The ammunition is there by the ton-caissons bursting with it. But no shell is worth its cost without a gun to shoot it. I always thought the President was wrong in condemning *"*‘Yes-But'"" men in off-term debate of issues but you can't get anywhere in a political campaign if all you have learned to say is ‘‘YesBut.'' You have got to learn to say "‘No Sir!'? and make it emphatic and convincing enough to be heard and carry conviction. I didn't expect that any candidate or any party would ever again make the terrific blunders of the Alf Landon campaign, but so far this Republican campaign looks enough like it to be its twin. 2 ca The Smith twins, Bell and Nell, of Decatur, Ga., are in reverse.

Powder is the bottleneck of national defense. Without it not a shot can be fired, not even a revolver. And today's powder shortag e is most serious. It is to avoid these shortag es in the future, not only in regard to powder, but also other essentials of modern warfare that the government is anxious to build some of its own plants, or at least obtain a lien on them. This also would solve the tax problem, because industry would have no need to ask for early amortization on its emergency expenditures. Government Arms Plants. There are three general plans: One is the arsenal, completely owned and operated by the government, such as the Frankfo rd arsenal in Philadelphia. Two is the factory completely owned and operated by private industry. This was the practice employed during the World war. Three is a compromise system whereby the government buys the ground and erects the factory, then lets the private manufac turer step In and operate the plant for a management fee. have been Never Can is Tell The value of experience deper upon the dividends it pays. Some climb the ladder of lu and some walk under it. CLASSIFIEL DEPARTMEN' Carne- Probably the list takes in many others. And because of their farsightedness, these firms not only are reaping good profits for themselves but also doing a service for the government. For instance, the Elco company of Bayonne, N. J., put up an $800,000 plant extension about a year ago in order to manufacture motor-torpedo (‘‘mosquito'') boats. As a result, it is now turning over to the navy one new, and badly needed, mosquito boat each week. However, among many other manufacturers there has been backing and filling over factory expansi on and how the new plants will be taxed and financed.

It happens to be Patrick Henry in reverse. Senator Josh Lee wants the President to have power to take the newspapers and radio for "propaganda" rags. g NAVAL NOTES At first the chief improvement to the new U. S. bases on British islands will be airports. Not only are they needed immediately, but also are cheapest and quickest to construct. Naval bases, which mean oil tanks and repair facilities, take time to build and may never be constructed to any great extent. The U. S. navy will take advantage of British naval facilities for the time being. Shipbuilding, * and, is Probably it will still be necessary to bring a few ships to the Atlantic side of the canal. But the island base deal with Great Britain has now made it possible to police most of the Caribbean and the Atlantic seaboard by air instead of by sea.

In fairness to industry, it should be noted that many of its leaders have gone ahead and financed their own plant expansion without waiting to see what the tax picture would be. In fact some industrialists were far-sighted enough to begin more than a year ago. Companies which did this include: Even on his own grourld, Mr. Flynn preparing Indies-all-important ™ 6601.

Use fg strands of string, candlewick spit ¥ The high command of both the political armies appear reasonably confident and tranquil, but the great general staff of each is in a dither. For the Democrats, the loss of Jim Farley on the eve of the battle of the third term was some such catastrophe as would be the loss of Hitler to the Nazis before a decision in the Battle of Britain. Mr. Flynn, make no mistake about it, is a very able man with a better basic brain, I think, than his great predecessor. But Mr. Flynn's field command has been restricted to the Battle of the Bronx and this great American terrain is a very different matter. 6 of American of * will have to wait until the great boss - buster, Tom Dewey, gets through with him. Mr. Flynn's Bronx empire was just a little imitation, competition Tammany. I don't know what bones are buried in that realm-but maybe Mr. Dewey does. On the Republican side, campaign manager Joe Martin is as active as a night prowling tom-cat on a tin roof dodging missiles and talking back, but that is in congress-not the campaign. The purely political general staff is therefore, leaderless and accordingly disorganized. There isn't even a speech-factory. There is no strategy board of elder statesmen-or rather, seasoned politicians. Mr. Willkie fascinates evyerybody who sees him or hears him talk extemporaneously either on a chair or platform, but there are 130, 000,000 people in this country and he can't see them all. There is the radio, but he is not coached to click there and in spite of the wailing of several such speech experts as Haines Falconer that he has a natural equipment with which he could promptly be made the greatest radio orator of our time, a combination of diffidence and rugged individualism prevents that. A great opportunity seems to be trembling in the balance. East sources -- Pattern Significant was the fact that many of the over-age destroyers being sold to England were fitted out with cables to neutralize magnetic mines even before the deal was published by the President.

He is doing it in scintillating fashion. He is getting away with it. He isn't even being seriously challenged by what should be his opposition. Maybe Mr. Willkie is just winding up, but he is taking a painfully long time about it. Public enthusiasm is a fickle jade. Mr. Willkie's performance in taking the nomination away from the professionals at Philadelphia was as spectacular a show as Mr. Roosevelt's getting the naval and air bases. It captivated the country, but, as the President knows so well, a popular figure has got to Keep the glass balls dancing. Mr. Willkie, himself, apparently relies more on Orrin Root's amateur Willkie clubs than on the Republican party organizations in the several states. That is a mistake that Mr. Roosevelt never made.
