...Japan, socialism is the old army game. "Capitalistic and liberal elements are to be driven to earth ... all initiative is being stifled, and Government control is being ruthlessly extended into every branch of industry. Exchange control, production limitations, restrictions on the purchasing and shipment of supplies, rationing of raw materials-these are among the means. . . ." "A mere whispered threat" by the Army to repeat the 1936 Tokyo mutiny keeps politicians and financiers in line...

For an American public which thirsts for facts upon which to make its decisions, the authors have dug a well deep with facts. As a mere catalogue of up-to-date military statistics, geographical truths and raw material accounting, The Strategy of the Americas is no more open to a critical review than a telephone directory; but in its more ambitious role as a decisive argument for a non-interventionist national policy it is like nothing so much as a three-foot man trying to reach...

Once the industry's break-even point (now estimated at 60% of capacity) is passed, profits jump dizzily; last year, when U.S. Steel's operations rose to 80.2% from 60.7% in 1939, profits rose 150%. But the small, unintegrated companies that have to buy all raw materials lagged far behind Big Steel's record last year. These companies maintain that a 10? wage rise means higher steel prices...
