Random Notes
The Colonial Council will meet today

Government Secretary Robert Herrick
was expected to fly to st. Croix yesterday
but probably COULD not do so because of
the high wind which have swept over the
islands since Sunday night
Mr.. Herrick wanted to discuss with the
Municipal Committee the serious situation
confronting the hospitals which at the end
of March or before that time will be out
of funds and consequently out of medi-
cal and other supplies.
Secretary Herrick despatched a radie
message to Governor Cramer who is in
Washington outlining the seriousness of
the situation.A suggestion has beenmade to
borrow money from funds over which
the Government has control The Num-
cipal Committee does not know if it can as
sumo this risk, because the Comptroller
General of the United States directs the
manner in which money from the public
treasury may be expended. No one knows
if he will permit the repayment of the
money; some departmental regulations or
law may make it impossible.
Up to the moment of adjourning yester-
day evening the Municipal Committee had
no information relative to Governor era
mer's reply to the Secretary's message and
could devise no means of raising the
money

Builders of battleShips and makers of armOr
plate do not like the airplane which can sink bat
tleships and make armor plate worthleSs-that in
terferes with battleship and armor plate profits.
In the United States, the prOfit-earners have
kept back the development of the bombing plane
discouraging its use against ships. In Europe,
they know better; they have stopped building
expensive battleshipS, every nation concentrating
on fighting planes, high explosive bombs, poison
gas.
Read these extracts from an article on "The
Nays Vulnerability to Air Attack" written by
an expert, C. D. Palmer:
"One advantage of high altitude bombing is the
penetration obtained for armor-piercng bombs
which would penetrate the deck armor and
plode within the ship much as armor-piercing
shell explodes
olive bombing is now the most favored form
of bombing attack The attackers arrive at
great heights and dive on their target actually
pointing their machines at it, and release their
bombs at say 1000 feet.
"There are of course the fleet fighters. A few
of our warshps carry one two machines which
are launched by catapults, but experts dis
turbed by the small number of our ships which
equipped.
"The aircraft carriers of course carry large
numbers of machines, but carriers unhandy
things and have to steam into the wind to launch
their aircraft and to allow them to land ON again
Also they are very vulnerable and welplaced
bomb the flying deck would prevent machines
from landing and taking off. If machines were
