BY BLAIR MOODY.

Air power, greatest revolution In
methods Of warfare since the inven-
ton Of gunpowder, has already won
three wars without firing shot. BY
threat Of its mere existence 1t wiped
out the nations Of Austria and
Czecho- -Slovakia and affixed Memel
to Germany. 1t has proved the most
potent background for international
blackmail ever conceived.
If the United States is ever invad-
ed with any degree Of success, the
invader will be superior In the air.
1t was Germany's superiority in the
air which forced the Munich agree
ment, and later gave Hitler conf
dence till the last that the democ-
racies would fear to oppose him in
Poland. A year ago, despite Brit
aims navy and Frances army, they
would have feared to-because the
Nazi lighting planes and bombers
outclassed theirs.
The job of the Army Air Corps Is
to defend the United States. It has
no plans and Is not set up with the
type Of equipment which would be
necessary for an expeditionary force
abroad. But 1t must be prepared to
bomb and prepare the way for
ground troops to drive out any
transoceanic power that seeks to
establish base on this continent,
the West Indies or South America.
5000 Planes Minimum.
1t is not yet ready to do that
job. but it is getting there. Con-
gress has been quicker to grasp our
defense deficiencies in the air than
In other less dramatic fields. Money
has been appropriated to bring our
Army air fleet to $500 planes,
which is virtually sure to be raised
to 5000 whenever more defense
money is voted.
These 5000 planes represent what
the Army general staff has decided
is our minimum for safety" The
planes we have and those now being
delivered are, type for type and plane
for plane, the best In the world.
When we get the quantity now in
prospect, particularly If the present
three-year delivery schedule laid out
by Congress is shortened to one or
two years. not even the Nazi air
force would dare challenge us.
Our big bombers are the largest
and most powerful in the world.
They have four 10O0-h.p. engines,
wing spread of $50 feet, a weight
of 30 tons and complete living quar-
ters for crew of II men. They
carry bombs as large as 1000 pounds,
and have passed worlds record tests
lifting more than $1,000 pounds OF
pay load" higher than $500 feet.
Trans-Atlantic Problem.
These bombers have carried 400
pounds more than 3,l00 miles, an
other worlds record. A few months
ago one Of them carried 5000
pounds Of vaccines to stricken earth
quake sufferers in Santiago, Chile
about 5000 miles. in a flying time
Of 20 hours and So minutes. High
War Department of1cials were con-
sidering flying a flotilla across the
Atlantic a few weeks ago just to
show the Europeans what we could
do. Outbreak Of war Cancelled the
tentative plan.
That does not mean we could bonn
bard European cities and return, or
that their planes could bomb US. In
a transatlantic flight most of the
dead weight would be gasoline.
European bombers, tuned to their
continental problem, do not have the
range of our big ones. On the day

any aggressor starts building them,
We should beware.
The long range, great power and
terrific striking force of our bomb
ers mean that, II we get enough Of
them, they will be sufncient to bomb
out Of existence any air base that
can be established on this side of
the ocean within striking distance.
Our plans for countering invasion on
the Atlantic side are centered on
the 1ndies-Caribbean area. With
out two-ocean Navy, main reliance
to keep an invader off would have
to be placed in our planes and the
ability Of ground mobile force to
move into and hold any base the
invader sought to establish. If our
bombers and troops can thus keep
the hemisphere free of hostile bases,
we have no cause to fear attack by
air except q surprise swoop from
airplane carriers which might inflict
damage on New York and other
coastal cities.
$50 Flying Fortresses.'
Wnen the program Is complete
we'll have around 1S0 flying fort
resses" and approximately 400 me
dium" bombers which In range and
striking power compare with the
best In Europe. The rest OF the
corps includes small attack bomb
ers, which act as the air striking
arms OF the infantry; lightning fast
pursuit ships, observation and train
ing planes and combat planes held
in reserve.
AS we excel in quality of bombing
attackers and have a bomb sight to
obtain accurate hits" that is the
envy OF every air force in the world,
we also lead the world in speed and
efficiency Of fighting planes. Our
latest pursuit interceptors have re-
portedly been clocked at upwards
OF 40 m. p. h. and Army and civil
ian engineers now have 500 m. o. h.
as their goal.
The utility Of an air force is lin
lted by three factors-bases, pilots

The indians Got Him

Cardinal Mezzofanti, librarian OF
the Vatican century ago, spoke
so languages and knew all their
idioms and dialects. BY some Pc
culiar method of his own he could
acquire new language in a few
weeks and never forgot what he
had once learned. When two In
dians from California came to the
College Of the Propaganda to study
for the priesthood Cardinal Mezzo-
fanti rushed to meet them with
delight, for theirs was the one
language he did not know. But just
when he had mastered this par
ticular Indian language he died
absorbed to the last minute in the
study Of its construction and idiom.

Rock Island
R.R. Would Stop
Mitcheu's Move

Washington (CNA)-An effort
is being made by the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway to pre-
vent the "race discrimination" case
brought against it by Congressman
Mitchell of Illinois from ever COM
ing to a hearing.
In a communication to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, rail-
road attorneys asked that the case
not be considered, as requested by
Mitchell. They characterized the
Congressman's petition as ian eff
fort to dramatic an adventurous
incident into an epochal spectacle. "
Mitchell's complaint was dis
missed some time ago by the ICC
and he petitioned for reconsidera-
ton. The complaint grew out of
the jimcrowing of the Congress
man during a trip he made to Hot
Springs, Ark. After the train en-
tered Arkansas, Mitchell was made
to leave a Pullman and ride in a
Jim Crow coach.
Mitchell commended that he paid
for first class service as an inter
state passenger from Chicago to
Hot Springs, but received second
class accommodations for part of
the journey. White passengers on
the same train received first-class
services for the entire trip, he
pointed out.

which makes American tories fight
SO hard for Estates rights" "local
self-government," plant police"
plantation police" the right to be
'let alone" in business. Back of
it all is the Negro, he says, either
as fact or a symbol.
GAS in almost every other south
ern Question" he says, "the Negro
was a long black shadow"
Not content with an exposition
of the problems affecting the South
and its relationship with the rest
of the country, the former South
ern congressman, who is now run
ming for Mayor of San Antonio,
Texas, gives his Interpretation of
way out.
Eyes. The South may rise, but
if that is to be done, let US leave
the magnolia blossoms on the trees,
and use the brains in our heads for
thinking, rather than for emotions
and escape completes. Let US say
the condition of the South was
forced upon US by the slave ship
pers of New England, and that New
England stole the slaves away; let
us lay it on those who destroyed us
in the Civil War, and then kicked
US down under the heel of Eastern
exploitation. But let US agree that
this is merely history, and solves
nothing for the future. Let us re-
solve that from here on out we are
determined to free ourselves. If
we do not, this time it will be our
