was 9 per cent over February, the
previous high.
The plane production chief said
that, in line with recent strategic
emphasis, 865 per cent of the num-
Der of aircraft made in March were
tactical types representing bombers

nection he said that virtually al

He pointed out that the necessity
of constant engineering changes to

it difficult to meet future sched-

able losses to the draft of workers
in the under-26-age group"
Mr.. Wilson said that plane pro-
ductlon now was ahead of schedule
because the aircraft companies are
getting more and more familiar
with the planes they are making
and are taking full advantage of

Chinese Deny Violating
Monaghan Stote Border

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, April 4.-The Chi
nese government denied in an officia,
statement yesterday that Chinese
troops from Sinkiang had violated
the border of the Monaghan Peoples
Republic and that Chinese planes
shot up Kazakhs fleeing from
Sinkiang.
The statement said: 1.-THE contents
OF a lass dispatch of April 2 from

Chinese troops stationed in Sinkiang
had crossed into Outer Mongolia
(the Monaghan Peoples Republic)
and opened fire with machine guns

ule which had been fixed by the
Navy for the month.
LAS we see it today this may be
the peak month in number of
planes" Mr.. Wilson said.
He explained that the armed forces
plan to cut down trainer production
and place emphasis on heavy bomb
ers probably would mean that pro-
duction would level off near the
9,000-per-month mark. He added
that the production schedule for
April called for the manufacture of
no more than 5000 planes, though
there will be no drop in combat
types.
The Army is going forward with a
development of longer range fighter
planes to accompany the big super
bombers which soon will be in COM
bat, Mr.. Wilson said. He did not say
how much progress had been made
in the development of these long

But many Of our civilian common
tatorS take just this view; with some
Of them it is a case of Casino OF
nothing, and they do little in their
writing to suggest that in modern
war a city may be won, not on the
spot, but by diverSionary action
500 miles away.
Our huge military concentration
IN Britain ought to be enough tc
suggest to even the dimmest light
that we are mobilizing a grand plan
for attacks at many places, for our
own equivalent Of the Russian
strategy of pulling and tormenting
enemy forces ceaseleSsly to threat
ened points, SO that, in Western
Europe, as in the Ukraine, they may
be always running, always in mo-
ton, but never in control.
The Russians have rarely gone
all out, to do or die before one town
(they left it to the Germans to try
that, at Stalingrad; they have al
most always been amiably willing
to pause wherever the Germans, in
force, suggested that they pause, but
with the instant consequence that
they have pushed forward at two
other points for that one, hundreds
Of miles away, forcing the Germans
into agonies of improvised behind
the-line shifts, weakening the orig
inal German strong point until it
caved in.
The Russians have always insisted
on fighting the whole German
Army, as a totality; never have
they relaxed this high conceptual
grasp of their problem; never have
they been willing to be f1imflammed
into an about effort against one
section of the German Army at the
particular point where it happened
20 be strongest.
They Forget Total War.
There is little of this high vision
in our bitter civilian complaint of
Casino; we chatter forever, here
at home, about the total" nature
of the war, but are curiously willing
to drop our sights and accept the
theory that this war is a series of
local operations, little wars, each
standing severely alone, like sep
arate jousts in tournament.
And this narrowness of view ex-
tends to the diplomacy we are erect
ing on the base of the war, so that
our State Department, for instance,
finds there can be no increase of
democracy in Italy until we take
Rome.
Why Rome? What special mean
ing can Rome have or any other
single black speck on the map dur
ing total war? Why must it be
that particular city, as if we were
the Doges of Venice or the Medicis
of Florence, fighting in medieval
war, or in bitter, localized Renais-
sance struggle? Under the same
reasoning, the Russians might have
refused to recognize the Partisan
movement in Yugoslavia until Bel
grade had been liberated.
But it was to help liberate Bel
grade that the Partisans were recog-
nized and assisted.
