r. A. F. Trains Prince Bernhard
To Become Fighter Pilot
Mothers Consent for
Much Combat Work Is
Doubtful, However
BY the Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 21.-The Royal Air
Force is teaching 20-year- Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands how to
be fighter pilot-but is doubtful
whether he will get his mother-in-
laws consent to do much active
combat work.
The genial young husband of
Crown Princess Juliana volunteered
for instruction on how to perform
one of the toughest and most dan
gerous jobs of the war in order to
make himself more useful as colonel
Of Dutch forces and aide to Queen
Wilhelmina.
The Netherlands government in
exile has its own formations flying
with the Royal Air Force now and
the Prince is described as keen and
eager for the excitement of combat
work.
Nevertheless it is doubted that the
Queen would consent to her daugh-
ters' consort taking any great part
in flying involving the danger of
active combat work.
The German-born prince has been
taking lessons in secret for several
months and R. A. F.. instructors
treat him like any other rookie ex-
cept that he is granted some lati-
tude in the choice of training
periods"
Described as a natural" FLYER.
Bernhard was said by one source
TO be in an advanced stage of
training. He is soloing following

training periods, then drives back
to London for his regular duties
with the Dutch government in ex-
lie. Crown Princess Juliana and
their two children are in Canada.
Before the war Bernhard was
known throughout the world as a
devotee of automobile racing. To
this, and his mechanical bent, r.
A. F. instructors attribute much of
his aptitude for flying.
He meets all the rigid physical
requirements of the r. A. F., ex-
cept for a slight defect in vision,
for which he wears glasses.

Steel Bounces

The steel industry. recovering
from the blow dealt it by the
soft coal strike. is rapidly APP
preaching the best output in its
history. Even better records
will be attempted, since untitled
orders will remain huge for
many months at least.
Electric power consumption Is
waxing.
Wage increases are announced
almost daily. usually around 10
per cent. The cost of living
rose 7-10th of ! per cent last
month: the prospect is that ris-
ing wages and commodity prices
will bring a further increase
the commod ity index has
touched the highest level in
three years.
Unemployment proceeds apace.
Washington is urging four
shifts in defense plants. work
week of $50 hours. Whether
this will prove feasible. in face
of the limited skilled labor SUD-
ply. is questioned. Industrial
lists regard three 8-hour shifts,
6 DAYS a week. as more prac-
ticable.

Signs Of War

Every weather sign points
toward our early entry into the
war.
Men of affairs, consequently.
are devoting thought to analyz-
ing what is likely to happen if
and when we become embroiled.
For one thing, they have al
ready had quite taste of re-
stricted action by Washington,
in the form of prices, priorities.
etc. Therefore. they are pre-
pared for much more rigid
regulation.
Two different views prevail
concerning probable effect upon
trade if war comes. One school
reasons that the government
will take effective measures to
cut down normal spending:
curbing instalment buying, pros
pective abnormal excise taxes
on autos. household appliances,
etc. pushing of sales of savings
bonds. are among the methods
already disclosed.
The other school of thought
is that. since the national weekly
pay envelope is bound to be
far better filled. along with very
widespread accomplishment, con-
sumner buying will broaden.
The writer leans to the latter
view.

Simple Truths

Now. under the stress of
quickened activity incidental to
national defense and aid to
Great Britain and the other
democracies. the simple truths
are again emerging. Human
muscles and brains are not a
curse. but a blessing. The power
of the nation in this hard boiled
world in which we live depends
on human productivity. on ma
chimes and power equipment
and on natural resources.
The temporary inability TO
use them properly in the de-
preston was due TO a transient
unbalancing of the national
economy. Passing maladjust-
ments and disparities prevented
the gears in the industrial ma
chine from meshing with those
of agriculture. Until proper
remedies were found. the people
were subject TO exploitation by
doctrinalreS and CrackpotS who
made irrelevant economic obser-
NatlOnS.

Paper Industry
Production
AT Capacity

NEW YORK, May 12.-Produc-
ton in the paper industry for the
week ended May g. reached 1901
per cent of capacity. the highest
level ever reported by the Ameri-
can Paper and Pulp Association
on its present index of paper mill
activity.
In the week ended April 20.
paper production was at 1873 per
cent of capacity, while in the week
ended May 4, 1910, it was 1913
per cent.
The high rate of operation re-
fleets the extremely heavy demand
which has been bringing in new
orders faster than production.
Orders are still piling up and top
any previous level in the recent
history of the industry.
Paperboard production in the
week ended May 4 was at SO per
cent of capacity, compared with
"A per cent in preceding week.
The operating rate in the paper
board industry is figured against
the total capacity of the industry.

is closed down and will not be

climbed. TO 132. $50 cars and
trucks against only 9S.480 a

The railroads. always laggards
when industrial bettelment sets
in, are now receiving substan-
TALLY more freight. The latest
weekly returns ran fully 10 per
cent above the previous week
and almost 20 per cent above a
year ago. The definite outlook
is that even buster times are
ahead. Railway securities. espe-
cially bonds which have long
sold at heavy discount, have
