LOOKING INTO OUR AIR SERVICE

President Coolidge is not going to be stampeded
by those who determined reveal lot of rotten
ness and incompetence in the air service Neither is
he going to ignore the camor for an investigation.
President Coolidge is the in the United States
if there be only one, who keep his head in the
midst of storm. Poise is mighty good thing for
one who has such tremendous responsibilities imposed
upon him.
The President intends the public shall know
whether the air service is what Colonel Mitchell says
it is. He also intends the investigation shall be one of
fair and open kind, looking only to the public good
and to the impugning of no particular person.
1t may said there peculiar coincidence in
disasters to the Shenandoah and to the PN9-1 Com

grave suspicion that the service is receiving the
intelligent attention it should. 1t might even be
pected by crapehangers and pessimstic critics that
incompetence and skuduggery existed in the newest
branch OF our national defense 1t furnishes fine
opening for all such suspectve persons. 1t was the
signal for explosion the part of Colonel Nit
chell He was already smartng under discipline for
unruly conduct. Therefore he blew up and invited
army officers to do their 1t is our purpose
to condemn Mitchell. Maybe his TRADE against the
air service will result in good to the service Usually
those who are loud III their blame, wholly
right wholly wrong. If it were not for their
espionage many defects and short comings would go
uneXposed and uncorrected.
1t was unfortunate for Colonel Mitchell that
Commander Rodgers and his kept afeat with
their craft on the Pacific until they rescued.
They electrified the world by staying on top of the
waves instead Of descending to the bottom of the
ocean,. Live heroes much more interested than
dead martyrs The latter it must be said, would boil
ster up the contentious of Colonel Mitchell in much
better manner than will the former: Commander
Rodgers and his airplane crew furnish testimony to
confuse Mitchell. They were not, according to their
evidence arbitrarily ordered their perilous expedi

of these tragic incidents. Meantime it should be re-
