I believe my own exclamation, but, general is typical of some of those "buts which have arisen In your minds. land America is the super-dupe- r of inventive genius, business genius, organizing genius, mass production, high standard of living, assembly line, giant industry, efficiency, wealth, central heating, apple pie and unlimited opportunity. True, we got our first real drubbing at Pearl Harbor but we came back; the British were licked at Singapore, too, but they won the battle of Britain, Latterly, we collaborated in the smashing victory of Tunisia . . . the Russians beat em at Stalingrad, the Chinese have held em off for what seems a lifetime. Why, then . . .? The general looked a little weary but he went on politely I cant auote all he said but will give you the parts the OWI says is okeh. The enemy has the biggest, most effective fighting force in history. Biggest? But America and Russia . and Australia? Japans vaunted Zeros which could outmaneuver us because of their lightness, it is true, exploded at one shot. They have been improved. Germany has improved a number of her models, too. She is holding back many for defense. The enemy army, as a whole, is better trained by experience than our men. But those of our men who have had equal training and experience are as good or better, man for man, although not yet perhaps, of- ficer for officer. Remember, Germany and Japan bred an officer class. We trained a few professional officers, limited their prestige, resources and opportunity. The majority of our officers in wartime come from civilian life. They are good, when they get the training and the experience. As to the fighting man. Well, weve stood up to Hitlers finest in Africa at bayonets length weve beaten the crawling Jap at his own game, jungle fighting. Long Range View But still we have those odds which I (or rather the general) mentioned when we look at the long range vista. They are the things which the general brought up in answer to the buts Ill name the buts in a second. The point is he showed me why it cant be done tomorrow-w- hy we civilians have to be patient. He showed me what we have to do before we get over that "ridge. After tomorrow, we can consider: The enemy hasn't the initiative the Americans and British have.

By A. F. JEDLICKA While the war rages and war production takes up the interest of the country, there doesnt seem to be time for anything else. But as unsuspected as it might be, there is a great amount of study being made about solutions to the vast problems that will arise after the peace has been won.. Millions of soldiers and sailors will be returning from the far flung fronts; munitions and armament no longer will be needed in mass quantities, and millions of workers will have to be switched back to normal industry; and, pending the final disposition of and full development of our own domestic market, the huge production program of the farmer will have its complications. With all these things bound to come up, it is obvious that any studies leading toward lend-leas- e, the formulation of plans to solve these problems, will be of service in averting any hardships and confusion that might grow from them. Memories of the economic disorganization that followed the last war, both in the cities and on the farms, still are live enough to spur the present planners, such. as the department of agriculture, stimulated their cultivation in this the U. S. Chamber of Commerce country, where, indeed, they grew and the National Foreign Trade council. All told, more than 137 important government and private agencies economic are engaged in post-wa- r studies. This number does not include many state and local groups. New discoveries and methods developed from war production; the tremendous demand for all kinds of consumers goods upon which manufacture has been stopped, and the new crops and many uses for old staples that have been found all of these things are on the asset side for a promising post-wa- r prosperity. Surely, we will suffer from no lack of labor; In fact, profitable employment of all of our labor will be the big problem. From present Indications, we will be the most fortunate of all of the nations of the world, since most of our factories and equipment will emerge unscathed from the war. No matter what kind of a monetary system we adopt, our credit facilities should be limited by a need for money, and not by any scarcity of it. As the president of the United States Chamber of Commerce so optimistically declared, we are facing new horizons, in which the guarantee of economic as well as political freedom will open vast productive fields. Chemurgy Should Aid Farmer. Of all, the farmer stands to profit the most after the war as a result of the advancement of science. Chemurgy Is the new miracle which has taken the old crops apart to discover their essential substance, and then applied the specific properties to the manufacture of many items. Chemurgy has been active in developing plastics. According to a survey, a composite 1942 automobile has more than 125 plastic parts, and airplanes have anywhere from scores to hundreds of plastic applications. Plastics on the automobile Include upholstery buttons, steering wheels, accelerator pedals and interlayers of laminated safety glass. Plastics In the airplane range from grease and oil resistant tubing to handiest knobs, sight gauges, lenses and radio antennae. Besides chemurgic uses which have been found for the old crops, the scientist has gone into the fields to find useful properties in such former waste growth as cattails, milkweed and dandelions. These amazing discoveries have opened possibilities for putting formerly unproductive submarginal lands to good work. The loss of many of our former sources of supply for medicinal crops, vegetable oils and fibers has successfully many years ago before being produced in Asia at much less cost. Continuation of the growth here of belladonna, castor beans and hemp, for instance, is a question which eventually will fall completely within the political