the present design of airplane car

However. due to the proximity of
the North Sea to land planes bases,
it is not beyond the realms of the

Planes Limitations
As Weapon Prevent
Aid 10 Poles in Air
On Other Hand, Aircraft
Intelligence Work Has
Sped Nuzis' Invasion
By DEVON FRANCIS,
Associated Press Aviation Editor.

The inherent limitation OF the air.
plane as war weapon, in spite OF
the impressive performance of Ger
man aviation units as reported in
censored dispatches from German
sources, has prevented the British
and French from helping the hard
pressed Poles in the air.
Also a factor was the evident de-
sire of the British and French high
commands to keep their warplanes
at home until they discovered which
way the wind would blow on the
question of mass bombing raids.
Like all motorized war equipment,
warplanes must have repair shops
and ready fuel supplies. Moreover
and perhaps this was the most tell
ing point-they must have airdromes
from which to operate.
Poland's Airdr0meS Ruined.
An initial objective of any warning
nations air fleet is an enemy's air
dromes. Poland had few, If any,
secret bases for its planes. From
all available accounts, the Germans
made short shrift of Polish landing
fields.
From the standpoint of straight
away flight, British and French help
for the Polish air force would have
been highly feasible. The distance
from either England or France to
interior Poland is less than 900
miles; the Anglo-French allies have
bi-motored bombing planes capable
Of much longer nonstop flights.
But once there, the supplemental
air force instantly would have been
faced with lack of protective pur-
suit planes from their own forces.
Neither British nor French pursuits
are built for the long-range fights
common in our own air corps.
Planes Sped Nazi Advance.
Before the war began the British
talked of a bomber shuttle service"
across Germany, with planes refuel-
ing and replenishing their bomb
loads in Poland in the east and in
France or England in the west.
The tactic never developed.
The results of the allies decision
not to bolster the Polish air force
can be read in the daily commu-
niques. Much of the rapid advance
of the German armies can be at
tributed to a near-perfect intelli-
gence service on Polish troop move
ments. That, in turn, has been due
almost entirely to freedom of action
by German reconnaissance planes.

trait busts impress one as her best
and strongest work.
Also at the Arts Club is an ex.
hibition of paintings by Blanche
Huntington Stanley of Gloucester,
Mass. Nearly 40 in number. they
occupy the reception and dining
rooms. A variety of subjects are
included, flowers and still life, boats
in the harbor, landscapes and trees,
old houses, city panoramas. All are
conservative in character.
Perhaps the outstanding virtue
OF this artists paintings is their
carrying quality. At distance the
various objects in a work create an
illusion of verisimilitude, which is
, surprising. as her handling is not
broad and her color schemes are
predominantly subdued. AS matter
OF fact. at close range, the colors
In many instances appear thin and
dry and their application indecisive.
OF the many flower paintings shown,
the majority have dark back
grounds; for lack of tonal contrast
the flowers seem to merge with them
in a tapestry effect. This may, of
course. have been the artists OBJ
jective, but in a few instances
where contrast is achieved. as in
THE Ten Cent Store jug" the
result Is much fresher and more
colorful.
Some Of the artists best work Is
to be found in the small paintings
of boats in the harbor, such as
"On the Ways" and Rocky Neck
There is good sense of distance
in several paintings of city streets
and vistas. seen from an elevation.

the mundane but the coarse and
vulgar and ugly to advertise it to
the world? 1t seems great shame.
Those who know California, her
magnificent coast, her mountains,
her trees and verdure, will look with
amaZement upon the scenes her
artists of today have transcribed,
such as the rear of tenement house,
the ruins of house burned down,
a graveyard, a cheap dance hall
with whirling figures, a Negro play
ground and other similar themes.
The human beings that are depicted
are furthermore of the most degen-
crate type-a type not commonly
seen in the past in America.
What strange conception these
artists must have of art! Once
upon time it was the photogra-
pliers who brought us facts, strip
ped OF imagination and beauty, but
1t is they, rather than the painters.
who now preserve for us those
things which are most levely to look
upon. Up to five years ago the art
OF California was very isolated and
individual. Not only the mountains
but the desert had hemmed it in on
the West Coast and the California
painters had found for themselves
an indigenous expression which was
very significant and very fine. In a
way it was traditional, but also it
was fresh and of our own time.
Since then the barriers have been
broken down and the disease which
Gauguin ascribed to civilization, but
which actually represented the over
ripeness of a civilization which had
broken down, has crept in, ravaging
and despoiling the fair upgrowth, as
do other blghts more easily named
and recognized, such as the Japa-
nese beetle or the pine borer. This
has come about in part by a follow
ing of strange gods, the exploitation
OF which has provided high-priced
glory for those who desired and
could afford such distinction; but
partly also it is due to the democra-
tization Of art under the w. P. A.
which has lowered standards and
offered short cuts to achievement
without regard to fitness or merit.
Europeans consider jazz, chewing
gum and Main Street" peculiarly
typical Of America and in striving
to present the typical American
scene artists have followed and are
following this lead. But the fact
is that all these things are only
typical of small part of America.
Furthermore, they are superficial
and will eventually pass-while art
which is universal is of all time.
AS q symptom, such art as is en-
compassed in this California Water
Color Clubs exhibition is alarming
When our artists lose their vision
they have no power to inspire and
