BRAINS OF ARMAMENT
This war developed many noteworthy
improvements in manufacturing meth
ods and practices.
Many of these advancements in the art
of manufacturing armament were born
in the arsenals of the United States
Army.
One of these, the Watertown arsenal,
is noteworthy for two main contribu
tions to the war effort.
First (, its development of the centrif
ugal gun-tube casting method, which cuts
to less than half the previous time re
quired by the forging method. Second,
the development of its great metallurgi
cal laboratory, where more than 30,000
metal tests are made each month.
Hundreds of huge industrial plants are
fs working in conjunction with these arse
nals and each deserves a share of the i
credit in the phenomenal production job
for America and the United Nations.
WOULD BAR RACKETEERS
R,'J. Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers, CIO’ said yester
day in a Fourth of July address that un
ions cannot “tolerate wildcat strikes in
war plants and still survive.”
Recently I£syi4 Dublinskv, president
of the International Ladies’ Garment
Workers’ Union- a powerful union, in
New York, suggested the elimination of
racketeering from the ranks of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor by methods
more effective than mere “moral suas
; ion”. J
Mr .Dublinsky argued that the Fed
eration had taken steps to prevent com
munists from sitting in national conven
tions and local assemblies and that it
could, with equal right, bar racketeers!
from positions of responsibility.
These declarations and others like
them represent frank and constructive
labor leaderships. They show that the
leaders of organized labor are aware of
the responsibility that attends the exer
cise of power.

END OF THE BEGINNING
It is the beginning of the end for Hit
ler. Tojo and their gangsters. But it is
just the end of the beginning for Amer
ica’s industry, the amazing production
of which is in the valiant hands of our
fighting men now inside the German’s
vaunted Fortress Europa.
Industry is thoroughly aware of the
great tasks that must be completed be- *
fore the war is ended, but it looks ahead
also to the day when victory is achieved
and peace comes. It knows that jobs in
manufacturing, although they provide
but 25 per cent of all employment, stim
ulate millions of other jobs—in business
agriculture and mining.
When hostilities cease there must be
work which will permit spending to sup
port markets. This will lead to newer
and better products at prices peoj^e are
willing to pay, while business improves
the quality of its goods, produces them
more efficiently distributes them less ex
pensively.
Meanwhile, where are government’s
plans for reconversion to peacetime pro
duction, for sound and sane termination
of contracts? And where the assurance
that wartime restrictions will be lifted
at the proper time? Without knowledge
of government’s plans, and the assur
ance that business should have for the
future, it cannot reasonably make its own
plans for the better America to come.—
(Seattle ournal of Commerce).

"FAITH REASON AND CIVILI
ZATION," by Harold J. Laski,
(Viking, $2.50)
It seems doubtful to me that a
great number of people can be
persuaded to read a book by Har
old J. ^aski called “Faith. Rea
son and Civilization.” If he and
his publishers had burred half
the nrdnight oil in existence, they
could hardly have found a worse
title. Rut the title cannot dim
the extraordinary interest of the
book itself Mr Laski is too bright
for even a bushel to hide him.
It is his thesis that the world
Stands now in the same general
position as at the fall of the Ro-1
man Empire. We need a faith, I
badly. When the Roman Empire!
rotted away a revolutionary sort,
of faith was at hand: it was!
Christiap'ty. nnrl it sufficed. But
Mr. Lak'si does not think Chris
tianity fhtowever valid it may be
as a religion) offers the hope of
salvaging the world to come. He
gives many reasons for this be
lief, one of the most forceful be
ing his refusal to indorse a way

of the spirit which depends on
setting apart any group as hold
ers of the key, so to speak. The
religion, or faith, or political sys
tem or whatever it be called must,
he thniks, be broadly based and
applicable to everybody. Not the
everybody we usually talk about,
meaning everybody who thinks as
we do, but literally everybody.
I think he weakens his argu
ment at this point by taking a
flier in literary criticism. He is
trying to prove that our writers!
and thinkers have not provided
an answer, which most of us
would probably agree is a truism, j
But his choice of literary figures
is, I bleieve, wrong, to the point
of nonsense — Aldous Huxley,
James Joyce, T. S. Eliot. He men-.
tions a hundred figures besides,
but including those three will j
seem to many an indication of
short-sightedness. *
In any case, Mr. Laski at last
gets to the point of his disserta
tion. He has shown the problem
and our position, which is vis-a
vis the problem. Where else, he
asks, is there any prospect of so
lution but in Russia? He is not
dogmatic, and millions will dis
agree with him. He expects this.
But he wants to stir up thinking.
