;".There'are no foxholes offshore"
for the men who storm beaches, de
clares the ofticer, wno adds a warn
ing to the American people that they
must expect that losses in sucn ai
tacks will be heavy.
Gen. Vandegrift says that there is
a difference between an attack upon
a large land mass and a small island,
Recuse in the latter case the enemy
can concentrate everything at the
point of attack.
The operations in the Gilbert is
land were a brilliant success, only
marred by the unavoidable loss of
brave men. The uproar in this coun
try 'over the 1,026 men killed is ex
plainable by the ignorance of our
people in war.
Nto Super-Cargo Planes
When the U-boat menace was at its
worst there was a psychological
stampede toward aircraft, with some
enthusiasts suggesting that the ship
building program be cancelled and
the nation throw every resource into
the building of giant cargo planes.
Luckily, sounder wisdom prevailed.!
The ships were built and the u
boats were beaten. As a result the
flow of men and material to the
fighting fronts is proceeding, at a
pace entirely unsuspected a year ago.
A start was made, however, on a
super-cargo plane program. Henry
J. Kaiser undertook to construct
three sixty-ton flying boats, the first
full-site test model being due this
month. Another was due in March
and the third in September.
The money for the experiment was
put up by the Defense Plant Corpora
tion a government financing agency.
It now appears that the planes will
cost more than expected, the models
will be delayed end there are some
doubts whether wood will prove suit
able. For Whke-CoUarUreup
Economic pressure upon the so-
called white collar group will be in
vestigated by a Senate sub-commit-:
tee, which will hold hearings in!
Washington on January 25-27th. j
It is estimated that millions of I
Americans have been caught in the j
squeeze between frozen incomes and ;
increasing prices. They are unor-
panized and hence unable to secure
the benefit of the "Little Steel" for-i
mule, which serves 12,000,000 organ
ized workers.
Of course, there is now law to pre-1 parties get together on foreign pol
vent the white collar group from or- icy, adopting the same declaration
ganizing for their own economic pro- in order to keep the war out of the
bection. To secure this they will be
inevitably involved in the political
iressure game, which seems to be
necessary these days even in the
solution of economic problems.

To Reduce War Production
in in spring ot 1944
War production, now at a peak, rale
of about $80,000,000,000 annually,
will probably be cut back consider
ably by mid-summer 1944.
The time and extent of the, reduc
tion in output will depend largely
upon the aircraft and naval ship
program. For the present, the de
mand for invasion craft and several
key items is expected to continue
through the first quarter of 1944.
Beginning in the Spring, the re
duced program will probably relieve
ciose to one million workers irom
war plants for the production of
civilian goods. Studies are now un
derway to facilitate the change-over
with the least possible confusion.
Along this line, Fred Vinson, Direc
tor of Economic Stabilization, has in
structed the WPB to determine what
civilian goods , should be produced in
increased volume. The OPA has been
I empowered to revise existing price
schedules to afford "a production
stimulant."
The Vinson program for "adequate
production of essential civilian goods"
will attempt to safeguard the price
structure, if necessary, by requiring
producers with exceptionally high
over-all profits to produce csrtain
needed consumer items and sell them
at cost.

the voters have a right

ment is for frankness and honesty in

The people of the United Stute:

national cooperation and peace, and
then discover, after the voting, that
the isolationist end pacifist minori
ties are to be permitted to sabotage
any and all practical efforts to carry

of national policy. The great powers
fell over themselves signing the doc
ument but Aristide Uriand, French
Foreign Minister, felt that it "lacked
something."
Briand wanted an .article which
would justify the powers in taking
action in an emergency. Our Am
bassador to France, Walter E. Edge,
saw no objection, "provided, of
course, it did not envisage military
intervention of any kind." The
Frenchman was "in accord" on this
attitude which goes far to explain
the military activity that now grips
the world.
Here we have an illustration of the
ill-fated determination of the people
of all the democratic powers to avoid
any commitments that nugnt lead to
war. They over-looked the tact that
this was just what the aggressivey
minded nations wanted.
