EACH MONTH MR. WILLKIE
THE UNITED STATES at present is sending Britain between 250 and 300 'planes a month, it was estimated in Washington yesterday, and with every effort being made to speed up production, this figure should be steadily increased.
President Roosevelt's allusion in his speech at Boston to Britain's request fór additional 'planes re- fers to the scheme broached by British purchasing officials to the Treasury some weeks ago, when they enquired if it would be possible for the United States to produce 3,000 'planes a month for Britain.
Investigations showed this was hardly feasible and would re- quire the establishment of nearly 40 new factories.
Estimates were given for the production of about 1,300 planes a month, and a new British or- der for 12,000 'pianes, including both fighters and bombers, fol- lowed.
Nobody can say when an out- put of 1,300 a month can be two reached; Eince there are serious bottlenecks in Ameri- can industry, namely in
production of machine-tools and aero-engines.
