The Race for
Air Supremacy
by DIR. FRANK CRANE.

It was but yesterday In the history
Of the world that all the nations
were rushing forward in military
competition. Each state was en-
deavoring to have bigger army and
q bigger navy than its neighbor.
This sort Of thing came to climax

think that the war was a sort of
willful crime perpetrated by Germany
or any other nation. 1t was an au-
tomato war. for II came automati-
cally as the logical result of the old
der. or the race for military su-
premacy.
And now we have embarked upon
q similar dance of feath,
The other powers have found out
that France has 140 squadrons of
inc planes each, ready for some flu
tire kill feast. and hence is over
Whelmingly supreme in the air.
Alarmed at this, the British pariia-
n4erit approves the spending of $25,-
0O0, 900 a year on air power for three
years. at the end of which time Great
Britain will have fifty-two home
suuadrons of twelve planes each. in
addition to other squadrons on for
etgn and naval duty.
France came back with a provfS-
ion for 220 squadrons. Italy anu
russia are girding up their lOins to
go into the race also. And the United
