This news is worse than it sounds. Under the Army's timetable of planning ahead, the production goal must be set higher month after month, until the still-growing Army is wholly equipped to the last shoelace and gas mask, and further, until the Army has a solid backlog of reserve equipment for the changing needs of the war.

A business that often smacked of the medicine show has skidded into the circus ring. In New York, the backlog of cars, stored by owners who now ride subways, is still great. There, cars are bought on sight, over the phone, by mail. In big splashy ads, out-of-town dealers scream of amazing prices. One dealer even tooted his horn in Chinese...
