Rising figures Of American war
lplane production indicate. in the
belief of most defense industry
leaders today. that unless Ger

such a victory will be gone.

as aluminium or major delays due

lplane industry will have achieved
such mass output that one Amer

production Of combat planes.
The German warplane produc-
ton today is officially estimated
as being between 1900 and 1000
combat ships a month. The high
est announced monthly output OF
American military planes was just
over 400, and approximately 400
of those were trainers.
PRODUCTION CURVE UP
But the American production
curve Is sharply upward and new
manufacturing and assemb ~
plants are coming into operation
almost daily. Mass production of
ia dozen models of bombers, fight

production by the end Of the year,
unless bottleneckS choke the flow.
Several of these new models,
which l have seen put through
their PAGES in final tests. make the
MosSerSchmittS, Stukas. Junkers
and even the new German Focke
WulfeS seem reminiscent OF the
days of the Wright brothers.
OLD PLANES MADE RECORD
American aviation got a black
eye in the first year of the war
because the planes il was able to
furnish did not meet all the re-
qulrements Of type Of conflict
for which they were never in
tended. The wonder in military
circles today is that those make
shift models did make an enviableI
record.
The CurtisS P-40 was a stop-gapI
model, powered by an engine for
which it was not designed. The
Allison engine crowded into its
nose took up so much room that
the oil tank had to be put out on
the back porch. causing occa-
sional mechanical trouble. And yet

willing to sacrifice agriculture to get
international trade. II, and when they
succeed in crushing agriculture by
breaking down the protective barriers
for agriculture, while they are still
on a higher standard of living and
enjoying thriving import trade, the
results will inevitably be less bust

the farmers in the producing area.

Your editorial in a recent issue of
The Voice on the work of the Labor
Co-ordinator is Internationally mis-
leading.
The department of Agriculture, La
Dor and Industry as far as Labor is
concerned, has rarely functioned and
been of any benefit to labor since it
was reorganized by the legislature of
1921.
The last session of the legislature
drastically reduced the appropriation
for the division of labor and the 1egis-
lature of 1888 made no appropriation
whatsoever.
The Labor Co-ordinator was paid
out of the administration fund of the
highway department and the water
conservation board and his duty was
to see to it that the contractors paid
the wages written into the contract
and that the employees were not
worked over eight hours as required
by the contract. The Labor Co-ordi-
nator saw to it that the part of the

Dear Mr.. Bruce:
What l would like to know is when
the people of this state are going to
wake up and drop those senators on
vacation. Men that made the gin
marriage law and the old-age robbery
law and still get their vacation on
pay. What l mean by robbery is that
they take what I paid for by days
work and paid taxes on too that I
might have a place of my own when
got old and there are many more
in the state the same way. And that
is not all, they give me $500
month while there are others that
get $40 and $25 that never paid
dime of taxes and have no property
for them to take which is no fault of
mine. They want me to pay the taxes
on what / can not sell or give away.
Yet they say we have no class legis-
lation in the state. We sent three
new men from Ravalli county. Our
senator voted for pension while 10
voted against it. Stanley Antrim
sneaked out to keep from voting. That
will be nice when they run again.
And we should not forget our COVER
nor for the veto on the old peoples
hunting and fishing license. The only
bill that was passed while they were
on their vacation, for the old people.

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
1t requires no particular persp1cac-
lily or special clairvoyance to under
stand the mentality of certain self
styled writer's from even a thousand
words. In this instance deductions
could be drawn from the excess YER
biage which has extended over many
months. From the vehemence Of Mr..
Stahlberg's rejoinder, one would
gather that this understanding had
touched vulnerable spot
1t is indeed revealing to learn from
Mr.. Stahlberg that Russia was not
ready until after the Finnish expert
ence." Previously, Mr.. Stahlberg had
lost no occasion on which to use his
column for denouncing the effort OF
the Soviet Union to protect its bor-
ders. Evidently, Mr.. Stahlberg knew
better than he wanted his readers to
know. Or did he prefer that the Soviet
Union remain mot ready?"
At the present time frontal at
tack on the Soviet Union is poor
strategy. One uses an oblique method.
One makes a great TODD about free
speech for those who oppose aid to
the Soviet Union, and one denounces
in personal invective those who favor
the presidents foreign policy.
The other points in Mr.. Stahlberg's
reply are merely distortion of my
position in order to provide the op-
portunity for his replies.
AS for the crudity Of the personal
to me, these can naturally
be traced to the enduring blight of
his early environment 1t is also the
expression Of the more recent bitter
ness engendered by Mr.. Stahlberg's
dismissal from the writer's project. In
all, it is characteristic of Mr.. Stahl-
berg's journalism-name calling.
