WPB Announces War
Output Rises Three
Per Cent Last Month

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. -(R-
The War Production Board, strik-
ing its chereiest note in three
months, announced today that out
put of war materials increased 3
per cent in July.
WPB Chairman Donald M. Mel
son was described as pleased.
This contrasted with gloomier
official mood prevalent in May and
June, when output fell far below
schedules.
Today's announcement did not
specifically say how close July
output came to the scheduled fig
ures. However, it asserted that in
many programs "production prob
lens have been largely licked and
peak production rates have been
achieved or are not far off,
1t added:
eff our production goals are to
be achieved, production set-ups
must continue during the next six
months.
Airplane production was up 4 per
cent and signal equipment II per
cent. Army ammunition output
held to its June level.
During the month 1873 planes
were produced" WPB said. "The
four per cent increase in July over
the June level included 10 per
cent increase for fighters and
an 8 per cent increase for trans
ports. Heavy bombers showed a
gain of 13 per cent"

The joint statement at Quebec,
if we read it carefully, makes
clear the real shape of things
among the four great powers OF
our alliance.
Britain and America are at war
in Europe and in Asia. Russia is
at war only in Europe. China is
at war only in Asia. Therefore,
military discussion" in regard to
''the war against Japan required
the participation of MIR. 7. V.
Soong, particularly because an
important part of that war must
be mounted on Chinese soil. But
Stain could not have participated
in these discussions. 1t would OBJ
viously have been desirable if he
Ihad participated in the discussions
about the European war. But it
was not essential. For the Rus
sian forces and our own fight in
separate theaters under separate
commands.
Moreover, Britain and America
are fighting all over the world,
from the Aleutians to the Medi-
terranean, with combined forces
under common command. T h
makes the British-American con-
nection more than an ordinary al
lance. It is an intricate partner
ship. and this means that British
and American authorities must be
in continual consultation.

FARMERS URGED
TO BUY BONDS
Treasury Official Says
Country Banks Burst

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Up -
Asserting that country banks are
literally bursting with idle mon
ey," a Treasury official said tc-
day farmers were expected to plav
a big part in the $4,000, 900, ,00o
third war loan which opens Sep
tember 9.
Lloyd E. Partain. in charge Of
the campaigns agricultural divi-
sion for the Treasury. said a sur
vey indicated that at least 60 Der
cent of the nations 100000 farm
homes will yield bond orders or
definite schedules for purchases
Farmers have the money and
they are convinced Of the wisdom
of investing their surplus in gov
ernment securities" Partain de-
clared, adding that 1.-The task OF
the county war loan committee
chairmen should be easy" TIE
1943 war bond quota for farmers
is 81, 800, 900, 900.
Saying that agricultural income
has increased and indebtedness
has decreased "amazingly" since
1910, Partain cited these figures
from the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics:
Farmers cash income if up
from an estimated SO. 900. 600
in 1910 to more than $19, 1000, 900, 900
this year. while farm MORTGAGES
have declined from high of s13.'
600, 900, 900 in 1923 to $1,000, 90, 900
to between $500, 900, 900 and &c.
900, 600, 900 this year.
Discussing the emphasis being
placed on conversion of farm bank
balances into war bonds, Partain
said bond purchase "is not mere
ly a patriotic gesture, it is also
pretty shrewd way Of providing
for a future which cannot be as
prosperous as the present"
In Indiana, for instance, he said,
farmers are planning to put away
in war bonds an amount calcu-
lated to offset the loss in soil fer
tility.
Farmers in other localities also
are settling down to one of several
recommended schedules of bond
buying, Partain added. In Texas.
