President Roosevelt has set so, 900
planes as the ultimate goal of the
American air defense effort. :
The spokesman of the aviation in
dustry laid the blame for delay, not
on the army and navy, but on the
congress, which they declared had
taken almost six weeks to put into
President Roosevelt's latest
emergency defense proposals.
Nub of the contract problem, they
declared, is the seven per cent limi-
tation on profits imposed by con
gress in a bill intended to speed up
defense works.
While congressman defended the
limitation as a necessary guarantee
against war millionaires,' industry
spokesman declared it made neces-
sary careful study Of Amortization"
schedules in all contracts.
"Amortization," means the grad
ual writing-off, in the price of
planes, of the capital investment
necessary to expand plants to meet
the needs of national defense.

WHERE HELP is NEEDED

HENRY FoRD's refusal to build ~airplane en-
gines for Great Britain has served to redirect
American attention to the question of aiding
England at all in her hour of gravest peril.
There is a strong feeling in many quarters
that America has all it can do to perfect it's
own defenses and that to provide war material
of whatever nature to England would be to
handicap our defense effort. There is, of course,
some support for this view, but those who hold
to it fail to grasp the significance of the fight
of England against the Axis powers.
The battle is not England's alone. 1t is ours
tors win out, the burden which was too heavy
for England will descend upon us. 1t is i'm
possible to believe that the conquerors Of Eu-
rope, unless they get to fighting among them.
selves, will not plot a campaign against the
American continents, as the only remaining
outpost of democracy.
A British surrender will inevitably bring
America into war with tn. totalitarian powers
OF Europe. American aid, therefore,, to the Brit
ish in their stand against HITLER and MussoL1N1
becomes a matter of self interest. A war won
IN Europe by Great Britain is our surest means
OF escaping war in America.
And surrender Of Great Britain, with her own
fleet and what she is able to salvage of the
French navy, would leave us in a deplorable
defense situation Unlss we could complete
naval strength equal to that of Germany, Italy
ana Japan, our shores would be exceedingly
Vulnerable. In battleships, cruisers, aircraft
carriers, destroyers and submarines, the Axis
powers and Japan count 637 bottoms. Against
this formidable array we now count PIG. If
we were required to face these combined sea
forces today we could muster only about a third
OF their strength. If HITLER should be victorious
over Great Britain and take over the French
and British fleets, totalitarian navies would be
recruited by ATS warships. What could we hone
to do against such a fleet, even with the biggest
navy we might build?
Whatever the United States can do to make
brltaln's victory possible is obviously a major
duty.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-30

great enough to win a victory over this dread
enemy and it's destructive ally. What his tri-
umphant armies have done to ruin Europe are
child's play in comparison with the desolatlon
that hunger and disease are to bring, II the
war continues much longer and Great Britain
falls.
The farmers of much continental Europe
have been soldering or manufacturing NUM-
tons instead of planting and making crops.
Food supplies in the conquered countries are al
ready running low. Industrialized lands, such
as Holland and Belgium, are not capable OF pro-
viding the necessities of physical life for their
peoples even in the best of times. Now they
are dependent wholly upon what food they can
obtain from the conQurors, who care little II
they starve and less if they die. France has
used up it's manpower on the battlefields of it's
PROSTATE north and the population still alive is
not capable of producing crops out of season.
Denmark's storehouses are Communicated by the
Germans. England is not able to subsist on the
yield of it's own soil. Germany, so long engaged
the pinch of the Allied blockade which Nazi vic
tories on the mainland nave not succeeded IN
breaking. Millions upon millions of people are
on short rations, which will be more and more
curtailed as time goes on.
When food is scarce and bodies lack normal
sustenance, disease finds easy entry at any do.
When the land is filled with unburied dead,
when streams are polluted with d~ecaying flesh.
and medical supplies are as lacking as food
supplies, epidemics spread like wildfire. This
is what Europe faces. This is what HITLER has
brought upon his own people and the peoples of
many other lands. This is what proves that
even he, with all his vaunted might, cannot
win.
The Red Cross is doing a noble work in re-
lieving suffering and staving off famine and
disease in conquered territory. 1t cannot hope
to save all of Europe's needy refugees. But it
is going forward with it's labor of mercy as
best it can with the funds Americans are max
ing available. Its effort will be more effective
if we sacrifice a little of our comfort and in
crease our contributions.
Wilmington has not yet topped the goal set
by Red Cross headquarters as our fair quota.
Surely we can make up the deficiency if we try.
