Commissioner Valentine announces that he has greatly strengthened the police force The crimes continue There is going to be another riot in Harlem according to predictilns freely made The people are not going to take this crime wave as an inevitable thing but are going to demand that it be stopped even if some criminals have to be killed Meantime here is good advice to American service men who come to New York: Stay out of Harlem Our Grover Whalen handsome gardenia-decorate- d knight of the great city has not been heard of in print since his disastrous em -- year at the worlds fair Whalen must have fired his publicity staff at about this time He is as completely out of print as Jimmy Walker Released by licNaught Syndicate Inc Behind the Scenes of Current News et in Michigan is proceeding so rapidly it will be ready to produce synthetic rubber in January Tire companies are now already producing tires out of reclaimed rubber The army is being told it cannot use rubber for everything when available substitutes will do just as well Much criticism has been offered of government cancellation of the $110000000 Indiana synthetic engineering plant but it appears the cancellation came about because the government discovered old gas manufacturing plants in Los Angeles and San Francisco which could be put in order to produce synthetic rubber for only $7000000 Single Leadership What the situation notably needs is single-hande- d affirmative government leadership which will promise that If "can" produce as much as possible and a cessation of the "can't" pol- icy The Baruch committee is expected to point the way to do this in the analytical second section of its report Time Is now ripening for an over-t-i- r change of government home war policy to the same affirinative ground on many fronts Up to now the government has been stressing the necessity of getting as much domestic business as possible into the war effort Other lines have been trimmed cut or crushed This was necessary The suddenness with which we were plunged into war required quick conversion of utmost economic energy into the production of war goods while other lines of business suffered Correction of defects in this conversion job remains to be as the current accomplished predicament of W P B on raw materials illustrates Once these are corrected the time will have arrived for a new phase of Washington concentration It will be found that in order to support the home front to enable business to pay the kind of taxes congress is enacting to curb inflation to provide employment and to sustain the national economy the government will have to switch to a line of encouragement for consumer business and production of civilian use materials to the fullest extent possible Wars can be lost on the home front In fact victory has never been won on the battle line by a nation economically disorganized Change in Draft The same change will have to be made in draft policy eventually Up to now in the rush to raise an adequate army the government has been registering and threatening to draft everyone without particular regard to physical defects age dependencies and in some spots even to war work Such a policy was justifiable (even if not made necessary to the extent of General Hershey's recent speeches) because the raising of an army was a pri- mary consideration SeptemVer If This Be Treasmi Make the AI ost of It USFORCES (FLASH!
