We stopped making the Mark VI at once and sent our experienc- ed veterans to tli United States to buy quantities of the General Lee. IVrhaps you oan Imagine our dismay in tiiose dark weeks after Dunkirk to discover that the Gen- eral Lee had all the faults and weaknesses of the Mark VI. There woe no time lo build an entirely new tank. Hritlsh and American engineers sat down to- gether with our men who had been in ('Vance and made changes la the General Lee.

Pulling Together In the ensuing week* national- ities were forgotten; Americans, BngHshniftn, Canadians, Scotsmen Woik.-l aide by side designing, testing, discarding. American money aud British money went orer the same counters.

I have mnutloned mat liine tools. . . . The normal volume of the American machine-tool Industry U |250. OUO, 000 a year. Long before the United Slates liogan Its arma- ment mi Great Britain launnlicd a program of "float or- ders" .!! the American factories . . . the effect of which was to form a pool of atandaid mac.hlue tools from which both Hritisli and Amorii'an firms tould draw. By mid 1940 this pool \v.is an accom- plished reality and the volume of the IndiiHtry had been raised to 1350,000,000. By the time of 1'oiul Iliirboi i.he annual volume had risen to J760,- 000,000. three tliueH lu pre-war lie. Hut far more iuij>orlunt wae the fact that indispensable mar ohlne ..P.M were on hand to make possible the orurnlght conversion of many factories) to wartime ends. I hare ben told that ttie output of machlue tools lu America U expected to reaoh $1.500,000,000 next year -a growth which could hardly have been achieved with- out Initial iM'Ish Impetus. Concerning Shi,u Before we leave the industrial pnae of Britain's co-operative war effort, let us examine the matter of nhlps. 'Some people would be urprlsed to learn thai the Lib- erty ship being turned out In the United States today Is basically of British design, and that two of the shipyards now achieving produc- tion miracles were built with Brit- ish money. The story begins In September. 1940, when the British Merchant Shipbuilding Mission came to the United State* to place orders for 60 cargo vessels. After surveying the field, they could find no ship- yard or group of shipyards capa- ble of building them rapidly. They decided, there-fore, to build the yards. Sites were selected and purchas- ed at Richmond, Cal., and Port- land, Ore. Two brand-new Ameri- can companies were formed to build the yards aud the ships. On* of these, the Todd-California Ship- building corporation, at Hlchmond, had for Its president Mr. Henry Kaiser, who unt" that mo-ient had never built a ship. It is hardly necessary to apeak of Mr. Kaiser's exploits. He built the shipyard and 30 ships lu ap- proximately 18 months. Less well known, but hardly less spectacular, was the achievement of the new Upbuilding company at Portland, which accomplished a simila- feat In 22 months. The entire project cost the Brltioh $125,000.000. The most recent figures I ani able to find show that Great Brit- ain's war production per head of population Is still greater than that of any other nation on earth. That doesn't sound like business as usual. . . . Populations Compared Britain has a population of 33,- 000,000 between the ages of 14 and 65. Of these, 22.000,000 are work- Ing full time In either industry, the armed forces, or civilian da- fense. This Is equivalent to the mobilization of a.botit 00,000.000 people in the United States. Women between the ages of 20 and 30 are Mable to conscription In the armed services, and while all women between 19 and 45 have been registered for employment, those between IS and 30 may only be engaged through the offices of the employment exchange's. . . . Nor can it be said with any truth that Britain Is building up stock- piles of surplus materials of war while continuing to take what she can from the United States. In 1941 wt exported four times as many aircraft as we received from other coi:nirios, and Bent out 15 times as many tanks aa we took In. ... And thus we arrive at the moot question of lease-lend. What some Americana often for- - get Is that lease-lend is reciprocal. It works both ways. Supplies fur- nished to the American troops prior to and during the Invasion of North Africa may be cited as an example During the last six months of l'J42 these supplies rep- resented approximately 1.125,000 ships' tons, of a valup which can- not be estimated. They ranged from airplanes and assault boats to candy ami beehives. An Important Gift Typical of the spirit of lease- lend, I think, is on Incident which occurred in Uie last few days be- fore the Invasion, when American filers discovered they nooded radio equipment of a new type. They had no such equipment among their supplies, but the R.A.F. had some. Without an Instant's argu- ment, R.A.K. fliers stripped their own planes and helped Install their apparatus In the American machines, llcslde this It seems al- most ridiculous to mention that British Ifaso-lond supplied Ameri- can troops with 2,000,000 blankets, 2,000,000 SPIN of underwear, and 4,000,000 pairs of wool socks. . . . Hut perhaps tin- story can be summed to moat com>pr<<honslvely In the language of dollars and routs. In the last war the United States War Department alone spent more titan $2,000,000.000 for supplies in Great Britain and France. This time, up to I>ecem- ber, 1942. all Unltod Stales forces together spent only about $t,000,- 000. Londoners 'Mail' Bombs To Adolf Savings Stamps Bought and Plastered on 500 Pounders Thousand* of Londoners, and Canadian and American Holdlers, too, from a crowd of about 1,000,- 000 pushing through Trafalgar Squa.ro, bought savings stamps and plastered them on two 500-pound bombs In the square "for delivery to Hitler." The biggest London crowds Blnce the Coronation packed the square In a great rally to buy savings Htamps and certificates In the second day of the capital's "Wings For Victory" week. The Govern- ment hopes to raise 150,000,000 in the week. At one time an estimated 100,- 000 Jammed into the square In which a big Lancaster bomber, veteran of many raids on Ger- many, had been set up. The lions at the root of Nelson's column dis- appeared under the swarm of humanity. 'With Love To Hitler" Speakers urged the crowds to buy more certificates and stamps, and to spend less upon themselves. Londoners lined up to buy stamps, and then stood In line again to stick: them on the bombs set be- neabh the Lancaster. Soon the bombs were covered with stamps, six thick in places. They ranged In value from slx- tence to flve shillings and the purchasers cancelled them with such, messages as "with love to Hitler." The Government prom- LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher - > "Are you ur I'm getting the be.t grade of ga?
