Soma Horse Sense at Last


AT THE 18th hour, just as we had
n begun TO despair, little horse sense
has made itself heard in the aircraft
investigation in Washington.
For weeks we have been listening to
two types of witnesses: Witnesses VINO
pasSionately cried out for sinking the
navy and substituting airplanes, and wit
uesses who Just as paSslonately proclaimed
that all was we'll in the best of all possible
navies.
Now comes Admiral William S. Sims
thoro modernist, enemy of bureaucratic
mosSbacks and former commander OF our
naval forces in European waters during
the world war 49, with words that mean
something. Said he:
The navy is not obsolete. But II stands
badly in need of reshaping to meet the
conditions of the times.
The capital ship of today should be
more like the two new British ships, the
Nelson and the Rodney. which, tho called
battleshipS, are really aircraft carriers
armed with big guns.
Aircraft are absolutely vital 10 a navy,
A navy without aircraft, that Is, without
the means TO control the air, most likely
cOulQ not VIII II uAAhlts All fAAAAN't NNA AtNA
and submarines are the latest naval
weapons
To be of any use TO the navy, aircraft
must remain part of the navy, not 10 be
Incorporated in a separate service, as advo-
Gated by General Mitchell. Airmen for
service with the navy must be navy
trained.
"Offer me-" he said, 'the finest and
most gallant pilots and the best equipped
air force in time Of war when | was in
command of the fleet, and if they were
not navy men | would say: Take them
away; they will only mix up the game
Admiral Sims is one of the clearest
thinkers on naval subjects in the country.
He has made many enemies. principally
because, before he retired. he was con-
stantly kicking over the traces trying to
keep the navy from getting into n rut.
He has always fought old fogyism. This
old world keeps on turning and things
keep on changing. including arms and
methods of winning wars. Sims insists
on keeping up with the times.
We must have thoroly modern navy,
n navy that can float and fly and dive;
a navy abreast of the times down TO the
very last second.
We hope the voice of common sense will
not only be heard in the national capital,
but needed as well.

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN of the ll9
