Chief reasons for the increase
are the outgrowth of the war. Be
cause Of high wages paid in war

have had TO increase wages to a
considerable extent and have had
to augment forces to meet emer-
gency requirements due to loea-

OF the increase is due to renova-

Agreement

(By international News Service)
Opening of second front in
Europe against the Axis in 1912
took first place in military calcu-
lations today followin. the White
House announcement that full
agreement on plans had been
reached between Great Britain,
Russia and the United States.
That such a front would eventual
ly be opened no one doubted, but
the definite pledge that an offensive
would be launched this year cheer
ed those advocates of early action
against the Axis.
Meanwhile the spectacular sue
cess of American Army bombers in
the rout of the Japanese invasion
armada off Midway Island speeded
up plans of L. S. military and naval
chieftains to organize widespread
offensives which would be spear
headed by airpower.
Informed circles were convinced
that any land offensive against Hit
Ter in Europe would come only af-
ter the Raj, with cooperation of
Americas rapidly growig airforce,
had carried on with the mass raids
on German industrial plants and
the growing network of defenses
which the Nazis have been build
ing ON the occupied coasts of
France and the low countries.
The raids so far on Cologne,
Essen, Bremen and other German
manufacturing and naval centers
are considered only taste Of what
is in store for the Nazis when the
American air force joins with the
Raj in bombing assaults to come.
