The German planes so far used have been rela- tively small—-Mr. Kaiser envisages air freighters of 1200 to 500 tons. The German planes, due to the Reich’s geographical position, have not had to have jany great range—Mr. Kaiser envisages freighters which can cross the seas and still have capacity for tremendous amounts of cargo. The German planes, it is believed, were and are being produced slowly and in relatively small numbers—Mr. Kaiser talks of building planes of vast size under a mass-produc- tion ‘system which will turn them out as quickly as Detroit assembly lines used to turn out motor cars. No one can deny that the cargo plane idea, if it is workable, will prove at least a partial solution to the most difficult problem the United Nations face. So far as production for war is concerned, this country has generally realized the “arsenal of dem- ocracy” goal laid down by the president.

Some patriotic blonds are turning their money over to the Red Cross or other national defense agences, ting that production to the far-flung battlefronts of this global war is a very different matter. The hard truth is that the Axis is sinking more ships than the United Nations can replace—and it is sinking with them an enormous amount of vital sup- plies. The Navy has not been able to solve the problem. And some authorities are convinced that it is basically insoluble—that terrible losses will con- tinue and perhaps 'mount, unless and until the freighters leave the water and take to the skies. Even the biggest cargo planes so far built cannot carry a great deal in one trip. But, over a period of time, their speed will make up for that lack. It is said, for instance, that 40 flying boats of the 70- ton size are equal to a 10,800-ton Liberty Ship in carrying capacity. An ordinary freighter can make only three round trips to and from Australia in the course of a year—and a cargo plane can make 26. A cargo plane might make 70 or more round mps carrying freight and troops to England. So far as the practicality of the planes themselves is concerned, there seems to be little question. gigantic flying boat “Mars,” built as an experiment by the Glenn Martin Company, has proved com- pletely successful in its trials. Th Army's B-79, larg- est land plane ever built, has also proved its worth. And far bigger planes still are now on the drawing boards of the designers. The advocates of cargo planes also say that they would be extremely diffi- cult to intercept and destroy. Their range and speed would be so great that they could constantly change their routes. When approaching their des- tination, Allied fighters could be sent out to screen them in. Due to the time element alone, merchant ! ships must closely follow certain definite and pre-‘ scribed routes—and they must, at the end of their Journeys, converge on ports which are known to the enemy. The planes, in brief, would be infinitely | more flexible. Steps are being taken to get the Kaiser program | started. The skeptics are waiting and watching | with their fingers crossed—while the plan’s backers seem to have no doubts at all.

There is a sinister omen affecting Labor, how- ever. The new Moon of this date, on which there is a partial eclipse of the Sun, brings cheering prom- ise for Britain. HEART AND HOME: This is a fortunate date for making changes in places of residence. It is a lucky time to sign leases and con- tracts that affect the family ws‘l-I fare. The stars presage good for- tune for those who start new en- terprises or begin new employment today. Many women will be added Yo the millions engaged in war in- dustries. Girls should seek techni- cal training outside their regular high school or college programs for | they will be needed next year. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: It must be remembered that the business world is dominated by the cycle caused by the conjunction of Ura- nus and Saturn, both making trine to Neptune. The general effect is to produce serious troubles in coun- | ltries ruled by the planets. Far- Ireaching changes and reorganization of financial systems are presaged. Great caution is important for bankers who nevertheless will be | compelled to take tremendous risks | due to unexpected war develop- ments. NATIONAL ISSUES: Whiie the youth of the land fight for liberty abroad, citizens at home should |unite in making the cities better | places in which to live. Sweeping reforms in civic government are! presaged in certain parts of the) country. The stars will cause a wide consciousness of corruption in metropolitan areas where vice and‘ graft flourish and public money is iruthlessly wasted by underworld | bosses. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Misunderstanding with one of its| Allies is indicated for the United ' States. This may mean that Rus- | sia again sustains serious crises lowing to difficulties in obtaining | supplies from this country. There | is a sign indicating the retaking of lost territory by the United Nations forces. Through terrible tests that bring grave apprehen- sions our United States fighters are to emerge successful.

S. officials recently by Hedley Williams, representative of the British Minister of Produc- tion, loaned to Washington to give the benefit of British experience. Williams told how he once pro+ posed to his Minister that George Deer, head of the Transport Work= ers, be made chairman of the war production committee in the Mid- lands. This committee, composed largely of industrialists, is for the purpose of planning and speeding war production. “Rubbish,’ said the Minister, “put him on the council but don’t mlko him chairman.” ‘Williams appointed the Jlabor leader as chairman anyway. The|I¢d experiment worked beautifully. Deer| .|proved an able executive and the appointment increased labor’s con- fidence and efficiency. Williams reports that all over England labor sits on war production councils and gives invaluable advice.
