AIRPLANE PRODUCTION

According to a recent announcement from the War Production Board the United States last year turned out total of 96 369 airplanes of all classes for mi tary use This is considerably above the 1943 total of 85946 but below the quota set at the first of the year-a quota which called for l09,000 ships.
 Most significant single item in the report was the weight total of airplanes produced. This figure was 50 per cent weight totals of l943 and reflects even greater production gains than would be seen in a study of unit totals only It indicates, too, that possible alterations in the pattern of Allied strategy might have brought slight cut in 1944 unit produc- ton.
 The weight figures show that the United States is aiming toward longer bombing and fighter runs; the days of tremendous production of light trainer ships is over. In the in the Pacific where most our forces will be concentrated longran bomb ings will be necessary-nore necessary than in the earlier days of the European War when we had bases in nearby England Allied strategiss have discovered too that bombings can be much more efficient, and losses much lower, when long-range fighters can accompany each mission. The day is, coming when
 fighter range will be extended far beyond the present. day limits All this calls for greater and greater weight production the part of airplane manu- lecturers.

BRITISH TROOPS PROTECT GREEKS

For some reason the news was suppressed in the United States, but a very significant event took place in Salonika, Greece, during the trouble between the British and the EAM-ELAS Greeks.
 When the British ordered troops in Salonika to suppress the Greeks, the troops sided with the Greeks and refused to fire on them.
 The troops were a garrison Of the British Indian Army. The In- dians threw their weight on the side of the Greek organization which bitterly opposed the return of King George, and which Churchill claims to be Communist. There was no rioting or bloodshed. The Indian troops simply cooperated with the Greeks.
 Simultaneously, KriShna Menon, Secretary of the Indian League, made a speech m London attended by several members of the British Parliament in which he praised the Indian troops in Saloni6a and said: They go ill their landlords cars and vote against him"
 The incident is considered ex- tremely important not only as it effects Greece, but as it effects India and the Far East. Gen. Stil- well, when in the Burma Theatre, was reported by U. s. Ambassador William Phillips as considering British-Indian troops mercenaries who would not put their hearts into any battle as long as India was not given it's independence.

BRITISH AID IN PACIFIC

Ex-Representative Norris Poulson of California, Republican, returned from London recently and refused to be quoted in the press on what he had learned there about British aid to the United States against Japan.
 Finally, confronted with the de- tails of a conversation in which he had participated, Poulson admitted that he had discussed the Pacific war with two influential members of the British Parliament. :.
 Just what sort of help can we expect from you people once Ger many is knocked out?" Poulson asked them.
 Well, we've got an army of over 100000 Indians" one of the two Britons replied. You can have them"
 But you know perfectly well we cannot rely on them" Poulson said bluntly. You'll be lucky if they don't fight against you; let alone fight for you against Japan"
 The Britisher admitted he, too was worried about the Indians, but added, "at any rate, there's a large army of Australians and New Zealanders."
 Tn other words" countered Poulson, you people here on the island are going to pull out just as soon as you can, leaving to your Colonials the responsibility for any aid we get in the Pacific ,
