For the past year men close to the 1 President have argued over his views on whether we should send an .expeditionary force to aid Britain, some believing that be is eager to aecome an active ally of Britain and | nthers feeling that he is still bending very effort toward helping Britain win ti-.e war without sending men. Each statement he makes seems to add new fire to the argument, both sides finding phrases which they van interpret to bolster their own views. But the wise-acres who a rear ago predicted an "expeditionary force before Christmas" have iad to admit the President is not rushing us into war and it is the general feeling here that, without ;ome unexpected incident, we will vontinue (or some time our policy if "all aid short o? war." The "short of war" tag on our sledges of aid have been less apparnt recently, but all polls show the ieopic still arc thinking in terms of "short of war" and no shooting is rxpected while the majority of the \ American people oppose it. All polls it' public opinion continue to show J itrong sentiment against an A.E.F.! ["he niosi recent Gallup poll, which j s watched carefully by government I cad pis here, shows f<3 pet cent of he people still opposed to an expelitionary force, although the great najoritv favor all possible aid to 3ntain except men. Reports on our defense production 1 ndicau that output has been accele- I ciita cti n u'.iiicuuuus ruu: ouling he past six months, but theie are till many obstacles in the way of ittaining the production rate of vhich we are capable. Shortage of aw materials is an increasingly dif-j ficult problem. In controlling the | iistribulion of materia), the office of i n-oducticn managemcrit has tried to J eed both the defense factories and be non-defense industries as long as lossible, but in one line after another it has now become a question of flowing up defense production or jutting non-defense industries out >? business. One possible solution, which the I p??M is now trying to work out, is! o aid non-defense industries by hiding dclcnse work toi them to do uid putting aside some of the government buying regulations which vould otherwise make it impossible or small businesses to accept gov riar.enl contracts. It is hoped that his plan will prevent widespread 1 incmpicyment. Labor troubles continue io cause a i ilowing up of production, but, as exemplified m the action taken to set.le the Federal Shipbuilding strike, he government will undoubtedly step m more and more from now on to force the continuation of full production in essential industries. Congressmen from the east arc jeing flooded with protests and suggestions regarding the settlement of mc uu MiuMage piuoil'lll ;n Hlti 68SI rn states. After a 7 p. in. to 7 a. m. purfew on sales by gasoline stations proved to be of little use orders were then issued to reduce by 10 per cent the distributors' sales to gasoline stations. This left the rationing of gasoline in the hands of dealers, who didn't want to be in the position of filling the orders of tome customers and refusing others. Many dealers therefore requested that the government ration gasoline to the customer. Several congressmen from the last feel that the gasoline problem las been handled very poorly, stating that the people of their states would be glad to accept rationing if it is necessary but object to voluntary and half-way plans which have them in a position of not knowing where they stand. "When you see thousands of taxis teeming through the streets of New York city," said ine congressman from New York, 'you can't expect the motorist who ises a few gallons of gas a week to _ x .... uie suoriage very seriously. It is the general consensus of opinion that the public would preer rationing to voluntary methods? jut many statements to congressmen ilso show that the public is followng with close interest the proposal yy a group of oil companies for a pipeline to the east which would nd the need for rationing caused ?ntirely by lack of transportation Facilities.
