tanks between the U. 8. and British armed forces. I‘Mh’tflnd, of his tank problem. Allotting tanks to the British im this country is one thing, but delivâ€" ering them across the Atlantic is another. | In fact, the problem of transportâ€", ing large numbers of 32â€"ton tanks, is the toughest shipping problem‘ maritime experts have faced since the magnetic mine, which ravaged shipping until the deâ€"magnetizing deâ€" vices were evolved. i In a nutshell here is the problem: For every shipload of light 12 ton tanks sent to England or Africa, the same ship plus nearly threeâ€"fourths of another ship would be required to transport the same number of 32â€" ton tanks. In other words, they are bigger. Translated into specific figâ€" uresâ€"that 26â€"ship convoy which landed 560 light tanks at Alexandria three months ago would have had to consist of 44 vessels to carry the same number of medium tanks. With shipping scarcer than hen‘s teeth, a difference of 18 ships is an extremely important factor. Also, the necessity of traveling in slow convoys further reduces the amount of shipping available. Some experts estimated this reduction as high as 50 per cent. In addition the British sometimes take an excessively long time to unload cargoes. So the tank problem thus also beâ€" comes an acute shipping problem. One bright spot in the situation is the great reduction in ship losses in the last 60 days since the extension of the U. S. neutrality patrols. But the basic problem of securing more cargo bottoms still remains. Note: Since January 1, U. S. shipâ€" yards have turned out a total of 56 First of all the cut looks a lot bigger than it actually is For one thing the OPM carefully did not reâ€" veal in its hoopla press releases was) the fact that even with this m auto â€" production | still will be 10 per cent greater than in 1938 and 1939. « For months war department heads pleaded and argued withâ€"OPM moâ€" guls for drastic curtailment, on the ground that the material going into pleasure cars are desperately needâ€" ed for planes, tanks, ships, guns and other vital armaments. But for months the OPM masterminds did absolutely nothing. OPM‘s reaction was to hit the ceilâ€" ing. It refused to accept the ruling. And while OPM battled behind the scenes with OPACS, autos continued to roll off assembly lines in recordâ€" breaking numbers, However, Henâ€" derson‘s bareâ€"knuckling finally took effect. The 26% per cent cut is a little less than half of what the army and Henderson wanted, but it is 6% per cent more than OPM‘s original figure. TANKS FOR BRITAIN Some time ago the Merryâ€"Goâ€" Round revealed that a chief objecâ€" tive of Lord Beaverbrook‘s visit was to get more tanksâ€"tanks for Iran; tanks for Egypt, tanks eventually for an invasion of the continent. Beaverbrook particularly wanted the new powerful 32 tonners that soon will roll off the Chrysler assembly line at the rate of 450 a month. In other words, notwithstanding the increasing shortage of strategic raw materials, such as steel, rubâ€" ber, alloys and other metals, auto production is to continue at levels higher than in the peaceful years of *38 and ‘39. Another reason for the army gloom was that it wanted an immeâ€" diate cut of at least 50 per cent. Finally, in July, scrappy OPACS Director Leon Henderson, who has seen eyeâ€"toâ€"eye with the army on this issue from the start, took the bull by the horns and ‘"ordered" a 50 per cent slash, It can now be revealed that the British supply minister will not go home empty handed. He will take back with him very cheering assurâ€" ances regarding the division of these carg Dr. I. Lubin, brilliant White House defense expert, is the most "officed" official in Washington. He bas an office in the White House, another in the labor department as head of the bureau of labor statistics, a third in the labor division of OPM, and a fourth in the treasury as an adviser to Secretary Morgenthau. praises for their big job in filming 100 reels of army training films. This was the first time training films have ever been taken, and Hollywood did them for 40 per cent of what it would have cost Hollywood itself to do the job. In other words, the army only had to pay union labor and cost of film. Hollywood supplying the stuâ€" dios, production, overhead and evâ€" erything else.

The latest outâ€" break of the kind is the cry of reâ€" sentment raised against Britian for ant against their common foe, the For over twenty years the Rusâ€" sians were guilty of the fault. After their â€" successful revolution, they startled the world with a warâ€"cry against England and this country as mortal enemies of Communism. They were so infatuated with their own Morxion idealogy that they were totally blind to the fact that it was the successful war of Engâ€" land, France and the United States against Germany that made possible their successful revolution against the Romanoffs. The prejudice affecting our people is that of a moral revulsion to association with a government that has been guilty of what has apeared to us as ruthless assassinaâ€" tions and cruel oppressions of perâ€" sonal freedom and private property. This is a sort of willingness to sufâ€" fer for one‘s faith and one‘s moral ideals a very praisworthy form of beroism. As a matter of fact it is the first step to martyrdom. If one looks back in history he will find nations and thousands of individuals persisting in martyrdom | rather than give up their ideals. But one also finds that it all now seems a sort of foolhardiness, It is doubtful of a single martyr ever added an iota to the betterment of man or the progress of civilization. On the other hand, there is such a thing as reasonableness, one too often sees gross, inhuman stupidity in martyrâ€" dom and loyalty to faith and idealâ€" ism. The Egyption will not brush flies away that feast on their inâ€" fants because, say they, "God made flies and it is God‘s will to let the flies alone." The situation in the world today is that three nations of people have turned pirates. The Russians are now sacrificing themselves, perâ€" kaps by the hundreds of thousands, in attacking the chief nation of pirates. Simple reasoning informs us that it is good and that it will be a blessing if the Germans are stopâ€" ped by the Russians. And that reasonable people always did and always will choose the least of two evils. If Russia stops Germany, we can go back.to arguing about capiâ€" talism and Communism, &. lesser «ivil by far, thus submittinig to pirates. Alfred J.
