...agricultural potential was huge, and the Germans eventually would have realized it to the full. To boost future output, Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi Administrator for the eastern territories, had organized The Netherlands East Company, and had begun moving the first of 3,000,000 Dutchmen (one-third of the nation) from Holland to the Ukraine. The plan has met with little success...
Last year 279 new customers (a 15% increase in accounts) hooked up to New York Steam's 52 miles of steam mains and many of them were whoppers like the Ritz-Carlton and Plaza Hotels and Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. They will boost the company's gross revenues by about $3,000,000 (30%) and lift its total steam sales to a brand-new high of 13 billion lb. Last month another 34 buildings gave up begging for fuel oil and took to steam. What all this new activity will do to New York Steam...

Even so, most shipbuilders are sure they will make the goal with ships to spare. The means: 1) more prefabrication, 2) perfection of the assembly-line technique, 3) more welding and less riveting, 4) increased standardization of parts, gears and fittings. The chief danger now is shortage of materials...
