contracts to bé let in the next few months, ficials are somewhat concerned over the fact that there are virtually no reserves of skitled labor in the country, even though the volume of production for the armed forces is still very small. There is the suggestion that manning our war industties may be as hard a job as manning the tanks, planes and other military equipment. This is, of course, nomsense. If the oecasion requires, ihe supply of labor can be shifted from non- esséntial to essentia¥ jobs. This will »| Mean, of course, that some civilian pro- duction will have to be curtailed. Meanwhile, the heavy industries, which will handle much of the war con- tracts, and other producers of war materiel, are looking hungrily for the contracts o2- casioned by the national emergency. The seent of war profits is in the air. Every producer knows that the billions to be spent for preparedness will mean tre- mendous profits to business. So far, no business man has suggested that any cor- poration make a contribution toward ihe safety of the nation. With young men being called from their jobs and families to be trained for war and with other young men _ being wounded and killed daily in battle, it is net too much to expect that businéss should make some sacrifice along with the rest of the country. It is not a foolish idea to expect business corporations and individual enterprise to do something for the general welfare without putting the emphasis upon large and unusual profits. We do not see anything wrong with the suggestion that every producer of ar- ticles needed for warfare be required to turn over a part of its production without profit. In fact, the opportunity exists for sdme smart corporation official to set a patriotic example by making an offer to serve the needs of the country without exacting a profit.
