though the competition will be keener
than ever.
The reflex action of this situation
which Is bound to occur will become
plain after the war. 1t is possible
that large numbers Of airplanes will
remain in commission in the peaceful
time to come. There are many who
believe that the time Is fast ap-
preaching when the airplane will sup
plant the automobile in certain web
marked spheres, especially in the
realm OF sport. The more plausi-
BILE view is. however. that vastly
fewer airplanes will be needed in
time of peace. In that event. the
productive capacity of the airplane
engine plants. which will In all pr oba-
bility by that time be keyed up enor-
mously. will be again available for
the production of passenger cars.
Just as the standard Of workmanship
in the machining trades has been
lifted by the automobile industry
during the last ten years to a much
higher plane than It occupied formerly,
SO the intensified production of air
plane engines will in turn have an
elevating effect on automobile manu-
facture.
