This Week in Defense
THE PRESIDENT—The President, speaking by radio, said, "The choice we have to make is this: Shall we make our full sacrifices 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 too late?... "The first," the President said, "is the choice of realism—realism in terms of three shifts a day; the fullest use of every vital machine every minute of every day and every night; staying on the job and getting things done, and entrusting industrial grievances to the established machinery of collective bargaining . . . The second choice is the approach of the blind . . . 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 do his share for defense. . . . We must halt the waste and unnecessary use of critical materials required for defense. We must work longer hours. . . . And each of us must be trained in some task that is essential to our total defense. . . ." LEND-LEASE AID—The President arranged a $1,000,000,000 loan to Russia under the Lend-Lease Act. The loan carries no interest. Repayment—partly in materials—will start five years after the war ends and is to be completed in 10 years from that time. Observing the 24th anniversary of the Soviet revolution, the President telegraphed the Soviet Government "I am confident that the sacrifices and sufferings of those who have the courage to struggle against aggression will not have been in vain..." The Navy authorized construction of 50 escort vessels for transfer to Great Britain under the Lend-Lease Act at a cost of $300,000,000. The State Department announced a lend-lease agreement with Cuba involving an undisclosed amount of U.S. defense supplies for that country and supplies of sugar, tobacco and maganese in return. OTHER FOREIGN RELATIONS—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 discontinue military operations against Russia if Finland wishes to keep U. S. friendship. Mr. Hull also announced that if Germany does not now pay $2,967,090 damages for sinking the ROBIN MOOR, the claim would be grouped with other pending cases for adjustment after the war. The President told a press conference the U. S. is considering withdrawing Marine detachments from China. Japan dispatched a special envoy to the U. S. for further discussion of Far Eastern problems. SHIPS ATTACKED—The Navy announced the U. S. S. SALINAS, Navy oil tanker, reached port safely and without loss of life despite serious damage from a torpedo the night of October 29-30 while in a convoy near Iceland. The Navy revised its list of casualties on the destroyer RUBEN JAMES to show two known dead and 98 missing and given up for dead. The vessel was torpedoed while convoying near Iceland. There were 45 survivors. NAVY STRENGTHENED—The President transferred the entire Coast Guard to the Navy Department and asked Congress for an additional $449,820,000 for the Navy. The Coast Guard transfer gave the Navy 230 patrol and auxiliary vessels and a large number of in-shore and port craft. SHIPS BUILDING—The Navy reported that during the first 10 month of 1941, keels were laid for 115 new combatant ships, 34 ships were launched and 25 ships were commissioned. The Maritime Commission reported the first three Liberty cargo ships will be delivered the week of November 18. The Commission has so far launched 148 new ships and delivered 118 as result of its long-range and emergency programs. ARMY PROGRESS—The War Department reported the rate of delivery of critical armament 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 by September, and 80 times by October. The Army also announced increase in the rate of training of motor maintenance officers by four times, battalion commanders and communications officers by 100 percent, and aircraft warning service men by 900 percent. The Army also reported the rate of accidents in military flying during the past year remained unchanged despite greatly increase training and tactical flying and use of new and faster ships. FUEL COORDINATOR—The President appointed Interior Secretary Ickes to coordinate information regarding solid fuels (coal, coke, wood, etc.) as well as oil and to make recommendations to the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board as to production, storage, 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 "constitutes a final disapproval." 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 for additional power facilities in the Bonneville power system because "a critical power shortage in this area is now imminent." The OPM postponed from November 10 to November 17 explained 30 percent power curtailment 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 combination manufacturers not to increase prices above October 15 levels. He said price programs 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 Columbia as they were on January 1, 1941. MATERIALS—Lessing J. Rosenwald, Chief of the OPM Bureau of Industrial Conservation, announced the Government will soon begin a series of continuous campaigns to seek out unneeded household rubber, iron, aluminum, paper, steel, copper (which OPM said this week was more scarce than any other needed material), lead, zinc, and cotton and wool. In the new campaigns materials would be given outright or sold to scrap and junk dealers who would resell to defense industries. Price Administrator Henderson reported 400,000 members of the Boy's Clubs of America in 360 cities are enlisting in the nation's wastepaper salvage campaign now underway. LABOR DISPUTES—The President's fact-finding board set up to adjust a wage dispute in the railroad industry recommended that approximately 350,000 members of the "Big Five" Operating Brotherhoods receive an increase of 7 1/2 percent. The Brotherhoods had asked for a 30 percent increase for these men. For 800,000 other employees the board recommended an increase averaging 13 1/2 percent. The increases were termed by the board as temporary pending a re-examination of economic conditions in 1942. The railroads accepted the proposals. The unions rejected them. The U. S. Conciliation Service reported settlement if 36 labor disputes.
