7) OVERWHELMING PRODUCTION
In his tirst speech since. he was named Director of the
newly formed Office of War Mobilization, lames F. Byrnes,
presented some conclusive figures on overwhelming war pro_ duction.
said.
“During the year, we will double the size of our fleet.
‘‘In the month of May this year we produced three times
as many pieces of artillery for ground troops as we did in ail
nineteen months of the last war. Be
‘We are building merchant ships four times as fast as
they are being sunk. ;
‘America has turned out 2,225,000 machine guns since
. it began to rearm.
“In 1943’s first five months 100 fighting ships were finished— almost as many as were finished in the entire year
of 1942. a :
“Our production of high explosive powder has been six
times greater than during the last war.
‘We have shipped to lend-lease, countries almost twice as
many motor vehicles as we produced for ourselves alone in the
last war. If all these vehicles were parked bumper to bumper
they would reach twice across North Africa.”
Mr. Byrnes went on to describe the remarkable achievements of America’s new inventions such as radar, the locator
which is giving us fighting superiority over the Axis. the new
destroyer escort which is hunting down enemy subs, and other
ingenious new developments.
This tribute is paid to the same American industry which
the Axis powers thought capable only of producing refrigerators, washing machines, and other essentially peacetime products.
Little did our enemies realize that while free American
enterprise was engaged in manufacturing the everdyay conveniences which gave to the American people the highest living standard in the world, it was at the same time building up
the skill and the know-how that are being so efficiently applied in the present emergency.
a , KNOW-HOW AND TAXES
' All over the country, in hundreds of war production
_ plants, managers, engineers, designers, mechanics, assemblers
and others are demonstrating the industrial know-how that has
so long played a vital part of our industrial growth and progress in both peace and war.
From plant after plant came reports of savings—savings
in the use of critical materials, in time required for production,
in overall manufacturing costs—savings in design, fabrication,
assembly, and in shipping space. Loge.
One automotive company alone was able to save the
government $169,178.141 on last year’s production. This
amount is equivalent to giving the government—cost free—
cannon and 450 interceptor planes.
In hundreds of other cases exceptional savings in time,
money, and material have been made through the application
of mass production technique and the development of entirely
new manufacturing processes or in the application of entirely
new principles or products.
For instance, the 45-calibre submachine gun which before the emergency cost the, government $225 has been replaced by an equally effective weapon which costs only $21.
And in another case the 50-calibre aircraft guns: which used
to cost $1,000 can now be produced for $400 and in the rede‘sign 52 pounds of steel and 2 pounds of bronze are saved.
JUST WONDERIN’
I wonder how long, long ago,
In paleolithic days,
The puny races of mankind
Pursued their devious ways.
They surely knew both fear and want—
How other could it be,
Wheén grotesque monsters stalked the land
And swam the ancient sea?
I wonder how our remote ancestors managed to survive
the deadly perils of the paleolithic age. Try to imagine condi‘tions existent upon the earth during that period of time and
your imagination will not only be stagerged, it will positively
be laid low.
“The first plane manufactured since we began our war.
production program came off the assembly line today,” he;

supreme power which had placed him in a world of terror and
destruction. He was, I surmise, too busy with the problems of
material existence to find much time for spiritual speculation.
Freedom from fear and want were unknown to men of
the old stone age. Fear and want drove them to seek shelter
in caverns of the earth, to find comfort in the companionship
of their kind, to improve their latent abilities, to develop their
scanty resources, until at length with infinite patience and indmitable will, they created their crude stone weapons of
warfare and proceeded to club, hack and spear their perilous
way to a somewhat safer and better state of existence.
I hold no brief for fear and. want—I shall be glad when
they are banished from the human scheme of existence; but
these primitive forces are not always deterrents, in many cases
they act as incentives; forcing initiative, developing ingenuity, arousing combative instincts and the indomitable will
to create.
When at long long last, these twin tormenters of humanity have been destroyed, historians will record that through
the centuries, they instigated many activities which were of
truly constructive worth and we of today, in pondering the
subject, are often forced to admit with Manzanita Ike, that
‘adversity has a use."’-—A. Merriam Conner.

HOW ELECTRIC POWER HELPS BUILD SHIPS
Each Shipyard Worker uses
ELECTRICITY equal to
the service needs of SIX
average six-room homes
IN CALIFORNIA’S recordbreaking shipyards the manpower production
of skilled hands is multiplied manifold by the
extensive use Of electricity.
» ~ Sf
Electric energy in the hands of each shipyard, worker is sufficient to provide complete
electric service for six average six room homes.
It is equal to the strength of 2!/ horses working steadily eight hours.
Other war industries are also requiring more
and more power service. Electric power demands have reached new peaks.
To meet the 1942 peak power demand, more
than 300,000 horsepower of generating ca: pacity was added to our interconnected system.
There they were, our poor little ancestors, in a strangely
‘crude and inhospitable world, surrounded by breath taking
dangers, and no criterion to go by. The land-was ruled by
fearsome beasts of gigantic size and menacing mein, evil eyed .
saurians lolled in every primordial pool, while ptredactyls and
other terrifying winged creatures darkened the skies above.
There didn't seem to be one chance in a million that mere
man could survive under such awe inspiring circumstances,
but he did! and with inordinate temerity, undaunted faith and
courage, he set about the task of subduing the mad: beasts
about them, conquering the forces that beset’ him and creating a safer world for himself and his decendants.
I wonder what the four freedoms would have meant to
our very greatest great grand fathers. Freedom of speech was
of course immaterial. Paleolithic man had few words and
these were mostly grunts and gestures, then too it was un‘wise to chatter when and where one’s voice might attract the
‘attention of huge meat devouring monsters against which one
ad rio adequate means of defense. As for religious freedom,
Primitive man must have harbored wierd conceptions of a
To speed war work in 1943, additional
power plants now being rushed to completion
will add another 300,000 horsepower of capacity di ring this year and that also will be
. fully employed in the all-out war effort.
To keep California “power-full in production” and to meet the new demands of an allout fighting war’ is the determination of this
company’s 12,000 employees. It is their pledge
to the more than 2100 P. G. and E. men and
women in the armed forces in all parts of the 4 fe a » Se
