlement of grievances Disloyal men who have wormed their way into the labor movement don’t want settlements They want st’rikes That is the communist party line” Within a month of that date American communists who had cheered the strike were howling for more weapons atd tools for Russia and a few months ago Charlie Chaplin the distinguished unnaturalized alien paying guest of the United States was demanding that American men be sent against the nazi guns on a second front to relieve the pressure on Russia Chaplin who was not planning to go with them remarked that in his time he had paid 10 million dollars in taxes as a 'paying guest but neglected to add that of that amount more than one million was taken from him by force of law by the internal revenue when he miscalculated his board bill in Uncle Sam’s hotel at the sign of the free and easy One of the leaders of the California insurrection fomented by the disloyal men of the communist party line was Wyndham Mortimer-a veteran disturber For his in this insurrection Richard part Frankensteen national director of the aviation division of the United Automobile Workers’ union of the C I O found it necessary to fire him However not long afterward the Cleveland communists took Mortimer on as an organizer of the Aluminum workers on the ground that in consideration of his past performances as a leader of insurrection he deserved a break Our government’s view of communism was about the same as Churchill’s at the time of Hitler’s invasion for Sumner Welles of the state department said: “This' government has often stated and in many of his public statements President Roosevelt has declared that freedom to worship as their own conscience dictates is the great and fundamental right of all peoples This right has been denied to their peoples by both the nazi and soviet governments To the people of the United States this and other doctrines of the communistic dictatorship are as intolerable and as alien to their own beliefs as are the principles of the nazi dictatorship Last spring Francis Biddle the present attorney general upheld the finding that Harry Bridges was by legal proof a communist and that he was therefore an A few enemy of this government RooseEleanor Mrs months later velt recognized that the communists of the United States were obedient to the rule of a foreign power Nevertheless although any person who fraternized with or followed the “line” of the nazis before Pearl Harbor is now suspect and in danger of Indictment many others including Congressman Vito who followed the Marcantonio communist line and some of the leaders of Mrs Roosevelt’s own union
