Because there had not been sufficient time for all the Superforts to reach their bases after a round-trip flight of more than 3,000 miles the 20th Air Force was unable to say whether there had been American losses. Japanese broadcasts, admitting that 70 to 80 B-29s had bombed Omura and Nagasaki, asserted that 14 of the Superforts were shot down, 11 probably downed and seven set afire against a loss of four Japanese planes. The B-29s, fighting their way above hundreds of miles of enemy-controlled land and water, used their precision instruments to drop their heavy bombs through clouds on the Omura works, previously attacked in force Oct. 25 and Nov.

Anti-aircraft opposition, the communication noted, was weak.

Omura has as part of its sprawling aircraft factories an important assembly depot and repair station, and is an air force training point. It is on the east coast of Omura Bay 12 miles northeast of Nagasaki. The aircraft works, comprising 75 buildings, occupy 2,500,000 square feet.

Wilson asked and then answered his question thus: "By increased production, of course, but you can't manufacture goods with the idea that the last station on the assembly line is the customer with waiting arms and open checkbook. In our thinking about postwar business and employment, we have naturally concentrated on heavy industry and manufacture." Example of. 1920. Wilson recalled, in illustrating how American industry should profit from the lessons of the past, that in 1920 some $15,000,000,000 in income was shut off with the closing of plants and reductions in working hours.

"There were 100,000 bankruptcies," he continued, "and a 44 drop in industrial payrolls. That must not happen again." Quoting Eisenhower's plea for war materials, the President said the shortage of ships and shells constituted the bulk of the problem now thwarting all-out prosecution of the war. Shell Production Down. Shell production, in particular, he said, had slipped to a point where our forces have to ration ammunition fired at the enemy, and it is this situation that is costing lives in the battle against Germany and Japan.
