1t is the 25th edition Of this

upward curve in the industry.
1t shows. for instance, that
the first month after Pearl

production was under two bill
lions. Last July. it was S9,500.-
100000. For the first seven
months of 1943, il was already
higher than for the entire year
1912.
Output of aircraft is 1875 per
cent above the same period last
year; tank production is up 80
