News Behind the Nevs
By PAUL MJU.LON
WASHINGTON. June 2 In almost the
exact words of this column of June 16,
a senate military affair subcommittee (Kilgorc)
i- announced June 22 that the
t- jfM.. civilian war economy is fast
,. U.T 'K disintegrating and " domestic
i 4 fe front crisis ' has arisen.
..tSST-JtWj !? The committee has discov--v'
? tred wnat wa already evident
Kj-.. to every citizen of the coun
aSS' iS T coming in contact with the
'"TNe" domestic war effort.
5a. 4 Anyone who has ridden on
rii!'-'- trains has noticed the projres
axii: ..e disintegration of trans-
MALLCH porUUon service to the, point
where now soldiers sire.ch out in the titles to
sleep or fold up ill forcidcen vestibules. Women
with crying babies sit on suitcases throughout
the night. Cars are jammed and packed to tne
point where a wreck wouid create a national
scandal.
You can see the saoie Situation in hotels,
restaurants, taxicabs, or grocery stores where
services have been cut as much as 75 per cent,
while prices have been boosted as much as 100
per cent, and continue to rise. Taxicabs load as
many as five passengers, or as many as they
can before the long-suffering public complains
' but, of course, there has been no reduction in
fares. Instead, fees for all services have in
creased. The public obviously is being shoved around
in every phrase of civilian life, paying some
times two, three, and four times the regular
price for greatly inferior service where service
is available at all.
..: -
Government Instigated .
THE government started this, urging civilians
to accept discomfort as a patriotic duty, but
this patriotic duty has been commercialized by
business to the point where now the public is
.; required to accept anything thrown) at it, and
; pay whatever is asked.
-. The selfish, commercial exploitation of citi
; zens in the name of patriotism has reached the
, ; point where it can no longer be ignored, even
: in Washington, where practically anything can
be ignored. The committee is not so specific as
the above cited incidents, but it mentions re
.! curring strikes, gasoline shortages, food produc
tion, fuel restrictions, as leading to "serious
. Impairment of civilian morale."
The remedy suggested by the committee is
; somewhat along the same lines as in the col-
- umn. I recommended that the Byrnes War
; Mobilization board assume complete control
', over the sagging and conflicting government
agencies and work out a complete domestic war
economy limiting food for lend-lease, if neces
; sary; promoting increased foods production; ef
fecting economies in the defense services, etc.
,'' The committee points in the same direction,
demanding that the Byrnes over-all control ap-
' point a board on requirements and another
representing -management, labor, and agricul
ture, to meet at regular intervals and work
' along these new lines of endeavor.
It Is a sensational document even in the
generalized terms in which it was written, al
though it does not seem to have stimulated
much public attention. It says flatly that unless
something is done, our civilian war effort will
collapse and it holds that "a solid home front
Is an absolute necessity." '
"Never in the present war have we had a
genuine requirements committee to scrutinize
.carefully all military, lend-lease, and civilian
requirements," It says.
It points out, as I did, that the Byrnes com
mittee has all the power in the world but
whether that reorganization will amount to
anything depends solely on how strongly the
committee now acts. It "must eliminate contests
for power or the maintenance of prerogatives
(among government agencies) which have been
the cause of disintegration," the committee
says.
Manpower Demands
ON manpower, it demands "forthright estab
lishment of over-all (democratic) manpower
planning" not drafting labor or arbitrarily
uprooting of the population. It follows the
same line as War Undersecretary Patterson,
who, only the day before, complained that a

The Kilgore committee sometimes has been
regarded as an advance trumpeting battalion
for administration action. Only a day after it
advocated formation of the Byrnes over-all con
trol, Mr. Kooseveit acted along similar lines.
This time, it seems even more certain that its
recommendation may herald strong executive
steps, because the need is even more obvious.
The War Today

summer in Europe.

The Associated Press that in their opinion the

But our output now dwarfs that of the
previous -war in every respect, and from Lon
don last night came the encouraging news that
munitions in Great Britain for
the first three months of 1943 was 40 per cent
over the same period in 1942.
Axis production, on the other hand, is bound
to be on the downgrade because of the tons of
bombs dropped on her vitally essential factories
and transportation lines. It is no wonder Ger
many must husband her remaining strength.
Our fliers have returned from their raids
over the Ruhr with stories of the damage
done, but the best evidence that Germany Is
being hurt and hurt badly comes from the
axis radio itself, and from the neutral capitals
of Bern and Stockholm.

Rome Radio Quotes
JUST a few quotes taken from the Rome radio
of last summer are enough to show how
definitely the picture has changed in our

"It is now clear to everyone that the Med

that this is only the beginning, and that attacks
in the future will be even greater. Broadcasts
from London to the conquered peoples of
France, Belgium and Holland have urged them

lactones which produce war materials.
These broadcasts have told the Germans as
well as their helpless slaves that this is only
the start. Perhaps that is the reason the Ger
