THE HOME FRONT TAKES MAJOR PLACE TODAY (from OEM) This job of organizing all our people and all they own to defeat the Axis is a big job, the biggest job we’ve ever tackled. You might put it this way, you might say we are making the Ship of State into a Ship of War —a warship with a crew of 132,000,000 souls and more than enough ammunition in its magazines. to blow Hitler and Hirohito and II Duce /off the face of the earth, only first we have to get the ammunition on deck. That’s the job we have taken on and we know we are going to do it, too. It looks like a very complicated job, and it is complicated in many ways when we get down to cases, when we begin to consider what’s to be done with this industry or that, or how best we can use a certain scarce metal or some other material. But basically the job has a simple pattern, and this is it—(1) Take care of important civilian needs—the really important ones like food and fuel and clothing and necessary transportation, not the ones we used to think were important in the old, .soft days. (2) Concentrate everything else—men and machines and materials—on the work of war . . . everything. (3) See that all the people get a square deal, control prices, guard against inflation. Because if we were to permit runaway prices and inflation we would be putting a weapon into the hands of our enemies. From the way things have been going in the past few days it looks as though folks who would like to make an extra penny out of the country’s need, who would create artificial scarcities or cash, in on real ones if they could are going to find pickings slim and trouble plenty. This isn’t 1917-18. The Office of Price Administration has the duty of watching against inflationary price rises and batting down profiteers, and OPA has been very busy lately. When OPA Administrator Leon Henderson slapped a price ceiling over washing machines and ironers the other day it was the fifth important schedule of maximum 4 prices in the field of what are called “Consumer Durables”. JThat means things that are supposed to last and, with the war on, they’d better. Previously OPA has set prices over radios and automobiles, cooking and heating stoves, wool floor coverings. The war brought speculation in kitchen staples, in tea and pepper and cocoa, forced prices to levels unjustified by supply. We have two years’ supply of pepper in the warehouses, a great deal of tea. Cocoa we get from Brazil and West Africa, African shipments are expected to be resumed soon. OPA moved in on this situation, too. OPA fixed sharply ' lower j maximum wholesale prices for tea, announced schedules containing lesser reductions for pepper and cocoa. OPA moves in with price schedules wherever, it sees signs of inflationary pressure on prices. It irioved in on, southern hardwood lumber last week, for instance, and on bed sheets and nylon hosiery. The time is coming when women won’t be able to buy any more nylon stockings. That’s because the Army and Navy, as silk stocks become exhausted, turn more and more to nylon for such special purposes as making parachute cloth. The time is coming, and that soon, when America’s women will be wearing stockings made of rayon and cotton—already WPB has ordered rayon producers to set aside a larger proportion of their March output for the hosiery trade. But in the meantime, as stocks of nylon hosiery dwindled, demand increased. So did wholesale prices—on a scale which OPA termed profiteering and inflationary. OPA set a ceiling over the wholesale price of nylon hose, warned that retail, prices were as high as they can be permitted to go. Women’s stockings also figure in a WPB order designed to save 7,000,000 pounds of boxboard and paper. It specifies that stockings be packed without individual wrappings, and double the usual number to the box. WPB also acted, to save more tin by cutting the amount of tin coating which may be applied to “tin” cans and WPB’s Bureau of Industrial Conservation got tough about the vast piles of scrap metal lying in the nation’s automobile grave-yards. WPB warned operators of these graveyards that where they reject “fair offers” for their collection of jalopy carcasses they may face requisition of their entire yards —including all used parts. Plans for a “victory model” refrigerator follow hard .on the debut of the “victory bicycle” . . Expect more of these ’“victory, models” in machinery and household appliances, models stripped of all accessories, using substitutes for strategic metals wherever possible . . chromium, which used to put an added shine on so many of these appliances which typified a period almost as, much as the automobile, now has been allocated entirely to war production.
