Washington, D. C., June 9.—
(NWNS)—Although many points
In our aid-to-Britain plans are
Still kept secret by the President
in order to keep Hitler guessing,
there are certain major revelations
about our national policy which
have been made recently. They
inclode:
1. The use of convoys is not
contemplated for the immediate
future, the President having de
cided that they are outmoded and
that the system of patrols, which
we are now using, is more effec
tive.
2. The President does not in
tend to ask for repeal of the neu
trality law, since at present it does
not interfere with his plans.
3. The President expects labor
^and capital to stop letting disputes
interfere with production, but if
they don’t settle their problems a-
mong themselves the government
win act.
4. The President has no immedi
ate intention of using most of the
powers available to him under his
unlimited emergency proclama
tion, and he has no new legisla
tion in mind.
5. We will “start shooting” if
Germany and her allies attempt
hostilities.
A new surge of effort to increase
the speed of production of defense
equipment has been clearly evi
dent since the President’s declara
tion of an unlimited emergency,
partly because of the President’s
appeal and partly because we have
now entered upon our second year
of defense production with new
and much larger goals to attain.
Outlining the job ahead, John
D. Biggers, production director of
the Office of Production Manage
ment, said the new goals for the
rest of the year include doubling
of present airplane production,
quadrupling tank production,
trebling powder production and in
creasing five-fold the production
rate of machine guns.
To do this, it is evident to all
OPM officials that strikes must
not be allowed to halt production.
They have been encouraged by
the recent Fortune poll showing
that the majority of the labor
army of the U. S. is almost as
strongly opposed to strikes in de
fense industries as is the non
labor population.
With both congressmen and the
administration vitally interested in
the trends of public opinion on
the great issues before us, polls
suc^i as Fortune’s and the Gallup
polls are studied closely here.
Many congressmen were encour
aged by a recent Gallup poll which
showed that aid-to-Britain and
war as a last resort is favored just
as much by families of boys in
the military training camps as by
the people who are not called
upon to make such personal

Azores, or Greenland which the
President considers might be used

6. We will probably not start
shooting unless Germany provokes
us to do so by attempts to get
bases in our hemisphere or by at
tacks on our navy patrols.
7. Passage of the ship-seizure
bill, insuring the U. S. permanent
acquisition of Axis ships taken

said that they would favor this
country going to war if it appeared
certain that there was no other
way to defeat Germany and Italy.
President Roosevelt has ordered
a second registration day under
the selective service act for July 1,

the age of 21 by that day, but who

will not be rushed into training,
since present plans call for their
being put at the bottom of the
list.
It is believed that there are ap
proximately 1,000,000 young men
who have come of age since the
last registration.
Fifth column and anti-American
activities took the limelight here
when Jan Valtin, author of the
best-seller “Out of the Night,”
which purports to give inside in
formation on activities of the
Communists and the German Ges
tapo, with both of which he admits
formerly having been associated,
appeared before the Dies com-
nittee and warned of the civil
strife which German agents are
attempting to bring about in this
country. He said that even many
af the refugees who fled Germany
are being forced to supply vital
information to the German gov
ernment in order to keep their
umilies in Germany from being
put in concentration camps.
Congress does not appear as
worried about strikes as it did a
month ago, for it realizes that
President Roosevelt now has the
power, if he wants to use it, to
bring a fast halt to all strikes by
axecutive order and without new
legislation. Furthermore, the
American Federation of Labor has
called for a halt in strikes and has
appealed to all members to exer
cise self-discipline.
Almost incidental in Washington
is the additional request for over
$3,000,000,000 which the President
made to congress the other day.
This new request, on which he
asked all possible haste, is largely
to provide funds to build 15.500
planes additional to those already
provided for which would be
enough total funds to bring -the
army and navy plane strength to
50,000.

Byron Parker And
His Mountaineers
Here June 25th
Byron Parker “The Old Hired
Hand,” And His Mountaineers will
appear at McCormick High School
Wednesday night, June 25th.
Sponsors for the program will be
the F.FA. Chapter of McCormick
High School. Proceeds will go to
pay expenses of the agricultural
classes at camp and also towards
a fund to equip a woodshop at the
school. The show will not begin
until after church services.
The public is urged to attend
this show and help these boys get
them a shop in the school. It is
hoped that sufficient funds will
be raised so as to be able to
match other funds available
through the State Department of
Vocational Education and thus
make it possible to have a nice
shop for the school. Make your
plans now and come out and en
joy two hours of clean fun with.
Byron Parker And His Mountain
eers.
