 Somewhere in England, March IS We are sitting in a village pub. We are still dazed, just little sick though two hours have passed since 1t happened.
 You see, Ann had come up to the airdrome that afternoon to collect the belongings of Bruce Hancock, her sergeant pilot fiance who, the day before, had crashed his unarmed Miles trainer into 8 German fighting plane.
 My friend Charlie had just fin- ished testing new bomber that was to carry him and his crew of sec- ond pilot, bomb man, observer, and Germany the next night. I had rear gunner to the RAF target in been watching him gun the engines.
 Returning to the officers mess, we met Ann with her arms loaded. Charlie invited her to dinner-and that was when 1t happened. THE DARK SKIES
 HOLD A TRAGEDY
 Midway through the praised ham, there was the roar of heavy bLmber overhead It just skinned the mess hall roof, then suddenly it pulled up and droned away.
 But 1t was back in minute or two trying to find that flying field which now was obscured by dark ness, fog and the rain that had been threatening all day.
 Nobody in the mess was talking now. The officers just looked blank ly at one another. They were con- centrating on trying to pick up the sound which would indicate a safe landing.
 The men waiting on table had strained look. They had seen this happen before.
 Then Charlie said, Let's go out side"

Sales during the first quarter
jumped TO S6,214, 165 from $3,205.-
378 in the like period of 1910, and
sales have been running at that
rate in April as well. The future is
too uncertain to permit predic-
tions, Doehler said. but the COM
pany is assured of very good half
year.
The company's business has been
affected by government restric-
tons in the form of priorities on
metals. Doehler stated, but de-
tense work is filling the gap and
plants are running at almost ca
pacity.
The proportion of defense work
to the total wor': by the company
is going up and is now about 20
per cent. while commercial ratio
is declining. Most of the defense
work done by Doehler is subcon-
tracing. and the margin OF profit
on defense business is about the
same as on commercial business.

Limit Prices

While shortages already exist

And all three methods are al

Although the author admits that
this condition is often a prelim-
mary TO general credit. initiation,
he does not consider il the real
thing. However. the metamorpho-
sis may take place before the en-
tire country is operating at ca
pacity because neither productive
capacity nor labor is entirely mo-
bile and unused capacity in some
industries may not prevent grave

EARLY Control

An inflationary movement Is
much more amenable to con-
troll in its early stages than
after the speculative fever Is on
q rampage and growing costs
and admonitions cease to deter
unwise speculation, he points
out.
Goldenweiser also explodes
that old hocum that speculation
benefits the debtor at the ex-
pense of the creditor.
In our modern economy, the
principal debtors are the banks,
the insurance companies and the
largo corporations while the
most numerous creditors are
millions OF holders of savings
accounts and insurance policies.
While initiation does reduce
the purchasing power of savings
and Insurance, IL does not help
the banks or insurance COM
panles because their assets and
liabilities are both in terms Of
dollars and their overall cOndi-
ton Is not affected.
True, he says that some debt
ors are helped temporarily. They
are the ones whose labor Is
supplied by their own families
and whose income Is depend
ent on one or two cash COM
modities. But in the end infla-
tion destroys their market.

D.trolt Time. Financial Editor

Detroit Times Financial Editor
In the latest Federal Reserve
Bulletin, there's an article entitled
Initiation by f. A. Goldenweiser,
director Of Research and Statistics
which in our opinion constitutes
an accurate forecast of the gov
ernment's monetary policy.
OF course a note at the bottom
Of the page says that the views
expressed here are those OF the
writers" etc, but nevertheless in
the light of past events, the au-
thor's article carries plenty OF
weight.
To start with, he limits infla-
ton 10 two types-fiat money in
flation and credit initiation. Gold
enweiser rules out the possibility
of fiat money by pointing to the
excellence of this country's credit
standing.
However. he contends that when
a government needs TO spend more
than il can raise in normal ways.
il would be better advised to meet
the situation by directly conscript-
ing the goods and services needed,
rather than deteriorating its
money and thus disrupting its en-
tire economy.
1t is not within the realm OF
possibilities that this country will
have this type of bankruptcy in
flation, he says.
