FB% IL thro disintegration of the
United Air Service is matter
of intenS ,Iiety to all who realize
how high stake 81 national defense and of
national progress is involved It might have
been expected that our unpreparedness in
this vital particular upon our entrance into
the world war would have admonished Con-
gress to a free hand in safeguarding the
future. The distressful fact, however, is that
the appropriation asked for this purpose has
been cut to pittance which makes further
procedure in the Governments program i'm
possible. 1t appears, indeed, that even
the rudiments of continued progress in
the Air Service must be abandoned and the
gains of the last year or so be sacrificed I'M
less the present stinting policy is altered.
Mr.. David Lawrence tells US in one of his
eYer-1nteresting and reliable letters from
Washington that aerial defense of the Mexi-
can border, which has been under way for the
last fortnight and is half complete, must
cease; that airplane manufacturers are going
out of business; that Japan is bidding for
large numbers of the Liberty motors which
we produced as distinctively American con-
tribution to air craft; that with nine thousand
or more planes, thousand balloons and
some twenty-seven thousand motors to be
cared for, only two hundred and fifty Off
GERS, all of the Regular army are to be
allotted to the Air Service and that of these
only about one-fourth have had flying expert
Department informed Congress that a total
of ifty-six squadrons, or twenty-five hundred
officers and twenty-five thousand men, were
needed for the protection of the United States
in the air; only one half of that number, en-
listed men available and they are
useless without offcers-eXperienced pilots.
1t is deeply disquieting to think what this
backward step may cost the country. Avia-
ton has been truly described as "fast becom-
ing the first arm of modern military power"
Its telling part at European battle fronts
particularly in the latter stages of the great
struggle, showed how blind and crippled an
army without ample air service would be.
Yet we now are faced with the sacrifice of
such progress as we made under the spur of
war necessity. We are to lose the invaluable
organization then built up and the thousands
for aeronautic defense, not only in Hawaii,
the Philippines and along our continental
coast but also on the Mexican border, where
adequate air forces are intellectually impor-
tant. We are to sink back: in this peculiarly
vital branch of defense, to a state of unpre-
paredness as low as that which embarrassed
the punitive expedition sent against Villa.
Moreover, we are to lose the invaluable re-
suits which a vigorously pressed program of
aeronautic development would bring TO COM
merce and industry-all for lack of a reason
able appropriation. The country should make
its wishes in this matter felt in Congress to
the end that a great national interest yet may
be saved. Il -.-

INTERDEPENDENCE
By H. AddingtOn Bruce
TN HERE many words that are sadly

! TN HERE are many words that sadly
| overworked. There are some used
not nearly so much as they ought to
be. One of the latter is the word interde-
| pendence.
And the present is a time when the word
interdependence ought to be used with I'M
common frequency. For the fact which that
word represents is nowadays ignored by null
titudes of people
If it was not, if the reality of interdepend-
ence were more generally appreciated, we
| should not now be witnessing the lamentabIe
| spectacle of graft, grab, and class conflict,
which painfully holds the attention of the
world
Protiteering food sharks, grasping manu-
facturers, merchants, and landlords con-
scienceless vendors of worthless stocks, all
forget that the interdependence of men upon
one another is such that their freebooting be-
havior is bound in the end to work injury to
themselves.
Equally forgetful of this fundamental truth
are those workingmen who DANGEROUSLY insist
on wage raises out of all proportion to the
returns of the industries in which they are
engaged.
And even more in need of being reminded
OF the fact of interdependence are those agi-
tators who would subjugate all classes to
their particular class, making the interests
and welfare of one class paramount in the
life of humanity.
From the viewpoint of sheer selfshness it
self the one class thus made dominant would
soon regret its domination For in proper
ton as other classes languished, Sickness
discomfort, and revolution would become rife
everywhere.
The fact that they are rife today is itself
proof OF the dangers inherent in forgetfulness
OF mans 1nterdependence on man. But two
wrongs never make a right And a mere
shifting of power and privilege from one class
to another will be only a perpetuating OF
wrong.
Urged by some as panacea, such a shift
| ing would be found the most worthless of
quack medicines. 1t would leave the world
as badly Off as ever, ii not more badly off,
What is needed by every class in the COM
munity is radical change of outlook from
the self to the other fellow This change can
be effected only if the leaders of every class
unite in jealous preaching of the gospel of
interdependence.
We need to have this preached, day in and
day out, alike in directors meetings and in
trades union gatherings. We need to have
1t preached in our churches and our public
forums. We need to have it preached in our
newspapers and magazines, from the most
conservative" journal to the most "revo-
lutiOnary" organ.
Most important Of all, we need to have the
principles of interdepenGence taught in our
schools, colleges, and universities
Once get it really impressed on the minds
of the rising generation and that great es-
sential to huh an welfare, cooperation, will
ere long become happily established actual
ity.
