PROGRESS IN AIR
Warner and Dawson Assess
Value of Recent Exploits
and Gauge Future.

By the Associated Press.
While the air still is full Of reports
of projected airplane flights that even
few years ago would have stag
gered the imagination, the two Amer.
lean officials charged with administra-
ton Of the Nations military air forces
have had time, nevertheless. to con.
template the value of what has been
done this Summer, and draw at least
some preliminary lessons from 1t.
Assistant Secretary Warner of the
Navy foresees In a future war the
overnight conversion OF Americas
huge ocean liners into airplane car
riers which, under the protection Of
fast destroyers and light cruisers,
would accompany the battle fleet.
"Air Mindedness" Seen.
F. Trubee Dawson. Assistant Score.
tary Of War in charge of aeronautics,
feels that the recent achievement of
American airmen is a result of long
years of development and that their
accomplishments cannot be attributed
just to luck. He also believes that
the transatlanti and Hawaiian flights
have caused increased appreciation"
by the American people on the prog
ress in aerial development and that
''air mindedness" in the general public
means support and public interest
in air development"
Mr. Warner said that while air
craft carriers now were limited by
the Washington arms treaty. in event
of war nations undoubtedly would
convert merchant ships because with
a few changes airplanas could be
launched from them by catapults.
Anti-Aaircraft Guns.
He estimated that by this means
the fleet would carry about 400 air
planes with it. The Navy now has
844 planes, 500 of which. Warner
poses. Under the f1ve-year building
program authorized by Congress last
Winter this number will he increased
to 1000 f1rst-class planes.
Secretary Dawson said he regarded
the Hawaiian flight of particular i'm
pOrtance as in time of war it would
be extremely desirable to obtain and
maintain air communication with our
insular possessions" He said, how
ever. that these long distance flights
naturally prompted the question:
What is being done from a military
standpoint as defense against posi-
BILE enemy aircraft?"
He answered by saying that the
Army had and is pushing develop.
ment of anti-aircraft guns and gun.
merry. but that In his opinion "the all
important defense against aircraft is
our own aircraft"
"In the last analysis planes must
fight planes" he declared.
Better Deck Protection.
Secretary Warner said that while
several methods of defense against
aircraft and bombs had been devel.
oped by the Navy, after all, the best
defense is airships themselves. Next
are the anti.aircraft guns. which he
asserted have been made much more
proficient since the war.
For protection of the ships them.

redistribution of armor with better
deck protection. and changes in de-

Until a short time ago there had
been no means of communication be.
tween the masses Of the people of the
American countries. The only rela-
tons existing were those established
by the financial, commercial and in
dustrial interests, and, as everyone
knows, these interests are not always

welfare of the people. These interests
are actuated by three motives-pro-
fits, profits and more profits. In their
mad rush for material aggrandize.
ment they completely lose sight of
the rights and interests of humanity.
Since the financial, commercial and
Industrial interests of Pan-America
are so closely allied and are every
day extending their activities over
wider field opened up by the condi.

the more evident that the wage earn

There is something for Morgan's
airmen, with the dollar sign en-
blazoned on the wings of their ma
chimes, to use in haunting the peo-
pies of Honduras. In 1910 the
sweated toll of Honduras was COM
PEELED to bleed for only $4,000 Amer
lean dollars invested in their midst.
Now they must bend under the task
of producing profits on upwards of
25,000,000 dollars invested. When
they complain the answer is--MORE
WARSHIPS! MORE MARINES!
That is the way of imperialism
that rouses all peoples against it
and thus achieves it's own doom.
The American airmen, encircling
South America, are not heralds of
good will. Instead, to all oppressed
peoples south of the Rio Grande,
they bring the threat of the growing
imperialist danger against which all
should unite and struggle.
