NEW YORK, June 16—America’s industrial «“Battle of the Marne,” the first round struggle on our wartime economic front, has already been won and won on such a staggering scale of construction, tooling up and initial production that it looks like a miracle. Now thousands of plants and millions of workers are swinging into the second stage—into the prolonged "siege of all-out production for national defense and aid to Britain. This, in -reality, constitutes the greatest and most ruthless industrial battle the world has ever seen. In another year its dimensions will. be far more vast and much more fiercely intensified than they are today. But what about the present situation and outleok? After two weeks’ close-up view of our key industries and defense plants, this is how things look to an - American war correspondent, recently returned from Europe's combat zones and from those Danubian and Balkan countries which Hitler calls his “living space.” Despite all I have read and heard about the mobilization of American industry in the past 12 months, I have been amazed at the scope, rapidity and progress of this “in-

capital and labor have. fought so brilliantly. It is truly an extraordinary - achievement. I believe, without dramatics or exaggeration of any. kind, that it may prove.to be a turning point in the, Second World War. In any case, it lays:the foundation for a fateful turning point within the next year.

The siege of American competition with German-controlled armaments production is just beginning and will be prolonged and severe. America’s defense program will still be handicapped by recurring shortages of machine tools, by certain shortages in raw materials, by labor disputes and eventually by an increasing shortage of manpower. Admitting all this, and basing my judgment upon two weeks of intensive inquiry, I believe that Germany’s industries and other Nazicontrolled plants in Europe will be definitely on the defensive by next spring in the face of the formidably hung tide of American producon

An American adjustability and flexibility ‘in industrial processes which surpassés that of any nation I have ever lived in or visited in Europe. . 3. A tremendous and natively American capaéity for organization. 4.

economically and productively. Since the collapse of France last June, American industry has galvanized and girded itself fo an asfounding degree. It will inevitably come abreast and take the lead—no one can visit these plants today and doubt that for a minute. But it will also take the lead much sooner than most people have dared to hope.

They Like Competition

When ‘you talk with chief executives of key firms like United Aircraff, Chrysler, Curtiss-Wright, or General Motors, (to name only a few) they do not underestimate the problems ahead or their present headaches. They are entirely reals istic, but with all that they have an aroused conviction that “the job will be done.” They have been put on their mettle and their fighting instincts have been aroused. Some

ished any affection for the New Deal, but they love competition and they are going to “show them”— show Hitler, show Britain, show Washington, show the ‘world what American industries can do. The vast Chrysler tank arsenal, built in an incredibly short time, is a typical example of that spirit. So is the new Ford airplane engine. Si CE fr A ASA SA il bastesniid

These matters should be borne in mind by those who are prone to be impressed by Germany's remarkable organizing ability, for there is more than organization to the setting up and the operation of a gigantic industrial machine. ; You cannot make this sort of a
