the War Department has asked for
an appropriation of only approx

should not hesitate a day in appro-
prlating that amount and then must
get ready to make larger appropria-
tions for the greater air program
which must, and no doubt will be,
arranged by those in charge of mill
tary aeronautics and aircraft pro-
ducuon in the near future.

sufficient reason for stopping the
