THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1943 7.473 PLANES IN JULY The production of aircraft in July sets new records, reflecting @ gain of four per cent in num- bers and four per cent in weight, ' po an output of 7,373 military The production of heavy bombers increased thirteen per cent by number. This is en- couraging despite the admission that warplane Production did not reach the standard set for the industry as a whole. It is important, we think, for people to understand thg high Production schedules have been set for industry and that when goals are not attained, it seems that production is decreasing. The July record in aircraft pro duction is not up to schedule but it showed a trend that i upward. BILLIONS ARE AT STAKE HUGE GOVERNMENT INVEST. MENT fhe government of the United States, in order to win the war, has been compelled to invest large sums iin various plants and facilities for the production of war supplies, equipment, mu- nitions, etc. It is estimated by some au- thorities that, in three years, the total investment has been as much as $25,000,000,000. This huge stake in the productive fa cilities of the nation pre Problem when peace ar Already there is campaign underway to compel the govern- ment to sell out its holdings to the highest bidder. This drive is hacked by the antiquated slogan of “keep the government out of business”. itry on the same basis as other} Let us assume that the propa- | ganda succeeds and that the government offers its plants for sale. Who will bid for them?} Obviously, the owners of priv-! ate industry will be the only! ones to bid because they will be! the only people able to operate them. i Let us look at the magnitude} of the government's investment) in a few selected enterprises. In| aviation the government's stake| of $2,700,000,000 is said to be ten times the value of the privately-| owned industry and if sold on, a forced market it will be gobbled up for a song by private. industry with the taxpayers paying the loss. The same observation applies to other activities. In steel, for example, government owns ten per cent of capacity. In aluminum thé output of government-owned plants | will be greater than all plants owned by private industry Magnesium production will b« 90 per cent in the hands of the government Synthetic rubber plants, gov ernment-owned, will produce an annual amount one-third greater than that used in peace time One-half of the country’s ma chine tool facilities will be gov ernment-owned The policy of the government in regards to these investments, will be of supreme importanc Serious injury may occur to pri vate enterprise and serious and useless financial loss may occur to the government be avoided, if possible The investment of the nation in ships constitute another prob Jem West war years. Aft-¢ er the first World War the gov ernment practically gave away its ships and shipping lines. Cer tainly, no such absurdities should mar the disposition of govern ment-owned facilities when — the present struggle ends. Admittedly, there are twa sides to the whole question, which cannot be satisfactorily solved without due consideration to the just claims of private industry and without due regard for the Tommie’s SKATING RINK SUMMER SESSIONS Afternoons’ Tues. - Thurs. and Sat. 2:30 - 4:30 Zvary Evening: 8:00 - 10:30 p.w waates Invited SKATE for HEALTH'S SAKE Lessons Phone Silt * weecceseee: STRONG ARM BRAND TRIUMPH COFFEE = MILLS AT ALL GROCERS ‘says that there are 7,000,000 fa Both should!“ Leemme | at — WA sEUNGION By HUGO 8.
