PRODUCTION LAGS According to Lt. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, chief of the Army Service Forces, shortages of essential materials on the battlefield are lengthening the war because production on the home front has failed this year to meet the demand. One general had to call off 100 bombing missions because he didn’t have the right type of bombs. Another commander had to abandon 3,500 trucks because he couldn't get parts needed for maintenance. On the whole, according to Somervell, the Army is in fine shape with respect to supplies. He might have added that compared to the armies of the Axis, ours is in excellent shape. But the Army is short in about 320 critical items. Production expected during the first part of this year failed to materialize. As a result, production for the second half will have to be expanded further than planned. Hence the recent new regulations in the manpower field. Deliveries during the first six months of this year averaged only a tenth of one percent more than the 1943 average, and deliveries during this June were 25 percent below the 1943 average. To take up the slack and provide the materiel for the final blows in Europe, production must be stepped up to where il Phillips.

To quote Gen. Somervell “This is the final round. There isn't any doubt about that, and if you can give these fighting forces what they need, all the heavy artillery they need, all the trucks they need to haul the ammunition; if you | give MacArthur the tents he needs so he can take |care of his men without stopping to build shelters they'll push along fast enough and everybody is per- | fectly willing to do it.” A Long Way to Go (Cincinnati Enquirer) Few indeed are the heartstrings not touched by the plight of the little girl in Fort Wright, Ky. (be- ‘tween Covington and Fort Mitchell), who is wasting away with an incurable blood disorder. This is evident in the way in which so many people, even in other cities, have tried to help despite the opinion of the nation’s medical leaders that nothing can be done to save her There is no record of anyone ever having re- covered from this particular type of leukemia. The only hope that medical science can offer the be- | reaved parents is the possibility that their little girl might be the first; that someone, somehow, some- where might discover in time a cure for the very rare blood infection that is sapping her vitality. The case emphasizes how far medical science still has to go, despite all of the progress it has made in the last half century. Until the twentieth century, it seems, there was no progress at all. Now new dis- coveries and techniques enable the men of medicine to deal with many situations that were entirely beyond their ken in previous years. The sulfa drugs and penicillin have permitted two long steps forward. But we're almost as much in the dark as ever in the iield of maladies such as cancer, tuberculosis, even the common cold. Aids have been devised, to be sure. But when a person contracts cancer there is nothing you can “take” for it except X-ray therapy or surge: There is nothing a tu- bercular person can ‘“take” that will kill the bug, nothing. he can inhale or have sprayed into his lungs that will halt the infection. At present medical science can only do its best to help his system overcome tuberculosis; the patient either gets over it or he doesn't. Most diseases, in fact, from chicken pox through scarlet fever, merely are permitted to run their course in the patient. The medicines you take are for symptomatic relief, or to render what aid they can while your system fights the malady and wins— or loses. Gréat strides have been made, of course, in the| field of preventive medicine. Science has found it | easier to prevent the contraction of many ills than | to treat them. Witness the shots for diphtheria, smallpox, yellow fever, tetanus, typhoid. But oh, the suffering and misery that might have been averted | had we had some way of immunization against malaria | before our men went into the steaming jungles of the Pacific. We have made great headway. }1 long way to go.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Russia will be not only our greatest post- war customer but our strongest competitor. American leaders in the business world should plan carefully. According to Stalin’s stars there should be close commer- cial bands between the Soviet and the United States. NATIONAL ISSUES: Since the war has demonstrated the power of government to reach the lives of all civilians, reformers in re- construction days will ask why underworld activities are permitted to flourish in American cities.
