Writer Baldwin, whose data are apparently as good as can be had in the U. S., set present German plane output at 1,500-to-1,800 per month, against about 1,000 for Britain,* plus 300-to-500 for France and 250-to-400 military planes for the U. S. (Even if each side loses ten planes a day, these figures if true mean that the air force of each side is evidently growing at the rate of more than 40 ships a day.) Expert Baldwin quoted official estimates of the potential of Germany's 28 factories...
...most immediate problem was copper. The Yugoslav copper mines, largest of Europe, are operated by French and British companies which no longer sell to Germany. Moreover, a French trade delegation is scheduled to arrive soon in Belgrade with the explicit purpose of buying up all this copper output. The special Yugoslav dilemma is whether to expropriate the mines and let the output go to Germany, in which case the country may risk an Allied blockade, or whether to let the French buy the copper, in which case Führer Hitler might decide to create a diversion on the German...
...Picasso's work up to the present, the Museum of Modern Art's retrospective show omitted only his student output and his recent sculpture (whose casting for the show World War II halted). Perhaps no other artist could survive so big a one-man show so well. It ranged from an academic study of moonlight and roses, painted in 1898 when Picasso was 17 and had already set himself up as an independent artist in Barcelona, to 1939 portraits in which he practices artistic schizophrenia and tries to catch several views of a face at once...
...coal problem, the Army's answer is the Columbia River's Bonneville Dam. (But Administrator Paul Raver boasted last week at the White House that demand for Bonneville power is currently twice its output.) Instead of coal (used in blast furnaces for iron-making, in open hearth furnaces for steel), West Coast steel plants would depend on electric furnaces fueled by new Bonneville generators to process iron ore (or scrap) directly into steel. A January 1938 War Department publication noted that stainless and other special electrolitic steels for war purposes are "peculiarly adapted for production in the Pacific...
...Chinese war, she has been buying twice as much as she has sold to the U. S. Her import balance in U. S. trade for the first seven months of 1939 was 258,000,000 yen. To replace German imports, to get deliveries before the Allies buy the output of U. S. factories, and before the U. S.-Japan trade treaty expires next January, the Japanese have boosted their U. S. purchases by approximately one-third. That put Japan on the spot...
