This Week in Defense

AID TO BRITAIN, RUSSIA—Lend-Lease Expediter Harriman and Lord Beaverbrook, heads of the U. S. and British missions to Moscow, announced in a joint statement the United States and Great Britain have "decided to place at the disposal of the Soviet Government practically every requirement for which the Soviet military and civil authorities have asked." The President told his press conference his rule of thumb 50-50 allocation of war material production between this country and anti-Axis foreign powers is still in effect on the average. Agriculture Secretary Wickard, speaking in Memphis, Tenn., said this country has supplied or bought for England about half a billion dollars worth of food and "within the next year we expect to ship or buy at least another billion dollars worth." Federal Loan Administrator Jones announced the third disbursement of $15,000,000 on the $425,000,000 loan to Britain. He also announced a second disbursement of $10,000,000 of the $100,000,000 authorized to the Amtorg Trading Corporation, a U. S. Corporation owned by Russian interests. FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN RUSSIA—President Roosevelt told his press conference that W. Averell Harriman, chief of the American Mission to Moscow, has been specifically instructed to take up with the Russian Government the question of religious freedom in the Soviet union. Earlier he issued a statement that "it is hoped that an entering wedge for the practice of complete freedom of religions is definitely on its way" in Russia. POST-WAR INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION — Supreme Court Justice Jackson told the annual convention of the American Bar Association that "at the end of this war we must either throw the full weight of American influence to the support of an international order based on law, or we must outstrip the world in naval and air and perhaps in military force." Col. Wm. J. Donovan, in his present position of the United States, he said, is that this country should have joined the League of Nations which advocated outright sanctions, is "now imposing those very sanctions against half the world in an effort to turn the fortunes of war." INFLATION CONTROL—Price Administrator Henderson, speaking in New York, said that the country is now experiencing the "jagged, irregular price advances" with which inflation starts. Unless inflation is restricted, he said, it will prevent arming and undermine the priorities system because "the getting of materials will depend not on the buyer's need but the sellers greed." He said a doubling of prices means a reduction in value by 50 per cent of every insurance policy, annuity, savings account, pension or other form of savings. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, speaking in Chicago, said the Treasury is converting advert into defense stamps and bonds operating produced by pay increases and bonuses. He suggested every Christmas bonus be paid in defense bonds or stamps. Partially to combat inflation, the President wrote to the Congress to extend the Social Security program to 20,000,000 persons—double the number now covered. Increased payroll taxes under the program will remove additional funds from circulation. TAXATION—Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, in his Chicago speech, also said defense expenditures are "inadequate" and the year has not was "a good start" but not large enough to raise the necessary revenue, check inflation or take the profits out of war. He said the U. S. is "going to be the arsenal of democracy by devoting only 20 per cent if durable goods production, only 14 per cent of national income. The Bureau of Internal Revenue announced it will remove cute dealers attempting to make large profits by representing all the new Federal taxes as larger than they are or by pretending to absorb the taxes themselves when actually passing them on to the consumer. FARMING OUT—OPM Distribution Division Director Odlum called on smaller manufacturers to "drum up a sub-contract on your own, if possible," and asked larger manufacturers to pass on their backlog of work to small concerns facing shutdown for lack of civilian materials or defense orders. Bradley D. Nash of the financial section of OPM's contract distribution division, told the American Bankers Association in Chicago the division field offices will be prepared to consult and advise prime or sub-contracting groups and their financial representatives to inform them of availability of properly equipped sub-contractors, location of machinery and other equipment which may be required. Mr. Odlum has said as many as 200 offices might be opened. Under Secretary of Navy Forrestal instructed all bureaus and offices of the Navy and the Marine Corps to meet to help spread Navy defense work among smaller manufacturers. EMPLOYMENT, LABOR TRAINING AND SUPPLY—Labor Secretary Perkins said total non-agricultural employment of 39,542,000 last month was 2,840,000 higher than August last year and 1,166,000 more than in August, 1929. Miss Perkins said the "unusual" demand is for making military in giving the country its "most extraordinary expansion of employment in history." The OPM division reported it has given assistance to almost 1,800 defense contractors employing more than 2,500,000 workers during its first year and has established 22 district offices. The WPA said no in-plant defense training program, which trains workers for four weeks in plants which usually later hire them, is operated in 72 cities and 24 states. Federal Security Administrator McNutt announced shortages of qualified workers exist in 100 or 514 occupations selected as essential to defense, and are expected in an additional occupations before November 1. SHIPS—The Navy announced 38 keels were laid and 26 ships were launched from September 1 to October 3. The department predicted "even greater acceleration in output." The Maritime Commission chartered two ships to the Irish Free State to be under Irish flag with Irish crews, and chartered three more to carry nitrates to the U. S. from South America. CIVILIAN DEFENSE—The Department of Justice announced the OCD and FBI have completed plans for "FBI Civilian Defense Courses" in 55 U. S. cities and territories where FBI field headquarters offices are located. The courses will train police and other officials for various law enforcement duties in emergencies. OCD Director LaGuardia said 85 hospitals have started courses in the program to train 100,000 nurses' aides and 153 Red Cross chapters have also started their courses. He announced a committee of public and parochial school administrators is preparing a manual of instructions to protect lives of elementary and high school children and school buildings in event of emergency, and the advisory committee on Civilian Fire Defense is studying auxiliary fire-fighting apparatus. ARMY—Lieutenant General McNair, director of the Louisiana maneuvers, blamed officer leadership for "a mess of faults"--meaning weak discipline--revealed in the war games. He said leadership would be improved by removal of unqualified officers, but this does not mean that will be a "purge." War Secretary Stimson denied rumors there is a plan to reorganize the army's divisions to free more equipment for Britain and Russia. He said "our Army has an enormous task that is no longer confined to the defense of the U. S. but has the work of manning a large line of outposts." He noted present Army strength is merely 7.4 per cent of U. S. population and about the size of the quickly-defeated armies of Holland and Belgium. OFFICIALS NAMED The University of Florida officials have been chosen to serve on department of state advisory committees. Dr. Rollin S. Atwood, director of the University's Institute of Inter-American Affairs, has been named to the committee on adjustment of foreign students to the U. S., while Dena H. H. Hume of the college of agriculture will serve on the committee of intra-American cooperation in agricultural education. GET COMPENSATION Bootblacks and caddies are entitled to workmen's compensation, according to a recent ruling of the Attorney General. Deputy clerks of circuit courts and deputy sheriffs are also entitled to workmen's compensation, the Attorney rules.
