LONDON, July 14,-Britain "is
making the right tanks now and
will make the right tanks In the
future" Oliver Lyttelton, min
lister of production, told Parlia-
ment today in reply to COM
plants that British equipment in
Africa was inferior to the Ger
mans
In field artillery, also, there is
no reason TO be frightened of our
equipment compared with the Ger
mans" Mr.. Lyttelton said. He as
serted that Britain is maintaining
her lead in the air, particularly in
quality"
Col. John J. Llewellyn, minister
for aircraft production, said the
newest British plane now coming
out of production is better at nearly
every height and as good at any
height as the two new German
planes.
New Types Of Torpedo Craft.
He disclosed that new types OF
torpedo-carrying aircraft for the
feet air arm are coming out" and
that other machines are being
equipped to carry torpedoes
I'VE shall have to produce In
this country, at any rate as far
as aircraft is concerned. . great
majority Of our needs" Col Level
lyn said during Commons debate on
production.
Americas effort will come In to
supplement our own, but let no
one think our efforts can In any
way be relaxed because we have
these large figures just talked about,
in American production"

duction staff recently had given
higher ALLEGATION of raw materials

naval program" just as in 1910 the
emphasis was put on aircraft and
in 1941 on tanks.
Britain is not considering the
manufacture Of synthetic rubber at
present, the production chief said.
| because there is no saving in ship
ping unless synthetic rubber is de-
rived ultimately from coal. ."
Our policy Is to concentrate on
production of synthetic rubber In
the United States" he said
Agreement On Uniforms.
Mr.. Lyttelton said an agreement
had been reached whereby the
United States would manufacture
uniforms for the British troops in
the Near East while the British

T sent the check" The story teller sighed.
 We were thinking about our enemies, the Japs, all the time our friend the officer was tell ing his ahecdote.
 We were thinking about the diligent monkey-men on Attu, Kiska and Agattu.
 We were remembering the early efforts of our navy depart ment to minimize the importance of this invasion of American soil.
 We were recalling that these small scale landings (navy de- pertinent communique of June 12) already have resulted in the construction of airfelds. from one of which shore based Naka- ima97 fighters rose 10 meet Am erican aircraft (dlspatch of Keth Wheeler, Chicago Times correspondent with the Pacific fleet, passed by navy censor ship).
 We were thinking, most part icularly, about the flippant wise crack of a navy department spokesman, June 10 concerning reports of Jap aggression in the Aleutians.
 None of our inhabited islands are troubled with uninvited vis- itors up until this time
 The murdered millions of China, the butchered men and raped women of Hongkong the Englishmen kicked into the filth of Singapore's gutters. the hope less heroes of Bataan and Cor regidor all testify you can't af- ford to be flippant with the persistent little half-men of Nip pon.
