Next day the council divulged a more damaging document: a report of the 1938 Communist Party convention in New York by one "J. Mason," believed to be a prominent member of Local 5. "Mason" referred to Local 5 as "our" (i.e., the Communists') local, and went on: "It has grown from about 300 three years ago to 7,000 today. We also helped set up the WPA and college teachers' locals of 1,000 each. . . . There are several hundred party members in the union. This is a big fraction and more than is necessary in our industry...
FORTUNE'S gorgeously illustrated document ranges over the strategy of sky war, turns the aircraft industry inside out, dabbles in aeronautical research, peeks prophetically into a future wherein "the whole world is the shoreline of the universal ocean of air." But its most telling pages seek to smash an illusion and restore a faith.

Like the budgets of Mr. Average Citizen, it was full of unjustifiable errors of judgment, of expenses borne out of habit, of big installments still being paid on past mistakes. Like private budgets, too, was its patient, powerless, hopeful meaninglessness: there was no magic...
Today Congress has before it a bill designed to implement that policy. Commonly known as the "Lease-Lend Bill," this document gives to the Chief Executive wide powers to aid Britain. It empowers him to disregard the Johnson Act and the Neutrality Act. It gives him sole authority over the terms of the transactions whereby American war material of all kinds is to be manufactured and transferred to the British. It grants him the authority to sell, exchange, lease, or lend guns, munitions, aircraft, vessels, machinery, tools, supplies, and military information...
