final outcome of the war, Mr. Big
gers reported good progress in the
program to equip 1,200,000 men and
produce the critical material necei?-J
sary for another 800,000.

The production of small arms, ac
cording to Mr. Biggem, is ahead of
schedule and while there is to be a
great increase of .80 calibre machine
guns, the production chief shys that
the program is now "up to scratch."
Moreover, 1300-ton tanks are being
produced at the rate of one hundred
a month, but this figure will be
doubled by the end of the year - The
production of 26-ton or medium
tanks, took only six months' firom
drafting boards to] finished products
and"is one of the really inspiring
chapters in the history of the Army."
Powder production,- including TNT,
Tuol and other components, remains
a big job but new plants are going
to work on schedule.- The airplane
program' is developing. Production
has almost tripled between, last May
and last month and the. monthly out
put, it is expected, wiU be doubled
before the end of the present year.
Mr. Biggerc admitted that the de

punitive measures, saying, \T don't
believe in a democracy forcing any

are accumulating unwarranted stocks

he says, might. be called hoarding.

not grasped the necessity of utilis
ing all available labor and every
productive tool in the country.

"Some union leaders," he said, "are
impeding the program by sponsoring
unnecessary strikes." This action,
"prompted by selfishness," seems to
be producing a wave of public dis
approval, which in the emergency,
might >faplfr^in some Government
