 IS,OOO Per Year
BY JOHN D. GONZALES United Press Staff COrrespondentD

CUnlted Press stafe Correspondent)
 Washington, July 14.- (UP)--Arnericarl Industry, even without the stimulation of the country being actually at war, is producing weapons at a rate that was not gen. orally achieved in 1917 until the United States had been in the World war for months. A survey of armament prog xess as compared with production in 1917 revealed that in many categories, industry now is even ahead Of the rate reached when the armistice was signed on November 1l, 1918.
 Some "then and now" armament comparisons are difficult, but the consensus of defense officials is that the United States is rearming more speedily after i4 months of defense effort than 1t was in April, 1917 three years after the World war started.
 The American armed forces today are stronger in manpower, ma chimes and materials than they were when war was declared 24 years ago.
 War department records show that on April 6, 1917, the army had iSS,. 900 regulars ands 67I000 National

 Great Britain

Moscow, July l4 -(Up)- The Soviet British agreement on mutual defense and @ finish fight against Germany, backed by the "tremen- dotS' resources of the United States, seals the fate of Adolf Hit- Ter, Pravda, official Communist party organ, asserted today.
 While endless columns of trains carry wounded German soldiers away from the Russian front, the Royal Air Force Is intensifying its destruction of western industrial centers and undermining German defense capacity, Pravda said.
 All newspapers gave prominent display to photographs of the cere. mony at which Premier Josef Stal- in, Foreign Comnissar v. M. Molo- toy and British Ambassador Sir Stafford Cripps signed the accord. It showed them in friendly poses.
 Press and radio reported a wave of mass meetings hailing the "fra- ternal union of Democratic nations fighting @ common enemy"
 The man on the street displayed considerably more enthusiasm than was shown after the Soviet German non-aggreSsion pact. A typical comment, made by an automobile mechanic, was:

BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff COrrespOndentD

London, July 14.-(UP)- Prime Minister Winston Churchill pledged today that Britain would lave "no truce or barley with Adolf Hitler or other Nazi leaders and promised that Britain will bomb German cities as hard or harder than the Luftwaffe has blasted Britain.
 Churchill declared that Britain had advanced to c position ct least of equality and soon Of superior- ity" to Germany in the air and promised that Britain never would turn from her purpose however somber the road, however, grieviovs the cost, until Q new freedom and glory for all mankind is born"
 we will have no truce or barley with Hitler or the grizzly gang who did HitlerB wicked worst" said the prime minister.
 He revealed that "in the last few weeks," British hombers have dropped upon Germany about half the weight of bombs which the der- man air force has dropped on Bri- tain since the start of the war.
 But this, he said, Is only the be- ginning.
 He promised that the tide of bombing of the Reich will rise and rise "month after month and year after year."
 We will mete out to the Ger- mans the measure and more than the measure that they have been meting out to us. It Is time that the Germans should be made to suffer something of the torment which within our lifetime they let loose on their neighbors.
 Italy Also In Danger
 GAS the nights lengthen that un- happy province of Germany which used to be called Italy will have its share of bombinss.
 Churchill's pledge of mo truce Of barley" came within 24 hours of an- nouncement of 6 joint declaration by Britain and Russia, pledging common fight to the finish and no separate peace. It echoed the al- most identical words spoken last week by Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden.
 Churchill charged that Hitler de- Hberately embarked upon an att tempt to rage the cities of Britain an attempt launched by the Luft- waffe last autumn after the Royal Air Force had defeated German plans for invasion of Britain.
 He characterized the attempted raging as 'linexampled tn history"
 Mere Savage Attacks
