The American tanks have been approved on the basis of exhaustive tedts in Libya, under the same conditioms that wrecked the best designs pro- duced in Great Britain, Most of the tanks, sent to the Britisn, have been of the light variety, ranging from thirteen to sixteen tons Another item, of interest to those concerned with the defense program, comes from Detroit, where Chrysler officials intimate that mass produc- tion for defense has been reached, At the tank ar- genal, where the company was expected to prodice five thirty-two ton tanks a day, three production lines are “fully up” to schedule and substantial in- crease is expected, The company is also producing anticatreraft. guns and airplanes, From such glimpses it is ‘no wonder that Noel Monks, London aviation editor, after inspecting American plants, Is confident that the Increased number of American planes going to England will enable the British Royal Air Force to “dish it out ten times as well this Winter as last” and that, in six months, the United States will be flooding Eng- land with planes. the of i | THIRD YEAR OF WAR second anniversary of the war in finds Great Britain and Russia engaged in a strug- gle with Germany and Italy, with the Axis receiving some assistance from Rumania, Hungary end other minor nations During the first World War the gituation somewhat different, with Germany, Austrian, Tur- key and Bulgaria on one side, engaged in a deadly druggle with Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia end Japan, although the Japanese contribution to the result in Europe was largely confined to activity Far East Two Wars Compared first World War the outlook was much the same, Germany had scored some resounding triumphs and the Kaiser seemed well on the way wo bis final victory, In the other struggle the Germans had the same advantage that they now possess, In- terior lines and better preparation for war, Despite the reverses the Allled nations continued to fight and in the end, as the reader knows, the Germans and their allie went down to defeat The present war finds Italy on the many, France on the sideline as a and Japan threatening active hostilitie I'he British, as before, lowly preparing to thelr maximum power Russia appears to much more formidable than the Czarist gime.
