New Problems in Air Force.
B-Aerial participation. We are
Supplying planes, engines and ma
terial now. If we are to 60 farther
and supply an American air force,
new problems at once confront us.
Our squadrons could not, for OBJ
vious technical reasons, use British
and French bases even If the British
and French air forces had surplus
base facilities to spare. We should
have to construct American bases,
adapted to our material, to our
system of operation and to our ad-
ministration and supply. These
bases would have to be on English
or French territory. Either they
and the lines of communication to
them would have to be guarded by
allied troops or we should have to
send troops for the purpose.
There would assuredly, in any case,
arise knotty questions of command.
Obviously our air force in Europe
would have to be co-ordinated as to
operations, at least, with the allied
air forces. Who should say how 1t
was to be used? Who should de-
termine, for example. whether at
a given moment American squadrons
should be flung into supporting
great allied offensive against the
Westwall or used for the defense
OF London against a German aerial
counter attack? If an American
air force commander is to be. given
the power of independent decision
in such case. what real freedom
of action can he possess while the
supply and the very safety Of his
units and bases are dependent on
allied forces?
Let us not deceive ourselves about
these things; let us but review the
long struggle of Gen. Pershing in
the last war against allied at
tempts to absorb American soldiers
as requirements in allied units, to
see what would happen to an Amer.
lcan air force, without supporting
army, today. In the end we would

well to avoid taking the drst steps in
that direction. II 1t Is to our vital
interests to get in, let us get in with
our whole strength devoted toward
the single end of victory. II it Is
to our greater interest to stay out,
let us not deceive ourselves that we

war without proceeding to its end.
