At the beginning Of 194l We were

of 1000 q month. Right now war
planes are being turned out at the
fate Of 2,700-2,9 900 q month and
within a year the rate will be 1000

1912 should at least total the 50, 900

Tool Firms TO Lift

40 10 50 Per Cent
All Previous Gouls
Are Discarded After
Wur's Outbreak
(By Cambridge Associates.) J

The machine tool and equipment
industry has been on an all-out
emergency" basis longer than
almost any other, yet now that the
Japanese War has broken out the
all-time high production of ma
chine tools for l94l, already nearly
rs per cent over the excellent 1910
showing, promises to move up again
in 1912. Under the pressure OF
war using industry-Wide, three
shift-a- day schedule and by working
Sundays and holidayS-the industry
expects to raise production in 1912
by as much as 10 to so per cent IN
the new year.
Industrial equipment and tools
for the automobile industry, nor
mally the largest single source OF
machine tool demand, will prob
ably be almost entirely eliminated
in 1912. as will shipments to other
similar non-defense industries.
Before the outbreak of hostilities
in the Pacific it appeared that the
tooling up of the aircraft industry
seemed we'll on it's way to COM
pletion, but all estimates Of what
it will take to win the war are now
raised overnight.
Bomber Goal Doubled.
Five hundred heavy bomberS a
month seemed very ambitious goal
only last spring, but now the an
nounced objective is thousand
month. The tank program, too, is
being expanded enormously.
Plans for erection of new manu-
featuring plants are today twice
the total of a year ago and all
these new plants will need highly
specialized machinery set up in
them before munitions start to roll
off the lines. For at least the next
year, then, the machinery industry
may expect to see the highest
activity in its history.
Although the profits on this war
business will be in 194l probably
the largest since the last war,
patriotism rather than profit must
be the chief motive in the industry
from now on.
Taxes are absorbing practically
all of the profit on volume above
the 1910 levels. Rising labor costs
cut down net as wage rates are
increased, overtime rates paid on
rush orders and decreased ef-
flciency per man-hour marks the
doubling and tripling Of the labor
force
Plant capacity has to be expanded
far beyond the economic require
ments of peacetime business. Divi-
dend payments in 194l were in many
notable instances actually lower
than In 1910 because of the strain
on working capital incident to the
large requirements for inventory
and sizable amounts tied up in
/ work-in in-proceSS.
/ Securities Remain Down.
The greatest volume of business
which the machinery industry has
ever enjoyed has counted for little
with investors. In the stock market

Increased Efficiency
Helps Carriers 10
Meet Big Rush

BY Cambridge Associates.
In many ways the railroads are
far better equipped to meet the
demands of war transportation than
they were Is years ago when they
had Is per cent more cars and %
per cent more locomotives than are
in operation at present. That has
been proved by the 194l record.
when the rails hauled one-third
more ton miles Of freight than they
did in 1915 and established q new
record for freight traffic by passing
the previous peak year Of 1929 by
per cent.
The railroads handled this record
volume of traffic with no more than
temporary local car shortages being
evident, and it is expected that the
carriers will be able to meet the
increased demands of 1912 without
serious difficulties.
During the depression years rail
managements spent good deal OF
money. time and effort into modern
izing equipment and increasing the
efficiency with which their rolling
stock was used. Trackage was
added. terminal facilities were ex-
banded. the size and working ca
! pacity of locomotives and cars were
boosted materially. In cooperation
with shippers. quicker loading and
unloading methods were worked out
to keep cars in use.
Carloadings were once fair guide
to the volume of freight trafflc
Since 1892, however, the figures COW
ering revenue ton-miles have con-
sistently pulled ahead Of carload
ings reported.
On the profit side the railroad:
did not fare anywhere near as well
as in the 1920s. Receipts per ton

likely that past earnings records vii

however, that once fixed charge!

