In spite of continued emphasis upon the vital im
portance of all-out efforts in production, incidents still
arise that indicate that the American people still do
not understand that 1942 is really a critical year in the
existence of the United States.
Perhaps we are a bit smug behind the thoughts of
all the bombers and guns that our money and industries
are eventually going to turn out. But in the meantime
we have been on the defensive and in retreat—trading
space for time. While 300 days of work were lost last
Monday when workers in one plant refused to work
except for double time, while quibbling and threats to
strike continue in labor, while big industries hesitate
to expand for fear of afterwar conditions—while these
attempts were being made to keep some semblance of
“business as usual” the axis were gambling against
time—stretching their lines thin ana making impress
ive offenses.
It would be well to heed the words of Donald M.
Nelson of the War Production Board who recently
stated. ‘‘Every weapon we make today is worth 10 that
we might produce next year. . . . The- job will take
brains and initiative, but we can do it if we go out with
a will, if we stop thinking about what we’re going to
do to the enemy in 1943 and start thinking about what
we’re going to do to him in February and March of
1942.”
