Wake. Up
America
. . . Its Late!
An Editorial from tho Niw York World-Telegram
March 5. 1942
THE nation needs to awaken to the full gravity of
the peril that confronts it.
It needs to appreciate how badly we have been
defeated in three months of war.
It needs to understand that It Is possible for the
United Nations and the United States to lose this war
and suffer the fate of France and that this possibility
may become a probability if the present tide does not
change.
It needs to realize that there is grave chance of
the Japanese pushing through India and the Germans
driving through the Near East, to Join their armies and
resources in an almost unbeatable combination.
It needs to get away, once and for all, from the
comforting feeling that while we may lose at the start
we are bound to win in the end.
Onlv when fully aware of existing perils will the
United States do its utmost. Pray God that awareness
will not come too late, as it did in Francel
Production Director Donald Nelson appeals for
vastly increased industrial output on a 24-hour, seven
day basis 168 hours a week. Maximum production,
in short.
Can we get it?
Not on the present basis not under the psychology
of recent years. ,
Not until we quit thinking in terms of less work for
more money.
Not while there Is greater concern about overtime
pay than overtime production.
Not while farmer politicians are more Interested
in higher prices than raising more essentials.
Not while government bureaus created to meet
a depression emergency that is ended continue to
grab for themselves money needed for armaments.
Not while an army of federal press agents clamors
to promote and perpetuate activities that have no
present need or value.
Not while Congressmen try to put over useless
canals anc" river schemes and take up the time of de
fense officials clamoring for factories and contracts as
if war were a great gravy train.
Not while WPA, despite a shortage of labor, seeks
to carry on projects which it doesn't have the men to
perform or the need for performing.
Not while CCC and NYA stretch greedy hands for
funds to pamper young men who ought to be in tha
armed forces or the war plants.
Not while strikes hamper war production, despite
J k
II
-olemn promise that they would stop.
Not while the life-and-death need for uninterrupted
production is used as a weapon to put over the closed
shop.
Not while double time is demanded for Sunday
work which is only part of a 40-hour week.
Not while a man can't be employed on an army
proect or in a war plant until he pays $20 to $50 or
more to a labor racketeer.
Not while criminal gangs control employment and
allocation of men to work on the Normandie and the
other ships along New York's vast waterfront.
Not while fifth columnists are pampered and enemy
aliens move freely in defense areas.
Not while the grim Job of preparing our home com
munities against air raids and sabotage is gummed up
with a lot of high-falutin', boon-doggling social service
activity.
Not while pressure blocs clamor for higher bene
fits, bounties and pensions.
We will not get maximum production, In short, un
less, first, we fully realize our awful peril, and, second,
get over the gimmes of recent years.
Gimme shorter hours, gimme higher wages, gimme
bigger profits, gimme more overtime, gimme less
work, gimme more pensions, gimme greater crop bene
fits, gimme more appropriations and patronage, gimme
plants for my Congressional district, gimme fees and
dues to work for Uncle Sam, gimme ham 'n' eggs,
gimme share-the-wealth, gimme $30 every Thursday.
France had the gimmes, too had them till the Ger
mans were close to Paris. Then everybody went fran
tically to work too late.
France has no gimmes today except gimme food
for my baby, gimme place to lay my head, gimme
death. .
