The Soviet Union, with an army of
100000 men, according to War
CommiSsar Voroshivlov, has TIA
horse power per man. The British
come next though Japan is rapid
ly overhauling her. The French
and American armies are last.
Partly to remedy this deficiency
admittedly grave in so small an
army as ours - the government
plans to spend $34,00O,O00.
CTANLEY BALDWIN publicly
~ warned that the frontiers of
Britain are no longer the English
Channel and the chalk cliffs of
Dover, but the sky and the Rhine.
Today Britain and France are
perfecting an air defensive ALI
ance. Germany, Belgium and Italy
are asked to come into it.
The trend throughout the entire
world is in the direction of aerial
defense. In strengthening her
Hawaiian and other air bases,
America is merely recognizing
what other powers saw and acted
on before.
AS recommended by the Baker
board, the President plans to in
crease the air feet to 1920 planes.
These will be assigned to Hawaii,
Panama, the east and west coasts
and elsewhere. The cost is about
$90,000,000.
The total appropriation for the
Army, including modernization,
meshanization, increase in person
mel and so on, will likely be in the
neighborhood of s4OO,O0O,O00. With
the naval building program and
regular appropriation, the total
national defense bill is expected
to reach approximately a billion
dollars.
Japan is spending more than
billion yen this year on national
defense. A yen buys about as
much in Japan as a dollar does
here.
CAID Chairman Vinson: ''The
y charge is often made that we
are spending more than other
countries on the national defense.
We have to spend more-much
more-merely to get the same
thing. American wages, building
costs, living standards and so on
are higher than in any other ma
ton"
A merchant marine second to
none is part of the Administra-
tons plan to round out the ma
tional defense. Some like Chair
man Vinson also include canal
across Nicaragua Without
merchant marine, the Navy could
not function properly il war.

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

INCREASED use of nickel in many industrial fields
l. is predicted by o. B. j. Fraser, superintendent of
technical service of the International Nickel Co. At
the present time low alloy nckel-bearing stees are
being used in bridges automobiles, machinery OF
many kinds and machine tools.
The normal consumption of nickel in the United
States today, according to Mr. Fraser is about 225O-
600 pounds year. Electroplating makes the largest
demand for the metal. Catalytic uses come second,
ceramics third and the nicke-iron alkaline storage
battery fourth. other fields are still small.
However, the other fields beginning to grow
in Importance
"The more highly allowed nickel-chromium stain
less steels and the heat-ressting alloys are we'll
known to industrial chemists" Mr. Fraser says.
Nickel has acquired important place in the field
of cast iron. Low nickel alloy irons, with or with
out added chromium molybdenum, are superior
in structure thermal stability, and strength, to plain
iron"
Mr. Fraser says that he developed ore reserve in
Canada contains sufficient nickel to meet the worlds
requirement for more than a generation. Canadian
mining practice is of the highest standard OF deep
metal mining and plants are modern in every respect
NICKEL plating has grown to be an enormous in
/ = dustry, consuming large quantities of chemical
compounds which contain nickel.
Latest available figures are for 1888. Inese snow
that 900 pounds of nickel sulphate and nickel
ammonium sulphate and 100000 pounds of nickel
chloride used. The metallic nickel content OF
these salts approximately 10000 pounds
22OOOOOO square feet Of metal surface were plated
with nickel in 1888. He also points out that the
1888 consumption of nickel salts was only one-haH
of what the figure in 1929.
CHROMIUM plating, he says rather than dis
~ placing nickel plating, has increased the need
for it.
Current specifications in the automotive and
plumbing goods industries call for nickel undercoats
about three times as thick as were used some six
or seven years ago." he says.
This has been done not only to obtain better
protection of the base from corrosion, but because
a satisfactory chromium finish can be obtained only
over a fairly thick nickel coating"
In industrial processes, more products depend
upon the use of nickel catalyst than any other
metal catalyst is substance which does not
enter directly into chemical reaction, but whose
presence speeds up the necessary chemical reaction
or lowers the temperature at which it occurs or
otherwise makes it industrially practical
About 435000 pounds of nickel in various forms
was used for cataytic purposes in 1888.

Thus while Steagall nominally
continued as head of the full body,
actually its work was handled by
the subcommittee friendly to and
controlled by the Administration.
This year, with the session I'M
der way, Steagall's publicity grab
bling proclivities have again aroused
Administration ire.
1t happened this way:
After weeks of secret work, Fed
eral Reserve Board Governor Mar
riner S. Eccles and Treasury
chiefs framed a bill greatly eX-
tending government control over
the Federal Reserve system.
None of the congressional bank
ing leaders-Duncan U. Fletcher,
chairman of the Senate Banking
Committee, or Senator Carter
Glass. or Steagall-were consulted
in drafting the measure.
DUT to soothe Glass pride,
II Eccles personally called on the
sensitive Virginian, told him that
a bill was being drafted and that
he would have a chance to see it
before it was made public.
Several days later copies of the
measure were sent to Fletcher and
Steagall-for their private perusal
only.
Imagine the Administration
CONSERVATION, therefore, when in
next mornings papers appeared
front page stories telling all about
the bill-and prominently dis
playing Mr.. Steagall's name in
connection with it.
Glass irately accused EccleS-
whom he doesn't like and whose
appointment he is holding up-of
bad faith.
The Reserve Board head, not
wanting to attack Steagall in or
der to clear himself, said nothing;
took the blame on his guiltleSs
shoulders.
But he will give Steagall a wide
berth in the future.
MOTEL the White House is
peeved at Steagall for jumping
the gun, Central Bank advocates
are not. They have known for
some time that the President was
on the fence regarding Eccles' bill,
which they view with much en-
thuSiasm. Therefore they think
Steagall's premature publicity
forced the administration into the
open before Glass could rush to
the White House and discourage
the President.

EVEN to Cabinet members,
IL names can be troublesome.
Hugo linden, distinguished ar
fist, attended a reception at the
home of Secretary of War Dern.
From Eastern Europe, linden is
darker of complexion than Nor
die Americans, and sharper of
feature.
But let him tell it:
1T was long receiving line
one of these where the guests
give their names to an announcer,
and from then on the members
of the receiving line pass it along
from one to another.
IT got off to a fine start, but
before I had changed hands many
times, was Mr.. Indren, then Mr.
Indrien, then Mr.. Indrian.
AT the end of the line, last of
all, was Mr.. Dern. When he got
me, I finally had become plain
Mr.. Indian, and he greeted me
as such.
Il could hardly restrain letting
out a wild and savage whoop!"

with the Garde; on the LETT wing,
at Tilsit, were Macdonald and the

This meant a front of close
