size of the air force needed in
the event of a great war will
always be far beyond anything
that it is economically feasible
to keep up in any country in
times of peace.
"The rapidity of the develop
ment of the art of airplane de-
sign, rendering flying equip

against major power within a
few years after design, pro-
hibitS the gradual manufacture
and accumulation of material
and its storage for use in any
future emergency"
"The airplanes to equip the
expanded force in case of war
must, therefore, be built when
war is actually at hand, and the
speed of their manufacture is a
vital factor in military effective
ness. The relative wastage of
equipment in war, too, is beyond
anything known in peace, and
production must be kept con.
tlnuously at the highest pitch
IN order to supply the thousands
OF forces in the field"

It's not haunted but ghosts
have been known to hover
about the White House.
George Washington, the first
President, was also the first
Chief Executive to employ a
"ghost" and set the fashion for
his successors. Not as great a
master of English and history
as his associates, washington
turned to them for his speeches
and Jefferson and Hamilton
often composed the addresses
Of the Father of the Nation.
Coolidge secured most of his
speeches from Ted Clark, while
the GHOSTS" for Herbert Hoo
yer were Ted Joslin and Wal
ter Newton.
President Roosevelt, however,
is reverting to the old practice
Of writing his own speeches
despite the fact that he is head
ing for a record in the num-
ber he has made. True, Louis
McHenry Howe often drafts an
outline, but it is Franklin Del
ano RooSevelt'S phraSeology
that goes to the ''happy fam
ily."
And from all reports, his
words are getting better re-
ception than those of a ghost"
Once upon a time it seems
that NRA meant National Re
covery Administration.
It seems that time is gone.
Last year a local boy who
had made good on the base
ball fields of the town was
employed by the NRA as a
laborer. But he played base
ball on the Administrations
team.
This year when baseball was
at its prime he was asked to
take a job there again, having
been let out at the close of the
season. He protested against the
laborer'S job. Said that he
wanted a good position and sal
ary and got it.
He had no political endorse
ment, but was q good baseball
player.

U. S. Needs Big Air Force
BY James T. Williams, Jr.

OF the Is Federal agencies,
which have probed, explored,
surveyed and otherwise inveSti-
gated aviation, civil and mill
tary, since the great war ended,
all have realized that the build
ing up Of strong aviation in
dustry was foremost and funda-
mental necessity if the United
States is to lead the world in the
air.
These unanimous findings and
recommendations regarding the
aviation industry are in direct
conflict with the combined eff.
forts Of the Post Office Depart
ment under its political commit
tee chairman, of the one man
inquiSition conducted by Senator
Black Of Alabama, aided and
abetted by Senator McKellar of
Tennessee and of the pork bar
rel politicians of the McSwain
committee of the House to
harass and cripple the aviation
industry.
President Roosevelt must soon
choose between these two groups
which he will support-whether
he will lead the one in foster
ing the upbuilding of the avia-
ton industry or follow the other
in its sapping expedition to un-
dermine the industry.
Immediately after the Armis-
tice the Menhoher board, which
was in session in the summer in
1919, called attention to the fact
that an adequate aviation indus
try was absolutely essential to
national defense.
In 1923 the Lassiter board re-
ported that "for lack of business
our aircraft industry is languish-
ing and may disappear"
In 1925 the Lampert commit.
tea special committee of the
House-found that the report
of the Lassiter committee was
justified. 1t pointed out that
the development of the industry
depended upon Government
contracts, that because these
had not been forthcoming in
sufficient quantity the aviation
industry was declining at an
alarming rate.

Foreign Militaristic Organizations Have No

America should keep out Of foreign entangements and

American citizens should support this stand by keeping

They should also insist that foreigners keep their military

1t concerns the labor record OF

WE CAN THANK COLUMBUS

If you are trying to think of someone
to blame for the high cost of living. the
lack OF employment, political squabbles,
racketeering, and all the other ills which
bear US down in our daily lives, we have
the man for you-Christopher Colum-
bus, who 442 years ago today discovered
America. If he hadn't done it, we would
not have any of our national troubles
today.
But while you are taking this view of
the matter don't overlook the fact that
all these troubles were created, not by
Columbus, but by those who came after
him-ourselves If we blame Columbus
for them we do it unjustly.
There is the other side of the slate to
be scanned and it is a much brighter
side.
We have Columbus to thank for the
United States of America, the most glor-
ious country on earth. because of the
fine men and women who built it up
and in spite of those who came after
them and who would tear it down if
they could.
We can thank Columbus for the
whole majestic sweep of the country

the Atlantic coast line with its huge

broad, fertile plains of the middle west
the granary of the nation-in spite of
all that has conspired against it, the
grandeur of the Rockies, the serenity of
the Southland and the proud beauty that
justifies the boasts of the Pacific coast
country.
Without the faith and the courage of
Columbus the nation that is ours still
might be undiscovered. The claims of
others to prior discovery may be true
but they do not detract from the univer-
sal recognition given Columbus, nor does
the fact that he reached only West
Indian island instead of the mainland
lessen his right to the title of "Discov-
erer of America"
Today is Columbus day, not recog-
nized too generally by the rank and file,
but certainly one of the most important
anniversaries in the calendar.
