PROFITEERING IN REVERSE

There has been much talk about the swollen profits allegedly made by the airplane manufacturers at work on war orders. There are, of course, some var iations in the experience of different companies, but the annual report of Douglas Aircraft which was published recently briefly reflects conditions in an industry which certainly has made a major contribution to the war.
 This report shows that the net profit of the Douglas Company on gross busi- ness of nearly $1,000, 100000, amounted to $5,952,25O for the fiscal year which ended November 30, or $992 share, compared with $15.38 share on approx imately half the gross volume in the previous year. In other words, the pro- fit of this huge volume amounted to less than 1 cent on every dollars worth Of business.
 The report further shows that while government increased 103 per cent in 1943 over 1942, and reached 160,000 per sons, unit costs to the Government of the airframe produced were reduced an average of 22 per cent on six models in production. Other features of the re- port disclose that the company has train ed and employed 12,000 physically han dicapped workers and 16,000 men and women formerly in military service. Finally. the company produced, in the year under review, 112,000,000 pounds of combat airplanes and spare parts, of which the Axis is now feeling the weight (New York TimeS)

NOBODY'S ROAD

That Alaska HighWay-fornerly AL Ican-quietly planned and rushed to completion at great cost by the United States Army, is in early way of deter ioration for lack of maintenance-It ex- tends nearly all it's distance through British Columbia; and our army author ities seem to have expected the province to furnish workers for the upkeep.
 Official thought across the line runs contrariwise Canadas selective service chiefs firmly say that British Columbia's own manpower needs are so urgent that no men can be spared for an American project.
 From the Canadian viewpoint, no doubt, this decision is reasonable; and not many Americans are in position to say it isn't Americans wanted the road, located it's route, and built it. It might have been better in the first place to find out how and by whom the road was to be kept useful; but that is not always the American way of doing things
 The Alaska Highway is in Canada; of benefit mainly to Canadians. It remains an American project, and American; have the choice of keeping it up or quit ting-(Seattle Times, June 11th).

 Realizing that if the barge reached open water, the srtong wind blowing at that time would probably blow it onto rocky shore and cause destruction of the barge and equipment, Private Hinde, without orders and with out regard for his own personal safety, took a rowboat and start ed after the barge.
 "The water was rough and

 Practical Basis
 "Tho best and most practical basis upon which to establish such Q situation is to make sure that there 10 complete freedom Go gather the news everywhere and freedom to compete in distributing that news to oil who want it.
 "ThAt is the policy upon which the United Press of America was founded in the year 1907, and it ie the policy to which it has adhered ever since.

This freedom be- longs to the people.
 'The four principal points which I should like to mention are these;
 "T'here should Do no question whatever that news sources, parti- cularly ofilcial news sources, are cofnpetltively open to all in all countries, Then, in turn, In order that tho news may Do sent all over the world, facilities of transmission should be available for the use of all legitimate news agencies and news. papers on the basis of absolute equality. Both as to cost and as to speed.
 Minimum Regulation
 "The next point Is that there should be minimum official reeulA. ton of the blow Of news itself. AS soon as security requirements of war arc over with, the censorShip- all the censorships-shouid be dis. continued altogether. And of course in order to bring the news to the people ali newspapers throughout the world should have access to oil possible sources of news. And the same should apply to radio stations
 And by news, let me emphasize that I do not mean government pFopaganda or news biased and diSs torted by political or nationalistlc interest, I mean truth.
 1T am happy to be able to say that since have been in London c little more than . week, l have received assurances from the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, from the press minister of Belgium and from the Foreign Minister Of Nors way, that they are in hearty agree. m6nt with these principles and that they intend to see them reestablish' cd in their own countries.
