Made from Air.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Ad-
miral Sims today read to the House
Aircraft Committee an article he
wrote three years ago declaring
that the -"airplane will hold the
key OF power"
The article said that tests against
the German battleship Ostfresland
showed that relatively small bombs
could sink a vessel and that no yes
sci, long exposed to an air attack,
could escape.
Admiral Sims said the Panama
Canal could be defended, il pro-
tected by an air force greater than
the attacking air force and pre-
dicted an era of competitive build
ing OF mobile naval forces
Sims vigorously opposed the crea-
lion of a unified air service as Gen.
Mitchell urged but indorsed the
creation of power aviation as a
branch of the navy.
No Battleships.
Admiral Sims declared he would
omit battleships in making up the
navy and pronounced battleships
obsolete. He said the aircraft car
rier had replaced the battleship in
Importance and stated:
"Our position on the Pacific is
unfortunate and if we are to protect
the Philippines, we must have a
base on the Pacific"
Sims remarked that the Washing

States in respect to battleships and
airplane carriers but the armament
race was till going on and Great
Britain has so cruisers and Japan

Admiral Sims related how a
