SALVAGE NEEDED

On the contrary. the postwar
promise of American life can be
brought, indeed, despite the dis
PARTIES and exhaustion resulting
from war and inflationary fiscal
procedures, provided we salvage
the American political and eco-
nomic system. If the system,
which encourages the creative
spirit, survives, then we can go to
work and restore the depleted as
sets. II we build on the basis of
demonstrated American expert
ence, which has resulted in the
most prodigious productivity that
the world has ever seen, we can
again 60 upward and onward.
Thus. the motive for cutting
away the false hopes resting on
initiation, prosperity through ex-
cessive taxation and monetary
manipulation is to clear the paths
for solid achievement, after the
war, through tested and proven
methods of joining men with
mechanical energy and superior
tools and thus producing an ever
rising standard Of living for aver
age families. subject to short
term fluctuations.

OIl lIlls HCW type VI tdPib lilui-
vidual transportation. Stock sales
men, some in the spirit of blue
sky, spoke with enthusiasm con-
cerning the prospects of all
comers. Most companies were
destined in competition to wither
and fade away. A relatively few
had survival qualities.
GM GOOD BUY
II, for example, in the early
days of the industry. an analyst
had sufficient foresight to per-
ceive what was coming, and ad-
vised against investing in the
shares of most of the promotional
companies while selecting General
Motors and its component COM
panies, which were destined to
become the worlds largest COM
pany. il would have been wrong
10 have characterized him as
pessimist.
For, as matter of fact, early
investment in predecessor shares
of GM resulted in prodigious ap-
preciatioD-of type that never
will be repeated under anything
like the current tax structure.
Thus, the hypothetical analyst
was a pessimist concerning the
shares Of weak companies and an
optimist concerning the stock OF
a strong enterprise. Really he was
neither optimist nor pessimist,
but realist seeking effectively TO
appraise conditions and prospects.
ATTACK SUPERFICIAL
Let's carry this analogy to con-,
temporary p elitic at economic
planning. It's superficial TO at
tack the New Dealers or the pro-
ponents of the Murray full en-
ployment bill. who are merely
echoing the theories Of other mas
ter minds. The concept of full
employment is that of Sir VIII
liam Beveridge and il has been
fully set forth in his new books.
Supporting the concept are the
monetary theories of Lord John
Maynard Keynes. who was a
dominating personality at the
United Nations monetary and
financial conference at Breton
Woods. N. II.
If one questions the validity of
these theories and doubts whether
we can in face of wartime malad-
justments and dislocations build
solid utopia on such flimsy foun-
dations, he does not necessarily
throw up the sponge and become
an apostle of hopeleSsness.

until the Spring Of 1910. Then,
having swept over Continental
Europe, the Nazis prepared for
a summer and fall "blitz
against England. When that
stalled, (even though at one
time the British had only five
fighters In reserve) Hitler be-
gan his air offensive over the
Atlantic, an effort which reach
ed a peak in the Spring Of 194l.
BY the late summer of that
year, the Germans, busy in Rus
STA, Greece and the Mediterran-
can and harrassed by the British
counter-air offensive, assumed
a defensive attitude. The Nazis
concentrated their long range
air effort in Norway for use
against shipping to Russia in
the spring of 1912, lessened their
efforts against channel shipping
and resumed attacks on British
cities. The close of 1912 saw
the German airforce with new
problems. The Allies had land
ed in North Africa, and the final
counter-attack of the British in
Egypt was under way.

bers.
The Army graduated only
696 pilots, 60l navigators and
$40 bombardiers In 194l. In
1913 it graduated $1,000 pilots,
1873 navigators, 1898 bonn
bardiers. 8l,398 aerial gunners
and 513,333 technicians. BY
early 1914 it was able to level
off its training program and to
straighten the upward curve Of
aircraft production, which had
reached $4,000 planes in 1913.
Naval Aviation underwent q
similar expansion, along with
Marine Corps flying. Except for
their part in the war on the Nazi
submarine, however, neither
figured substantially In the
European air war. The Navy
put its escort carrier or Baby
Nattop" program into action
against considerable criticism
but was able to show by late
1913 that the torpedo bombers
and fighters which flew from
the little decks had earned by
far the greatest share Of the
credit for reducing the U-Boat
danger in the Atlantic.
Germany entered the war
with somewhere between $500
and $500 first line warplanes
and reserve estimated at so
per cent. The total of her mill
tary planes, many of them train
ers, was estimated at the time
by various European sources at
5000 to $4,000, with most es-
Inmates near $4,000. Nazi plane
production then was placed at
close to 1000 month, with a
potential capacity of possibly
5000.
Russian air strength was
placed in the vicinity of Ger
many's, with considerably
smaller productive capacity.
Like Germany, Russia had
largely a tactical airforce.
Britain was reported to have
1000 to $500 planes in combat
operating squadrons in 1899,
with about two-thirds as many
in reserve. Her monthly pro-
duction was estimated at less
than 700 and her additional
capacity at no more than $500.
The French airforce was es-
timated at about 1000, with so
per cent reserve and a monthly
production of 100 to 200 planes.
AS a practical matter, 1t was of
little Importance what France,
Poland, The Netherlands, Nor
way and Greece had in the way
of air power. None of them had
a chance.
There was little air activity
