Many Fliers, Few Planes

Government Aid for Commercial Aviation
Is Greatest Defense Need
TNHE American people are united in the demand for
l. an air force second to the most effective
means of national defense.
At present we are SIXTH among the air powers of
the world
On July we had 1,129 fighting planes.
Contrast that with the following:
FRANCE 4,4O0; RUSSIA, 1000; ITALY, 4,4O0;
GERMANY, $500; GREAT BRITAIN, 1,790; (SOON
TO BE TRPLED); JAPAN, 1900.
We are building 500 additional planes, but with
these we shall still be far behind the nations
Grated above.
Yet we can build the best planes and train the best
pilots in the world and people are, the whole,
more air-minded than any others in the world.
All that is needed is Government action to give us
the finest air force in the world.
Such action however, should not be limited to build
ing more military and naval planes or training more
military and naval pilots.
It also should include substantial encouragement and
SUBSIDIZING of commercial aviation, and the CREA-
TION OF JOBS for COMMERCIAL PILOTS.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG AMER
ICANS WHO HAVE LEARNED TO FLY, BUT WHO
CANNOT FIND EMPLOYMENT AS FLIERS
WITH A REAL PROGRAM OF GOVERNMENT
AID TO AVIATION THESE AND OTHERS WOULD
FIND THE WORK FOR WHICH THEY HAVE
TRAINED THEMSELVES, AND WOULD PROVIDE
AN AVIATION RESERVE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE
TO MEET WARTIME NEEDS.
Foreign governments build up their merchant ma
rnes as auxiliaries for their navies.
The United States should not only do that but extend
the idea to commercial aviation and scale suffi
cent to give us an EFFECTIVE AIR FORCE.
Many types of commercial planes can be transformed
quickly into military or naval planes.
With intensive training any competent commercial
pilot can be transformed into military naval pilot
But Government initiative and money both
qured, and though the Government has the money it
apparently lacks the initiative to do it.
The greatest contribution that President Roosevelt
and the new Congress can make to national defense
is to build up commercial aviation and AID COM
MERCIAL FLIERS.
When the Government reopens for business, next
January, this ought to COME FIRST.

clear Of. He ALI M. Landon
went to the White House. His
appearance there, I am reliably in
formed, was something in the way
of the unusual.
AS he jumped from the car that
conveyed him to the portals of
the Executive Mansion the array
of movie camera men and still
photographers appeared to be a
little larger than usual but, in the
lobby and at the windows crowded
a group containing pretty nearly
all of the employees in that branch
of the White House.
One Of the White House CORE
spondents told me that only on
one previous occasion had viSi.
tor drawn the StenographerS,
clerks and secretaries from their
offices below stairs. That was the
J time Jimmy Cagney, movie picture
tough guy, came to call. Jimmy
has a habit of Socking the girls
playing opposite him in the mo-
tion pictures, only as per the script
of course, and the girls love it.
Not the ones who get Socked, the
ones who watch him sock the
other ones.
At any rate, the girls at the
White House met and looked at
the man who takes his defeat with
a smile and has the aplomb to
walk right up and shake hands
with the man who defeated him
right in the office he would have
occupied if he had won. Further
than that to get to the office he
had to ride right past the work
men busy erecting the Court of
Honor from which the dignitarieS
will view the inaugural parade
that he might have been in.
NO OUTWARD SIGN
Regardless of what pangs he
felt underneath, his smiling ex-
terror showed no regret at all.
Some Of those who had been with
him during the campaign said he
was a whole lot happier now than
he had ever been while campaign
ing.
He can take it all right. The
news columns have recorded how
he wisecracked before the cameras
everywhere he went, but here is a
story right to the point. He had
consistently refused to discuss
politics with any of the newsmen.
He had a lot Of friends among
them and called more than half

