B e ric h t e of 31, October 1940. 1.4040 SERDER LONDON /enElish/: In Washington it was announced that the US exported Soo aircraft to England in October, Kan nimnt, that by December a delivery number of average Boo machines will be achieved per month. Roosevelt delivered a speech yesterday, in which he explained among other things: We operate our upgrade with the greatest beach resolution. At present, six times as many workers are employed on the walls of the American Navy than in the year lg3s, the efficiency of the EEC fleet is significantly increased Worcen, especially by the cession of the British bases in the Atlantic Ocean. The USA also increases its army. Since the day Poland was invaded, we have more than doubled the size of our regular army. Our Hesser receives the best combat equipment of the Velt. We are determined to achieve an annual production of 5o.ooo,-- aircraft. We work day and night and make great progress on this goal. The Douglas-Verke doubled their production last year. The production of the Curtis plants increased to twelve times in the last year of the year. In the last 1 2 months the American-- d d d now hold such a large Zuetrom of aircraft that after three months of total war they can say in the air that their air force is today more petit than at the beginning of the air combat. Delivery of new l2.ooo aircraft has been completed with USA, I have expressed the wish that this purchase request of the English will be done cheaply by the existing place. As soon as we accept this order, the number of ordered machines for England will increase to 26.ooo cassines. The performance of the country will not be lacking. Through them, the U.S. will become the world's strongest airbust. Wilkie declared today in an election speech: A policy of support to the bictators is the safest way to war. If I were to be elected president, I would boost the production of the equipment industry so as to give England much more help than Roosevelt does. If you would like midh' gum presidents, the delivery of l2.dco aircraft would not be a sensation, but would not at all be worth mentioning. From Saloniki it is reported that the Intaliians were ambushed and had serious losses. - Obvchl had forbidden the Greek Öberkommando to take local action, the section commander has persecuted the enemy to the depths of Albania. - He was punished for this relic by the temporary withdrawal from his post. -2
