Plane Sets Record

Reports from the coast indi-
cate that the second of the PISS
off the Lockheed production line
for the Army Air Corps has been
flown in the stratosphere faster
than any plane has ever been
flown in level flight. The exact
speed is an army secret.
Milo Burcham, famed stunt
flier, was at the controls of the
twin-engined fighter plane, run
ming service ceiling tests, accord
ing to information released by
Lockheed and approved by the
army. The speeds and attitudes
were recorded by a movie cam
era set up in the plane to pho
tograph an auxiliary instrument
panel.
Completed several weeks ago,
the first of the PISS has been
undergoing exhaustive tests
under every possible condi-
ton. 1t will next undergo
further testing by the air corps
at Wright Field, Dayton. Several
hundred are on order for the
government and upwards of a
thousand for Britain.

Much Happened

But much has happened since
then.
An authoritative London COM
pilation gives British, Allied and
neutral ship losses for the first
Is months Of the war as 1,245
ships. totaling 1852. 257 tons.
Since the war began the British
have lost 757 ships of 3,171, 273
tons, Allied nations, 1913 ships of
S75 POP tons and neutral nations,
295 ships of $751; tons.
And now that Hitler has I'M
leashed an unprecedented num-
Der of submarines, the prospect
is that British sinkings will be-
come still heavier.
incidentally. known German
losses for the war period are
listed as so ships, 268,542 ton
mage, captured; II ships, APO, 947
tonnage, sunk. However, it is
estimated that an additional 129
ships have been sunk.

Forbes
Will u. S. Lead
World in Ships
When War Ends?

"The United states will
emerge from the war rs the
most powerful maritime nation
on earth"
That statement was made to
me this week by an American
shipping magnate.
When I repeated it to another
authority, he said:
81 think that Is an overopti-
mistic prediction when you
consider that Britain had fully
twice our tonnage at the begin
ming of the war;"
What are the facts?
Lloyd's 1939-40 register, in
round figures, credited the Brit
ish Empire with 81, 900. 900 ton
mage. 8,977 ships; the United
States with 100000 tonnage,
2.345 ships. Somewhat later
America was credited with H.
100000 tonnage.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-19
TONNAGE GROWING

All this resolves itself into the
fact that British ships are being
destroyed at an alarming rate,
while Americas tonnage is being
rapidly expanded and is sched-
uled to be far more rapidly
expanded from now on.
Moreover, United States ton
mage is not being sent to the
bottom of the sea.
Again, Hitler lately has con-
centrated upon bombing Britain's
most important shipbuilding
center, Glasgow. Since his latest
avowed objective is starving
Britain through depriving her OF
imports. his attacks upon British
shipbuilding yards are likely to
become intensified.
Congress has shown the great
est readiness to vote abundant
sums for both mercantile and
naval ship construction.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-19
Seize Ships

Then, it Is estimated that
there are 100000 tons of idle
merchant shipping in the West
ern Hemisphere belonging to
Germany, Denmark, Italy, etc.
Should we become embroiled in
the war, a considerable number
of such ships would become SUBJ
ject to seizure by us.
One trustworthy statistical
statement shows that between
1914 and June 80. 1899, the
United States showed the larg-
est increase of all countries in
tonnage, namely. from (exclud-
ing lake vessels) a little over
100000 to nearer 5000, 900.
Some United States ships are
being transferred to British
registry.
Everything considered. II may
be that the end of the war will
find the United States owner OF
the largest number and tonnage
of mercantile ships.
All this is predicated on the
assumption that Hitler will not
succeed in subjugating Britain
and seizing her vast mercantile
marine as we'll as her gigantic
naval fleet. Such a catastrophe
is inconceivable.

23MiHions Profit
By Montgomery Ward

CHICAGO, March 19.-Mont-
gomery Ward & Co., Inc. reported
for the fiscal year ended January
81 net profit of S23.028, OF,
equal to S4.14 share on the COM
mon, against SGT ,010.645 or S4.91
on the common in the preceding
years. The gain of sc per cent
in net sales was more Than offset
by the sharply higher taxes.
Sales and profit before taxes
were the highest in the history of
the company. Federal and state
income taxes rose from S7,300,000
in Jan. 81 1910, fiscal year to
SO, 8S5, 900 in the last fiscal year

Over 100 Per Cent

The steel industry, however,
IL operating at an all-time high.
Despite increased capacity, IL Is
running at over 100 per cent of
capacity. In this basic industry
there Is q sort of race between
"a the growing demands for
war materials plus the usual
Spring seasonal demands for tin
plate agricultural implements,
etc, and CD the let-down in
forward buying just referred to.
Probably the huge activity In
automobile production will have
to be curtailed In order to allow
the volume of tanks, airplane
motors, ETC., which must be ex-
pected to develop soon.
Last week saw engineering
construction awards, at $751;
6O6,000, gain % per cent. Rubber
and tire production is at a very
high rate. Textile plants are
running at full capacity, with
cotton and cotton goods prices
rising. and much talk Of price
fixing.
