THE AMERICAN WAY WILL WIN!
The American way was decadent and doomed ,the Axis
warned us when America set out to become the Arsenal of
Democracy. The U. S. had hit its peak in 1929 and had since
slid hopelessly into the ruck of history. The new Axis way of
life was the way of steel and vitality and success.
Last week General Motors, changing from peace to war
pursuits, announced it has: Seventy-one plants at full speed
on war work; 8 new plants under construction; 54,873 machine tools working or being rebuilt for war production; 16,
950 machine tools made available. to other war plants; men
employed on war work, 170,598. Total General Motors employment on war production by October will be greater than
total employment on both commercial and war work was in
1941!
Bethlehem Steel's shipbuilding division reports the greatest production year in history for 1942—and states: “The
first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at a Red
Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually non-existant a
year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from the laying
of the keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead of
schedule. Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the
time required in the first World War.
As production rises, costs. per unit decline. The North
American Aviation Company of Los Angeles has reduced
costs per plane 33 per cent since :940—and recently returned $14,000,000 to the government (which means the taxpayers!) rather than accept it as profit.
Such news, multiplied many times, over in’ many plants
with miilions of workers nationally, adds up to this answer to
the Axis: :
The physical volume of industrial production in America
today is fifty per cent greater than it was at the peak of prosperity in 1929!
The American way—free American labor and free American management going all-out for production together— will win! .
THE STIFFO STORM TROOPS
Men who can fight booze should go out to fight Japs.
That is the stand of the draft board of Roxbury, Mass.,
on_draft-deferred “chronic alcoholics.”
Selective Service DirectorLewis B. Hershey last week:
“If you cannot see where there is a place for them in.the
Army of today—why not create a regiment or division of their
own? We do not condone drunkenness. Yet while we do not
believe alcohol a part of the diet of the fighter, still history is
replete with fighting men who drank.”
History—the history of Monday morning police courts
sessions for week end party boys—also is replete with drinking men who fought at the drop of a hat. What if the town
drunk’'s of ten thousands burgs were enlisted together as the
Elbow-Bending Engineers or Rum Pot Rifles of Stiffo Storm
Troops and sent against the foe? Properly fortified, they might
make military history. The grog some of them drink would
make a rabbit snap at a wolf. The man who has survived the
monsters and terrors of the D. T’s. might take the severe ordeal of battle in stride. Such a brigade might stagger through
to victory under inspiration of the prospect of placing all
Tokio sauoons under. martial law.
That Roxbury board may have a thought!
WARTIME ADVERTISING
Announcing the largest mewspaper advertising campaien in the history of his company, a brewing concern head
declared: “We are looking forward to our best year. Not only
have we found that more people are reading newspapers now
than ever before, but we know that newspaper advertising results in immediate sales increase.
That advertiser knows full well that war drains will leave
-people with less money to spend for luxuries, including beer.
But he also knows that it is the bold, aggressive merchant,
stepping up his advertising in face of adverse conditions, who
takes the business which timid, retrenching competitors lose.
Advertising is indispensable only when business is hard to get
—and that is why it can be~predicted now that businessmen
who advertise will be in business after the war as well as for
the duration!

DOGS ENLIST
News in Verse Thursday, April 15
A Over KJBS :
Written by Harley M, Leete, Jr.
Dogs no longer miss the draft:
They’re being taught a canine craft.
Their hours ‘are long, their work
is hard :
—St. Louis’ water works they guard.
Saboteurs have not a chance,
Except to lose the seat from pants.
The plan began with eight stray
dogs, .
Who wandered in in working togs.
These four-foot pals were
unemployed—
And, at lack of war-work, much
annoyed.
Each one, it seemed, was robust. fit,
And anxious indeed to do his bit.
Tihese, dogs eagerly obey their :
« masters,
And thus prevent war-time
disasters.
Priority on pup and hound,
Is taken from St. Louis’ pound.
In pounds their lives no longer end,
For the waterworks needs each
four-foot friend.
Stray dogs are preferred over
pedigreed, :
For mongrels are a healthy breed.
Their teeth are sharp and very long,
Their coats have fleas, and smell
quite ‘strong. :
But if they possess a loyal heart,
Then they can play a war-time part.
Woe betide that canine beast,
Whose loyalty: wavers in the least
But a four-foot column cannot be
found,
For one of the blessing of the hound,
Is that while he’s at play or work,
No treasons within his cranium lurk.
A dog’s a simple, harmless. creature,
Except for one offensive feature.
His mouth, it seems, is a furry
sheath
(Chock full of big and pointed teeth.
The dog, propelled by four fleet
paws,
Has striking power within his jaws,
And so, we see in canine friends,
The latest of new war-work frnends.
All-out, you see, means all-out now,
When even doggies must learn how,
To help defeat our mortal foe
And make the wheels of action go!
