AIR FORCE BEST
u. 5. DEFENSE,
SAYSMAAS
BY REP. MELVIN J. MASS
(R.), Of Minnesota
Member Naval Affairs COMMITTEES

Member Naval Affairs COMMITTEES
While the quality Of military
aviation in the United States il
unexcelled anywhere. the guam
tity is so limited as to make our air
defense almost impotent. Our
pilots are without equal anywhere
in the world. A very few Of our
airplanes are the most superior
fighting air machines In existence.
Unfortunately, the numbers OF
both are pitifully inadequate.
Aviation is the most effective end
by far the cheapest form Of de-
tense for the United States.
An adequate number Of modern
highly efficient airplanes, and q
corresponding number Of properly
trained pilots, with our army and
navy maintained at the proper
size and state Of readiness, would
practically eliminate any danger
Of war for us.
Insurance Against Attack
No nation would be foolhardy
enough to attempt an invasion. or
attack even, If it were well known
that we were fully capable Of re.
siSting any kind Of an attack.
A proper air force in time Of peace.
backed up by q competent army
and navy, Is the greatest guaran-
tee of our peace.
The United States spends less of
its tax dollar for defense purposes
thar any modern nation in the
world. Judged by any standard,
per capita cost, percentage Of ma
tional income, or percentage Of ma
tional wealth, we spend but q frac-
ton Of the expenditures Of other
nations for our national defense.
Only 10 to IL cents Of our tax
dollar goes for defense purposes.
other major nations spend from
As to 10 per cent Of their tax dol
lars for war preparation.
Extra Cost Small
Just a few cents more out Of
our tax dollar would give us such
an air force, of regulars and re-
serves, as would make this coun-
try impregnable.
We are never again going over.
seas to participate in foreign wars,
so we can overlook entirely any
requirements for a Navy, Army or
air force designed for such q pur-
pose.
Our present aviation Is only q
mere suggestion: hardly a shadow
Of what 1t should be. Not alone
are we deficient in planes and
pilots, but in facilities to house,
maintain and operate even the
planes we do have.
We need a number of additional
air bases, naval air shore stations,
airplane carriers and airplaue
tenders. 4
Facilities Needed Z
We need many times the pres
ent facilities and equipment for
training and maintaining a large
Army and Navy reserve.
We need to stimulate, with Gov.
eminent aid, private flying, sport
flying, and private purchase Of
airplanes.
It is essential to continue ex-
pertinent and development Of air.
ships. both for military and com.
mercial purposes. Lighter.than.
air has tremendous possibilities
in both fields.
It is high time that this country
began seriously to turn its atten.
ton to a proper development Of
air protection Of our nation.

MARTIAL LAW
INVOKED IN
J0HNST0WN
CONTINUED from Page II


ael J. Boyle had requested martial
law, declaring himself unable to
cope with an influx Of 10000
miners expected here tomorrow
for a giant rally to bolster support
for the strike.
Margiotti left Pittsburgh by
automobile for JohnStown at once
on the governors summons. He
said he will make a firSt.hand in
vestigation, and that if he finds
martial law is not needed he will
advise the governor to lift it.
Meanwhile Charles Schwab. TO-
year-old board chairman of Bethle-
hem Steel, the nations second
largest company, relaxed at his
nearby estate, at Loretto. He re-
fused to comment on the labor
situation after granting a brief
interview this morning. He said:
81 do not feel pesSimistic.
firmly believe that when the
present industrial situation is
clearing, and it will be cleared,
that the nation will advance to
greater prosperity than ever.
We have come out Of conditions
resembling the present one once
before, and l am certain that we
will come out of this one in
manner which will be Of great
benefit to ali the people"
Plant Refuses to Close
Declaration of martial law
brought new excitement to this
great steel community. The Gov
ernor acted quickly after Eugene
Grace, president Of Bethlehem
Steel, refused to accede to a re-
quest to close the plant on Sun
day in the face of the miners
rally. Grace telegraphed the Gov.
ernor that to close the plant would
deprive $4,000 employees and their
families Of their livelihood land

well be more serious than the DEM
