By GEORGE WELLER HONG KONG, China, July 3.—~Has anybody got a strip of land for sale, 100 yards wide and 3000 yards long? Britain would like to buy {te provided it oan be rolled up and relaild in Hong Hong.

fleet anchorages but poor in one thing essential in the age of air power: Alrfields. They still take your camera away from you before your plane comes ver Hong Kong. That's one thing that hasn't changed since the preJapanese days. But since they don't blindfold you, it's easy for anyone to see what Brit ain has and what

If airfields were demountable, the United, States could roll up one of a dozen enormous strips on Oki nawa and swap with the British for mutual use of Hongkong. Or, more practically, the British could move their heavy bombers up there In return for granting base privileges to the small American patrol—one

The Americans do not have one office or w se and live wholly aboard the Vessels. x “: n' » TO GET a bomber base the British are going to the Chinese and trying, by a combination of blandishment and money, to induce them to lease or sell that 100x3000-foot. strip on Chinese soil. The Chinese, in the good old Chinese way, are saying first, “You say how much,” and then shaking their heads and asking for more. The planeful of Chinese merchants, in white silks, and their wives, in tubular blue gowns, with whom I flew into Hongkong, wished when they approached their landing that China had come across with that strip. For Hongkong has one of the world’s most terrifying airfields. Even the fact that two American pilots were at the controls did not reassure either the Chinese or myself.

turers have no intention of rocking the inflation boat —now

If OPA is permanently discontinued, the production ‘of goods will mount rapidly and, through free competition,

prices will quickly adjust themselves to levels that; con-

sumers are willing to pay.

The great majority of American manufacturers are deter-

mined to produce as much as they can, as fast as they can,

to sell at the lowest possible prices.

-” 5

American manufacturers are also determined that such

price increases as may be necessary will be only those fully justified by increases in wage and other production costs.

Then, as production gets rolling again, supply will catch up with demand... prices will be fair and reasonable to all... quality will be improved ...black markets will disappear... and America will enter the period of prosperity that every-

one has been hoping for.
