Ray, in the Kansas City Star.
There is disquieting talk concerning “ bottle­
necks” in the defense program. It is obvious that
the time taken in turning plans into production
is dangerously long.
According to commentators, certain segments
of American industry are largely at fault, refus­
ing to go ahead and do their jobs unless and un­
til they are assured of excessive profits, with­
out possibility of loss. Just how accurate these
charges are is not known, as the whole defense
drive is enveloped in clouds of uncertainty.
These clouds must be dissipated. The American
people^ want to know and they are entitled to
know just what groups are putting selfish inte­
rests ahead of the national interest. The greedy
industry, no less than the greedy labor leader
or the greedy politician, must be given short
shrift.
There is no question about the patriotism of
those basic American industries which are essen­
tial to defense— the transportation companies,
the power and light companies, and the majority
of all business. These industries are sacrificing
profits when necessary to the end that the public
good be served. But if there is a purely mercen­
ary spirit in some industries— a spirit which
thinks only o f the big money, and cares not how
they make it the American people will demand
stem action.
There must be profits— no man can build a
plant without feeling that eventually he will
earn enough to pay for it. But there is a tremen­
dous difference between profit and profiteer­
ing, even as there is a tremendous difference be­
tween the sincere labor leader who seeks to ob­
tain for the worker a fair return for what he
does, and the labor racketeer who seeks to ex­
ploit the industries which make employment
possible.
Industrialists, labor leaders and officeholders
who put selfish interests above national interest,
are going to feel the full force o f an aroused
people’s wrath, before this emergency is over.

the services which retailers might be able to ren­
der the country in these days of rapid changes.
A resolution was unanimously adopted. Un­
der it. retail merchandising pledges itself to de­
vote its efforts to preventing an unjustifiable
rise in prices. It will cooperate to the fullest ex­
tent with the proper government officials. And
it also pledges that, so far as it can, it will not
alter past methods and practices in determining
selling prices.
A program such as this provides the consum-
er with vital protection. The nation’s retailers
cannot contro 1 Drices, but they can be a telling
influence in he (lping hold prices at justifiable
levels. They can do much to prevent wild fuctu-
ations, and to maintain price stability. It is the
general opinion that the marketing and pricing
o f all kinds o f goods will be far more orderly
than in similar periods o f the past— and Ameri­
can retailing must be given much o f the credit
for that achievement (industrial New9 Review)
