...Idle? Walter Reuther's statement that the booming automobile industry had any idle capacity or labor was news to most people. Planner Reuther cited three empty factories in Detroit with 554,000 square feet of idle space. He named companies (Fisher Body, Chevrolet, Ternstedt) which had recently laid off skilled workers or put them at unskilled labor, declared that not more than half the industry's total capacity was actually at work. He also assumed that individual auto-makers would have to be compelled to pool their resources and talents, perhaps delay their own new models while...
This would not particularly worry President Roosevelt and the U. S. Department of State if there were not something of a pro-Nazi, anti-U.S. slant to much that President Arias says and does. In the official version of his inaugural address was the statement that he believed the U. S. knew how to cooperate with Panama on a basis of good will, but that Panama, although too small to defend herself, could always make concessions to foreign countries who would defend her against demonstrations of ill will.

Method: each member contributes one Argentine centavo (4?) for each Axis plane downed during the month. Thus, in October the Fellowship...
...primates, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, made history by jointly signing a letter to the London Times with Arthur Cardinal Kinsley, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, and Dr. Walter H. Armstrong, Joint Secretary of the Federal Council of the Free Churches. Winston Churchill has avoided any statement of war aims, so the churchmen set up "five standards" as a post-war plan to guide statesmen. Like the Sermon on the Mount, the standards quite clearly presupposed a new society...
...Roosevelt's Republican Secretary of War. Undertaking to explain why the draft and National Guard mobilization had fallen behind schedule (TiME, Nov. 25), he was as blackly frank as William S. Knudsen was on industrial defense. With other dark bits in the news. Mr. Stimson's statement made a sorry record, sinisterly remindful of the British in Norway, the French in lost France...
