Sec Crosby 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.” ★ ★ ★ Texaco Service for Free Defense Stamps ÉCHASE BORbS SALE Western Auto SUPPLY CO.
