The war is on our threshold. II
put its fO9t in the door at Green
land; from the Dutch Indies, East
and West, it may walk in on US.
Air power, which mace tIose things
even possible, may make them real.
That Is the picture we are facing
today
This is no scare story. It is an
effort to help every American do
what he wants to do-be a hard
boiled Yankee realist about one of
the most serious situations his
country ever has faced.
Such an effort forces itself upon
one of those whose job it has been
to analyze this war and our rela-
tionShip to 1t. Ny analysis comes
after consultation with officers and
civilians informed about our na-
tional defense. 1t has also been con-
ditiOned by personal experience OF
the last War and hope never to see
this country in another.
In that same hope. the American
people have thought. as aggressive
arson dropped sparks about them
that they were getting ample fire
insurance. What they were getting
was Il thousand-do policy To CO.
yer a million dollar concern.
L. S. NEEDS STRONG
ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE
This concern needs for protection

The last two are relatively stronger
than the first. But the air power

227000 not only to the 100000 au-
thorized by law. but to 100000 or
more; the National Guard from
235000 to 100000, perhaps even the
legal maximum, 100000.
That combined force, with re-
serves, could be expanded quickly
to million men. AND THAT
WOULD BE A SMALL ARMY
NOT A LARGE ONE. It would
take all of a million men-prob-
ably more-to defend this country
and its outposts, against modern
attack
Even our present force of half
that number lacks equipment. The
shortage of ammunition is most
critical, We lack also enough Of
various arms; trucks, automobiles;
uniforms. blankets, shoes, even med
ical supplies. For all this the War
! Department needs $52800O,000, and
! il Congress gave that sum tomorrow,
more without a stupendOuS effort.
CAPITAL, LABOR
SHOULD HELP
For such an effort capital and
labor may yet be called upon. Man.
ufacturers who have objected to tax
ing defense educational orders"
must cease these objections in the
national interest, and their own.
For the same reason there must
be an end of those labor troubles
such aa delayed Frances war prep
arations, especially in aircraft. Short
working hours may turn out TO
have lost the war for France. We
can lose our peace if our arming
is too much delayed by failure to
adjust the Wages-hours act to cri-
sis conditions. especially when we
have 4 shortage of skilled Workmen.
