reinforcement Of the Army Air
Corps with 800 completely
equipped planes of the most mod
ern type annually, which will
presently give a balanced force
of 2.500 planes.
Congress must not be permitted
to shirk its responsibility by di-
verting public attention from the
immediate needs of the Army and
Navy and their air forces by re-
opening broad questions of policy
that have already been deter
mined and that can only be car
ried out by the authorizing of
the necessary appropriations.
Congress and the country have
the facts before them. They have
been ascertained and agreed upon
by the War and Navy Depart
ments and by the Baker Commit.
tee and several other fact-finding
bodies.
U. S. LEADS IN AIR
The air line transportation and
commercial aviation of this coun.
try, despite the heavy blows dealt
both by the arbitrary cancellation
of domestic air mail contracts, are
far ahead Of those possessed by
foreign nations.
There is more transport flying
in the United States" as the
Baker Committee reported, with
more passengers carried annually,
than in all the rest of the world
combined.
Our air line transport develop
ment has resulted in airplanes
superior in design, characteristics
and performance to those of any
other nation. Our air line pilots
are more highly trained than
those of any other country"
In naval aviation all competent
authorities agree that the United
States leads the world.
In military aviation the United
States has been allowed by Con-
greSS to fall below other leading
aviation powers of the world in
strength.
The remedy for this inferiority
lies with Congress. And when
Congress reconvenes, public sem
timent should compel the neces.
sary appropriations to continue
the naval building program, to
maintain American leadership in
naval aviation, to modernize the
equipment of the Army and to
provide the Army Air Corps with
the modern types of planes which
will make it second to none in its
defensive power.
These are the facts, Any citi-
zen can ascertain them. They
will inform that public sentiment
which alone can compel the Gov
ernment at Washington to "pro-
vide for the Common Defense"
one of the most imperative duties
imposed by the Constitution on
the Congress.

Keeping Up Defenses
By James T. Williams, Jr.

To be effective in its influence
upon the Government at Wash
ington, public sentiment In sup
port of the Common Defense
must be not only aroused and
organized, but it must be we'll
informed. The people are entitled
to the facts regarding the condi-
ton Of their armed forces if their
action in the light of the facts is
to be enlightened and irresistible.
Fortunately, the neglect Of the
Common Defense by the Govern
ment in the years following the
Great War finally aroused pub
lie sentiment that compelled the
last two Congresses to begin the
rebuilding of the Common De"
fense afield and afloat.
What is needed is the carrying
out of the program entered upon
by the last two Congresses. The
program is sound, the annual ap-
preparations necessary to carry it
out are not in excess Of budget
requirements, but the pressure OF
public sentiment must continue If
the defense program Is to be con-
tinued.
The United States now possesses
the strongest naval air force In
the world. An orderly program Of
new construction not only for the
air force, but for the entire Navy
is going forward. 1t must be car
ried forward at the next session
When completed. this building
program will give the United
States the protection of Navy
equal to the strongest in every
class Of combatant ship as well
as the best trained, the best
equipped, and therefore the most
powerful naval air force in the
world.
ARMY BUILDS UP
The actual enlisted strength o1
the Regular Army has been in
creased from 10000 to 10000
Next must come that moderniz
ing Of the Army which involves
mechanization and motorizatior
to keep pace with the most recent
developments in these fields.
The facts about military avia
ton are now in possession Of Con
gress and the country. After the
most painstaking inquiry by the
Baker Committee, sound recon-
mendations for the reorganization
of the Army Air Corps are stead
lily being put into effect. The Gen
eral Headquarters Air Force has
been established and the admins
trative recommendations for it:
development, which the Baker
Committee approved, are being
carried out.
But military aviation will con
tinue to lag behind until the Con
gress appropriates the money es
sential to provide the Genera
Headquarters Air Force with mill
tary aircraft Of the most modern
type.

