The coun try's vastly rich in resources, but it has stayed largely uninhabitable "because settlers, even if they suc ceeded in getting in, couldn't get out. With aviation's advent, the Latins took to it like a dog to a bone, much faster than we did in the United States. Hitherto, though, it's been equal to not much more than passenger and mail carrying, very little freight. Africa and the greater part of Asia are in the same fix. If post-war planes can do what such experts as Phil Johnson promises, these realms are due to draw like magnets from over populated parts of the earth. As to the southern half of Asia, it's frightfully crowded . now, but the northern half isn't, and neither are South America and Africa except in a few small spots. It's " true that big planes run into considerable money to build, but nothing like the figures in volved in manufacturing surface rolling stock, and they ask for no roadbeds at all. A taking off and landing field, here and there, suits 'em perfectly. Authorities like Phil Johnson don't forecast the extinction of railroads in the United States and Europe in any desperate rush. . They do say, though, that they think there'll be less and less in clination to replace 'em, as they gradually fall into impossible dis repair, and that, in 100 years or so, therell be a lot less of their mile age left than there is today. ' Railroads Unharmed I'm bound to say that the rail road managements dont seem in the least worried, but I don't Sup pose the horse-drawn coach lines did, when steam transportation was in its indpieney. For that matter, I can remember when horse traders didn't think the auto was a serious menace to the demand for their nags. Aviation, to be sure, doesn't threaten the auto as the auto threatened the horse or as the plane, maybe, threatens the rail roads. Folk with stuff to ship will have to have vehicles to move it from their farina and factories to the nearest airport, and its con signees will have to have 'em to get it from THEIR nearest ports to their premises, just as we have to have delivery trucks between railroad stations and our shopping centers as of today. : Skull SuRtRy By R.

A Weelc Off The War ' Twenty-six nations, including the U. S., Britain, Russia, and China, signed an agreement pledging their military and economic resources in a finish fight against the Axis and banning any separate peace. The nations also subscribed to "a common program of purpose and principles" embodied in the Roosevelt-Churchill Atlantic Charter." THE WAR FRONT The navy said it had evacuated Cavite and the army announced an open city by General MacAr thur, commanding the U. S. Forces in the Far East. Before entry of the Japanese, American and Phil ippine troops ' were withdrawn and all defense installations re moved or destroyed. launching of a destroyer, a float ing workshop and a minesweeper, and said keels were laid for two more destroyers. The navy also said it is converting the French liner Normandie into an auxiliary. PRODUCTION FOR WAR OPM reported $78,212,000,000 has been authorized for war pur poses. The President told a press conference that although present spending is at the rate of 27 per cent of the estimated 1942 national income of $100,000,000,000 pro duction will be stepped up so that by next July 1 the nation will be spending at the rate of $50,000, 000,000 a year or half the national income.

Labor The President's industry-labor conference to plan uninterrupted war production agreed: (1) There shall be no strikes or lockouts: (2) all disputes shall be settled by peaceful means; (8) the President shall set up a proper War Labor Board to handle these disputes, The President accepted the plan without reservations and said he would act at once. MANPOWER FOR INDUSTRY The OPM Labor Division said the U. S. has the manpower to meet 1942's need of at least 8,000,000 additional persons for war indus tries, but there is a shortage of industrial plant supervisors and skilled workers in some war crafts and occupations. The division said war industries now employing 4,000,000 will need 9,000,000 by June, 1943. AGRICULTURE . The Department of Agriculture reported supplies of agricultural commodities are at a high level with record production of many items. The general leVel of prices received by farmers during the month ended December 15 was 42 points above the corresponding period last year. OPM granted farm equipment manufacturers 83 per cent of materials used in 1940 for new machinery and 150 per cent of 1940 materials to produce spare parts. . v AGRICULTURE The Agriculture Department an nounced a favorable economic out look for agriculture in 1942 despite entry of the U. S. into war, due to the expanding war effort and pros pective accompanying rise in indus trial activity, employment and wages. ' Agriculture Secretary Wickard said 1942 production goals call for more milk, eggs, pork, beef, canned vegetables, peanuts and soybeans, and a cut in production of wheat, cotton and tobacco.
