Vital Concern (SEE EVERY vessel sunk 'along our Atlantic coast emphasizes the increasing bold-nes- s of, the submarine marauders and the wide range of their operations. It is - possible that these destroyers have a supply station and a source of informa-- ' tion somewhere m the Caribbean Cer-- ; tainly they seem to radiate from that i source. I A fairly effective submarine defense has evidently been built around the Brit-- ' ish Isles, although there are German submarine bases right across the narrow English Channel. Of course, our long coast line offers a much more difficult problem; but It must be solved because we cannot carry on our offensive warfare in full force overseas until we gain con-trol f our own waters Although we are building ships faster than ever "before in j history, we are not building them fast enough. It is reassuring, however, to be told Maritime Commission that our the by 1 will be two shifis a day, and may . reach- three by-- fall The president says. . thatwe are now within reaching distance tremendous quota of 8,000,000 tons a year. Thisshows that sofarasthe ? ship building is concerned we are doing I a wonderful job, but if the sinkings continuc both' the quota and the speed of production must be raised.- The Navy Department has announced that 191 United Nations merchant es- sels have been sunk in the Atlantic since t the Pearl Harbor attack, whereas this iyear the United States has put only 120 cargo ships into service. Fortunately for 5 us, this figure does not include British f ship production, which is also rapidly In-- ; creasing. Our most important concern today Is the urgent need of merchant ships to j carry our implements of war to battle fronts. Munitions, for which there are bo carriers, are beginning to pile up on our docks, and the outlook with regard to coastal tankers is extremely critical. If the situation continues evident f that, in time, there will not be sufficient ships to carry out the vital duty of supplying United States forces and their Allies with the needed weapons and sol- diers This is the greatest single necest sity of the war. The object of Allied air and land tactics should be to discover where the Axis submarine marauders are being' ' " built and from which they lire operated. s Commando raids carried out daily in connection with the RAF attacks on occu- pied France, Germany and Norway, would no doubt lessen the submarine ravages We have made, and are still making a wonderful shipbuilding recoid, but we must have more ships Admiial Land says that in some of the yards labor problems are still interfering with productions Steps should be tpken at once to stop this delay in ship production. In this total war cargo ships are weapons just as essential as Tguns, tanks " and planes It is not acting the part of an alarm- 5 1st to point out these facts at this time, which probably many people have not grasped Shipping is in a crucial con-dition right now. The feeling in Washington is that something is going to be done about it and without delav. Some may question the wisdom of building . ships to be sunk when we can build them . to fly.

Mrs. Roosevelts recent rather evasive remarks on the sub--Jeof compulsory, public financial accounting by union politicians, it is important to consider that her own political party naa received great contributions out of union treas- . uries whose members were r compelled to provide their Individual mites even though, as Individual citizens, they were opposed to her party. John L, Lewis, as director pf the United Mine Workers arid the CIO. , was the greatest contributor The amount of his donations and loans is not publicly known. X asked Jim Farley about this and he consulted one of his old associates in party politics, and passed on the information that the mine workers contributed "directly and "indirectly about $250 000, of which $50,000 was a loan and was repaid. Beyond this, however, I refer to a recent letter to the Cincinnati Post by George R Rice, the regional director of the CIO construction workers, which is another union racket of the enterprising Lewis family being controlled by Wrong Johns brother. Deny Lewis Mr. Rice sas Jehn Lewis "gave them, He meant that outright, better than $500 000 Lewis gave an outright present of half a million dollars of the woikers' money to the Democratic for the I9l( campaign Faity N TAR Y. TRIBl TE All we know of course, and I am sure Mrs. Roosevelt, will agiee is that a large proportion of the members of the CIO and the mine workers are involuntary or captive members and that in organizations so large it is impossible to have total unanimity on anv matter. even if we childishly assume that a dictator would consult the men, as of course he wouldnt. Thus, some of the Lewis contributions to Mrs. Roosevelts party We Stand For The Constitution Of The United States With Its Three Departments Of Government As Therein Set Forth, Each One Fully Independent In Its Own Field Better Nutrition These Days RETAIL, merchants are doing effective work" today in the interests of consumers One of the objects in view is to advance the public's knowledge of nutrition An excellent example of this is found in a nutritional' meeting recently sponsored by a "leading New England food store, which was attended by more than a thousand teachers of nutrition. At this conference experts dealt with such impoitant topics as choosing the right food for the family, planning diets for childien, food fallacies, etc The purpose was to provide reliable information to make it possible for the housewife to plan meals which will adequately nourish ijer family at a reasonable cost. Food experts are emphasizing at this time the necessity of better eating It is said that too many- - men'are rejected for military serv ice because of nutritional defects The fact must be kept m mind that an adequate diet is. not necessarily may live extravaexpensive and from malnutrition. suffer gantly yet Many of the moie common and less expensive foods have higher nutritional value than the morecostly foods.

I would point out that financial secrecy m unions which -- which 31is..RQosev cl t .upholds are not "well established conceals the figures not only from opponents of, the unions but from the members as well. It should not be debatable That the members are entitled to this information and surely nobody now is unaware that thieves take advantage of snch secrecy to rob the workers. Mrs. Roosevelt does not face the question of compulsory accountability in unions which are whether firmly established, so we do not knowtoo. The sne advocates secrecy in these cases, nearest she will venture to a commitment on that point is to say that "most of the unions toI know publish a report of their financial status as their members. That statement is so vague to be without meaning TEN MILLION MEN IN THE DARK The AFL and CIO now claim and mav have a total of ten million members a large propordriven into membership - bv tion of whom-wer- e force nr other coercion, and the present fact- is is that they do not have to account to anvone for their funds.