Permanent Relief

How much of the relief organization that set up
to handle the temporary emergency caused by the de-
preston will be retained permanently as part OF the
District government?
WnshinqtOnians UTO are Worried about their tax
bills may as yell start thinking about the GnsUer

IUOrkers, UkOse task UGS to haze ended With the
return of reasonable prosperity, are making plans
to install themselves fixtures in the local SetHp
Miss M. Alice Hill, who brought here last year
from Harrisburg Pa, to take charge of the Public AS
sisance Division of the Board of Public Welfare created
to handle emergency relief has submitted her report for
the last fiscal year.
The division spent about ten million dollars during the
year large part of which came from the Federal Gov
eminent.
so WELL CONTENT IS MISS HILL WITH THE
ABILITY WHICH HER DIVISION DISPLAYED IN
SPENDING THE MONEY THAT SHE INCLUDES
IN HER REPORT RECOMMENDATION THAT THE
DIVISION BE MADE A PERMANENT PART OF THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE AND THAT IT BE
''ENLARGED IN SCOPE" AT LEAST AS TO SOME
OF ITS ACTIVITIES.
That recommendation will without doubt appeal to the
professional welfare and social workers.
But it will not have any great attraction for the bulk
of the ctys taxpayers already worried over the threat
of new and additional taxes.
Those taxpayers have had the idea that at some time
in the not too distant future the District Government
would be able to withdraw from the relief field which it
entered for emergency purposes
They can see that the Federal Government about to
withdraw the liberal financial support which it has given
the local relief projects
IF THOSE LOCAL RELIEF PROJECTS ARE TO BE
CARRIED ON WITHOUT FEDERAL FUNDS THE
LOCAL TAXPAYERS KNOW THAT THEY ARE CO.

For that reason they are going to be highly skep-

be taken to make the Public Assistance Division

It was so with all the colleges.
Training quarters were a wallow
of muddy suits and headgear.
The lads wolfed gargantuan meals
at training tables and enjoyed
being muddy and tough-perhaps
a suitable presentment for those
days of bone-crushing football.
The astute Knute Rockne Of
Notre Dame, great coach and

POOR BOYS GAME
A veteran football coach tells
me that this new emphasis on
showmanship, and, of course, the
open game, are the only impor.
tant changes in the football set-up
in the last twenty years, in spite
of all the earnest labors of the
Carnegie Foundation ct al. Scouts
still spot up in their suspense
files any likely lad who, in his
first year in high school, shows
a flash Of form, and try to Lerd
him into their college.
Jobs are found for promising
lads who need them-the old line
of furnace tending and laundry
jobs, as well as ushering and the
rake-off jobs in pennantS and the
like at the big games. Exclusive
fraternities still hold out their
lure for promising material and
"Uhlans" still help the dumber
gladiators to get by the profS.
mo, it hasn't changed a bit,
said the coach, but there's one
thing you mustn't forget. Rich
boys don't go in for football very
much. They don't like the tossing
around. It's mostly a poor boys
game and hundreds of these lads
get through college in this way
when otherwise they wouldn't
have a chance in the world.
Scholarship standards h ave
been frightened up a little and the
old ringers as they used to call
them-freak professionals and col
lege trampS until they were about
35-have passed. But the fact is
today that the stake in football
is so big that not even the dons
are making any fuss about the
boys getting jobs.
And any lad who shows real

sites. suppose that's about the

Office had advised the, quarter
master General the men were avail
able in the long period they were
sought.
Regardless of the question OF
the authenticity of the Commis'

arises as to whether the WPA and
other works programs are bene'
ficial in such instances.
The Quartermaster Generals Of
flee was forced to seek labor from

The Commissioner responded
the men were not available.
Yet, the Army cannot call for
unemployed men to do the work.
Under the terms OF the WPA
grant they must use men from re-
lief rolls and, if those men were
actually not on those rolls, other
men who had refused to accept re-
lief, although unemployed, could
not take advantage Of the stu
