Delivery Of Planes
To Britain Stepped Up
500 Per Cent in 1910

1900 Delivered
Nv JOSEPH s. EDGERTON.

American aircraft manufacturers
responded to the British demand for
airplanes by 600 per cent increase
in warplane deliveries to England
during 1910 as compared with 1899.
The results OF a survey of the in
dustry announced today by the Avi-
alton News Committee of the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce of
America show that during 1910
nearly 1900 airplanes were delivered
to England and Canada as COM
pared with approximately 300 during
the whole of 1899.
The acceleration In delivery was
particularly marked during the last
half of 1910, the committee reported,
on the basis of the industrial survey
and authentic government statistics,
compiled in Washington.
1000 In Six Months.
From January to June, 1910, in
elusive, 275 airplanes were delivered.
For the July-December period, de-
liveries totaled approximately 1900
airplanes.

from the National Socialist party
organization. They are soldiers and
disciplined like soldiers. They are
under orders to wear their uniforms
at all times so that there can be
no mistake about their identity.
But even then little misunder-
standings occur. The wife of an
American correspondent, who speaks
German better than she does French
bumped into a non-commissioned
ofiicer one evening.
Watch where you're going" he
growled.
Whom do you think you're talk
ing to?" she retorted.
"JJust because you speak German
don't try to start an argument with
me-" he answered.
IF you don't like it, take me to
your superior officer. and we'll see,
she answered spunkily.
The German backed away, saluted
and disappeared.
One of the major French COM
plants against the Germans is the
buying they have done in French
shops with their occupation marks.
This money, distributed by Reichs-
bank ONCE in Paris, is the official
currency with which the occupation
forces are paid. 1t is stabilized at
the rate of one mark to 20 francs
but has little real value because the
Bank of France will have to retire
it all when peace treaty finally Is
signed. Financial authorities have
estimated the cost of the occupation
at about 4,O00,0 900 francs a day.
Went on Buying Sprees.
The Germans, in the first months
of the occupation, bought such large
quantities of cloth, shoes, silk stock
ings, shirts, socks, underwear, per-
fume, candy, jewelry and other
articles that the military was forced
to limit the weight Of packages
which could be sent or taken to Ger
many. Since then. the buying ha,
declined, but there are empty shelves
in many stores.
Even so, it was good business for
many French merchants. One store
keeper told me he had moved out
old stocks which he'd had in hi,
basement for years. He was q little
dubious about the money he had
received in exchange for his mer-
chandise, but his bank had allowed
him to credit 1t to his franc ac-

BY ROY P. PORTER
NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-Ask al
most any Frenchman you meet in
Paris what he thinks of the atti-
tude of the German occupation
forces, and his reply will be: Very
correct"
What he means is that the in
dividual German officer or soldier,
obeying strict orders, has been
conducting himself politely and
courteously.
He doesn't shove women and
children out of his way off the
sidewalk. He doesn't order the best
table in a restaurant vacated be-
cause he and his blond secretary
want to sit there. He doesn't smoke
in the subway any more. since the
company put up the 'rauchen ver-
boten" signs.
Even Lends Extra Rations.
He does sometimes give up his
seat to Frenchwomen in subway
trains and buses, often more quick
ly than his French or American
companions. If he is an officer, he
often takes his foreign friends in
his car if they have neither an au-
tomobile nor gasoline. He has, on
certain occasions, helped out his
French acquaintances by lend
ing" them meat or butter tickets
from his more than adequate food
coupons.
Outside of the fact that he has
been ordered to behave himself and
try to make the French like him,
he does this because he likes Paris,
its world-famous food, its beauti-
full, well-dressed women and its re-
turning atmosphere of gayety and
amusement.
The French have been slow to
react to this correctness. Suspi-
cious by nature, they see an obvious
German attempt to win them over
The French have progressed
through three distinct periods since
that June morning when German
mechanical and motorized units
rolled into the capital.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30

