Trade Wind" by Schneider

NEW YORk-A usually reliable
internationally informed business
source for war news hints the fol-
lowing as the plan of the allies to
thrash the axis powers.
In the far east vast army made
up of Indian and Chinese troops
will march across Burman Thalland
and Indo-China and thus cut off
the Japs' communication lines
while at the same time British,
Dutch, Australian and American
troops will come up from the south
to trap them. The combined navies
will control the waters. 1t is not
unlikely that Russia will attack
the Japs in Manchukuo and even
air raid industrial Japan.
Russia is to continue pressure
on Adolf Schickelgruber from the
north; American and British forces
will invade occupied France, Nor
way and Holland. British and Aus
tralian troops will work through
Africa to southern Italy where the
population is ready and willing to
throw off the yoke OF Nazi oppres-
sion; the undercover unrest of the
population in the Nazi-dominated
countries, too, will come out in
open rebellion.
VICTORY SOON - The above
beat the axis" plan is what Prime
Minister Winston Churchill has in
mind when he says the allies will
take the offensive in the not dist
ant future. He mentions victory
in 1943 with the decisive fighting
taking place in Germany proper.
But your correspondent is in
formed that the smashing allied
victory will come late in 1912.
How that can come about will be
revealed later.
COMBINED EFFORT - To free
factory facilities for war-goods
production, the OPM plans to move
all output of single civilian item
into a single unit. Here is how it
will work: Refrigerators will come
from one large plant, but each
victory" model will carry the
name-plate of manufactures. The
volume of plates allowed will run
in proportion to pre-war sales
total. This procedure will be fol-
lowed in all production of civilian
goods such as autos, electric irons,
washing machines, etc.
DOUBLE - The OPM order tn
ban except necessary sales of auto
mobiles. tires and tubes and the
sharp dip in production of home
revision in excise taxes. The
writers of the revenue act are al
ready talking of doubling the rates
on amusement admission. tobaccos.
gasoline and fuel oils, turs, Jewelry
and other items.
PROSPECTS-The OPM asked
tin can manufacturers to prevail
upon customers to reduce their
more than 100 different can sizes
to a standard number Of about 20
or 30. Moreover, to thin the gauge
of tin used in cans.
Packers of cigarets. coffee. fads.
candies, toilet items, etc. are now
testing plasties as substitutes. In
many instances plsstics are found
preferable. II does not spell out
favorable can making postwar
sales prospects.
oILS-Men high in the petro-
leum industry are not bullish on
1912 sales and earnings prospects.
