to the newspaper, have access to the United States Embassy in Vichy “so it is not surprising to see Ad-| miral (William D). Leahy (the American Ambassador) mixed ex-| citedly in the affair.” | “Synarchy” was defined as the| opposite of anarchy -—seeking aj strong concentration of power in| contrast to anarchy’'s dispersal of authority. L’Appel published what it said was Coutrot’'s plan, calling] for the earliest possible peace, the] creation of a league of major na-| tions of Europe and Africa under the name “Paneurafrica,” and five leagues of minor nations. The major nations would pool their colonial | interests to form a world empire.

It was described as a plan for revolution from the top, as a means for the major nations of the world; imposing their will on minor nations without violence. it called for a| “real democracy based on natural heirarchy,” extending down from the group of major nations through the states, regions, communities, | organized professions, families, to} the individual. L’Appel named the French banker Hippolyte Worms and the industrialist Baron de Nervo as supporters of “synarchy,” and Pierre Etienne Flandin, former Premier, as liaison agent between French synarchists and America and Britain.

Other posters proclaimed that | Jose Roig had been shot for recruiting volunteers for Gen. Charles de Gaulle, Free France leader. Yesferday it was announced that two Communists had been shot for participation in anti-German demonstrations.

‘Available for Defense’

This poster from the National proclaims that L. P. Lent’s factory is available for defense.

He did the same thing for the National Association of Manufacturers. They sent him a red, white

and something about his plant being willing to aid the defense program. It wasn't meant to be ironical. He wrote the Defense Contract Service at Chicago—the agency that is trving to get the big concerns to subcontract more of their defense work with the smaller firms—but had no luck.

Slightly Bewildered

There are several things about the defense program that have Mr. Lent—and thousands of other small manufacturers in the same fix—

steel going that our huge mills are turning out? “Why, U. S. Steel Corp. alone turns out more steel than Germany, Czechoslovakia and Belgium put together,” Mr. Lent exclaimed. “Surely some of our steel is going into civilian production.” There's no way of proving it, but it is likely, he says, that the concerns that have priority ratings and are able to get steel are loading up on it for the future. In the President's press conference yesterday morning, he intimated that American industry ought to plan for the war lasting -into 1943. “We can plan for a slow spell for several months but 1943! We can’t last that long at this rate,” Mr. Lent said. “Now, don't make me out to look like a cry bab¥y in your article,” he cautioned. “I'm not. In any such tremendous thing as this defense program someone is bound to get hurt. But there are too many of us getting hurt the way things are going. It is the way things aren't organized that’s causing the trouble. Now look at the fellow in England. In spite of all the defense work going on over there, he was still able to keep in business.

fcan-made planes had been tried out. The President said he was quoting from memory and was not exactly certain of his figures on airplane production. But he said he believed that the estimate was for 1500 planes per month by July 1, and that the Office of Production Management on that date said that actual production had reached 1465 per month.

Vigorous in Defense

Mr. Roosevelt's defense of the armament program was detailed and vigorous, although he explained that because of War Department secrecy he could not pe as detailed as he would have liked. The War Department, he said, insists that Senator Byrd most unfortunately was completely inaccurate in all his figures except airplane production. The conclusion, the President said with a smile, is simply that somebody sold the Senator down the river on his figures. Senator Byrd had charged that the production effort was bogging down disastrously, and had demanded that the President centralize control of the defense program under a single, all-powerful head. Mr. Roosevelt did not discuss the centralization idea, but, item by item, he cited War Department figures challenging Mr. Byrd's accuracy. The President refused to drawn into discussion of the increasingly tense situation on the Iran frontier, where Britain and Russia are demanding that the Irania Government expel several thousand alleged German fifth (columnists or “tourists.” He said
