- Nallons of the world still debt-burdened from the last confllet are fluding that the price of war has gone up. Cost of the World War has been added up to $346,000,000,000, Cost of a new war would far surpass that amount, with new construction and high cost of materials responsible,
Army bombers, for example, like the "flying fortresses” in ventre panel, cost $250,000 each and squadron of 30 would release 100 tons of bombs daily, at $800 a ton. A naval torpedo, upper left, costs $12.500. Every round fired from a big gun. like the mobile weapon at upper right or the anti-aircraft gun at left centre, costs about $10, while a 14-inch navy shell complete with detonating charge costs about $120. A combat division would fire away $330,000 daily.
Modern battleships, fully equipped, used to cost around $30,000,000. each. Now the price has doubled. The new aircraft ear- rler Yorklown, lower right, recently launched at Norfolk, Va.. cost 920.000.000, New Hems to be considered in an Impending war would be fanks, lower left, and gas masks, not only for toldiers, as in right centre, but for the elvillan population as well. Tanks and elvitians' gas maska were out used widely in the World War.
