The June rate will be about And by the end of this year, the economists confidently predict we will be producing at the rate of $70,000,000,000 a vear. In time to come, many a learned book will be written telling just how private industry did this job—a job which is unpre- dicted in world history 25 percent greater. Two years ago we were totally unprepared for war. Today we are outproducing nations which de- voted most of their resources to getting ready for war, In Meir. Kampf, Hitler says time and time again that the aemocracies are weak, to fight. The Jap. faith on that supposi for a decade or more spineless, unwilling and unabic anese also pinned abundant tion. This country, along with the other United Na- tions, is showing Hitler how tremendously wrong he was. American industry has done far more than turn its plants from the production of the necessities and luxuries of peace to the production of the instruments of war. It has boldly pioneered new techniques. It has thrown old production preiudices the four winds, Tt s worked on the nothing is impossible to basis that The skeptics prineiple that the assembly- rceessfully applied to the manufacture of fighting airplanes. Ford, Boeing, Consolidated and other plants have proved otherwise in Seattle, San Diego, Willow Run and elsewhere some of the finest military airnlanes the world has almort as swiftly as auto- made in the old days. Skeptics were certain forecasts of tank production were fantastical- ly high. Chrysler and other makers. to the contrary, said, for instance line could never be veer seen are being made mebiles were are today well ahead of the forecasts and are going | farther steadily.. All over the country little as big, are setting new production records in a hundred war-material fields. Delays still occ onally ocenr because of lack of labor difficulties, etc. But those delays grow fewer. There is only one dark spot—merchant ship output. The ship-builders have done an excel- lent job in the face of staggering technical difficul- ties, but the fact remains that United Nations’ losses are somewhat ahead of replacements. For some time delivery of steel plate was behind schedule. However, existing yards are steadily upping their output, and some gigantic new yards, on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, will shortly go into operauon In plants, as well materials, this as in other war fields, some revolutionary changes are taking place in production methods. In the last war, it took close to a year to make the 8,800-ton Liberty ships we used then. A Portland, Oregon, yard recently proauced a 10,800-ton freighter of the standard type we are bui'ding now in 60 days. And it is believed certain that still faster production will soon become ¢ommonplace. The warship build- ing program is reported ahead of schedule. Special emphasis is laid on the production of the destroyers which are needed for convoy Juties, and for protect- ing ships-of-the-line in naval squadrons. And the U. ‘S submarine fleet is growing satisfactorily. | Not until the war is over and the information is | of no use to the enemy will it be possible to tell the | whole story of America’s production effort. What can | be said now is that no nation or group of nations ever |did so much in so short a veriod of time. At the !('nd of last year, Von Ludendorff wrote, in bitter ad- miration, that the United States understood how to | wage war. The cold production figures show that the United States understands it better still, today. We Should Lead The Way (Philadelphia Record) Japanese invasions of the Far East show us in better light than the British in treatment of Orientals. The Filipinos fought bravely with U. S. troops. But the Burmese not only acted as fifth columnists for the Japs; they were organized under Jap officers to fight British and Indian troops. Now the British, have gone beyond this country Chinese seamen. As a result of negotiations between the British Ministry of War Transport and the Chinese Ambas- sador to Great Britain, a new acreement has just been signed covering the thousands of Chinese in the Brit- ish merchant marine. Pay has been raised $8 a month, although it is still below that of British seamen. More important, Chinese seamen will now be allowed two days’ shore leave in England for every month at sea—the same “liberty” given British seamen. ‘This country still excludes Chinese seamen. If a Chinese deserts his ship in an American harbor, the ! ship owner is fined. The result is that the Chinese are denied shore | leave except under guard. A month ago 12 Chinese | seamen, enraged over being imprisoned on board ship | while in New York harber, staried rioting. One sea- man was shot dead { China is fighting with us against the Axis. We‘ can't preach about the Four Frecdoms, and then treat the citizens of one of our allies the way Hitler treats labor in the conquered countries, perhaps learning from Burma, in fair treatment of slave SRl R R Be Patriotic and Grow One (Prince Rupert Empire) Plants used in the making of razor blades are turning out war munitions as well. . This, it has been suggested, may encourage the cultivation of beards. Perhaps Nature intended the bewhiskered and | not the smooth shaven male! A man with a fine crop of facial foliage can cut a gallant figure. In- deed, it may well be that just because of this he will be more sensitive to his powers, mental as well as| physical. There are many styles. He can wear Dun- drearys (suitable for the tall, shapely gentleman), or | ! mutton-chops, or vandyke, or Galway.

Biddle said the matter was ex- amined carefully when U. S. Judge Charles E. Clark of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals wanted to do some additional work for the Gov- ernment, and it was vetoed by the Justice Department Those around the Supreme Court are mystified by Biddle's call, but fome interpret it as the unseen hand of Justice Felix Frankfurter, | a friend of Biddle's, who would like | to see another Court vacancy, es- pecially at-the expense of Murphy NOTE: Meanwhile Justice Mur- phy has received almost universal acclaim for preparing himself for | cventualities in the Army.

Many other, cities nearer 'the industrial areas where these materials finally are used, put in bids for them. But Houston got the plums. LIFE IN GERMANY U. S. diplomats who returned on the Drottningholm relate many significant sidelights on life in wartime Germany. s One is that Germans, among the heaviest, medt eateérs’ in the world, have been forced by the food short- age to turn to' vegetables, and now more vegetables are consumed in the Naziland than ever. Before the war, Germany stdod seventh in vegetable consumption in Europe; now it ranks third. The returned diplomats declare that the food shortage in Germany is becoming an important war fac- tor. Before they left, an order was issued banning the feeding of pota- toes to rabbits, fowl and other domestic animals. Also alcohol has disappeared ' al< most entirely from shops, and what |is sold as liver sausage, a great German favorite, now contallu no liver at all. Another item stressed by the ;e- turned diplomats is the desperate. longing of people in the blackéd-out towns for light.
