War As It Relates To Home Front Is Reviewed for Week I (Continued from page one) "To most of us this unity was to I be taken for granted but there wen those, both before and after Pearl Harbor, who thought and spoke dif ferently. These people said we were not alert to the danger, they said we could not convert our industries to war in time to help our allies, they said we could not give our sons freely to the fight for freedom, that we were too soft to accept ration ing. price fixing, and those other measures which meant for all of us an end to "living as usual." But al most every day that goes by dis proves these lies, affords additional proof of our unity in endeavor, a unity to strike terror to the heart of our foe. Probably the most strik ing proof of unity on the home front has been the signal success of the War Porductum DiiVi, a flrKT Which could not have succeeded without the whole-hearted collaboration of management and the worker. Many thought, when the War Production Drive was first announced, that man agement and labor could not work together even to get more tanks and guns and planes and ships and get them faster, but today joint com mittees of management and labor are working together in more than 900 plants of war production and neither side?neither the side of management nor the side of labor has tried to use the plan to chisel something out of the other fellow. Seek Honest Answers The committees tried honestly to find answers to these tfuestions ? How can we get more production1 from our machines? How can we lm- j prove quality of workmanship- How can we prevent waste of man-hours and material0 The President's goals in ships and planes and tanks. and guns hung upon the ability of those groups to find answers to these ques tions. And they have succeeded. That is why War Production Board Chair-! man Donald M Nelson said last week that "there is a new spirit abroad in this land?or perhaps it is just a spirit that was always then " ; And Mr. Nelson added?"Ameri-1 ca today is really beginning to work at full speed for the first time We are just beginning to realize what ! our strength really is W? are just starting to use it " Change Brings Improvements The face, of change?or war time : change?is not always unpleasant. Out of the needs and scarcities of war come, sometimes, new 'wUyg of doing things which are better than the old ways, new shapes and tex i tures and materials for common things which arc better than the old I shapes and forms and textures WPB's Division of Civilian Supply recently called attention to tin- tact I that house furnishings which for- I merly were made of strategically im i portant aluminum and copper and stainless steel now are appearing in I pottery 'and glass and wood and plastics. The stream of American de sign. the drive of American tech-1 nology. has not vanished merely be cause of war. To the campaigns for saving met als and rubber and rags and paper, the campaign for getting these met als and materials back to 1 he plants which will refabricate them, add an other campaign which will begin shortly. This will be a drive to re place the loss of fats and oils from the Far East. There is a ready way of replacing this loss and that is to recover and save the estimated 2, 000.000.000 pounds of cooking fats wasted every year Fats make gly cerine. glycerine helps make the mil itary explosives used by our British Allies and glycerine is important to the recoil mechanism of our own weapons and to the instruments which guide planes and ships on their war-time courses. The house I hold fats salvage program will not i begin until some time in July, ac cording to WPB's Bureau of Indus trial Conservation But when it does, BIC hopes to collect more than half 1 a billion pounds of wasted cooking I fats a year from kitchens of Ameri I can homes, with neighborhood chain I stores, meat markets, and frozen 'food locker plants, serving as cen , ters for collection. It seems that for a whole after the WPB order, forbidding cuffs on trousers in order to save wool for the Armed Services, a number of people bought ready-to-wear suits and trousers, took them out with the trouser legs unfinished and ther\ had a merchant tailor finish the trousers ? i( \rit 11 cuffb The nation might never have known how much trou ble a few will go for so little, had not the WPB Apparel Section called attention to a change in men's and boys' clothing simplications order, which prohibits merchant tailors from finishing trousers with cuffs.
