The other is called “Kusincvsg as usual.” This is blocked and a figure labeled “American Industry” tells Un cle Sam that “This road's been closed since early in 1941." Th.’ implication is obvious. That U. S. Industry early in 1941 save up “business as usual" and pav ed the way for all-out wai- pro duction. The actual facts show differ ently. It has taken con.'iderable Unwittinjrly. perhaps, tho President last week “froze" the present ]H>pulatic»n of Washinn- lon, n. (’. He cjilied upon ail “parasites" livint? in the Capi tal ('ity to move out and jrive mom to needed workers in de fense activities. This is doubtless an excellent suggestion. There have been parasites in Washington since the designation of uiat Potomac City as tho center of our nation’s government. Some of these para sites have even held high-rank- ing offices. There has been a suggestion that the President’s chair itself has at times harbor ed such ])osts. The nation’s cap ital would be well rid of them all—not only those who have no immediate connection with the Government but a gootl many who make a pretense of being essential. But when the President asks all “parasites” to move out, he is putting each on “the spot.” Who w'ill make the first move away from Washington, thus brand ing himself or her.self as a self- admitted parasite'.' iiLUSTERERS ^EED SILENTING Perhaps the greatest value cf the Roberts Committee rep'.ri on the Pearl Harb-ir attack is to strengthen the faith of the American people in the frank ness, honesty and determina tion of our War Government. The Pearl Harbor sui*prise was fertile seed for wagging ton gues and brilliant second-guess- ers. The Roberts report stabiliz ed the wild rumors, admitted error, and pointed the way to correction. Those who now ques tion the Roberts report and in sist on investigating the investi gators should bcb checked by the American public pulling on theii'!ognize this and remedy it in reins.
