VITAL TO COUNTRY
Confusion Must Clear
Away Before Industry
Steps Up Production
BY LOUIS GUENTHER,
Publisher
Financial World

If we accept Mr.. Baruch's state
ment that we face five years OF
prosperity despite any mistakes
We make, 1916, following the pat
tern of 1915, should prove fruitful
of further gains. His prediction no
doubt is based on our bountiful
backlog of unsatisfied demands.
Because of it's large cash savings
and high earning power, the pub
lie has never been better off In
purchasing power. To this favor
able factor must be added the
the widespread necessity for re-
placement of goods that were IN
obtainable through the duration. OF
the war, housing and home re-
pairs, refrigerators, automobiles,
radios, household furnishings and
numerous other articles. To fill
this large vacuum it will take at
least five years. This is a picture
for the immediate future.
Confusion
However, before We can get fully
into this stride we must clear
away the confusion with which the
nation is plagued. Our labor dis
sension must be removed to as
sure full production, our foreign
problems solved intelligently and,
capital to enter upon industrial ex-
changes made to enable venture
last but not least, further tax
pansion with the hope of profits
that are commensurate with the
of confusion are eliminated, 1916
can hardly escape their deterrent
effects.
This is the fly in the ointment
but it is one we can get rid OF If

NAL AIR TRAFFIC
CLIMBS STEADILY
l945 Revenue Passenger
Miles 20 Per Cent High
er Than 1914 Totals

National Airlines flew total of
70,210, 637 revenue passenger miles
in 1915, a 74.06 per cent increase
over comparable mileage flown by
the company in 1914, according to
a report issued by H. c. Dobbs,
vice president in charge of traffic.
In 1914, 40, 337 ,997 revenue pas
senger miles were flown.
There was also marked IN
crease in revenue miles flown in
the airl;nes system in 1915, when
1884, $50 miles were flown compar-
ed to 1914 totals of 1868, 1894 miles
"a percentage increase of 73.45.
NAILS 1915 load factor was 1910
per cent.
Fleet Supplemented
National added additional Lock
heed Lodestars to its fleet during
1945 and one DC-4 with as pas
senger capacity was added for
training purposes. Delivery of an
other 46-passenger DC-4 has now
been promised for around Feb
ruary TO-" according to Dobbs.
Four more DC-4's are expected to
join the NAL fleet in March. Ma
tional will have a minimum of %
planes and total of 1856 seats by
January, 1947.
New Services
1naugurations during 1915 were
service into Philadelphia, Norfolk,
Wilmington, Charleston, S. c., and
service into St. Petersburg, Fla,
was resumed. Additional flights
giving added service between Mi
ami and New York city and New
Orleans and New York city, and
nonstop service directly down the
coast between Jacksonville and
Miami were added.

Date OF Inauguration De.
ponds Upon Airport
Facilities, Air Freight
Rates

New vistas of trade will be
opened to Wilmington and South
eastern North Carolina merchants
when Air Cargo Transport corpor.
alton planes begin plying routes
between Wilmington and other
cities all over the United States.
according to M. M. de Brou, ACT
traffic manager.
All types of merchandise, includ-
Ing perishable foodstuffs, can be
carried in the ACT planes, de Brou
said. The traffic manager was in
Wilmington recently for a confer
ence with Harriss Newman, prom
laent attorney who is representing
local Interests in the ACT project.
Definite date of the Inauguration
OF the air cargo service hinges
upon establishment of air freight
rates and completion of negotia-
tons with New Hanover county
commissioners for the use of Blue
thenthal airport facilities by ACT
planes.
De Brou forecase that Whining
ton merchants will use the air
transportation when regular routes
are established between the city
and other, larger cities such as
New York, Miami and Chicago.
1--WE will be able to offer at
tractlve rates to merchants who
want merchandise shipped here
from New York." de Brou said.
because the plane will be com
ing to Wilmington, anyway. The
rate will be far below the 80 cents
per tonnage mile now charged for
foodstuffs."
Costs of Service
AS an example of the compar-
alive inexpensiveness of rates for
trans continental air transporta-
ton, de Brou said ACT now
charges $3.50 per 100 pounds for
goods shipped by air from New
York to California. Goods are car
ried from New York city to
Miami, Fla, for II and one-ha1f
cents per pound, he said.
Turn-About Service
1--WE hope to establish a solicit
tation and traffic office in Will
mington later on de Brou said.
1T is possible We will also pro-
vide for ''turn- around" mainte-
nance of our transport planes
here"

ODD, HANCAR-TYPE
PLANT BUILT HERE
Smith-D Douglas Constructs
Fertilizer Plant Out OF
Airplane Hangar

