WAR:
Production
On New Front
Returning foreign correspondents,
m aking a junket of the defense pro­
duction industries as guests of the
w ar departm ent, found that airplane
m otors, considered one of the poten­
tial bottlenecks, are being rushed
into production a t one plant in Con­
necticut to the tune of 1,400,000
horsepower monthly.
One official of this concern, re ­
viewing what he knew of the po­
tential production of this industry,
predicted that between 70,000 and
100,000 airplane engines will be
turned out during 1941-42.
The total airplane industry, from
a m otor standpoint, should eventual­
ly be turning out 10,000,000 horse­
power a month.
While these producers had no ac ­
curate figures on Axis production, it
was figured that it m ight be be­
tween 3,000,000 and 5,000,000 a month
a t the present tim e, with future
capabilities unflgured.
In addition to the three great
Am erican aviation m otor concerns’
output, the autom otive industry has
been asked for some, and while not
in production yet, they will eventual­
ly contribute a large percentage of
the total.
This turned the pages back to
World War I, when A m erica’s most
im portant fighting airplane m otor,
the Liberty, was turned out in quan­
tity in a leading autom otive factory.
This factory also, by the way, was
m aking the recoil m echanism for the
75-millimeter gun—then a w ar bot­
tleneck.
DRAFT:
"Everything'
A stiff fight against P resident
Roosevelt’s
“d ra ft
everything”
m easure sent to the congress closely
following his “ freedom speech” ap­
peared likely, though the adm inis­
tration forces seem ed willing enough
to modify the m easure from its first
draft.
The P resident softened the shock
of the m easure, which a t first sight
looked like an effort toward a com ­
plete economic dictatorship, by a
later announcem ent that its m ajor
purpose was to p erm it the adm in­
istration to break strikes in defense
industries, which were still a knotty
problem all over the nation.
Both Senator Byrd of Virginia and
Senator Tydings of M aryland had
taken the floor to dem and that the
P resident him self take the leader­
ship in halting strikes. Byrd saying:
“T here are 60 to 70 strikes in de­
fense industries, and new ones are
occurring every day. I don’t as­
sum e the governm ent would want to
take over and operate all these
plants.
“A prohibition against strikes and
com pulsory arbitration would be a
b e tte r m ethod.”
The bill, which in its original form
would give the President, under his
proclam ation of a state of unlim it­
ed em ergency, power to seize and
sell anything in the nation's long list
of priv ate property, found its first
com prom ise offer coming from ad­
m inistration leaders in the form of
a tim e lim it on the P resident’s pow­
ers. together with a proviso that
congress m ust first itself declare a
national em ergency before they
could be used.
Labor-m inded m em bers of both
houses, wildly suspicious of the
m easu re, started th eir own investi­
gation to try to determ ine its origin.

The collapse of the Greco-British
defense of Crete was followed by a
good deal of backing and. filling as
the forces of G reat B ritain won- '
dered where the axe was going to
fall next.
The preponderance of B ritish be­
lief was that it would be in Syria,
and two things happened a t once:
The
British
started
mobilizing
toward Syria and began a ir attacks
on Syrian points, and the F rench
started propaganda efforts to prove
that they needed G erm an aid to re ­
pel British attack.
The British countered by announc- I
ing, via their T urkish friends, that

The observers in this country w ere j
not fooled by tliis sort of diplom atic
byplay, and were able to recognize
the sam e m aneuvers, with some
variations, that had preceded the
G erm an occupation of the Balkans
and the subsequent blitz attack upon
Greece.
B ritain’s plan was not only a de­
laying action, but because of the
peculiar location of the immensely
valuable Mosul oil field, to try to get
into Syria first, while the G erm an
“tourists” w ere still unarm ed, and
to destroy the landing fields there
if possible.

C hurchill’s governm ent, taking a
g reat deal of criticism because of
the C rete disaster, because m any
British people thought the C rete b at­

intensely serious problem on its
hands.
T here were signs th at “ authorized
sources” in B ritain were preparing
the public as gently as m ight be
for a p ractical abandonm ent of the
M editerranean as a naval control
