U.S.A. Getting Ready
“This country over here is getting ready for trouble,” writes Mr. L. G. Hubble, an official of the Boeing Aircraft Company, of America, to a relative in Gisborne. The writer, who visited New Zealand just before the outbreak of war in order to sample the Dominion’s trout and deep sea fishing, adds: “This plant has over 21,000 men working in it alone, building nothing but airplanes and this is just one of four such plants that this company is operating. So you can gather from this that they are really turning to. I might add that this is only one of mani> firms the same size as this one. Of course, you must appreciate all of this cannot be done overnight. In another six months I would estimate the majority of them would be in full production.”
