NA W. PLEDGES | _ (CO-OPERATION IN DEFENSE PLANS

- Prentis Urges Government To Make Aims Clear, Codify Tax Laws.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (U. P.). — . “H. W. Prentis Jr., president of the - National Association of Manufacturers, pledged American industry to full co-operation in the national > defense program today, but called

fense aims clear.

. Addressing the opening session of the N. A. M.’s 45th Congres; American Industry, president of Armstrong Cork |Co., set forth a three-point program, adoption of which by the Govern‘ment, he-said, would advance the nation’s welfare. he said, should:

1. Provide a clear definition of

our defense aims. 2. Aid the work of the National Defense Advisory Commission by granting it greater centralized au- ..- thority. 3. Begin immediately on the job of simplifying ahd codifying the ‘tax laws.

- Government Must Decide |

“How fast industry diverts its efforts from production for normal needs to armaments depends upon how seriously Government regards the immediate future,” he said. - “Whether production for Great Britain or production for our own defenses is more important is for -Government to decide. Whether the urgency is such as to demand in“dustrial output on a 24-hour, seyen= day basis and the removal of all restrictive factors to the fullest pos‘sible armament production, Government and only Government can say. . “Much as they abhor war, American manufactures will do their full ‘part under any and every circumstances.”

Warns of Aftermath

Mr. Prentis praised the work of ‘the Defense Commission, but deplored a lack of co-ordination and dong range planning necessary to -“guard against the inevitable aftermath of the present armament ‘boom.” Mr. Prentis reviewed activities of the name and its numerous affiliates in the past year during which $1,600,000—a record figure—was spent on telling the story of industry in a democracy. Such open activity, he said, was necessary to cope with streams of propaganda from [collectivist sources within the country.

The action was interpreted as a blow to Japan and as further evidence: of the Administration’s attempt to extend all aid possible to Great Britain.

President Rosevelt’s proclamation on new iron and steel production in the fabricated and pre-fabricated stages effective Dec. 30, did not mention Japan, but specifically exempted Great Britain and the Western Hemisphere nations. Since the European war began Japan has been second only to Great Britain as a*customer for 149 separate items on which export licenses now must be obtained. In addition there is a “moral embargo” against shipment of airplanes and aircraft equipment to Japan. Col. R. L. Maxwell, Defense Commission export control chief, said the Government planned no complete embargo or “blackout” of war materials at this time. The British “balance sheet” was presented to American officials by Secretary of the Treasury Henry | Morgenthau Jr., at an unexpected three-hour meeting in his office yes-

SERVE ALL GLASSES, ‘REPUBLICANS TOLD

There must be no “off season” when it comes to good government, ‘Henry E. Ostrom, Republican County Committee treasurer, said in discussing tasks facing newly elected G. O. P. officeholders in a talk last night at Acton. Mr. Ostrom said the party must meet fully the requirements of the people if it expects to merit further and greater support. The party, he added, must be ever mindful of the heeds of all groups and classes. One of the best means of providing leadership, he said, is through maintenance of a Republican organization so strong that it will attract, particularly, the young people who are playing a more and more important part in our country’s welfare. “For the next two years,” he added, “it shall be the task of the Republican Party in Marion County and Indiana to restore that government of checks and balances which is the rightful heritage of every American citizen.”
