AIR POWER VITAL IN WAR
BY W. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

toward universal progress?
The Lusitania Is not yet so dim q
memory but that we can recall what
havoc the newly developed weapons
of warfare can reek upon an unpre
pared country. In the last war we
were unprepared to meet the subma
rine menace In the next war we will
be equally unprepared to meet the air
menace unless we coordinate our
TRANSFORMATION systems in time of
peace and make of these Transports
ton systems a great reserve for use
in national defense.
One recalls the long line Of white
foam breaking gently on the chalky
cliffs of England. Does not that pic
ture bring to mind that each OF those
lines of foam represented during the
World War the white shroud OF some
American woman or baby? That
thought then was sufficient. even more
so than the Boston tea party. to
arouse our fighting blood, dormant
though it may have been Immediately
preceding our entry into the war.
And there will be other outstanding
monuments in the future equally sug'
gestive Of our reluctance to build UP
national defense unless we, through
concerted action. enforce upon our
Government the necessity Of adequate
preparation.
Never before have we needed fear.

on the threshold of an era Of air
power. But we have no national air
policy. Properly developed. the air.
plane will take rank as transporta.
tons fourth estate. Unrestricted In
warfare. the airplane will become the
greatest destructive agency.
The proper development of air
power means that we should follow
the example of Great Britain. Italy
and France and make 1t our first line
of defense. 1t must have it's own or.
ganization and not be farmed out as
an orphan in the asylums Of the Army
and Navy. AS a patriotic duty. it is
for us to see that this modern air or
phan Is given its chance to grow and
not be tucked away as auxiliary to an
Army which will not entrench In the

Every great nation is today assem-.
bling its air fleets. preparing for the
next war.
do not like to think war.
l do not like to talk war.
But we cannot afford to rely longer
on Anticipated methods Of defense.
Modern nations are demobilizing
their great armies. scrapping their
useless. creeping dreadnaughts and
turning to the lighter and more mobile
cruisers of the air.
There are only two courses which
we as a nation can take--either build
up a great air feet Immediately. or
the great moral force of this Nation
must be used to bring about a further
limitation of ornaments. the adoption
of rigid rules of air warfare: otherwise
civilization will hang in the balance.
The next war will come at the drop
OF bomb. and our cities. without an
adequate protecting air force. will be
ruthlessly wiped out.

there which would not follow our lead
along this pathway toward peace?
But we can do both.
In the meantime we can prepare.

Lack of Trade Affecting All

PARIS, July 1.-The French are
awakening to the realization that. SO
far this season. large numbers of
tourists are passing right through
France to other countries, making
short stops and buying little.
"Where are the tourists of other

from shopkeepers hopeful of a bump.

champagnedrinking travellers are this
year. and department stores, which
augmented their stats with inter.

relied on the tourist trade to carry
them over the dull early Summer
period, are all complaining that the
tourist crop is inadequate"
There are few style shows going on
in big dressmaking houses at present
although the tourists usually cause
the Summer collections to be shown
daily up to the day of the Winter
openings.

the greater purchasing power of the

which would cover a distance Of about
5000 miles,. - E4-
From that point the flyers would
have to span another body OF water,
the Indian Ocean, landing on the Is
land of Sumatra. The distance OF this
hop would be close to $500 miles. A
shorter jump to Borneo Island in the
East Indies would then be made, but
It is regarded as doubtful If the next
leg of the journey across the racine
from that point would be made with
ont stopping at the little Christina
Island, which rests alone in the mid
Pacific. The estimated distance be-
tween Borneo Island and Ecuador on
the west coast Of South America Is
more than 10 900 miles, and it would
be virtually impossible at this time.
it was said, to make such a jump
without a stop.
Three Hops Across Pacific.
The Pacific hop, it was explained,
likely could be arranged Tor three
stops, one at Christina Island, few
hundred miles north OF the Equator:
another on the Galapagos Islands, OH
the Coast of Ecuador, and then COM
plete the trip to the South American
continent on the third lap.
The location Of the stops for a flight
around the Equator is one of the i'm
portant aspects of the expedition, al
though considerable thought will have
to be given, it was explained, to the
atmospheric conditions.
The distance phase of an expedition
of this kind is not of chief concern to
naval aviation officials. Assistant Sec
rotary Warner, in charge OF naval air
activities, recalled that Navy flyers
flew more than 100000 miles last
year, which would have carried them
around the globe daily at the Equator
do Not Fear Accidents.
Neither are the naval authorities
concerned seriously with the accident
hazard involved in such a flight, nor
do they doubt the success of achieve
ment. The succession of achievements
that American flyers have accom-
plished in the past six weeks, COM
bined with the safety of naval avia-
ton, has given them increased con-
fidence.
Naval flying records for the fiscal
year 1927 which has just closed show
that despite greatly extended actlVl-
ties, the safety of flying nevertheless
has improved. The number OF pas
senger miles flown in the naval serV-
ice for every fatality, according to the
records, were approximately 75O,O0O,
while the number Of hours OF flight for
each accident in which the pilot was
filled was more than $500. The former
figure is slightly inferior to that for
1926, but more than rs per cent better
than the record for any previous Jear.
The hours of flight per fatality to the
man in charge of the machine, how.
ever, was more than 80 per cent
better than in any preceding year and
more than twice as high in 1928 as
the years before that.
