Abstract

During the last war defense industries in the U.S. were not allowed to write off their new plants at the expense of the Treasury. They paid excess-profits taxes far higher than those now being enacted by the U.S. Congress. To judge by present-day spokesmen for aviation, this should have been ruinous, especially since the whole period of preparedness and participation lasted less than half the five-yen period they seem to consider desirable. Yet the balance sheets of steel, arms, ship, plane, and munitions companies emerged without having been seriously maimed. But aviation has been leaning on the government for many years.

Abstract

In the first months of the war, observers agree, Germany had 3,000,000 men under arms, 1,000,000 participating in the Polish campaign and 2,000,000 mobilized on the western front. At first glance this seems a formidable figure. In fact, it is significantly small. It is less than the number of troops called to the German colors in the opening weeks of the last war. Why? And what bearing does the answer have on estimates of the coarse of the war? From the Napoleonic wars until 1914 it was a commonplace that the numerical strength of armies was proportionate to the rise in population. From 1914 to 1918 the size of armies reached unprecedented levels.
