BRITAIN PROJECTS GREAT
OUTPUT OF AIRPLANES
United States and Canada Expected

Raw Materials.
Especial Cnblegram to The Sunday Star

Especial CableEram to The Sunday Star
and New York TimeSD
LONDON, July 81 dispatch to the
Londan Daily MaiL)-Britain has laid
great plans for airplane construction,
which is to be organized on a scale com
mensurate with that of shell produc-
ton after Lloyd Georges campaign of
two years ago. Methods of standardiza-
ton and of large scale output which
Lloyd George applied to shells will now
be employed in the case of airplanes.
Six months have been spent in elm
mating inferior designs, finding the best
and concentrating upon them. search
ing for materials and placing contracts
for supplies even two years ahead.
In this great effort the United States
and Canada take an important part and
will supply ready for use vast guam
titles Of raw material. So vast are the
British requirements that whole years
of output of Honduras mahogany are
not sufficient to satisfy them. Work
of construction will employ thousands
where hitherto hundreds have been en-
ployed.
The greatest difficulty to be over
come is to get a sufficient supply OF Ia
Dor. If no troubles with labor inter-
fere and IL no shortage Of material is
felt, they will succeed In dominating
the German lines with their air fleets
and in bringing, in the only way pos
sible, the ultimate victory.