Women are fortunate today, for benefic aspects guide them. It is date that augurs little change for men and their interests.
 Heart and Home Under this rule of the stars emotions come to the surface and should be wisely con- trolled Girls may expect romance. This evening is most propitions for engagements to marry. It is also a happy wedding date Under this configuration women of all ages should put away dull care. and count their blessings. Warning is given that it is imperative to be courageous in all things as world changes cast their influence over free people.
 Business Affairs: Men and women who control wealth or hold inter ests in big business should study the trend of the times. The stars seem to indicate that through, this year incomes will be substantially reduced by taxes and large contri- buttons for public welfare. In the new order of things financial re- adjustments will affect persons of all degrees of security and the wise will restrict their possessions, con dense their holdings.
 National Issues: The study of social and economic problemSiiwili engage extraordinary attention Or ators will gain fame on the plat form and over the radio. PerSonS of all ages will take an interest in current events as history in, the making is discussed. .5 International Affairs: Many fnen who have carried heavy reSpon- abilities in the second world war now will break under the long strain of anxiety. Death will release British statesmen past middle age and officers of the navy and army will come to the close of brilliant careers. Among adherents to the Axis more than one assassination is forecast, while blood purges will mark defeat or reverses of Hitler and Mussolini forces. Next month should be most disappointing for Hitler.
 Persons whose birthdate it it have the augury of year of in- creased activity and responsibility Travel and public service are fore told
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be kindly, dignified and diplomatic. These Aquarians may be quick-tempered and inclined toward pessimism. Copyright, 194I t

4 WORD ABOUT BUDGETS

Those who have seen Legislatures and go are not particularly alarmed at $5000OO increase in Territorial office budget requests for the next biennium. The amount requested is usually larger than the amount finally appropriated by the Legis- ature and it is unfair for this to set the quests for 1941-43 against the amount actually ap- propriated for l939-4l if they were strictly com psrative
 Instead should probably compare the 1941- 43 recommendations made yesterday with the recom- mendations made by the Board of Budget two years ago. The Board then asked $4 O91 O69 38 Although the Legislature added s3OO0OO the road appropria tion recommended by the Board and the final ap- propriaton total $4423e1o the actual Territorial expenditures during the biennium totaled only $3- oS6 699475 up to December 31 1940.
 The requests for l94l43 total s4 921 383 2O which s iot uloney Put Alaskans should not get the de3 hat this represents money ae good as spent They should remember that requests for $4 4239lC two years meant only S38869o475 actually spent Before a cent of the new near-fiye million budget is spent appropriations measures will have to go through the Ways and Means Committee of the House and Finance Committee of the Senate through hearings, through both houses of the Legislature be approved by the Governor and expenditures made with the approval of the Administrative Board Budget wings trimmed all the way along this line,
 There is something else to remember however which weighs in the opposite direction. This is that number of appropriations outside the budget items will very likely be sought. The Governor may make suggestions along this line in his message today There is nothing in the budget as submitted for armories and the Governor gave notice some months ago he would make request for this purpose Mem bers of both houses will also have appropriation ideas of their own to fight for Junior colleges have been mentioned; so has building program for the Uni Verslty Of Alaska Any such appropriation measure getting through the Legislature will be extra and

Defeat Dogs Italians
Cleveland Plain Dealerl

(CeVeland Plain Dealer)
 It is doubtful if the Italians could avoid defeat even if the morale of their army all that could be desired. The tactics of Mussonis general staff show degree of ineptitude that breed only contempt in the minds of their German ally while 1t naturally delights the British.
 The Italians using large air forces in a counteroffensve against the Greeks in Albania This will do them little good for the nature of the fight ing in the Albanian Mountains makes air warfare vr tually useless The Indian tactics of the Greek troops cannot be parried with planes.
 Planes would be of some consequence in Libya where British motorized divisions rapidly advanc- ing across the sands past the naval base at Tobruk But there reports of aerial warfare of any consequence on the Italian side in Africa.
 The Fascist press acclams the fall of Barda as victory because the heroism shown by it's de- lenders is proof that Italy will win in the end Such reasoning probably does not fool the Italian people and it doesn't fool the world. The fact of the matter is that lack of morale in the troops and clumsiness on the part of the army command write defeat in large letters the face of the Italian empire

 With this encouragement he then asked John Cowles, publisher of the Minneapolis Star Journal and vice-presjdent of the Des Moines Register and Tribune. if he would go along. Cowles jumped at the idea and Willkie then telephoned Secertary Hull.

We are all up against much the same problem-how to enjoy every inch of life and still stay out of trouble. In the thrilling new 2Oth Century-Fox film, "It Could Hap pen To You, which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre. Mac Wilson got into plenty of this thing called trouble, and he'd still be in it If it hadn't been for the in- genuity of his clever and devoted wife, Doris.
 Packed tight with the realistic experiences of this young couple rising in the world of hard knocks, this film tells an intensely human story of loyalty and ambition. AL though the hero is in the shadow of the electric chair you'll rock with laughter at the same time that your throat feels a bit taut. It's a really stirring experience, this mystery picture, which is real istic enough to live up to it's title completely

 The British in their North African campaign are writing first-rate textbook modern military tactics.
 The Italians, at the beginning of the campaign, outnumbered the British by about 250O00 to 100000 But at every point of attack-at Sidi Barani and at Tobruk-the British outnumbered the Italians.
