OIL AND THE PEACE

It is entirely probable that the question of single hill on the worlds horizons when the time comes for formulating and effectng international peace agreements Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes has stated the handling of the earths oil resources may determine the durability of the peace. Many other close observers of economic and political prob lens hold the opinion.
 In the war to date the burden of oil supply has fallen on the United States. Our contribution has been so great that reserves estimated to be sufficient to the country only for another quarter century After that must begin importa- ton on a tremendous scale, drain reserves to dangerous levels or discover substitute for petroleum. Since other nations will be in the same boat it is easy to see that another war may be in the making unless equitable distribution is the post war rule.
 There are five areas in the world in which oil is known to lie in vast quantities. These the United States, Soviet Russia the Caribbean district, the Middle East and the Far East American companies control 57 per of the globes petroleum Thus if future peace is dependent largely upon petroleum distribution, the preservation of peace will be largely dependent upon American policy and action
 It is not enough to say that since hold the majority of the oil supplies should as we will and let the rest of the world lump it. We can dc that of The trouble is that the of the world, instead of Jumping it. peaceably will lump it" militarilyand there' be World War III for our grandsons

At this meeting" he continued, T was abruptly informed that I had failed miserably and that, ef- fective the same date, my position was being filled by far more cap able man but, since I was one of the finest pilots in the country, they requested that I continue on with no cut in salary, which makes me the highest-paid pilot actively flying a B-24 in the Dallas division of North American Aviation
 However, Irons had to teach the man who succeeded him as chief test pilot how to fly a B-24. Sub sequently, Irons transferred to an- other airplane manufacturing plant in California.
 ARMY INSPECTION
 In making the affidavit, Irons stated. This statement is not made for the purpose of satisfying any grudge or dislike of this firm or of it's management. It is made because of my knowledge of the ccnditions surrounding the manu-

Such developments as those going on in the North west Territories of Canada-the Canol project may concevaby disclose reserves the magnitude of which to date is not known Scientific research may uncover petroleum substitutes which could take of the drain from the present supply But years will be re- quired to perfect such programs-and in the mean while the wells pumping at top speed
 Whatever the outcome may be, it is apparent now that oil will take increasingly important part in the shaping of futures. It is equally apparent that America controlling she does so large per- centage of the worlds petroleum reserves will have tremendous responsibility in maintaining the worlds peace which we now are striving to attain.

HOROSCOPE "The stnrs ,ncline
 but do not c0nlpeP
THURSDAY. MARCH 16

l AuIaAeN(Ai AO Positive benefic aspects rule to- day. Both the Armies and the Navies of the United Nations should benefit.
 HEART AND HOM E. This should be fortunate day for be- ginning any domestic work, espec- ially if there is need of radical re- adjustments. Parents must be pre- pared for the amazing spiritual and mental growth of their sons and daughters serving with the armed forces. It is imperative that home folks extend their interest in world affairs.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Bank clearings this month will indicate healthful trade conditions. Money will be spent freely during the Spring season despite the wisdom of saving. Optimism regarding the end of the war will cause flurries in the stock market
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Plans for postwar reforms will give rise to new organizations; many of these will afford advantages to fifth columnists. The stars encourage caution. Women should not let sympathy overrule logic.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: :: South Africas foreign relationships may present complex problems Under a strong Government, pros perity is indicated Subversive agencies will be active, especially among refugees from countries once loyal to Hitler.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unexpected experiences which will include journeys and changes in business or domestic relations.
 Children born on this day will probably be restless and avid for adventure. They should be clever, original and fairly successful.

it. We'll see if we can't rig this condition out of the airplane.'
 "Whereupon the control surfaces of this airplane were rigged to make it fly straight and level. This con- oition caused severe strain and stresses on the control mechanism, which, in my opinion, was Q serious flight hazard. I was instructed to sign it off as OK and to shut up about it.
 By the time airplane No. 20 came out of the factory, there were from four to seven hundred defects which required several thousand man hours to correct before the planes were airworthy. This con- dition has constantly grown worse until on January l, 1944, there are dozens of airplanes standing on the west ramp, so badly mutilated that it will be many weeks before these planes can be repaired and de- livered.

PUSH 'EM OUT REGARDLESS

The company's policy as foster ed by the management, has been push 'em out of the door and de- liver regardless of their condition. For several weeks. I would return to the assembly line a list of the most common defScts in an effort to correct this situation The man. agement always gave me the answer that they were building the planes and it was up to me to fly them.
 Not one single airplane has come from the final production line to. the flight test department with a satisfactory landing gear. Upon the request of MT w L. Landers, night General Superintendent, that I loan him one of my key men to serve on final assembly in the landing-gear department as fore man to supervise the installation of landing gears, assigned MT. Tex Williams, competent and ex- perienced landing gear man. MT. WllliamS tired to correct the sit uation and was laughed at by the company's production and inspec- tion department.
 'On many occasions, have loaned key men from my depart ment to the final assembly line in an effort to correct discrepancies which were continually occurring. only to have them report back to me that they were accomplishing nothing, as they could secure no cooperation"
 Irons stated that. finally, last December, he was called into a meeting of the factory manage ment.
