AS 1910 got underway, the
capacity of American plants were
estimated at $1,000 planes and
$4,000 motors, but new engine
plant is coming into production
in the near future. Along this
line, it seems probable that the
Army and Navy will shake up
their purchasing program to take
advantage of any improvement
or economy made available by
British and French orders.
While nothing official is avail
able, it is presumed that, in view
of the expanded production ca
pacity of American plants, there
will be some reduction in. the
number Of planes under order
for reserves. Better than have
large numbers of planes in re-
serve, it is preferred to wait be-
cause the new plant capacity
will insure rapid delivery in the
future.

ARIZONA Beer Industry
Begins 'Clean>Ub' Drive
A. Ford Jennings Is Named
Director Will Seek
To Close Dives

The $4,000,000 legal beer indus
try of Arizona has united in per-
manent "clean up or close up" pro-
gram of self-regulation to CO.
operate with law enforcement
agencies to eliminate objectionable
conditions in retail places selling
beer.
A. Ford Jennings, Phoenix bank
er and former U. S. vice-consul In
Berlin and Havana, was named
State Director of the program
when it was adopted at the organ
ization of the Brewers and Beer
Distributors Committee of Arizona
in Phoenix on Wednesday, July "a.
Mr.. Jennings resigned as assist
ant cashier of the Valley National
Bank to take over his new full-tlme
duties. He has been active in civic
affairs for many years, in the Red
Cross, the Thunderbirds of the
Chamber of Commerce, as presl-
dent of the Better Business Bureau
of Maricopa County, and as a men,
ber of the First Baptist Church.
John A. Duncan, Superintendent
of the State Department of Liquor
Licenses and Control, welcomed the
movement. He said that the in
dustry's cooperation with enforce
ment authorities should merit pub
lie commentator and support.
Mr.. Jennings was empowered by
the committee to maintain a con-
tinual check on conditions in all
beer retailing places, to warn those
retailers overlooking law infrac-
tions, and to place evidence of vio-
lations before the Department of
Liquor Licenses and Control should
the warnings 60 unheeded.
In accepting his new appoint
ment, Mr.. Jennings told the more
than 100 brewers and beer distrib-
utors at the meeting:
ave as an industry group are
bound to encourage the reputable
retailer, and to invite his aid and
cooperation. Fortunately, the rep
utable retailers of beer are the
huge majority Of licensees.
"In terms no less emphatic, we
must serve notice now that we in
tend to spare no effort to identify
and proceed against the few re-
tailers whose attempts to operate
outside the law, reflect on this legal
industry's will to conduct IT'S busi-
ness in line with public opinion"
The non-political, non-profit and
public welfare aspects of the pro-
gram were explained by T. Howard

Robert H. Elder, president of the
Arizona Brewing Co. of Phoenix,
who acted as chairman at the or.
ganization meeting in the Hotel
Westward Ho, told the group:
"This is an enterprise which
should help to save for the people
of Arizona the economic value Of
this industry in the state. 1t can
not be overlooked that legal beer
in Arizona alone has meant S6..

feat in Denmark, Holland, Belgium
and France. Above all other
things the present war emphasizes
the need for well balanced and
fully equipped naval defense teams
which takes years to build. AS
the American Legion has been cry
ing for twenty years, military
arms or equipment cannot be
bought in open market places,
they cannot be built in a hurry.
We have money enough to buy
anything that is for sale but mu-

fore we can get the military
equipment needed, even if we
ordered it tomorrow. Every day
delayed is a day lost in our pre-
paration for preparedness. We
have begun to build and see what
it took men in service to see, that
they are better prepared to pro-
tect themselves in an event of
emergency than were we twenty

Over-throwing the government of
the United States by force; or to

These facts um up to this:
We are the most favored and

handed the security of the vast
Western Hemisphere; we have in
Cured the i'll will of the totalitar-
ian powers who are fast moving
toward domination Of the remain
der of the world; we are wholly
lacking in modern equipment for
our army and have but half enough
navy to protect our shores; we
have large financed groups who
seals every opportunity to breed
discomfort and to overthrow our
democratic form of government.
Nations have tried in other ways
to save themselves but have utter
vi failed. The first lesson from
the present war in Europe is that
the people interested believe ade-
quate national defense is certain
way to invite war. Holland, Bel
gium, an d Denmark wanted
peace. they put their faith in pro-
fessed friendships only to become
vassals Of the state that promised
to protect their sovreignity. Those
in the other statds at present
bide their time when the prospects
of victory have passed without
regard to the principles involved.
What has happened in Poland,
Norway, Holland, and BELGIUM
Yesterday could happen in any
South American Republican to-
morrow, for nations that live by
the sword have peace moments
only at intervals of convenience
until reasonable prospect of sue
cess comes then they rip off the
masked pretence and begin an ag-
gressive flight. Although Germany
has had significant victories on
land, sea and in air, we must
recognize the time by all their
five-column activities before we
proclaim and set our arms and
warfares as superior. Our import
ant lesson to learn is that Ameri-
ca must unite against the "Trogan
Horse" designated in our Ameri-
can stables There should be no
stalls for such Trojan Horse"
Consider the defense from the
Trojan Horse from not arms alone
but in the hearts and homes of
the American people. The next
lesson to be learned from this war
is the necessity of a highly me-
chanized and strong forces to
solidify the initial vains of that
new and powerful weapon, the
military air plane. 1t is the pres
ence Or absence of well orynized |
and well organized and properly
equipped ground troops that ulti-
mately accounted for victory or de-
