A REMARKABLE RECORD The tremendous capabilities of the American in- dustrial machine tend to minimize all production figures, but truly remarkable nevertheless is the announcement of Britain's Production Minister, Oliver W. Lyttelton, that England has produced 80,000 planes and 83,000 tanks, armored cars and carriers from the beginning of the war through last year. Those figures go far toward explaining how Great Britain managed to remain in the war in the face of such great odds. With a much smaller labor force and industrial plant than Germany, Britain managed to produce enough war equipment to hold the enemy at bay during the most eritical period of the confliet. The RAF was kept in planes, and the home guard and desert forces were supplied with armored equip- ment under conditions which beggar description. Those 90,000 planes were built in scattered plants THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA —with trucks Jurching through the blackout to tak parts from one small plant to another. They were built despite the worst that the Luftwaffe could do to the industrial sections of England—and despite the fact that proportionately more were in the armed forces than is the case in the United States even today. It remained for American plants and workmen, and meanwhile Russian output, to turn the scales against Nazi Germany and the enslaved continent’s production. But the war might have been over now —and lost—had it not been for the heroic achieve- ments of the British war factories Highway Speeds (New York Times) What will be the effect, when the war is over, of the removal of the present nation-wide thirty-five- an-hour top speed limitation on the highways? Some interesting answers to that question have been re- ported to the Michigan State Highway Conference by Harold F. Hammond, director of the traffic and transportation division of the National Conservation Bureau, The consensus of the highway authorities questioned by Mr. Hammond holds that sixty miles an hour would be the most efficient top speed for rural driving. However, this presupposes good highways, with head-on and intersectional collisions eliminated by a broadly extended use of medial strips and grade separations. Such protection for the motorist is limited only by the amount that can be expended on highways. The car itself can be made nearly mechani- cally perfect. Indeed, accidents attributable to car failure, even with many cars on the road now eight or ten years old, are relatively few. What cannot be eliminated is the difference in driver decisions which are responsible for rear-end and sideswiping collisions. Urban speed, in the opinion of Mr. Hammond and others who support him, had already reached its safe (or more than safe) peak before Pearl Harbor. It is broadly held that thirty miles an hour is the most efficient and safe top speed for urban traffic Often, however, this will be too fast for conditions, just as sixty miles even on a super-highway may be too fast for rural driving. The whole cause of safety, take to heart the enforced lessons of the war period. One of the most striking of these lessons is the in speed. twenty miles. Over this distance, an increase in speed 'from fifty-five to sixty miles an hour saves only 18 minutes, Mr. Hammond points to another aspect of speed—namely, its cost. On astrip of 1,000 miles four of $1.88' an hour. An additional 2.8 hours could be saved by increasing the speed to sixty miles an hour, but at a cost of $4.10 an hour. very small saving in time which is effected by increase | Most automobile trips are of less than | Nashinglon ‘ Merry- So-Round (Conunuea irom Page One) BRITISH-AMERICAN DIFFERENCES Having taken these secrecy pre- cautions, General Marshall natur- ally was highly surprised when he read in the newspapers a few days later that the British bad an- nounced to the press that Lord Mountbatten was to command in Burma. Subsequently, there was ! frank showdown between General Marshall and General Sir Alan Brooke, British Chief of Staff, re- garding statements to the press Showdowns of this kind are only natural when men with strong minds are in command of Allied op- erations. They should not be in- terpreted as meaning disunity among the Allies, The incident is mentioned here only to illustrate the differences which have existed over Burma. These differences are now reported to have led to the present Allied stalemate and the Jap offensive. Most important conclusion drawn from the above situation is that U. 8.
