““We have promised the general staff more than we have
been giving them—465 billion dollars worth of war materials
this year, twice as much as last year,’’ Crawford said.
The NAM chief revealed that the greatest increase is required in aircraft production, which he said must be stepped
up at least forty-five per cent. He blamed failure to meet the
schedules on four factors: ““Too much individual inefficiency
-and failure to do the fullest possible day’s work; too much
labor turnover—too much jumping from job to job for higher
wages; an alarming rate of absenteeism in war industries and
altogether too many—and . say one is too many—strikes and
slowdowns.”
The cure for these evils, Crawford pointed out,:lies in a
better job by both management and government. That cure
