The day-a-fnonth furlough ordered
IN the postal service in March to keep
within the budget estimates for the
remainder Of the fiscal year has been
revoked, effective May 1, because OF
increased business, an announcement
from the Post ONCE Department to-
day said.
At the time this retrenchment move
was made Postmaster General Farley
said its continuance would rest en-
tlrely on business conditions. 1t was
designed to save $9,000,O0O.
1t has been the object of severe criti-
ciSm by postal unions, whose leaders
have charged that the accompanying
restriction on employment of substi-
tutes was throwing $4,000 men on the
street..
The prohibition against vacations
until the new fiscal year, which also
was incorporated in the order. remains

Farley's statement on revocation OF
the furlough follows:

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana
R.-Nature has won the opening
skirmishes in what promises to be a
long battle with British Guiana's en-
gineers.
Pounding Atlantic waves, crashing
in from the sea, have battered huge
breaches in a mile-long stretch of
seawall, and the engineers have been
forced to concede quarter mile of
territory to the enemy.
Damage estimated at $250,000 has
been caused by the sea in the past

parently, is only temporary one.
Hastily erected earthworks have
stopped the waters inland sweep and

If Congress authorizes at
this session the increase in the
efficiency and effectiveness of
the Army Air Corps for which
the War Department Air Corps
bill provides, the United States
will soon have a military air
force equal to the strongest.
This vitally important legis-
lative proposal is now before
the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. In fact, it was
introduced in the House more
than a month ago by the chair
man of that committee, who
gave the War Department to
understand that he and his
committee were in hearty agree
ment with the War Depart
ment's program for building up
the Army Air Corps.
Experts Agree
This program was formula
ted after the most intimate
study by the general staff,
which is made up of represen-
tatives of the Air Corps and
the other arms of the service.
One of the merits of this
measure is that it embodies the
best judgment Of the best gen.
eral staff which has ever served
o Secretary Of War.
Another merit of this meas
ure is that it accords with the
national defense policy estab-
lished by Congress for the de-
velopment of American air
power.
In sending to Congress the
War Department bill to in
crease the strength of the Army
Air Corps, Secretary Dern is
following the policy established
by Congress and bringing that
policy up to date.
AS a result of intensive stud
les made by the War Depart
ment General Staff since Mr..
Dern became Secretary Of War,
the War Department reached
the unanimous conclusion that
the Army Air Corps should be
strengthened by the addition
Of a homogeneous air force
known as the CHG Air Force.
This new unit, which will
comprise all military elements
of aviation, was thus described
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
the Arny's able Chief Of Staff,
when he appeared before the
House Committee on Military
Affairs more than a month
ago, by invitation Of the chair
man of that committee:
1.-THE CHG Air Force con-
templates five wings. Perhaps

organization of the Air Corps.
They have tactical units, just
as have the other branches.
The smallest is called the
flight consisting usually Of
five planes. It corresponds. in
general, to the platoon or frac-
ton of a company of troops.
The next larger element is the
squadron which corresponds
roughly with the company.
"Then comes the group which
corresponds with the battalion.
Then comes the wing, which
corresponds roughly to the
regiment.
"Under conditions now cur
rent, I believe that the CHG
Air Force should have five wings.
There should be two pursuit
wings. There should be one at
tack wing. There should be two
bombardment wings.
"The size of the tactical unit
Of the air should be just as
flexible as the size of the tacti.
cal unit of any other branch.
Efficiency requires flexibility in
the air just as it does in the
other branches"
Up to Congress
II Congress will pass the War
Department authorization bill to
increase the Army Air Corps,
now before the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs, the
United States will have an Army
Air Corps of $500 planes as
soon as Congress appropriateS
the necessary money to procure
the planes and to provide the
increase in officers and men re-
quired to man them.
This is what Congress will do
at the present session if the
Democratic leadership Of both
Houses is sincerely desirous Of
building up the National De-
fense and will patriotically re-
fuse to play politics with the
National Defense.
The War Department Air
Corps bill points the way. It
carries forward the established
National Defense policy formu-
lated by Congress. 1t repre-
sents the best Judgment of our
best military authoritieS-the
War Department General Staff,
the Chief Of the Army Air
Corps and the chiefs Of the
other branches.
It is up to the present Con-
gress to say whether this vital
legislative proposal shall be
enacted into law or be pigeon
holed in committee.
