Dairen and today were report

these dispatches were "prema'

The offensive, which began more

remnants of the Soviet garrison
repeatedly withdrew to Russian

SURPLUS ENGINES CLIP U. S. AIRPLANE INDUSTRY'S WINGS

same than was there 28 years ago surpluses of produced planes and motors.
 In the field of military aviation, this is probably far more serious problem than it was then. Military aviation at the end of the war was undergoing a change as drastic as from the hand grenade to the atomic bomb.
 Chairman Ebert Thomas O. Utah), of the Senate Military Af- fairs committee, in recent signed article in "The American Maga- zine" said "the Germans air wea- 3ons were ahead of ours at the start of the war and far ahead at its end. We won the air war with muscie-not mind. We Smothered them with the sheer weight of our planes"
 Senator Thomas is pleading for civilian control of airplane devel- opment, or rather air defense, in cludjng all weapons that are flown through the skies. There is no need to get into that argument to cite chapter and verse on what is happening to our military plane production and development.
 It's practically nil. Unless pres ent schedules are changed Great Britain will produce twice as many military planes as we in 1946; Australia, with about one tenth our population, will produce half as many; and Russia goodness knows what, but Stalin has prom lSed that it won't be just a few.
 E. E. Wilson, chairman of the Aircraft Industries Association of America, declared the other day: "Che planes produced during the war are now obsolete and national security now rests on the new types developed in recent months"
 Contrast that statement with this fact: Of the 23 airplane en- zines turned out in January, two were experimental-and none was of the jet or gas turbine propul- sion type.
 There isn't very much on the record yet to indicate a way out of this situation. Laboratory ex- perimentation in the United States is not at standstill. The production of experimental planes and motors is. But even more inn portantly for the progress of avi- ation, the wartime surplus buga- boo is here again. Only two com panies that produced war planes in World War l survived the 'Twenties and 'Thirties to produce planes for World War II.
 Thanks to the Contract Termi- nation Act of 1914 and the team work planning and administration of military and civilians involved, the aviation industry is far better off comparatively than it was af- ter World War I.
 The air coordinating committee, with representatives from the Army, Navy, and Commerce de- partments, and the Civil Aeronau- tics Administration, has laid out a production program of 5000 mili- tary planes a year under condi- tions of absolute world peace tabout twice that many under ex-

sented by Prof. Frank w. Notestein
of Princeton, were based on the
assumption that the country does
not fight a major war and does
not suffer a major epidemic in the
next Is years, and on the approx
mate correctness of the Russian
census of 1926 They also assume
that the Russian birth rate during
the next Is years will fall much
more rapidly than that for any other
part of Europe.
1926 Birth Rate High.
In 1926, Prof. Notestein explained,
Russia had an almost primitive
population greatly overcrowded in
agricultural areas, with the high
birth rate of five or six children
per woman of child-bearing age.
Even with the heavy death rate, this
would have meant an increase in
population Of about IS per cent in
80 years.
About four families were required
to produce from the soil, with very
inefficient methods of agriculture,
enough food and clothing for five
families. There was scarcely any
body left for industry. 1t was an
agricultural system in which large
families were in economic asset.
This probably was the basic reason
for the collectivization of farms
under the Soviet regime which, per-
haps at cost OF about 100000

leased half the population for in
dustry and brought about the estab-
lishment of big industrial cities.
Reducing Death Rate.
Here children no longer are an
economic asset and, assuming Rus
sia follows the rule found every
where else In the world, the birth
rate is bound to 60 down quite
rapidly. At the same time, Russia
is benefiting by her share of those
advances in medicine and sanitation
which are reducing the death rate
in America and Western Europe.
DR.. Dudley Kirk of the Princeton
faculty pointed out that at the time
OF Christ the population of all Eu-
rope was about 100000. 1t is now
about TOO 100000, including Euro
pean Russia, having increased from
about 100,000,000 in 300 years. Had
this rate gone on steadily since the
start of the Christian era, he point
ed out, the population of the con-
tinent now would be about 30,000,-
600 ,000, ,00O-or two persons for every
square yard of soil
Russia's heavy war losses, it was
explained, hardly constituted a set
back from the viewpoint of popula-
ticn growth, since it has been about
balanced by new territories included
in the Soviet Union. In the last
two wars and the Soviet revolution,
it was pointed out, total Russian
losses might we'll have exceeded
$4,000, 900, although there are no
accurate figures available. But this
only made some dents in the popu-
lation curve without materially
affecting its general shape.
