Planning Is Necessary.
' ' Program Up To Congress
General Philip B. Fleming, Federal
Works Administrator, recently said
that "precious little" has been done
in preparation for public construction
to provide employment after the war.
General Fleming says that "there
are plenty of ideas floating around,
plenty of pretty pictures and idle
fancies, but you can't build on idle
fimcies. You've got to have draw
ings, you've got to know where, when,
how big, how much."
For some strange reason, the"e is
a strong antipathy to public planning
in connection with meeting the prob
lem which will confront the United
States when the war is over. Con
gress exhibited its hostility to plan
ning by killing the National Re
sources Planning Board without pro
viding a substitute organization Vo
do the important work projected by
that body.
It is perfectly obvious that public
construction cannot be undertaken
without adequate plans and that if
we watt until another un-employmem
crisis is upon us, the lack of propei
planning will cost the nation plenty
of money. As General Fleming says,
"We should have learned our lesson"
and plan for adversity in ime of
prosperity.
Grave Decision Ahead.
Post-War Plan For Pa-e.
What Will U. S. Do?
Twice in a single generation, the
peace-loving people of the United
States have found themselves in a
World War. In both instances the
conflict originated in Europe and
dragged on until the United States
was inevitably involved.
At the conclusion of the first World
War, President Wilson made a stren
uous campaign for the League of
Nations, an instrumentality designed
to prevent future wars. The League
was organized without the United
States and was impotent in world af
fairs largely because of our absence.
The failure of the United States to
join in the League movement was a
result -of politics, pure and simple.
There was, we believe, an overwhelm
ing public sentiment in favor of our
association with other nations in the
interest of maintaining peace in the
world.
Already thinking Americans real
ize that the nation faces the same
choice when the present conflict ends.
According to creditable attempts to
survey public opinion, a vast majority
f the people of this country, both
Republicans and Democrats, are in
favor of international collaboration.
' The Democrats of the nation, under
the leadership of Wilson and Roose
vejt, have generally favored cooper
ation with other like-minded nations
in world affairs. While there are a
few disgruntled and dissentient
Democrats, the' party record is not
only in favor of the League of Na
tions idea but in favor of any other
program that promises the mobili
zation of the gTeat nations in the
interest of peace.
The Republican Party, the benefi
ciary if not the representative of
Isolation sentiment has been sharply
divided on this important question.
Some of its leaders were responsible
for the fight on Wilson's League and
many were extreme Isolationists be
fore Pearl Harbor
The Isolationist has been relative
ly quiet since the United States be
gan to fight but there have been
abundant signs that it will make an
attempt to capitalize the issue for
political profit whenever the oppor
tunity presents itself.
All Republicans, however, are not
Isolationists. Mr. Wendell Willkie
has a record for outspoken support
for full American participation in
postwar problems. He has, in the tnat cou'd he needed and, if the for-
ends.
Perhaps, it would not be wrong to
say that the hope of world peace,
for any appreciable number of years,
depends upon the willingness of the
United States to accept, in the full
est degree, the obligations and re
sponsibilities that are inevitably as
sociated with its position of power
in the world.
If Americans who favor world co
operation, in the interest of world
peace, are divided between the two
major parties, the election will be
decided by well-organized groups who
will be influenced by old-world ties
and long-standing prejudices.
Can We Stand Good News?
Headlines and Adjectives.
"The German home front is with
standing adversity more effectively
than we are accepting successes,"
says Rear Admiral Clark H. Wood
ward, Chief of the Navy's Industrial
Incentive Program.
The Admiral wonders whether the
people of this country have the "will
power to stand up to good news as
well as bad," and the "mature judg
ment to accept the winning of a few
battles without exaggerating their
importance to the war as a whole."
These are fair questions. They
must be answered by the attitude of
the people of this country. This
must be expressed in war work, ac
ceptance of the inconveniences and
wholehearted sacrifices, when neces
sary for the prosecution of the
struggle.
It is almost inevitable that the
average American, reading the head
lines and hearing the broadcasts,
should get the impression that the
war is practically won. Big type and
lively adjectives create confusion un
less the news is carefully analyzed
and its significance carefully consid
ered in connection with the tremen
dous job ahead of the United Nations.
Even allowing for the headlines
and adjectives, however, there is
solid ground for optimism as the
United Nations swing successfully
into a universal offensive and Axis
powers are compelled to regroup their
forces for defense. This is a change
of major importance in the entire
war, revealing clearly the impossi
bility of an Axis victory.
When the war will end remains
uncertain, but how it will end is ap
parent and this fact explains the
surge of confidence which has swept
over the United Nations.
Excess Production Inevitable.
Revfe Foresight, Not Waste.
The War Department announces
that eight Army ordnance plants, in
operation or building, have been put
in a stand-by condition, closed or their
completion postponed because of the
changed war and Lend-Lease needs.
In order to avert criticism, because
of the inconvenience and dislocation of
local communities, the Department
points out that the facilities were
originally planned in order to assure
ample munitions for our forces and
our Allies.
The fortunes of war and the failure
of the enemy to destroy munitions
plants overseas altered the situation
and made it unnecessary to operate
or complete the plants, as contem
plated. It certainly would be extremely
foolish for economy-minded Ameri
cans to lambast the War Department
on the ground of waste and extrava
gance in connection with these plants.
It would have been inconceivable
stupidityto h.ve failed to provide
for the possible misfortunes of war.
This observation applies to all
activities connected with production
of the material of warfare. It is
not possible to estimate with ' cer
tainty the amount of various supplies
that will be needed. Provision must
be made for the maximum amounts

Point Reduction Continued
The prov sion permitting retailers
to make emergency reductions in the
point value of rationed meats, fats,
and dairy produces in imminent dan
ger of spoiling, which was to expire
July 31, hds been extended indefin
itely, OPA has announced.
Binder Twine Supply
An adequate supply of binder twine
is available for this year's harvest of
grain crops, the WPB Binder Twine
Sub-Committee has reported. This
ample supply has been made possible
through the blending of cotton with
henequen to produce a new twine
which has proved satisfactory.
Increase Shoe Supply
To increase the supply of children's
and infant's shoes, and men's work
shoes, WI'K recently amended ordei
M-217 (Footwear) to permit a .25
percent increase in the output of
shoes for boys, misses, children, and
infants. Production of men's work
shoes may be increased by 15 percent
and men's safety shoes by 25 percent.
The order also will permit increased
production of shoes at price levels
where there is greater consumer
demand.
Fewer New Tires
ma er uuotas of new nasspiurpr
i 1 t
I car tires for August and larger quo
tas of used and recapped tires have
been announced by OPA, based on
rationing allotments assigned for the
month by the Office of Rubber Direc
tor. The August quota of Grade 1
tires is the lowest since last April.
OPA officials warned that drivers
who are eligible for new tires may
have to accept used or recapped types
as long as the quota of new tires is
low.
