Most observers agree, therefore, that the public is not imbued with a "wartime" spirit. Rather are the times considered "peacetime," however much the academicians contend over the question of whether aid for Britain actually means we are warring on the German people. The wartime spirit is generally recognized by political leaders as a force for unity in any nation a means of setting aside internal differences until the struggle is over.

Some observers suggest that the lag in defense production admitted by William S. Knudsen in his old job in the Defense Advisory Commission is due in some measure to the fact that neither workers nor industrial leaders today recognize our effort as an all out wartime push. They do not have before them the image of military Berlin A double engined train pulls into a small station in France. Behind the engines is a flatcar with a crew around an anti air craft gun. The caboose is another anti aircraft car.

Between these two cars lies the rolling general headquarters of the German army. In one of the cars sits Field General Walter von Brau chitsch, thin lipped head of the German land forces. This train is the cerebrum of the German military machine. With its swiftly acting chief, it has toured half of the continent of Europe in the last fourteen months directly behind the crest of the German military wave. From the flat soggy wastes of middle Poland, to the wishing beaches of the French Atlantic coast, the boss of millions of men has issued terse orders, received meaty military reports and coordinated the efforts of these millions to spell the military defeat of Poland, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg and France.

Four crews serve with the train anti aircraft, military guards, technical personnel of the federal railways and the signal corps experts. The latter are the most important. Radio operators, tele typewriter operators, telegraphers, switchboard operators, and other assistants chosen from the outstanding pupils of the signal corps school have been on duty in the GHQ since the beginning of the war. 'Speed' Their Middle Name Speed is their middle name. They still look back with pride, reports the "Warshauer Zeitung," on the day that their chief ordered a phone call put through from a forsaken spot in Poland.

Within six seconds, Von Brauchitsch was speaking with his aides in the Reich capital. Of special interest to a German reporter who visited the train was the use of a device presumably what is known in American telephone circles as "scrambled speech" apparatus for foiling curious who be on the line. Radio messages issued from the command car must remain strictly secret, and are conducted in an ever changing and extremely complicated code. Important press reports are received by wireless, duplicated by typewriter and handed around to the staff officers. The car in which Von Brauchitsch has his quarters was used by Adolf Hitler for two years as his private salon car.

When Von Brauchitsch dashes to the front line, the fact that he leaves his railroad car does not mean that he is not in contact with every sector. His auto column contains a rado car with direct wireless connection to his railway car. tains a radio car with direct wire "panzer" car can flash back to the rolling GHQ an order which Von Brauchitsch has decided to issue. When the field marshal general has finished his observations, back he goes to the train siding, the "panzer" car is quickly rolled on the flatcar and the train can move on.

BEATTY Washington President Roosevelt cuts his cloth from a world war pattern when he names a new high command with a single director to step up defense production. He also runs into new, confusing problems of military tailoring. In the minds of many observers, big Bill Knudsen steps into shoes similar to but not exactly the same as those worn by Barney Baruch in World War I.

Baruch was the chairman of the War Industries Board named by President Wilson. Knudsen is director of the new office of Defense Production. But there are important differences between 1917 and now. In the first place, the 1917 government declared war on Germany, and passed laws giving the President indirect, but nonetheless czar like powers over the Nation. War, therefore, had a legal status, and the public was aware of it.

battle as did World War Americans. Barney Baruch's post war report on the war industries board he headed said the ultimate success of the American war production effort depended more on the support by American public opinion of the war effort, than on the dictatorial powers with which Congress clothed President Wilson. There are legal differences, too. In World War days, Congress gave the President power to control food and fuel production, transportation, and in one broad sweep, pledged to the President "all the resources of the country" to bring the war to a success ful conclusion. The draft was so designed, too, that it could also be held over the heads of labor and was by President Wilson.

These indirect controls gave the President and his wartime boards the power to fix prices, establish priority for war production, ration food, compel labor to work, force industrial plant owners to com ply with instructions, under threat of taking their property. It was done mostly, as Baruch's report intimates, with an iron fist in a velvet glove, with an eye on public opinion. For instance, in the Bridgeport strike, the President had only to threaten plant management with requisitioning to end the plant's resistance to a strike. And he had only to threaten a minority labor element with removal of draft exemptions, and to take their right to work in war industries away from them. That was enough.

Public opinion approved. Today, President Roosevelt has but one of the legal powers among those granted to Wilson, beyond and above the emergency powers that always rest in the hands of a President. He may take over plants that fail to co operate in the defense effort. He has no similar powers over labor. In response to a state dept.
