Both sound policy and public opinion
support the agreement of the American
Army and Navy to permit Allied pur
chase OF iatest-model arplanes. From
the standpoint Of developing tie airplane
industry. reducing costs TO the United
States government. and testing military
models. this transaction presents an un
cNamilrd opportunity.
The sudden and gigantic expansion of
the United States air forces proposed
last year threatened to saddle the Army
and Navy with large number OF planes
built within d short time-,lnd due to be
come ohSolesrcn, in a short time and at
the same time. Since America does not
intend to 90 to War in the next few