Wilmington will have one of the
worlds most unique fertilizer mix
ing and storage plants when 500
foot-long, arch-type, all-steel build
ing is completed at Navassa by
the SmithDouglas Fertilizer COM
pany, according to c. E. Gettinger,
Norfolk, Va, vice-president of the
firm.
The plant will occupy a large
acreage adjoining the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company. 1t
will represent an outlay of approx
imately $250,000 and will be COM
pleted in time, Gettinger said to
begin production of fertilizer for
the 1947 crop season.
Unique In Kind
Unique in its kind, the plant will
be constructed of three metal han
gars originally designed to Army
Air Corps specifications and meant
for use in the Pacific. Surplus ma
terial Snith-Douglas purchased the
hangers from the Reconstruction
Finance corporation. The units,
with an interior ceiling of IS feet,
will be fabricated into a single in
line structure.
1--WE believe this type of build
ing, revolutionary in the fertilizer
industry, will be Of excellent de-
sign for our purposes" Gettinger
said today.
Lewis Contractor
Construction work will begin
Gettinger disclosed, when H. T.
Lewis, Smith Douglas building
engineer, completes work on the
company's new Streator, Ill, plant.
Lewis will supervise construction
here.
Gettinger said the plant would
have a storage capacity Of approx
imately $4,000 tons. 1t will be serv-
ed for transportation by both the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad and
Seaboard railway. A track off the
Cape Fear Packing company spur
is under construction at the pres
ent time.
IA Plants Here
Entry of Smith, Douglas into Will
mington will bring to IA the num-
Der of commercial fertilizer plants
in this area.

food magazine, de Brou said. The
company had frozen frog legs pick
ed up by an ACT plane in Havana,
Cuba, brought to Miami and then
carried to New York. 1.-THE frog
legs were as hard and as fresh
when they arrived in New York
as they were when they left Ha-
vana," he said.
Unique Methods
The frog legs, however, did not
interest the magazine as much as
did the method of preservation In
the plane that carried them, ACT
put a block of dry ice in front of
the fan operating the planes air
system. The plane itself was also
preceded by means of dry ice,
de Brou said.
At the present time, the seven
CAT planes-known to civilians as
Douglas Sky Trains-operating on
routes serviced by ACT are haul
ing, among other things, Holsters
from Maine to New York, de Brou
said. eve hauled Holsters from
Maine to California and proved
that the Holsters could be hauled
for that distance without spelling.
But OPA ceilings froze us out.
OPA ceilings on Holsters in New
York were 95 cents per pound for
Holsters, and in California the OPA
ceiling was go cents. So we
couldn't afford it,
Success of the idea Of air cargo
service depends upon trips to 10
calities which not only will buy in
coming goods but will furnish
goods for return trips, de Brou
thinks.
Local groups interested in estab-
lishment of the air service are the
Carolina Burberry association,
.Burgaw, and the Blower and Bulb
Growers association, represented
by John Nuckton, J. Swart and Mr..
Boet.
I'VE feel this is one Of the big
gest things to happen to Whining
ton in years. Newman said. "If
the public supports it, it can mean
a great deal to the city"
ACT was organized lin March,
1915, with one Lockheed Lodestar,
de Brou said. In October, 1915,
seven CATS were secured and at
the present time the corporation
has in an order with Douglas Air
craft company for three additional
planes. Main offices of the ACT is
in Newark, N. J. there are branch
offices in Miami and Chicago, he
said.

SAT AFTER CABS
| 0KAY FOR AIRLINE
Would Operate Feeder
Air Service From VIII
mington To Knoxville

A favorable ruling On an appli-
cation of Seaboard Air Transport
for permission to extend feeder"
airline service from Norfolk, Va,
to Columbia, S. c., and from Will
mington to Knoxville, Tenn, would
furnish another air outlet for trade
between Southeastern North Caro-
lima and other trade centers.
The CAB has promised ruling
on the application by the spring
of this year.
The Routes
SAT's application for the Nor
folk line states that the service
would be extended to Greenville,
Goldsboro, Fayetteville, Lumber
ton, Wilmington, and Florence and
Columbia, S. c. The Knoxville
route would include Rockingham,
Hamlet, Charlotte, and Asheville.
Both routes would connect with
six major airlines.
SAT Officials
Horance M. Barnes, Lumberton,
president and operational manager
of SAT, and R. B. Page, Whining
ton, a director, conferred with
their attorney, Wesley Mcdonald,
and. government officials in Wash
ington, D. c. in December, 1914,
about the application.
Barnes, prior to his discharge in
November, 1914, was a Lieutenant
commander in the Navy, in charge
of the Naval Air Transport service
