Wash, WHERE WAR HELPED When a few months ago the British and Nether- is governments they had reached a decision to stop the sale of opium in their far eastern announced territories after liberation from Japanese occupation, | few persons realized that the United States, through the expert diplomatic skill of Commissioner of Nar- cotics Harry J. Anslinger, had accomplished something | sought after and fought for for y In a stormy opium conference at Geneva in 1924- 25, the American delegation sought to put an end to opium smoking by restriction of the production of the drug to scientific and medical needs. But the effort ended in dismal failure.

When the United States entered the war, many said we were not prepared. However, there were officials, such as the Narcotics Commissioner, who saw -ahead. When the conflict began, the United Sta possessed many times more than any other country in opium reserve stocks Soon the Japs had taken control of opium pro- ducing regions. Soon after this, certain of the United Nations found they needed the drug badly for medicinal purposes of war, and informal conferences, in which certain foreign officials participated, were held in Treasury offices at Washington Department of State sent to the British, Dutch and Washington Merry- judge-maker, but unofficially order to get rid o lusively entitled to the use for hes credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published ‘Then our does not usually consider himselt assuming that the Virgin Islands says that military demands in 1944 will be “bigger- much bigger--than those of 1943, just as the offensives of the United States will be bigger.” This annonce- ment will come as a surprise to many people who have been led to believe that more liberal provision seds. There is, indeed, a puzzling element in the announcement. For it would appear that the country has about reached the limit of its over-all productive capacity, judging from the almost stable level of the Federal Reserve Board's industrial production indices. How, then, is it possible for a larger proportion of the national output to be diverted to war uses in 1944, if more mat: nd supplies are to be released at the same time for civilian use? The cause of confusion is plain. Mr. comparing average over-all war production for the entire year 1943 with the anticipated average over-all war production of the coming year. Judged by such standards, the American people will undoubtedly have to put forth mech greater efforts and make much t acrifices in 1944 than they did in 1943. How- | [ uch comparisons tend to exaggerate the onerous- | ness of the task immediately ahead of us because we have been steadilly increasing our output of many kinds of war materials and equipment during the past | year, with the result that current production rates for such goods jare extraordinarily high.

Letters from overseas should bring good news. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Thou- sands of workers in war industrie: d'ucharged' because of an over- abundance of production, will seek new employment. Many women will find home tasks satisfying. NATIONAL ISSUES: Investiga- tion will discover that sensational Manufacturers that the 1944 over-all production | schedules call for performance even higher than our current rate, he subsequently qualified that assertion. | | After indicating that revisions of the production plan | were in prospect, he added that in his opinion, “barring | unexpectedly early termination of the war in the | European theatre, such revisions will not substantially | reduce our 1944 production BELOW PRESENT LEV- |ELS.” (Caps ours.) There is no need to exaggerate the magnitude of the task ahead. It will be a tough job to maintain 1944 war production even at current levels. Indeed, | uch an assignment would be beyond our powers if | es should continue to play havoc with prouction | schedules or other natural or man-made disasters | impede the flow of materials from farms and mines to factories. The work of the coming year is not aimed pri- marily at increasing the total amounts of goods produced for war use. It entails rather a shifting )f production emphasis. In some cases that will antail raising production sights higher than they now are. In other cases it will mean a reduction of | output from current high levels and sometimes a drop below the average level of the’ preceding year. example, Mr. Wilson points out that next year “we | shall be saying to those responsible for aircraft pro- duction, ‘keep the presswe on :give us more.) At | the same time we shall be saying to the shipbuildrs, | Keep your production effort at present levels. And we shall be saying to the producers of equipment for the ground army, ‘Cut down production’” In some respects that will be a harder program to carry out than one that calls upon all war industries for greater output, because theére is likely to be a good deal of lost motion, and loss of working time, resulting from the shifts made necessary by constant revisions of production plans. lest political friends.
