MR. LINDBERGH'S assumptions that the combined Anglo-American aircraft output could not surpass that of Nazi-controlled factories were strikingly belied at East Hertford (Connecticut), both by impressive figures on the present output of American aero engines and the considered state- ment of one of the greatest authorities in the United States aircraft industry.

As for the man in the street in Berlin, he has been indulging in the out-break of the German- Soviet war. His main idea is that once the Russians are defeated, the Allies would admit the pos sibility of a compromise peace.