tend, of course, that the thou
sands of Government employees in
washington will, as the case may
be, support, on election day, the
administration under which they
work and those who gave them
their jobs. Even that is no ex-
cuse, for it would work in favor
Of one political party at one time
and another at another period.
And more than that, let it Q
recognized that thousands upon
thousands Of residents OF the
District of Columbia are not Gov
ernment employees. There are
Storekeepers, clerks, hotel work
ers, employees of garages, filling
stations, shops and factories and
many, many others. Why should
they be denied the right to vote
because they live in the District
of Columbia, which happens to
be the seat of the Federal Gov
ernment? Should not all citizens,
regardless of where they live, be
represented in their government?
Those who sponsor a change,
who urge that what they consider
a great wrong be righted, have
this to say:
"A reading Of the debates Of
the Constitutional Congress indi-
Gates that there was no intent
by the trainers of our Govern
ment to deny application of this
principle to those who CHANGED
to live in the National Capital.
"The Constitution-makerS unin-
tentionally failed to give Con-
gress the power (analagous to
that which is possessed with re-
gard to the admission of terri
tories to Statehood of granting
representation in Congress, and
in the Electoral College, to the
population of the District when
it becomes fit"
There are, we dare say, many
citizens who do not know that
the residents of the District of
Columbia are denied the right to
vote. There are thousands upon
thousands who do know it and
who have wondered for years why
such a Situation-certainly un-
American-should prevail or be
permitted to contin 4e. It is to
be hoped that the next Con-
gresS will take this matter Geri-
ously and promptly take steps
to right wrong which has ex-
listed all too long.

'ings. But, cost what it might, I
took that bath-because I liked
the feel of it
It did something to me-that
feeling. Something more than
cleaning my tired body. 1t cleaned
my spirit. It was part Of an un-
spoken bargain which I was keep
ing with myself through deSolate
years, against desperate odds.
I couldn't eliminate those odds
E. couldn't wipe out the inhuman-
ity which had put me on the spot,
any more than you can wipe out
the injustice you'll face as you
make your way, lad. And I had
so little wherewith to fight-no
money or education, not even
health and youth.
But I could make one gesture
Of defiance-one gesture which
prevented the powers Of dark
ness" as represented by wood
ticks, blisters, sand and sizzling
sun, from getting me down COM
pletely-I could take a bath!
Which might seem screwy to the
natives. AS honesty may seem
screwy to some of the residents
of Wall Street. But, to me, the
feel of that cleansing water on my
dusky skin was as fresh and shin
ing armor!
THE ANSWER
Why do believe that decency
pays? That's why. Because like
the feel of it-I like what the
feeling of it does to me. I'm not
kidding myself. I realize that my
rare acts of honesty cannot pos
sibly change an uncivilized world.
They do not even change the un-
civilized ME! And I'm also aware
that I'll be both misunderstood
and disliked when my equally
rare courage raises Cain with the
other fellows cowardice, as cour-
age inevitably must. Yet still I
insist that decency pays
For it is the only thing that
helps me keep the faith-that en-
ables me to rise not only above the
other fellows cussedness but also
above my own-the only thing
that gives me strength to cry, IT
am the master of my fate, I am
the captain of my Soul!"
AS a super-mind I'm a flop. AS
Slickster, I'm not even a good
stooge. But I've one trick no COM
bination can beat-I can be de-
cent! 1 can take a bath! So bring
on your Woodticks-Ic can take 'em!

happen that the plays which
break the records are the ones
which are counted out on the
first night.
In the spring of 1922 a young
woman, who had taken to play
writing because she objected to
paying $25 weekly in royalties for
the skit she was doing with her
husband in vaudeville, brought on
a show she had produced in Cali
fornia. They told her politely in
New York that the month of May
was a bad time to open. When
she insisted she was left to go it
alone, which she did. A consen'
sus of critical opinion on the
morning after read like this:
"'Abie' Irish Rose is the worst
play ever written"
SETS NEW RECORD
Maybe it was, bit for five years

through 1882 performances. That
mark has never been approached.
The author producer, Anne
Nichols. made $5,000,000. accord
ing to report.
The previous record run was
that Of "Lightin'," starring Frank
Bacon, which went for 1921 per-
formances. Bacon had been troup-
ing for years in a vaudeville Skit
before he got together with Win
chell smith and the skit was ex'
panded into the full-length play.
A case like that of "Lightnin'
was "The Old Homestead" which
Denman Thompson stretched out
from a 15-minute piece into
one of full length. Last week in
New York another play supplanted
"Lightnin' as the runner up to