Passenger traffic in l941 was abou
20 per cent higher than in the pre-
ceding year, although still under tn
best level of the 1920 period
Whereas in 1928 the revenue pc
passenger-mile for all roads was 28

Construction Volume
OF Ten Billions
Seen for 1912
Bv Cambridge Associates

BY Cambrldge Associates.
Construction in 1912 is going to be
almost solely determined by war
needs. Housing construction will be
very largely restricted to require
ments in production areas and to
those of Army and Navy personnel.
Even so total construction, including
highways, waterWorkS and other
heavy engineering projects. should
amount to nearly $4,000 10000, or
only billion to billion-and-a-half
less than the 1941 peak.

struction work in connection with

such work will draw Importantly
upon materials supplies.
Since many types of building ma
terials are not only needed for de-
fense work itself but also require
basic materials important in Other
phases of defense activity, any ap'
praisal of 1912 prospects for monde

Rotioning and Inventory
Control May Help
Civilian Consumers

BY Cambride Associates.
Steel wins wars. The rated ca
pacity of American steel plants Will
soon be nearly 100000 tons. In
1941 the steel industry produced
$4,000 900 tons of steel and in 1912 1t
will operate just as near to the new
capacity level as time-out for repairs
and supplies of scrap iron and pig
IRON will permit.
At the present time 1t is estimated
that approximately go per cent OF
steel output is going into products
and uses to further the prosecution
of the war. 1t may be in the coming
year that use of steel for civilian,
non essential purposes will be FUR
ther restricted. but there is one body
of informed opinion that holds that
drastic cuts in. non-defenSe supplies
NAV be avoided by ratiOnlng and
stricter control of inventories which
will avoid excessive reserve stocks by
assuring delivery of needed supplies
at the proper time.
There is little prospect of extend
Ing production facilities this year
very greatly. An additional 10000
OOO-ton addition to the nations steel
making equipment is underway and
there is talk of extension Of the
program. New plans will not boost
steel production this year, however.
Scrap Shortage Felt.
In the late months Of 1941 produc-
ton was slightly restricted not by
lack of steel making capacity but by
lack of scrap or pig iron. One OF the
first 1912 chores of the home front
is to locate and collect all the scrap
that can be turned into war uses
New pig iron facilities will soon be
coming into production, too, to re-
lieve the situation.
The United States can produce IN
one month as much steel as Japan
made in the year 1910. Taking the
production of the Rome-Berlin-
Toxic Axis, all the Axis satellites
and the countries under Axis domi-
nation including the steel produc-
ing area of southern Russia. which
now is of doubtful value to the AXIS
all the steel which the new worlc
order can command is less thar
74.O0O,OOO tons or 100000 tons les:
than American plants alone pro-
duced in l94l.
Without Russian production, but
counting the rest of Europe. AXi!
production is estimated at only CO..
100000 tons. The United States
Russia and the British Empire car
certainly turn out approximately
130,OOO,O00 tons of steel year, which
is almost certainly more than twice
what the Axis powers can produce
under the best conceivable circum'
stances.
Ruled by Government.
In the United States the steel in
dustry has virtually become 6
branch of the Government. Pro
duction, wages, labor conditions
prices and the distribution OF stee
are largely according to Government
decision. In the industry the condl
ton of being under Government or
ders is being accepted as a necesslt.
for the public safety and good.
While the condition exists, how
ever. the steel industry ceases to b
either prince or pauper so Tar a
profits are concerned. Its status !
not that of a relief recipient, bu
rather that of a skilled worker earn
ing good. steady wages. Stockhold
ers and the prices of steel compan
shares are adjusting to the ne'
position which modern war ma
placed them.

American aircraft has been the most
successful In this type Of plane.
AZ We enter the phase Of actual
shooting it is also good to realize
that American planes have had
their baptism Of fire on every front.
American-made planes are opera
ting over the German Soviet front
in Eastern Russia, in great quanti-
ties in Libya, in almost nightly raids
over the Ruhr and the invasion
ports, and they are now operated
by our own pilots in Hawaii, the
Philippines and Malaga. From the
use Of American planes by the F.. A.
F. in the defense Of Britain, how
ever, the greatest amount OF essen
tial information was transmitted to
American manufacturers to enable
them to build the quick-climbing,
highly maneuverable, well-armored
and heavily armed planes which
are the only type full effective in
modern warfare. Without this ex-
perience gained through the aid
to the anti-aggressor nations Ameri-
can military and naval forces would
not be nearly as well equipped as
they are today although. possibly
and possibly not, they might have
more planes.
Standardization Helps.
Great progress has been made In
speeding production by agreement
upon standard types Of bombing
planes. Pooling of orders for British
and American aircraft has been a
policy for some time and has made
possible cooperative production of
desired types by several American
companies.

to 80 5000, 900 square feet and con-

construction to $1,000, 900 square
