J Start, the Gi l near future. The industry is still up to its neck in production of the materials of war. Even if it is cut back along certain very limited lines, production is still rising over all. Nevertheles the fact that responsible Govern- ment agencies are going to sit down with key men in the industry to plan for orderly reconversion to peacetime pmduumn when that can be undertaken without interference with the war effort, is encour- aging. The time for such planning is now. There are many complex problems involved. They include the method of cleaning plants of materials and ma- chines owned by Government and arrival at a proper method of quick inventory without long delays and red tape. Such plans are vital to the transition period when the wheels of peacetime industry have not yet begun to turn again. The difference between sound planning now for these and other similar problems is the difference between widespread unemployment and quick re-employment. Profiteering in Reverse (New York Times) There has been much talk about the s\\ollenl profits allegedly made By the airplane manufacturers at work on war orders. There are, of course, some variations in the experience of different companies, but the annual report of Douglas Airceraft which was published recently broadly reflects conditions in an industry which certainly has made a major contribu- tion to the war. This report shows that the net profit of the Douglas Company, on a gross business of nearly $1,000,000,000, amounted to $5, 257 for the fiscal year which ended November 30, or $9.92 a share, compared with $15.38 a-share on approximately half the gross volume in the previous year. In other words, the profit of this huge volume amounted to less than 1 cent on every dollar's worth of business. The report further shows that while employment increased 103 per cent in 1943 over 1942, and reached 160,000 persons, unit. costs to the Government of the airframe produced were reduced an average of 22 per cent on the six models in production. Other features of the report disclose that the company has trained and employed 12,000 physically handicapped workers and 16,000 men and womén formerly in military service. Finally, the company produced, in the year under review, 112,000,000 pounds of cobmbat airplanes and spare parts, of which the Axis is now feeling ; ! the weight. exhibits chairman is Patsy Oakes. Working on exhbits will be Sara Linehan, Alaska; Claire Folta and Lorraine English, Central and South ! America; Patsy Oakes, Mexico; Lois Hared and Mary Thibodeau, Norway | and Sweden. .- i HOSPITAL NOTES | ‘ Master Peter Tassel, of Douglas, { has been discharged form St. Ann's | Hospital release the Drive, the Department was | mouthings of and other Nazi Jim Nicolo lefl, St. Ann’s Hospital | following surgical treatment. > Don Underwood, well known chef at the Baranof Hotel, has been dis- charged from St. Ann's Hospnal‘\ Mrs. Delbert B.
