CDanid On Accli&ation of
"Men Who Serve Too Long"
$enator W. Lee O'Daniel of Texas
makes an amazing statement when
hi admits that, "Men who serve too
long in Washington get acclimated
to the .Washington atmosphere."
The Texan went to the Senate in
1929. He was re-elected in 1934 and
in 1940. Obviously, three terms are
not enough to "acclimate" him and
it would be interesting to hear him
suggest the number of years per-,
mitted a member of Congress. i
Aside from this observation, the
Texas solon makes his point clear,
asserting that the thought of Con
gressmen becomes "not how best to
serve the people, but how they can
vote to be re-elected."
Undoubtedly, it is necessary for a
"statesman" to be a vote-getter if he
is to pursue a long life of legislating.
With various organizations, even
those representing small minorities,
actively interested in special legisla
tion it is somewhat axomatic that
"wise statesmen" keep in with the
boys who have the power to control
the ballots.
Occasionally, a district or a state
has the honor of being represented
by a Congressman who is independ
ent enough to vote upon the basis of
the principles that he has adopted.
Sonte of these men offend the selfish
groups and go down to defeat but the
nation needs more of them in Wash
ington if American democracy is to
be perfected.
Conference On Moscow Up To
Soviet To Agree
While the conclusion of a satisfac
tory agreement with Soviet Russia
represents the affirmed purpose of
Great Britain and the United States,
it would be foolish for the Anglo
Americans to go to Moscow prepared
to grant every whim, desire and de
mand of the Soviet government.
The Russians are convinced that
they have a just complaint against
the western democracies for delay In
invading Northern France. They
exhibit slight interest ,in the aerial
offensive that is blasting German fn
dustry and dismiss the Italian cam
paign as a street-corner brawl.
We seriously doubt if this is the
attitude of intelligent Soviet officials
and suspect that it is a propaganda
line, skilfully set to make the great
est atch possible;-
Despite Russia's insistence upon
cooperation in' making war. the
Soviet has never taken her Allies into
her confidence. Our military leaders
have little accurate information . as
to the fighting on the Eastern front'
and, even today, depend upon guess-1
work to determine the real causes of
the German withdrawal in Russia.
With Secretary Hull and Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden in Moscow,
it will be possible to ascertain, with
some degree of accuracy, to what ex
tent Soviet Russia desires to cooper
ate with Great Britain and the Unit
ed States.
The conference with Soviet Com
missar for Foreign Affairs Molotov
oueht to go far in revealing the post
war attitude of the Soviet govern
ment. Only with this information
available will the democratic govern
ments be able to decide whether an
agreement is possible, or desirable.
Shipping Situation Improves
Space Inefficiently Used
The United States has some 2,000,
000 more tons of vessels than was
expected to be available for military
operations in 1943, according to a
Senate Military Affairs sub-committee,
which says that this makes it
possible for the United Nations "to
deliver the decisive blow in Europe 60 plants for mining and produc
this year." tion of minerals and metal pro-
The sub-committee recommends ducts,
unified control and direction of all 75 plants for the manufacture of
shipping, with maximum loading of ordnance equipment,
departing ships. It pointed out that' 98 plants for the manufacture of
ships on the run to North Africa
averaged between 20 and 30 per cent
of unused space oapacitv and. at
times from 30 to 50 per cent of un-:
used space capacity. It adds that
experience shows that these figures
can be reduced to one per cent and
fifteen per cent respectively. I
We are unable to appraise the cri-1
ticism because it is often necessary,'
in time of war, to rush certain ships i
across the ocean regardless of wheth-1
er cargoes are available to utilize
full capacity. -
The sub-committee also concludes
that full use is not being made of our
shipping and cites that fact that we
are sending troons overseas at barely
half the rate of speed in the first
World War when our shipping- sup-
ply was far smaller than it is now. i
Concerning this criticsm, there are
certain facts to be remembered. In
the first World War our troops were
sent abroad and our Allies provided
i them with considerable arms and
equipment. In the present war our
, troops, are being equipped, armed and
supplied from the United States.
rJi ' In the present war the amount of
equipment ana munitions that ac-
.company our soldiers is much greater
!; than in the first World War. In ad-
edition, whereas, our troops went over-
v io r ranee in me iaBt war, many

