The next day marked the beginning of a new era. The motor plants, working on a basis, began the tremendous job of switching to war production. There is a striking symbolism in that change The automobile industry is a magni-ficaexample of free enterprise at work to improve the standard of living, and to give the public a better product for less money. But the arts of peace must take a back seat now, and the arts of destruction hold the eenter of the stage. What is taking place in Detroit is taking place in all the other industrial areas of this country, in a different kinds of industry and business. The American production machine is un equaled. Its potential arms capacity is greater than that of all the other powers combined. But we are starting to use this machine at a very late date. Our enemies have a long head start on us. While the democracies were giving their energies to bettering the lot of the people, the total states were devoting theirs with ruthless single pur pose to the creation of armies, navies and air forces. The most valuable commodity in this war is time, and we must make the most of it, stinting nothing, now. The series of disasters which have taken place in the Pacific, are a grim testimonial to more than 20 years of blindness, inefficiency and wishful thinking on the part of this country, England and other democracies. So far as the f ighting quality of the Unit ed Nations troops are concerned, we need have no qualms. It is a fact that in every instance where those troops have met Axis troops on anything resembling even terms, they have emerged victorious. The tiny Dutch navy and air force has inflicted blow after blow against a Japan which is infinitely stronger in every military branch. Empire troops in Malaya took a heavy toll of an enemy which outnumbered them terribly and had virtually complete mastery of sky and sea. A relative handful of American and Filipino soldiers under the great General MacArthur have held off a Japanese army estimated at more than 200,000 men and they nt r product can be obtained Fra tod Without Obiiitatiaa ia tha Ameficaa InduMriJ Library.

Sentiment seems fairly strong for a sales tax, even at retail, and also for a levy. Proponents point to these sales tax advantages: it's easy, to levy; spreads the burden widely; operates to hold down and starts bringing in the money immediately upon enactment Most of these apply to the withholding tactic, also. But they recognize there are plenty of arguments that can and will be made on the other side. salary-withholdi- g, a a As in World War L much of the high cost of living these days is due to marketing expenses rather than actual costs of production. In the food field, for example, latest reports of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics show that marketing costs are now eating up an average of 52 cents out of every dollar spent by the housewife for food. . . even more than the 1917 average of 40 cents. On the other hand, Dome distributors have been able to cut marketing costs well below previous levels.

Meanwhile one manufacturer had taken steps to extend this inventory idea to the auto dealer field. More than 40,000 quesd tionnaires, sent out by Motors, had drawn a quick and promising response. Some 5,000 early returns showed that many of these shops have sizeable stores of fathers, grinders, milling machines, drills and other equipment suitable for light manufacturing. Final results will be turned over to government agencies, explained Joseph Ftazer, Willys president to help pave the way for more active and useful participation in the war effort by this war-hgroup. metal-workin- "low-capacit- 7:00 T:15 :0O KLO Checkerboard Tlma (MWF) Newa (Mon-Sa- t Unci Ben Funnies (Sun) Musical Train (Sat) Family Group (Hon-Fr- l) Nat'l Farm A Horn Br.

The tragedy is that MacArthur and other leaders were given so little to work with. We delayed, we refused to read the writing on the wall, we practiced business as usual and politics as usual and strikes as usual, and so the defeats we have suffered became inevitable. Now there has been some reorganization in government, .designed to give it flexibility and speed. Donald Nelson is using the vast powers conferred upon him to cut out dead wood and clear the way for swift and decisive action. Industry is confident of its ability to do the job, no matter how long and arduous it proves to be. As Raymond Clapper recently wrote, "I have talked with executives of the chief automobile companies and I haven't heard a defeatist word. They are making it a matter of personal and firm pride to demonstrate that in war production they can astonish the world just as they did in automobile production." That confident attitude extends throughout all industry. One of the most difficult jobs for the immediate future will be to mobilize small factories for war work. It is much easier to produce the peace to war transition in gigantic industries with their great staffs, endless facilities and vast resources of capital, knowledge and talent. But these great plants can't do the whole job. There are thousands of small plants in this country which can make needed parts, and which possess machine tools and other equipment which must be utilized. Past efforts to do this were ineffectual. Now a new division has been established by Mr. Nelson to deal with the problem, and much n is expected. Some think that even ships will be drawn into the vast plan of total war production. There will be no unemployed soon, save for a scattering of unemployables. The Army will be doubled in size, and that will mean that 4,000, 000 or more American men in the prime of life will be serving in uni form. Plans are on foot for putting women to work in jobs that used to be done entirely by men driving trucks and taxis, performing minor industrial operations, etc. Six months from now the problem will be how to find enough workers. This arms program will require the use of every pair of capable hands in the country. M v Friday. (' v 7 -- J '-- i'a v. ssa bSm ""SQl1 goals can be met through cient practices.

For Victory: Buy Bonds Vitamins for British During the first six months of 1941 the department of agriculture had purchased from American farmers more than 1,000,000 tons of concentrated food for Great Britain. Tht purchase includes close to 100,000,-00- 0 pounds of dried and frozen eggs, 70,000,000 pounds of cheese and pounds of dried milk. Tomatoes, containing vitamin C, which prevents scurvy, ore represented by nearly 200,000,000 pounds of tomato past. The purchase also includes nearly 9,000,000 pounds of thiamin nerve chloride, the which now is being incorporated in bread in the United States. 00 so-call- w,Ur I LaGra Shop EXCLUSIVE LADIES WEAR Lingerie Hosiery Accessories House Dresses Suits and Coats Preparedness Program . . .
