By COL. VIM. MITCHELL
Former Assistan: Chief Of the United
States Army Air Service in an
Interview With
CHARLES b. FARMER

We have established ourselves as a
nation. the richest in the world. Like
an industrious and thrifty man who
has amassed his fortune. we wish TO
sit back at peace with our neighbors.
But before a generation passes We
may have 10 face yellow hordes with
wings, trying to rob Us Of our wealth
Unlike the man of prosperity who
guards well his fortune. we have made
no adequate plans to defend our pos
sessions from them.
The threat of the winged yellow
hordes is shown by the recent state
ment of Commander Bubnov. Chief Of
Political Instruction in the Soviet
Army, in which he said:
Y sit will be East against West reNt
time. Russia, allied with China, In
'dia and ether colonial peoples, will
form a majority of the globes inhahi-
tants. and the world must shortly
reckon with a union Of Eastern poo
pies. with Russia at its head"
SOVIET UP TO DATE
Russia. the enigma Of the Western
world, has overturned not only the
existing political systems, hut the
military as well. When the Gar was
slain, Russia's leaders burned the
bridges To yesterday: not only the yes
ferday Of politics and economies and
sociology. but that yesterday Of estab-
hsbed thought in every field.
T Just as these leaders did not hamper
themselves by the political traditions
pf the past when they established he
Soviets, SO they have not hobbled their
progress in the art of war by clinging
~ the obsolete customs. They are not
numbered by vested interests. or by
Hesk sdmirals and wagon generals.

NEW STRATEGY EVOLVED.
: They have evolved an entirely new
strategy OF war. based on a conflict
in three dimensions-the air. They
have sbort-circuitsd the cost of abol-
jShir= clumsy and costly battleshins
which are no longer OF military value.
and by cutting down standing

lice purposes in any area they con-

But they have a3d are developing
aieraft in a manner which the world
knows little Of and some day. possibly
5D combination with other Far East
eru powers. they will make a sudden
and savage gesture to conques West
eTn civilization.
While their aerial strategists are
evolving this new technique, their en-
ciDeers are constructing air fleets IN.
known to any other power.
Information which l have obtained
from the most reliable sou-crs shows
that Russia plans 70 fight her next
war in this manner:
To send large forces Of fast pursuit
planes which will sweep the skies o.

by which the latter viii aid Russia

is willing to make whatever conccs'
/ sions will keep her on amicable terms
with Russia. and at the same tirnt
give her a powerful ally against En-.
ropcan whites who have despoiled heG
for generations.
Then there is Japan, flirting with
Russia, and seeking to solve her
problem Of over-population. While we
have lolled back at our ease, enjoying
the rich fruits of a war which never
touched our shores, those little brown
men have been ceaselcssly working to.
| ward a tomorrow with a new rising
sun.
Japan bluffed the western world "a
the late naval disarmament confer
Cnce at Washington. For days she
dc.,lockcd those sessions, demanding
lie right TO commission her huge bat
tlcship, which would give her sligh
naval advantage in the 5-J-3 ratio.
She got her demands as she generally
gets what she wants.
JAPAN'S AIR PLANS.
That was the gigantic bluff Of the
conference. over which her officers
at times have openly jested with ME.
As one said to me not so long ago:
The argument for the construc-
ton Of the battleship made the world
overlook the fact that we are depend
ing on aircraft in the future"
While that conference was having
its lengthy sessions, and distinguished
men we're pronOuncing sonorous
phrases of brotherly love, japanese
agents were busy ordering the latest
types of airplanes in the European
markets. Most of these were puf-
chased in France, and a group of
French instructors were sent TO Nip
pom TO teach the little fellows not
only how to fly them, but the latest
aerial tactics as well.
In addition TO this, Japan had
standing orders with certain aircraft
and engine manufacturers in France
by which the latest models produced
there are shipped TO Japan, where
they are torn apart. studied AMI
copied by her own people. But even
that isn't all.
Japan has modelled her aerial forces
according 10 German plan, and. cou.-
bining German system and French
tactics. she has syntbetically pro-
duced the most efficient air service
from the standpoint of personnel
that the world knows. Today, having
learned all she could from her foreign
instructors, she has dismissed them,
and is carrying on with her own
ideas. which are kept secret from the
world.
During the past year-and witbOu.
any fanfare of trumpets-Japsn has
established airways between Toxic |
and FukwOka; she has extended them
from Yokohama to Formosa, the DOR
to the Philippines, and now plans t.
carry them into Korea, Tientsin and
Shanghai. In peace time they serve
for fast passage Of mail and express :
likewise they keep a number Of flyers
in active training, and in complete
knowledge Of airways over which
Japun's aerial armies will move IN
wartime.
