others.

Roosevelt now has the power, if he
wants to use it, to bring a fast halt
to all strikes by executive order and
without new legislation. Further
more, the American Federation of
Labor has called for a halt in strikes
and has appealed to all members to
exercise self-discipline.

7. Passage of the ship-seiziire bill,
insuring toe U. S. permanent acqui
sition of Axis ships taken into cus
tody, is considered as a test of Nazi
threats to start hostilities.
A new surge of effort to increase
the speed of production of defense
equipment has been clearly evident
since toe president’s declaration of
an unlimited emergmey, partly be
cause of the president’s appeal and
partly because we have now ratned
upon our second year of defense ^-
duction with new and much larger
goals to attain.
Outlining the job ahead, John D.
Biggers, prodtiction director of the
office of production management,
said toe new goals for the rest of the
year include doubling of present air
plane production, quadrupling tank
production, trebling powder produc
tion and increasing five-fold toe pro
duction rate of machine guns.
To do this, it is evident to all OPM
officials that strikes must not be al
lowed to halt production. They have
been encourag^ by toe recent For
tune poll showing that toe majority
of the labor artrty of toe U. S. Is al-*
most as strongly opposed to strikes in
defense industries as is the non
labor population.
With both congressmen and the
administration vitally interested in
toe trends of public opinion on toe
great issues before us, polls such as
Fortune’s and toe Gallup polls are
studied closely here. Many congress
