Washington, D. C.
LATEST ON CIVILIAN GOODS
The Truman committee is about
to issue a report which will be good
~news to manufacturers, to say noth-
~lng of the housewife who has been
scrimping along with a worn-out re-
~frigerator, no washing machine and
an electric iron that blows out fuses.
The Truman committee will rec-
ommend that the War Production
board go much further than the
army has been willing in restoring
production of civilian goods. The
committee will not urge anything
near unlimited production, but it
will point out the following impor-
tant facts:
(1) War contracts are being can-
celled at, an increasing rate. The
war department cancelled 10~/~ bi~
lions in contrasts as of January 31.
while the navy cancelled 2Va bil-
lions up to February 5. This means
more factories and more men avail-
able for civilian production.
(2) Tremendous stockpiles of steel
and other materials have been ac-
cumulated-far more than can be
used for the war. Already alumi-
num plants with a capacity of a
hal,-billion pounds a year have been
closed because the tupply of alu-
minum is so great.
(3) The military was slow in cur-
~LUing civilian production. Now it
tm elm in letting the country get
back to civilian production.
Therefore, the Truman committee
a'ecommends that while we cannot
"'soon restwne full-Scale civilian pro-
ductiom, we can produce limited
quantities of a few score additional
items clelsifl~ am ~Mmtial.'°
SOME REt~4LL~G FIGURES
The tm~ Truman commit-
report will reveal that 100 big
corporations hold 70 per~ cent of all
the war orders; furthermore, these
100 flr~ companies of the nation
had only 80 per cent ot the country's
business before the war--and the
Roosevelt administration was sup-
posed to help the little fellow!
Norman LittelL hard-hitting assist-
ant attorney general, will get a boost
from the Truman committee for hur.
tYing up government payments to
the farmers and others whose land
was seized by the army and navy.
~Fne committee will recommend that
all government purchase of land be
handled by Littell.
American labor doesn't look so
bad when contrasted with British
labor. The Truman committee will
find, despite the national service act,
long operating in England, there
were 1,638 English strikes involving
a manpower loss of l,ff/8,000 man-
de ys. Taking into account the iarg.
er population of this country, U. S,
strikes were only .025 per cent worse
than England--even without a na.
tional service act.
President Roosevelt didn't know it,
but the Truman committee had pre-
pared some devastating evidence
supporting him on one of the most
controversial phases of the tax bill
--renegotiations of war contracts to
recapture excess war profits.
Nevertheless, all the members of
the committee except Mead of New
York, Kilgore of West Virginia and
Wallgren of Washington voted to
over-rlde his tax bill veto.
LOUIS BROMFIELD, THE
PROPHET
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wtekard is chuckling over a letter
he has reeelvel from the Reader's
Digest, signed by William Hard Jr..
associate editor. It is the last., pa-
thetic note of a correspondence be-
gun last summer when the Digest
published the Louis Bromfield arti-
cle, "We Aren't Going to Have
Enough to Eat."
At the time. Wickard wrote to the
Digest. refuting Novelist Bromfleld.
offering to write an article to tell the
other side of the story and saying
we would have plenty to eat. But
the Digest declined to bear the other
side.
They confided privately to Brom-
field that they were embarrassed by
reactions to his story, but publicly
they stood on his gloomy forecast.
He had said: "I would rather not
think about next February. By then,
most of our people will be living on
a diet well below the nutrition level."
February has now come and gone.
~eople are eating well despite Brom-
field. American farmers have writ-
ten the refutation. Actually, we have
a greater accumulation of stored
foodstuffs than at any time in his-
tory.
Wickard couldn't resist the temp-
tation to rib the Digest, and
recently sent to Editor DeWitt
Wallace a few figures about the
overflowing granary. In reply, he
received merely a short note from
William Hard Jr., saying, "Mr. Wal.
,lace is home, fighting off a cold."

You hear a lot of talk about mo-

found many people who knew
exactly what "morale" was?
Well. I was thumbing through
my scrap book the other day,

to pass on to you...
It's the lift you get from a friendly

A brand new hat in a Jaunty style...
A letter from home that the post-

Morale is a lot of little things.
Isn't it so? Morale/s just a lot of

From where I sit, ff we take

And we'll boost morale among

to returning to.
