NEW YORK. Jan. s (INS).--
The National Association of Manu-
facturers said today that President
Roosevelt's war production pro-
gram of $4,000 planes, $4,000
tanks and 100000 tons of ship
ping in 1913 will mean:
. Production of one plane every
four minutes.
. Production of one tank every
seven minutes.
. Construction of at least two
ships day.
To achieve the objective, it was
estimated that aircraft industry
workers would have TO be in
creased from $4,000 in 1910 to
upwards of 1892 900 in 1913.

Now, surely, in this very

As for England, il is al

II is possible that We might

ticient part of the 10000 air
planes, the 1900 tanks and
the 10000 anti-aircraft guns
producible in 1912 to save the
Philippine, and adequately to
aid Singapore.
That sad possibility is due
TO our previous unpreparcd-
ness and to the billions of APP
preparations once wasted.
But at the Philippines and
Singapore the brutal aggres-

would be essential justice and a
practical necessity.
Our experience with the con-
troll OF other prices during the
past few months has brought out
one important fact-the rising
cost of living can be controlled,
providing all elements making up
the cost of living are controlled
at the same time. We know that
parity prices for farm products
not now controlled will not put
up the cost of living more than
very small amount; but that If
we must go up to an average of
ll6 per cent of parity for food
and other farm products-which
is necessary at present under the
Emergency Price Control Act be-
fore we can control all farm
prices-the cost of living will get
we'll out of hand. We are face
D.. to face with this danger today.
Let us meet it and remove it.
I realize that it may seem out
of proportion to you to be worry
ing about these economic prob
lens at a time like this when we
are all deeply concerned about
the news from far-distant fields
of battle. But l give you the
solemn assurance that failure to
solve this problem here at home
and to solve it noW-will make
more difficult the winning of this
war.
If the vicious spiral of imitation
ever gets under way, the whole
economic system will stagger.
Prices and wages will 60 up so
rapidly that the entire produc-
tion program will be endangered.
The cost of the war, paid by tax
payers, will jump beyond all
present calculations. 1t will mean
an uncomfortable rise in prices
and in wages which can result in
raising the overall cost of living
as high as another 20 per cent.
That would mean that the pur-
chasing power of every dollar you
have in your pay envelope, or in
the bank, or included in your in
surance policy or your pension
would be reduced to about 80
cents. I need not tell you that
this would have demoralizing
effect on our people, soldiers and
civilians alike
Overall stabilization of prices,
salaries, wages and profits is nee
essary to the continued increas-
ing production of planes and
tanks and ships and guns.

gun and co-operated with other
members of the crew in driving off
the attackers until the plane reached
1000 feet and the enemy was forced
to withdraw.
AT this high altitude, Hascall, well
knowing the danger of anoxia, risked
