PAGE TWO The Home Front This job of organizing all' our peo ple and all' they own to defeat the Axis is a big job, the biggest job we’ve ever tackled. You might put it this way; you might say we are making the Ship of State into a Ship of War —a warship with a crew of 132,000,000 souls and more than enough ammunition in its magazine to blow Hitler and Hirohito and II Duce off the face of the earth (only first we have to get the ammunition on deck). That’s the job we have taken on and we know we are going to do it, too. It looks like a very complicated job, and it is complicated in many ways when we get down to cases; when we begin to consider what’s to be done with this industry or that, or how best we can use a certain scarce metal or some other material. But basically the job has a simple pattern, and this is it: (1) Take care of really important civilian needs—the really important ones like food and fuel and clothing’ and necessary transportation, not the ones we used to think were important in the old, soft days. (2) Concentrate everything else— men and machines and materials — on the work of war ... Everything. (3) See that all people get a square deal, control prices, guard against inflation. Because if we were to permit runaway prices and inflation we would be putting a wea pon into the hands of our enemies. From the way things have been going in the past few days it looks as though a lot of the folks who would like to make an extra penny out of the country’s need, who’d create artificial scarcities or cash in on real ones if they could, are going to find pickings Slim and trouble plenty. This isn’t 1917-18. The Office of Price Administration has the duty of watching against in flationary price rises and batting down profiteers, and OPA has been very busy lately. When OPA Administrator Leon, Henderson slapped a price ceiling i over washing machines and ironers the other day it was the fifth impor tant schedule of maximum prices in the field of what are called “consum er durables” (that means things that are supposed to last and, with the war on, they’d better. Previously OPA had set prices over radios and automobiles, cooking and heating stoves, wool floor coverings . . . The war brought speculation in kitchen staples, in tea and pepper and cocoa, forced prices to levels unjusti fied by* supply. We have two years’ supply of pepper in the warehpuses, a great deal of tea. Cocoa we get from Brazil and West Africa. Afri can shipments are expected to be re sumed soon. OPA moved in on this situation, too. OPA fixed sharply lower max imum wholesale prices for tea, an nounced schedules containing lesser reductions for pepper and, cocoa. OPA moves in with price schedules . wherever it sees signs of inflationary | pressure and prices. It moved in on Southern hardwood lumber last week, 1 for instance, and on bed sheets and Nylon hosiery. j The time is coming when women won’t be able to buy any more Nylon stockings. That’s because the Army j and Navy, as silk stocks become ex hausted, turn more and. more to Ny lon for such special purposes as making parachute cloth. The time is coming, and that soon, when Amer ica’s women will be wearing stockings made of rayon and cotton —already WPB has ordered rayon producers to set aside a larger proportion of their March output for the hosiery trade. But in the meantime, as stocks of Nylon hosiery dwindled, demand in creased. So did wholesale prices— on a scale which OPA termed pro fiteering and inflationary. And OPA set a ceiling over the wholesale price of Nylon hose, warned that retail prices were as high as they can be permitted to go. Women’s stockings also figure in a WPB order designed to save 7,000,000 pounds of boxboard and paper. It specifies that stockings be packed without individual wrappings, and double the usual number to the box. WPB also acted to save more tin by cutting the amount of tin coating which may be applied to tin cans and WPB’s Bureau of Industrial Conser vation got tough about the vast piles automobile graveyards. WPB wam of scrap metal lying in the Nation’s ed operators of these graveyards that where they reject “fair offers” for their collection of jalopy carcasses they may face requisition of their entire yards including all used parts. Plans for a “Victory Model” refrig erator follow hard on the debut of the “Victory Bicycle ...” Expect more of these “Victory Models” in machinery and household appliances, models stripped of all accessories, using subeitutes for strategic metals wherever possible . . . Chromium which is used to put an added shine on so many of these appliances; which typified a period almost as much as the automobile, now has been allocated entirely to war pro duction. ...

There’s mica in the U. S. A. and in j South America but splitting it into j “blocks” or “sheets” is difficult te dious work . . . Ceramics can be used as a substitute in some electrical work . . . and we’ve plenty of clay . . Because panic buying wnich fol lowed air raid threats on the West Coast has subsided, OPA revoked ceilings for flashlights . . . Army and Navy needs for goatskins, kidskin and cabretta (cabretta’s the skin of , “hair” sheep) moved WPB to ask the i industry to save skins by using new methods, substitute one . . . The skins are used for shoe uppers—especially in women’s shoes, gloves, leather goods . . . Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands may use molasses to make rum up to 90 per cent of last year’s production. That’s because it’s one of their major industries . . . Even the Army is saving rubber, putting less of the crude product into gas masks, eliminating sponge rubber seats from its “Jeeps” . . . Director of Defense Transportation Joseph B. Eastman tells what’s apt to happen as the rubber shortage catches up with motor transportation, as , mili tary demands upon the railroads grow . . . Says Mr. Eastman bluntly: “Shoe leather will have to take the i place of rubber . . . The civilian pop ulation will find it necessary to sub stitute leg power, afoot or on bicy cles, for bicycles for much gas pow er ... ” Recommended to those who I talk about “insurmountable difficul ! ties to rapid conversion of industry, WPB Production Division Director 1 William H.

Stocks of most staples are at or near record levels, floors under farm prices protect farmers who are going to make this an all-out year in agri cultural production.
