activity of th Wright corporation in
producing armored aircraft is, how
ever, of less interest than the com

is practical is a considerable advance

Observer: In yesterday's Observer I
noticed an article that set me think

express some of my thoughts it may

thoughts generally precede actions.

omize to the extent of reducing the
purchase of labor by one hundred mil

performance? Is it not rather a
piece of great injustice to the labor-