realm. Expect Building Boom. Next to agriculture, building holds the greatest immediate promise. In planning fact, much of our post-wa- r seems to be revolving around the construction industry. As a part of it, the timber trade figures prominently on new mass - production processes for fabricating sections of buildings and shipping them to a site for assembly. It t)as been estimated that the United States needs 900,003 new buildings every year 500,000 for new families, and the rest to replace old structures. Considering the fact that practically all residential building has been stopped by the war, the construction industry will be faced with a gigantic job of meeting the accumulated demands when peace comes. Because of circumstances arising from the war, the timber industry has received an important push that will stand it in good stead later. Since most shipyards, arms and munitions factories demanded all of the steel that was being produced, it was necessary to revert to the use of wood in constructing many new factories, etc. Because the wood had to meet specifications in strength and safety, lumbermen developed processes for treating the timber against loads, decay and fire. As a result, wood is expected to be used in increasing quantities in ordinary building. Besides the tremendous demand expected for private construction after the war, it is reported that the government has been studying plans for an extensive public works building program. Such a program, as old as Caesar, would take up any slack in employment, particularly in the passage from a war to a peace economy. In connection with the anticipated post - war building activity, the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning and Civic Association and the Conference Committee on Urban Problems have been particularly concerned with the reconstruction of many of the rundown districts of the big cities. Within recent years, many private corporations have been seeking charters from legislatures for rights to revive many slum areas with huge housing projects. May Expand Air Travel. Of course, the tremendous expansion of aviation because of the war Pollination Still Is Bees Biggest Job Tlie greatest contribution of honey bees to our wartime production is still In pollination of agricultural crops for production of seed and fruit, though the importance of both honey and beeswax has also increased. Domestic honeybees pollinate most fruits, as tlie wild insects are seldom numerous enough to accomplish this early spring job. In areas where most of the laud Is cultivated, wild insects have few places left for - has led to the popular belief that the impetus it is receiving now will period as carry it into the post-wa- r the biggest industrial development. If we are to consider the opinion of many aviation executives themselves, the airplane will play a prominent, but hardly a predominating role after the war. Costs of shipping freight by both train and boat still will remain much cheaper than air rates, and as a result the plane may be used on an increasing scale, but for special purposes. It should carry most of the mail. It is in the field of transportation that the airplane promises to enjoy its greatest expansion. Already, there has been substantial talk about the creation of branch lines to hook up with main trunks, thus establishing direct connections with all points. Larger, more comfortable and faster planes should come out of the busy research laboratories now concentrating on production of the best bombing, transport and cargo airships in the world. Automobile executives already have warned the people not to expect drastic revisions in models after the war. Cars of the immediate future will not be much different than those that were being manufactured at the time all of the plants shifted over completely to war production. The reason styles will not change much, automobile executives say, is because factories are stocked with tools for production along recent lines. With money in their pockets, people will raise a clamor for many items whose manufacture has been discontinued because of the war. Wash machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, stokers and oil burners, buggies, etc., all will be in demand, and if sufficient purchasing power is available, the problem will be one of production. New Products. Among the more colorful products predicted for the future, are gaso-lin- e for automobiles yielding 40 miles to the gallon, and nylon cord tires of unparalleled strength. Eye dropper quantities of lead tetraethyl added to a gallon of gasoline will convert it into e fuel necessary for airplanes. It is this new and more powerful fuel which heralds performances of 400 miles an hour for civilian transport planes, and promises 40 miles per gallon for automobiles after the war. Due In large part to chemical products developed for use in processing and vulcanizing rubber, tires of the future are expected to possess longer life. Cords of rayon and nylon, along with special carbon blacks for increasing toughness and for retarding the deterioration of rubber, are among the new developments. So much for the U.S.A. Looking around we see numerous us, changes In the world, many of which are bound to have their economic effects after the war. As an example, we need not go any further than South America. First of all, many of our good neighbors to th$ south are accumulating large amounts of dollar exchange, that is, American money, which will be spent or Invested here or abroad high-octan- nesting and breeding, and the pollination of most other crop plants also depends on the domestic bees. With the present urgent need for greater production of legume and other seeds, honey bees may have to be brought into the seed producing areas for assurance of good crops. Beekeeping fits in well with seed production, as the fields of clo- when conditions permit ver, alfalfa, and other crops furFurther, many of these countries nish bees with food and with nectar have substantially reduced their for making honey.
