During these war years we produced $186,000,000,000 worth of weapons and supplies. The staggering nature of this total is apparent when it is. remembered that it is almost three times as large as the average annual production of goods and services for all civilian uses béfore the war. Despite this huge volume of goods diverted to war, the civilian economy had available more commodities and services than before the war. Mr. Krug properly points out that we have suffered “inconvenience rather than hardship” on the home front. Mr. Krug also emphasized the key role played by the Government in guiding, regulating and financ- ing private enterprise in its effort to achieve maximum production. In the handling of these controls WPB had the key role. It was through its priorities, alloca- tions, authorizations for plant expansion, production planning and related controls that our industrial | equipment was mobilized for war._, While many “squeaks and rattles” developed also in connection ernment was n:! going to try the virtually im- ible task of planning the myriad details of peace- time production. So effectively has WPB kept this pledge that it has deliberately signed its own death warrant. Early next month the few remaining con- trols will be shifted over to the newly created Civilian po: Production Administration and WPB will have de-| parted from the sceme. The best testimonial to the wisdom of the policy is found in the growing evidence that reconversion is taking place faster than had been anticipated. All observers seem agreed on this point In peace as in war, WPB has served us well Negroes in Baseball (Washington Post) I ik ball of Jackie Rob- be worth close attention t of whether all the recent laws and s uimed at an end of racial discriminaticn really 1 change of popular feeling. Robinson has signed a contract to play next season for the Montreal Royals of the International League, but if his abilities warrant and his services are needed, he will be claimed by the Brooklyn Dodgers, since the Montreal Club is a part of the Dodger syndicate. The"success of this great innovation will depend not only on the attitude of the crowds, and the con- sequent effect on attendance figures, but also on the attitude of Jackson’s white colleagues. A high propor- tion of todays professional baseball players is from the Southern States. Mcst of them, it may be assumed, share the general views of their compatriots on the interracial question. On the bench, in the clubhouse, gnd while traveling ball players are brought together under conditions of rather close physical intimacy, and this might tend to aggravate prejudice or resent- ment where it already exists. As a result, a general defection of Southern players, and possibly of some white players from other sections, is not at all im- possible. Indeed, Branch Rickey, Jr., head of the Dodgers’ syndicate, admitted that the experimesnt may cost Brooklyn some of its players. Some, he said, “will steer away frcm a club with colored players on its rosters. Some players now with us may even quit.” “However,” he adds, “they’ll be back in baseball after a year or two of working in a cotton mill.” Tt is not exactly correct to say that Robinson is the Tirst Negro to play in organized baseball. Many years ago the late John McGraw of the Giants ac- quired a light-skinned young Negro outfielder who was, however, represented to the crowds and to his fellow players as a Cuban. The experiment was not successful. At the same time pure Nordic ances S never been deemed as necessary qualification for a big league ballplayer. Some of the greatest figures in the game have been American Indians, like Bender of the Athletics and Meyers of the Giants. In fact, big league ballplayers have represented every conceivable variety of racial ancestry, except African. For many years the Negroes have had profes- sional leagues of their own, and Robinson had been playing for a club belonging to one of them, the Kansas City Monarchs. This raises a delicate ques- tion in equity. The snatching of Robinson from the Mcnarchs might be considered “raiding,” a practice | ellent ¢ | which, when used against themselves, as in the case, | for example, of the Federal League, the club owners tribution to final victory. | have considered highly unethical and reprehensible. 4 ”: A general competition among major and minor league WPEB not only helped during the war, but by its | club owners for the best Negro ball players would | prompt relaxation of controls it has made an impor- | certainly wreck the Negro leagues and with it the not | tant contribution to peacetime production.
