If America wants to stay out of
war the need for an enlarged and
efficient national defense may be-
come bigger issue than the modi-
f1cation of the statute covering the
export of war supplies. Britain and
France owe their present plight to
unpreparedness. If America is not
to depend for her defense on the
British Navy or any other foreign
instrumentality in both the Atlantic
and Pacific the debate of the next
few months will decidedly turn on
the advisability of tWo-ocean Navy
and a l5000-plane air force.
