Duties ON imports Of furs (dressed or
manufactured) for the same period Will
amount to $4,000, and receipts from the
sale Of furs that become the property Of
the Federal Government will be In excess
of 100000, making grand total Of
$12,32o, 600.
The Division Of Civilian Supply, Once
Of Production Management, realizes that
men and women in the fur industry are
especially trained and could not work In
the manufacturing plants where arms,
munitions, automobiles or airplanes are
made Therefore, it is vitality necessary
not only to maintain but increase the
raw fur supply to keep those people en-

Besides the curtailment Of imports, In

Greater engine powers are fast being

Rangier planes, being developed both
by the United States and Its enemies,

of all, to supply furs to protect men in

Furs Must Serve Millions
'Furs can be made to serve the millions
of men and women who will be on guard
in every town and village in this coun-
try" says William Brett, editor Of the
Fur Trade Review. He continues "day
and night vigils will encounter frosts.
wind and snow, and these people should
be equipped, as far as possible, with fur
and fur-lined apparel"
A large proportion of our imported
furs came from countries now dominated
by the Axis powers. War with Japan
may cause all shipping in the Pacific to
cease and this will prevent our receiving
furs from China, Russia, Australia and
Evening star., 1942-01-25

Few people realize the important part
played by furs in the life of our country.
Yes, In the lives Of every American, and
what is more surprising is that scarcely
anyone knows the important role fur can
play in winning the war.
In the recent Russo Finnish campaign,
the Firms, although greatly outnumbered,
were able to repel the Russians again
and again before they were conquered.
We know the Films are fierce fighters and
can stand the rigors of the far north, as
can the Russians; but the Films had the
more modern equipment and their uni
forms were entirely adequate for fighting
In the Arctic
Fur hats, fur gloves, and fur-lined ap-
parel contributed greatly to the stand
made by the Films against the poorly
clad Russians. The Russians learned their
lesson only, however, through a great
loss Of men freezing to death because of
insufhciently warm clothing. Today we
know they have them and today we see
the results. The Russian forces have
trapped goodly number of German divi-
sions, who dared not retreat because
there were no shelters from the Russian
winter for distances of over a hundred
miles and then nothing but the skeletons
Of ruined villages and wrecked cities.
80 then came that peculiar and SOL
emn radio request" says Carl Sandburg,
"of Goebbels and Hitler saying warm
clothes must be sent to the freezing
German troops on the Russian front.
Reading that order slowly out loud you
will see that If you were citizen In Ger
many or any of the conquered countries
you would think twice before going out
on the street in fur or woolen clothes
that looked fine and warm. Wearing fur
coat, fur cap or gloves you would expect
to start q riot. This was one item not
thought Of when Hitler began his war
on the largest fur producing country in
the world
So, let us think twice. Fur in war-it is
. new idea to us but vital one. The
struggles abroad should open our eyes, as
never before, to the extent and possibili-
ties of this American resource. Yes, furs
can be made to serve National Defense.
The effect of World War I on the fur
trade was revolutionary, and CONNER
cially it worked to the advantage Of the
United States.
Under changed conditions the Ameri-
can trade purchased furs in all markets.
and foreign dealers shipped considerable
portions of their annual collection to
American markets and foreign buyers
Travelled to the United States to purchase
their supplies. The modern fur trade de-
veloped since 1914 from one Of relatively
small proportions into one of the largest
and most important industries In exist

nautical engineers are only now be-
ginning to tap the possibilities Of the
future.
Two years ago . leading American
engineer took . model Of . proposed
warplane to the wind tunnel labora-
tories Of New York University for test
ing. A wind tunnel Is Just what the
name implies device to simulate
speeds and air conditions under care
fully controlled laboratory conditions
Weeks later he emerged shaking his
head.
"It doesn't seem possible" he said.
Unheard.of Speed
The model plane indicated . full
scale speed unheard Of in aviation.
To double his findings. and
suspicious that the wind tunnel itself
was at fault. the engineer took the
model to another tunnel, at the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology. Weeks
of work followed. The results were
almost identical.
That design, known as the Burnelh
all-wing type, likely will appear in some
form, along with others Of sensa-
tional character, during the course OF
the war We can consider the Burnelh
type here because it is not on the War
Departments restricted list.
Developed by Vincent J. Burnell, long
a figure in American aviation circles, it
differs from conventional airplanes In
the same way that the Northrop Flying
Wing" announced last fall, differs.
In looking at tomorrow's airplanes, we
must bear in mind that for all their
knowledge, engineers are still cropping
in the dark in trying to find out what
makes q plane behave as it does at high
speeds and high attitudes. Improve
ments are made gradually.
Neither the Northrop nor the Burnelli
design is production type Is yet, even
though experimental planes in both
classes have been flown. How long it
would take to create production types
OF them is q matter Of conjecture.
Burnelli proceeds on the theory that
the conventional airplane has gradu-
ally been patterned from the inherited
idea Of . streetcar or motorcar body ar
rangement with wings applied"
That. he says, Is wrong. He argues

Furs use to rank in the first Is chief
exports and imports according to relative
value. Today, practically no furs are
exported and during the first eight
months of 1941 there has been $63, 100 900
worth of furs imported. Roughly speak
ing, there has been consumed in the
United States for the past two years ap-
proximately 5000, 900 900 worth of raw
furs. The yearly retail turnover in the
fur trade is now estimated to be about
$3.50 900 600; in 1929, the peak year. it
reached half billion dollars. Fur is an
important commercial commodity and
more of it has been produced, imported,
dressed and dyed, manufactured and
consumed in the United States than in
any other country.
The fur industry is an important part
Of the economic structure of our country
and should be maintained and developed
curing this greatest struggle of all times.
Yes, the fur trade must continue to func-
ton to furnish employment, to create

New Zealand. A further extension Of
war may cause the discontinuance of all
imports. Since at least half Of the fur
used by our fur industry has been i'm
ported" says J. H. Bleisten, former presi-
dent of the American Fur Merchants
Association, "the effect will be serious"
Stop just a moment to consider what
this means. 1t means that If all our fur
supplies from abroad are cut Oh, we will
be entirely dependent upon our own fur
resources. And those resources stand q
good chance of being wiped out within .
very short time.
Even In these distressing times the
Treasury OF the United States will re-
ceive huge sum of money from the
fur resources and the fur trade. Accord
ing to the estimates of the Treasury ex-
perts, receipts from the tax ON fur gar
ments during the fiscal year 1912 (nine
months) should be about $12,000,000 It

an attempt to bring civilian demands In

The primary object for increased produc-
