Briefly it shows that between July 1| of this year and December 31, 1942, the production of the United States will only equal the combined pro- duction of Canada and the United Kingdom. This is despite the fact that the United Kingdom all last year was subjected to a constant rain of bombs, and despite the fact that we have two and one-half times the population of Canada and the Unit- ed Kingdom, plus six times their resources. Y The report was prepared at the instigation of Seeretary of War Stimson who wanted to see just where the armed forces of the Unit- % ed States stood. 'The man who| drafted .the report is Bob Nathan, who does a lot of confidential work for Stimson. On this job he worked under Stacey May, crack economist of the OPM, who took a special trip to London where he studied British ! production figures and also German production results — as far as the British were able to supply them. STIMSON SHOCKED Friends of Secretary of War Stim- son says he was shocked at the find- ings of the report, which show lamentable lack of long-range plan- ning by the Army . Other high-ups in the Administration take a some- what more optimistic view, though all feel that the country has not yet taken its coat off. The study covered the eighteen months from this summer up to the beginning of 1943 and here are some of the highlights of important find- ings: By the end of 1942, the Unit- ed States, although playing the role of “The Arsenal of Democ- (Continued on Fags Foar) .TWO ELECTRAS EXPECTED HERE Two Pan American Electras at Whitehorse this afternoon awaited better flying conditions before ccming to Juneau, while two south- bound Lodestars here and a north- bound Lodestar at Prince George cancelled flight plans for the day| due to poor weather.
