What is the theory or principle that American Bullding, Seattls, Wash, justifies publication of a monthly figure of airplane production and suppression of monthly figure of | shipping losses? It is pertinent to note, incidentally, that if air- plane production has now reached the spectacular figure of 7,000 a month it is for one important rea- son: because, from the very beginning of the war, [public opinion in this country has brought steady | pressure to bear to make sure that air power was |given its proper role. But in the case of the sub- {marine menace no similar pressure has been brought |to bear in behalf of a solution of the problem, be- cause a strict censorship of our losses has kept pub- |lic opinion in the dark concerning the gravity of this threat to our success We have long believed that, since the Axis! |already knows pretty well how many ships it has |sunk, a full statement of Allied losses would help our own side more than it would help the enemy. |But if the objections of our Navy Department and of the British Admiralty to such a policy of [rank-‘, ness prevent its adoption, then at least it should be It is already apparent that flight will be im-|possible to devise some means of public information mensely extended by the developments in range, uch as a monthly percentage of cargoes safely speed and load which have been accelerated by the ' delivered in terms of those shipped—which will at demands of war.
