NAVY TRADE TRAINING GAVE ME MY START’ SAYS PRESIDENT, SPERRY CORPORATION O w /te e ?, i limili a hi mu hi hi ti in u u : 111 hi hi m iii . hi turan m „mm m i iiiiiii hi hi un mau m n hi hi ii hi hi m Th? pre ident, speaking by radio, said "The choice we have to make is this: Shall we make our full sac rifices now, produce to the limit, and deliver our products today and every day to the battlefronts of the entire world? Or shall we remain satisfied with our present rate of armament output, postponing the day of real sacrifice — as did the French — until it is toe late? "T h e first," the president said, “ is the choice of realism realism in terms of three shifts a d: y: the full est use of every vital mz hine every minute of every day and every night; . . . staying on <he job and getting things made, ar. 1 entrusting industrial grievances tc the estab lished machinery of cci’ ive bar gaining . . . The second choice is the approach of the blin:’ . . . for them there is still ‘plenty of time’ . . And their tombstones would bear the legend ‘Too late’ . . . ” In a statement issued regarding civilian defense week November 11- 16, the president said "Each „And every citizen as a civilian must jdo his share for defense . . We must halt the waste and unnecessary use of critical materials required for de fense. W e must werk longer hours . . . And each of us must be trained in some task that is essential to our total defense . . . ” LEND-LEASE AID T h » president arranged a $1.000,- 000/' 0 loan to Russia under the lend- lease act. The loan carries no interest. Repayment — partly in materials — will s f '- t five years af ter the war ends and <s to be com pleted in 10 years from that time Observing the 24th anniv-'-ary of the soviet revoluticn. the p— tdent telf graphed the soviet gcvrnr’ ent, “ I am confident that the sacrii and sufferings of those who hav the c-urage to struggle against ag gression will not have been in vain.” The navy authorized construction of 50 escort vessels for transfer tc Great Britain under the lend-lease act at a cost o f $300,000.000. The state department announced a lend- lease agreement with Cuba involving an undisclosed amount of U. S de fense supplies for that country and supplies of sugar, tobacco and man ganese in return. OTHER FOREIGN R ELATIO N S State Secretary Hull announced the U. S. transmitted to Finland a peace offer from the soviet union with the advice that Finland must give evidence of willingness to dis continue military operations against Russia if Finland wishes to keep U. S. friendship. Mr. Hull also an nounced that if Germany does not now pay $2,967,000 damages for the sinking of the Robin Moor, the claim would be grr ped with other pending cases f ; r adjustment after the war.

Salinas, navy oil tanker, reached port safely and without 1 m s of life despite serious damage from a tor pedo the night of October 29-30 while in a convoy near Iceland. The navy revised its list of casualties on the destroyer Reuben James to show two known dead and 98 missing and given up for dead. The vessel was torpedoed while conveying near Ice land. There were 45 survivors. N AV Y STRENGTHENED The president transferred the en tire coast guard to the navy depart ment and asked congress for an ad ditional $449,820,000 for the navy. The coast guard transfer gave the navy 230 patrol and auxiliary ves sels and a large number of in-shore and port craft. SHIPS B U ILD IN G The navy reported that during the first 10 months of 1941, keels were laid for 115 new combatant ships, 34 ships were launched and 25 ships were commissioned. The raritim e commission reported the first three Liberty cargo ships will be delivered the week of November 18. The commission has so far aunched 148 new ships and deliver ed 118 as result of its long-range and emergency programs. ARM Y PROGRESS The war department reported the -ate of delivery of critical arma ment and ammunition to the army by June, 1942, will be 360 times the rate during May, 1940—when $1.000,- 000 worth was delivered. The rate, the department said, increased 40 times by June of this year, 60 times •y September, and 80 times by Oc her. The army also announced in- -r ase in the rate of training of mo- ’ or maintenance officers by four Himes, battalion commanders and communications officers by 100 per cent, and aircraft warning service men by 900 per cent. The army al so reported the rate of accidents in military flying during the past year remained unchanged despite great ly increased training and tactical flying and use of new and faster ships. FUEL C OORDINATOR The president appointed Interior Secretary Ickes to coordinate the information regarding solid fuels (coal, ccke, woojl, etc.) as well as oil end to m:.ke recommendations tc the suuply priorities and alloca tions board as to production, stor age, transportation, marketing and other phases of the relationship of fuels to the defense program. The SPAB refused priority assistance for construction of a pipeline from east Texas to Bayonne, N. J., and said its action “constituted a final dis- approval." Mr. Ickes announced 15 U. S. oil tankers were released from British service during October and 25 more will be released this month. POWER The president asked congress for $30,000.000.000 for additional power facilities in the Bonneville power system because “ a critical power shortage in this area is now immi nent.” The OPM postponed from November 10 to November 17 the planned 30 per cent power curtail ment for non-defense industries in six southern states. PRICES Price Administrator Henderson asked heating and cooking stove manufacturers not to increase prices above October 24 levels and radio and radio-phonograph manufactur ers not to increase prices above Oc tober 1 levels. He said price pro grams are being formulated for both industries. The house passed and sent to the senate a bill which would freeze apartment, house and hotel rents in the District of Co lumbia as they were cn January 1, 1941. M ATE RIALS Lessing J. Rcsenwald, chief of the OPM bureau of industrial conser vation. announced the government will soon begin a series of contin uous campaigns to seek out unneed ed household rubber, iron, alumi num. paper, steel, copper (which OPM said this week was more scarce than any other needed ma terial), lead. zinc, and cotton and wool.
