Defense Commission Revision Urges Speed Up In Production
A Louisville newspaper editorial calls for immediate full-time operation of plants to triple output, blaming delays on factory conditions rather than orders. It advocates end to labor disputes, fair pricing for management, and stronger administration to mobilize American and Allied production before spring 1941. It warns that slowdowns risk a tyrannical advance and urges unity between labor and management. It also discusses Church guidance on world peace and questions the payoff of total war, urging exploration of negotiated peace with no demand to abolish governments.
