Some defense batteries which for

British missiles.
German and Italian anti-aircraft

Flashes from shore batteries had

Suddenly, a mighty flash of yell

fagship's 15-inch guns. Then a
full Salvo from the long, gray
barrels of the lesser guns. Their
targets were the Spanish fort, bar

I braced myself, adjusted my steel

In few seconds the guns of this

The huge battleship shuddered.
Bursts of fire made the coming

NEW YORK. April 23.-The
United States has enough unused
productive capacity to provide both
guns and butter" Emmett F. Con-
nelly, president of the Investment
Bankers Association of America,
said today. He advocated immediate
expansion of consumer goods in
dustries as a check on price spiral
ing caused by the defense program.
The billion dollars being spent
monthly for defense is not only
causing great demand for consumers
goods as workers spend their wages
more literally. but will soon create
a need for expansion of plants in
feeder industries" Mr.. Connely said
at a meeting Of the New York
KiWanis Club.
Avoidance of a price spiral lies
at the very foundation of our
production policy 1t must be
avoided at all costs or it may stale
mate production. rack our industrial
system to pieces and create we'll

after the war is over"

servers freely offer TO bet not only

We hear estimates which range
from S20.000000,0O0 to S24 900, ,00O.-

Manufacturers SAYS it will be
about SO O0OOO0.0OO - $1,000 900 600

Some financial analysts say only

tary outlays below S7000,000 900,

Check Up on Coal.
1t will take three TO six days for
coal to reach consumers after btu
minous mines reopen. A check up

Steel industry: Production al

Railroads; Some facing curtail-

ports from retail and wholesale gro-
GERS have shown a big pickup in
food sales in the last week or so.

Five New Ordnance Factories.
In a summary of ordnance ac-
tivlties during the first nine months
of the current fiscal year. Mr.. Knox
disclosed that SLOTS, 100000 had
been expended or committed to
contracts, BY June 80, this total
is expected to pass the 81 SOC, ,0O0,-

The funds obligated thus far in

sion of plant facilities and the es-
tablishment of five new naval ord
nance factories. located at Louis
vile, KY: Canton. Ohio; Macon.
Ga; Centerline, Mich, and In
dianapolis, Ind
Machine tools are the critical
item in nearly all cases Of plant
expansion, and the speed with which
quantity production can be started
is governed very largely by their
availability" the progress report
declared.
Secretary Knox noted that IA
cility expansion sponsored by the
| Ordnance Bureau is being paral-
leled by other Navy Department
I sections. The expansion, he pointed
out. is OF necessity controlled by
priority agreements on part of the
Navy, the Army and the ONCE OF
Production Management.
Slowed by Lack or Facilities
Although it might well be said
| that lack of funds is no longer an
obstacle to the procurement of
necessary military items, it is equal
| ly true that production prioritieS
now limit what can be done in much
! the same way. Where lack of funds
has ceased to be a controlling fac
/ tor, lack of production facilities has
| taken it's place. at least temporar-
| ily," Mr.. KnoX's report declared.
To complete its expansion pro-
gram the Navy will need 379 500 tons
of armor plate, 165,397 tons of steel
for projectiles, ranging from 8 to Is
inches in diameter, and 1890 tons
of special steel for anti-aircraft ma
ehine-gun ammunition.
In addition the Navy requires 7i25
tons of steel for bomb castings, 4,400
tons of steel for torpedoes, as well as
1880 tons of castings for mines and
depth charges.
He also revealed that the Navy
needs 122 1856, 900 pounds of brass for
3-inch and larger cartridge cases
and 261 ,294 900 pounds of brass cas-
ing for machine gun and heavy au-
tomato cartridges.

Does that estimate mean deliver
les of tanks, planes, guns and ships
will amount to only sl2,500 900 900
next year? Yes. II the estimate is
correct, it means armament produc-
ton will average only a billion dol
lars a month-the rate 1t is eX-
pected to reach as early as this
July.
Does this mean the Treasury has
reason to believe armament spend
ing will stabilize and stop expand
ing soon? Many financial experts
say no; the Treasury is just being
ultra conservative.
The estimate of $4,000 900. 900 for
total spending during the year is
only gentle increase from Roose-
velts January budget estimate of
SIT SOC, 900 900. which did not include
lend-leaSe outlays.
1t make sthe Treasury's tax pro-
posalS look very good. If spending
amounted to only $4,000. 900 900, the
new tax recommendations would
raise 81 out of every So spent. This
is goal they have been shooting at.
If total spending should reach
s24 ,000, 900 ,000-as some think it may
the proposed tax burden would not
provide much more than 81 out of
every 81 laid out.
The estimate made the amount of
borrowing the Treasury will have to
do during the next year look rather
small.
