SOVIET BATrLEsHIPs AND CUBS

The Russians, according to James
Fighting Ships, authoritative naval an
nuaI, may be building three 35,0O0-ton
battleships, equipped to fire radiO-con-
trolled aerial torpedoes.
The Russians, apparently, haven't
heard of the demise of the batleship or
the futility of attempting to use them in
war; Perhaps, they do not know that one
or two aerial bombs, dropped from the
skies, will end the battle-wagons.
lin addition, according to the same
source, the Russians have an extensive
submarine program underway, aimed at
1000 submarines but James doubts the
technical capacity to build such an un-
derwater fleet although its information
indicates the Soviet navy expects to have
ESQ subs in service at the end of 1851.
There is no way for us to check this
information but from it's source, there
must be something to it. The battleships
may serve as offensive weapons if the
aerial tOrpedoes can be successfully ham
died. More dangerous, however, would
be large fleet of modern submarines.
Past wars have shown us the difficulty
of meeting the U-boat threat without
waiting for sufficient time to build the
necessary defensive weapons, including
destroyers.

BUSINESS TROUBLES

The U. s. Department of Commerce
reports that the National slump" has in
creased this year. Business failures have
been too high in "small business"
There has been an increase in the
number of new business ventures-iust be-
cause our people haven't been sure which
way to turn.
During the past two years the num-
Der of men and women engaging in bust
ness in which they have had no previous
experience has been exceptionally large
Their venturing has sharpened competition
by established businesses, and from one
another. Well, $4,000 new business in
stitutions are reported by the government
department.
