AMERICANS EYE
POSTWAR BUYS
Two-Thirds OF Nations
Family Want One Or
More Articles

Washington, Sept. 19.-RNNear-
" two thirds of all American fam
lilies now intend to buy one or more
major articles within six months
after the war, the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States
reported today.
The Department of Commerce
contributed to a forecast of post
war business with study con-
Guiding that peculiarly enough" "
the buying pace necessary to keep
business booming would not re-
quire people to spend the savings
they are accommodating from war
time earnings. ... .....es
The Chambers survey, bringing
up to date in August nationwide
sampling of conditions made last
December, indicated a rise from
SO to 81 per cent in the number OF
families planning major pur'
chases.
Savings are also on the rise, the
business organization reported.
with 81 per cent of the people in
terviewed now saying they are
able to save, compared with sc
per cent eight months ago. The
report asserted that 81 per cent,
an increase of percentage points,
actually are accommodating money
in some form of savings or in
vestment.
The Chamber reported rise
from 40 to S. per cent in the por
ton of the public that believes the
first year after the war will be
one of prosperity, with Sc per cen
now of the opinion that it will take
industry more than six months tt
catch up with consumer demand
The Department of Commerce
reported that if the war continue:
through 1914, savings will exceed
the total income of individuals il
the best pre-war year. 1t add
that such a pool of purchas Hs
powre twill constitute a force
which may be constructive,
favorable or destructive in it,
violence, depending upon the wis
dom with which it is handled"

SUCCESS OF SUB
BATTLE IS SHOWN
War Risk Insurance Rates
Are Sharply Reduced
For September

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-(R-To-
DAYS war risk insurance rates and
shipping certifications are not al
together cold statistics for they tell
story that is perhaps the best
proof of the successful war against
enemy submarines.
The insurance rates and certifi-
cations relate to commercial car
goes, not to strategic war materl-
ais. They show that "peacetime'
shipments have been resumed. In
stead of shippers begging for
space, space is now begging for
shippers.
The figures come from insurance
statisticians who follow no straWs
in the wind. Their calculations
are based on bald facts. There are
no rough estimates in their sched-
ules. Their rates have gone stea-
Oily downward; on Sept. Is there
was another sharp reduction.
The war shipping administra-
TONS insurance division and pri-
vate underwriters announced the
reductions, on cargoes in the over
seas trade, including shipments to
and from ports in the Mediterra-
mean and Indian ocean, as well as
on coastWise commerce.
For instance the rate on export
shipments to Indian ports east OF
Cape Comorin but not east of Cal
cutta, via Atlantic or Pacific, was
reduced from 10 per cent to $50
per cent; the rate from Atlantic
or Gulf ports to Palestine, Syria
and Turkish ports not beyond Mer.
sin and Cyprus was cut from II
to 8 per cent.
AS another example, the rate
from Atlantic and Gulf ports south
of Cape Hatteras to Canadian At
lantic and Newfoundland ports was
reduced from $50 to 2 per cent
This rate on Aug. IL was $50 per
cent.
The reduction in rates also ap.
plies to imports. To Atlantic or
Gulf ports from the Irish Free
State and northern ports, via the
west coast of England or Scottish
ports, Rate GAP was cut off from
$50 to per cent and rate "B''
from $40 to S per cent.
To Pacific ports from Vladivos'
tok, Russia, Rate ''B' was reduc-
ed from 1880 to Is per cent ano
Rate GAP remained unchanged al
Is per cent.

1.-TWO years after the defeat
of Italian armies in East Afri-
ca and five months after the
end of the North African cam
paign Fascism has completely
collapsed.
Here in Ethiopia there is
special satisfaction that the
whole fabric of Mussolim's re-
gime has crumbled.
'There could have never
been peace or justice in the
world so long as that regime of
force and brutality existed.
That is why the defeat of
Mussolini's government de-
mand also the overthrown Of
Hitler's regime and Japan's
tyranny.
"What has happened in Italy
is an assurance that the over
throw of the other enemies of
civilization is very near.

ALLIED FLEET

Castelrosso is the most south

'sNo Naval construction program
of comparable size and speed"
tn Navy says, has ever been
&C omr lshed by any other nation.
Abb to build this huge new
naval force-and to continue to
build at the present rate-is one
of the foundation stones Of our
military strategy.
'It underlies our amphibious at
tacks in the Pacific, the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean. 1t pro-
tects our long, exterior supply
routes running across thousands
of miles of ocean.
'Most important, it makes feas-
ible a strategy of attack, with all
the risks it implies. Ability to
builder, if necessary, to rebuild
on this scale is one OF the basic
advantages which the American
Navy holds over fleets of all other
nations"

sharp, the Navy reports, and ton
mage OF fighting ships produced in
the first six months of 1943 ex-
ceeds by 20 times the tonnage
completed in the first six months
of the defense program.
Emphasis throughout the three
year period in which So war;
ships were lost and 1923 trans
ferred to Allied nations or con-
verted to non-combat use-was
shifted from one type to another
as urgency dictated. For example,
Immediately after Pearl Harbor.
new battleships were held to be
of greatest urgency. Their pro-
duction was rushed and new capi-
tai ships played big part in the
decisive battles off Guadalcanal
November Is and 16, 1912.
AS the battleship progra m
moved into the clear and giant
battles were being fought between
aircraft carriers in the Coral Sea,
at Midway and in Southwest Pa
cific waters, the need was for
more aircraft carriers. They were
produced.
Meantime, a huge landing craft
program was pushed forward with
10000 tons produced in the first
six months of 1912; $4,000 tons
the next six months; $4,000 tons
in the first half of 1913.
Fire power of planes and ships
alike has been increased says the
Navy.
New Navy fighter planes fire
in one minute five times the
weight of projectiles that their
1910 predecessors fired. A modern
battleship's anti-aircraft firepower
is 100 times what it was three
years ago."
And, with all the new produc-
ton, there's more to come. The
Navy says that ships on the ways
in July, 1912, had a value Of ST.
800, 900, 900. On that same date this
year the value Of CONSTRUCTION in
place" was $4,000. 1000, 0o0..
''Despite its tremendous size,
the Naval shipbuilding program
still moves upward" concludes
the Nays production review.
