In connection with these reports, the Atlles' agents told United Biales aviation circles that at least 10,000 more machines will be needed from the

United Slates within 18

months, while oficials are relicent, It is understood that aviation cir- eles consider this figure of 10,000 reasonably accurate.

Britain and France at present have 2,010 combat planes on order, and before the end of 1940 orders ore expected to be completed for another 3,300, which is about the limit of the United States factory capacity.

By the beginning of 1941, United States factories will be able to supply the Allies about 1,000 planes a month.

WAR PENSIONS J. ULLMANN

LONDON, Jan. 10 (British Wireless). Twenty One years after the end of the Great War, the Pensions Ministry is still spending £38,000,000 each year. This figure was given by the Pensions Minister to-day when speaking on the work of his department, and he added that in 25 years, £1,350,000,000 had been spent on pensions alone.

Although 800 new case6 are dealt with each year, the number of beneficiarle has now fallen to 850,000, Saying that it was impos sible to speak too highly of this public-spirited action, Sir W. Womersley disclosed that 46 pensioners · hid voluntarily. relinquished their pensions as contribu tions towards the expenses of the present war.

His words of confidence that Britain is ready to face the grimmer struggle ahead meet with approval..

All American papers print the text of the specch, and a typical comment is that of the "New York Times," which says: "Mr. Chamberlain's speecht crackled with determination to win the war no matter at what cosi." Nevertheless, the paper con- tinues, he is able to look ahead to the eventual problem of the

next peace settlement.

The real strength of Anglo-French unity would not be seen until the this Nazi danger is destroyed. If time the leaders of the people of Britain and France can live up to Mr. Chamberlain's hopes for extension of Anglo-French unity, there will be reason to look forward "without dread to the shape of things to come."
