On Full War Basis.
The British air force went on
full war basis with remarkable speed
when hostilities were declared, and
even the training schools attained
full war strength within three days.
A month of comparative quiet in
aerial warfare has aided in a most
thorough organization of all
branches of the air service and has
also given valuable interlude for
"freShening up courses for many
men from the air force reserve.
Now hundreds of pilots, gunners
and air observers who were in train
ing before September 3 are being
graduated. Britains service flying
training schools will soon be filled
with hundreds of new candidates,
all carefully selected and the pick
of the realm.
When its first major expansion
was authorized in 1885 the total
strength of the R. A. F. was approxi-
mately 81 900 in personnel, but this
had been increased nearly four times
before the outbreak of the war. Be-
fore the 1918 armistice Britain was
averaging monthly output of 1900
pilots. Several times this number
of pilots will soon be turned out here
every month.

Philippines Profiting 9
Already on Exports
Of War Materials
BeIIieerent Nations Pour
Millions Into Islands
For Hemp and Copro
By WALTER ROBR.

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent
MANILA, P. I-Already the needs
of European belligerents have begun
pouring gold into the commodity
marts of the Philippines The islands
basking in the pax Americana are
recurrently shocked by Europe's con-
f1icts, but they can't avoid profit
from them.
World War I" gave the first i'm
petus to Americas commerce here.
World War II" follows the pattern.
In 1918, on the eve of World War
I, America sold the Philippines only
344 per cent of their imports. When
the war closed she was selling them
66 per cent of their imports. This
ground has been held; last year
America sold the islands SO per cent
Of their imports. Naturally, with
war affecting all Europe, America
will claim still larger share of the
Philippines market this year.
Before the fighting began, Philip
pine copra, one-third of the world
supply, was dull trading at $3.50 per
100 Kilograms Now 1t is active trad
ing, save that canny holders will not
sell at 81 per 100 Kilograms. ION
Evening star., 1939-10-23

Philippines products will still move
to market while ships ply the Pa
cific, and the islands will buy, at
any price. everything America has
left over from war orders.
The Philippines clamur for more
United States ships. This is said
to be their opportunity, insurance
rates favoring her as against Eu-
rope.
Already this country is preening
itself on its advance to the place
Of fifth best customer for American
manufacturers. Last year the Phil
ippines were short of seventh place
in this trade by only 100000. Ar
gentina was that much ahead when
a reviving United States overseas
commerce was totted up by the
Commerce Department.

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND
Here in this rich farming region all
is green and peaceful and the hay
has just been cut. The fields stretch
out fatty with an occasional wooded
roll to their shoulders, as in Ohio
and Illinois. You ride for miles
through narrow lanes and isolated
villages. Finally you might stum-
BILE on what seems to be a model
farm, with its shining modern build
ings we'll distributed. But these
turtle-backed structures off to the
right would hold a dozen silos-
and there are gigantic gadflies buz-
zing continually above the treelines.
Some of the gadf1ies were made
In America and have single motors.
Others are fine bi-motored British
bombers. In groups of three they
roar up into the sunshine or slip
gently in over the roofs with their
youthful occupants mentally chalk
ing up another hour or two of fly
ing time" This is one of the flying
training schools of the Royal Air
force, one of several hundred
schools which are turning out thou
sands of pilots, navigators and aerial
gunners for the war against Hitler
ism.
Many of the officers here are vet
Grams of the World War, while
others are men in their early 3Os.
All are quietly businesslike as their
blue R. A. F. uniforms are hand
some. Britain today is already grad
uating twice as many pilots as dur
Ing the period shortly before the war
and in two-thirds the length of
time. Actually only six months is
now required for a student pilot to
win his wings" in comparison with
q previous minimum of nine months
Training Divided in Three Parts.
Royal Air Force training is nor
mally divided into three parts-ele-
mentray, intermediate and ad-
vanced. Since the war initial train
ing wings have been formed to pro-
vide pupils with ground instruction.
Then they make their flying debut
IN elementary training schools and
proceed to service flying schools,
such as this, for intermediate and
advanced work
At this stage the temperament of
pupil pilots becomes determinant
factor in their future careers, for
youngsters with dash and swift CO.
ordination are allotted to the
fighter squadrons, whereas the
steady, scientific type are naturals
for the big bombers. Until Britain
went to war 13 weeks were con-
sumed in each of the three major
stages of training, but each of these
stages is now being covered in only
eight weeks of highly concentrated
work. AS result students are leav-
ing this training school, prepared
for combat flying, at the end of
four months.
This is why every hangar and
building on the outskirts of this
model village is the scene of intense
activity. In the laboratory are the
products of aerial map work and
camera gun target practice. Two
