Armament pioduction in the
United States has reached stag
gering proportions. In November,
every five minutes saw the birth
of one new complete plane. The
month's total was 8,789, of which
1.000 were heavy bombers. More
than 150,000 war planes have been
built since the start of hostilities.
Nineteen million tons of mer-
1 chant ships were launched in 1943,
. compared to 1,163.000 tons in 1911
