There has been considerable criticism of this policy although, in our opinion, the emergency justified the procedure. Never- theless, the coricentration and centraliza- tion of industry was greatly increased by the placing of orders with giant corpora- | tions. . It has been noted that seventy-one per cent of the first $8,000,000,000 of defense contracts were placed in twenty cities and their immediately adjacent areas and sixty- eight per cent of the first $10,000,000,000 of defense contracts were awarded to thirty | corporations. The situation has now changed, ac- , cording to Donald M. Nelson, Direetor of Purchases, OPM, who says that while speed is still imperative, greater consideration can now be given to decentralization in order to better adjust the economic future of the nation. > Tagine the Bible-quoting Huey Lone Eimmcrtalized in marble instead of oil—hot Soil.

Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential candidate in ,. 1940, seldom misses an opportunity to jut support for Britain. He consistently advised the President to take a risx that this course may entail as the lesser evil. Mr. Willkie says that the United States must in- sure the safe delivery of . war materials to the British by, con- voy, patrol, airplane accompani- ment or “whet not”. He insists that “England will win if the in- creased production of the United States reaches the British Isles”. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, who ran for Vice-Presi- dent on the Republican ticket in 1936, accepted an invitation to become a member of the Presi- dent’s Cabinet because of his conviction that the nation was in peril and that it was the duty of all Americans to put patriotic first. He has been: out- spoken in his ¢ffarts tp convince Am ahs thet the ‘Nazi menace threatens to engulf the Western Hemisphere.

Browne this | morning ruled that procedure used to collect $3,500 from the bendmen, Rogelio Gomez and Charles Sawyer, in the Enslow Sawyer estreatment case was technically wrong. The question of the legality of the bond is not in question. There | were two courses of procedure } open to the state for collection of the bond and the quickest was, chosen. Judge Browne ruled the method was illegal, Mr, Stimson points out, in this connection, that if our navy is withheld until the power of the British Fleet and nation is brok- en, the extent and power of its execution would shrink to a small fraction of what the two navies can accomplish at this time.

In February, . out of, 972 planes, 415 were trainers, 25 were commercial airline ships and 68,were other types. This -leaves 464 combat ships for Feb- ruary In-envouncing the April plane production figures, the Office of Production Management gave no details.