plies. Pipelines, War and Oil
kites Tells of Projects
Gi (.eiivered by pipeline to the
Atlantic seaboard equals 360,000 bar
rels a day, compared with 66,000
barrels two years ago, according to
Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum Adminis
trator, in a recent review oi ine
statUs of pipeline construction.
Of 18 major projects authorized,
at a cost of $256,000,000, 13 have
been completed. This includes 3,243
miles of new pipe and 2,378 of second
hand.' Construction under way in
cludes 1,310 miles of new pipe and
226 of second hand.
The construction program pepre-,
sents the cooperative effort of Gov-
ernment and industry, with the
United States providing $187,000,000
and private industry $69,000,000.
Mr. Ickes rep-rts that other pro-
jetts, involving reversing the direc
tion of oil flow, affected 3,303 miles
of pipe line. He says that by .spring
or early summer the oil flow to the
east coast will reach 700,000 barrels
a day.
These figures will probably move
some to wonder why there is any ne
cessity for restrictions upon the use
of gasoline. While statistics cannot

Jones Discussess Problem of
Government-Owned Plants and
Their Disposition
Not many Americans appreciate
the extent of the Government's in
vestment 'in industrial plants, prop
erties and facilities for the purpose
of war production.
Naturally, when the war is over,
the Government plans to get out of
active industry as soon as it can, but
the problem of disposing of its prop
erty without unnecessary loss cre
ates complications.
Jesse H. Jones, Secretary of Com
merce, says that in addition to the
billions spent by the War and Navy
Departments, and the Maritime Com
mission in building facilities and
equipment, the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation and its subsidiary,
Defense Plant Corporation, have au
thorized more than $9,000,000,000 for
the constmefcion, equipment or ex-
pansion of 1,753
plants throughout 1
the country for
the production of
war supplies.
Secretary Jones understands the
magnitude ot the task of disposing
"f those properties but he warns,
.nisiness men that they should not
e.xnect to nick uo government-owned
factories at too low prices. He sug-1
gests that business "recognize the
taxpayers' investments when negoti-
ating for government-owned DlantsJ
nronerties sunniica without . '
pecting "too manv bargains." I
Without considering the plantsand
facilities of the War and Navy De
partments, or the Maritime Commis
sion, we call attention to the types of
plants which the Government must
dispose of. According to Mr. Jones,
the 1,753 plants include:
534 plants for the manufacture of
airplanes, airplane engines and parts.
84 plants for the production and
fabrication of aluminum.
35 plants for the production of
aviation gasoline and related pro
ducts. 116 plants for the manufacture of
machine tools.
45 plants for the production and
fabrication of magnesium.
radio and other scientific equipment.
65 plants for the
ships, ship engines and parts.
164 plants for the production of
iron, steel, and related products.
60 plants for synthetic rubber and
tne chemicals and materials
neces-'
sary for its manufacture.
l plants lor the manufacture of
jewel bearings and diamond dies. i
ior me proauction nf ,
hemp and rope fiber
6 pipelines for the transportation
of petroleum products.
The disposition of these plants is a
matter of considerable concern to the
taxpayers of the country. They will
also attract selfish and greedy
business men whose only interest will
he to secure them as cheaply as pos-
sible.- Obviously, government offi-
eials must attempt to safeguard the
interests of the people of the country,
While the people naturally want to
maintain free enterprise, they do not
want this slogan used s a club to
force the liquidation of government
property at bankrupt prices. The
government should dPal fnfriw ,.,.
industry in disposing of its industrial!
noiaingg but' it should nm)i ti,
utmost cooperation in solving the
problem.
Moreover, as Mr. Jones points out
private initiative alone cannot meet

consequently, some collaboration be-

the opinion of Mr. Jones,' many of
the war plants can be converted ,;to
peace-time production and disposed
of in a manner to avoid monopolies
and too much concentration. He em
phasizes that "local people should
have the first call on such plants."
This is a very important observa
tion and it is to be hoped that the
President and the Congress, in de
termining the policy to be followed
in the disposition of war plants, will
make every effort to arrange sales,
leases and terms which will encour
age local people t bid on the plants
in their areas.
