The Stricken Cities

Total war spares nothing. It
therefore is not remarkable that
whole cities in the Netherlands,
Belgium and France have been ruined
during the past fortnight. The in
vading Germans have devastated
these towns deliberately. It is part
of their policy of conquest to destroy
such places as may be the scene of
resistance. They do not apologize
for their barbaric procedure. In
stead, they appear to glory in the
efficiency with which they go about
the work of wrecking a community.
Rotterdam, for example, was. the
second largest center of population
in Holland. Three-quarters of
million people called it their home.
They kept its old traditions alive, but
they also took pride in developing
modern institutions of high social
significance-model suburbs among
the number. A breath of the sea
hung over the neighborhood. Tombs
of famous admirals were the shrines
shown to visitors at the Groote Kerk.
The new Boijmans Museum sheltered
pictures such as mariners love, souve-
Mrs of long voyages to distant lands,
artifacts brought back from strange
settlements on the far side of the
globe. A fleet of Nazi planes in ten
brief minutes laid waste an area
mile wide through the central busi-
ness district.
So, too, Louvain was blasted from
the skies. The famous library, re-
built and refurnished by Americans,

Pilots Needed

To sustain the Army Air Corps ex-
pansion program already under way,
to say nothing of the huge additional
effort which will begin if Congress
approves President Roosevelt's ma
tional defense proposals, candidates
will be needed at once for training as
pilots and ground personnel.
In view of the high standards re-
quired of appointees for combat
aviation training, many candidates
must be examined for each one ac-
cepted. Unless physically sound,
well-educated young Americans by
tens of thousands apply voluntarily
for training, the lack of recruits may
well prove to be the bottle neck" of
our whole air defense program.
Training of pilots and personnel
must begin at least a year before the
airplanes are ready and it is obvious
that if any air defense program is to
be successful, construction and train
ing must go hand in hand.
Even if the Presidents suggested
limit of 1000 new pilots is set as the
goal, at least $4,000 candidates for
training must be examined and some
$4,000 started in training to obtain
1000 graduate pilot-off1cers, in the
light of past experience.
In the proportion of ten ground men
to one pilot, some 10000 enlisted men
must be obtained and approximately
$4,000 of them trained as technicians
-airplane and engine mechanics,
radio men, armorers and the like.
The program, or even a part of the
program, represents task to try the
mettle of the American people. It
calls for great deal of voluntary
cooperation on the part of the best
young men of the Nation if it is to
be successful - and successful it
must be.

that should be adequate to avert any
Of the lost motion feared by the
advocates of expedition. One advis-
able step has been taken by the
Military and Naval Committees of
the House, with the backing of
the Civil Service Commission, in
cluding a provision in defense bills
which would permit dismissal OF
civilian employees If conditions JUS
tify, without regard to civil service
procedure. This is designed to meet
those extreme cases in which it de-
velops that the character of an
employe obviously makes unwise his
retention on important duties for
even the length of time necessary
for the preparation of written
charges and submission OF defense.

Symphony Victory

Saving the National Symphony
from oblivion is distinct tribute to
the citizens of Washington who have
contributed in recent weeks to the
necessary sustaining fund, and espe-
cially to the energetic workers who
have devoted so much time and effort
In the face of discouraging factors to
collecting money and pledges. Ger
tainly no less auspicious days could
have been found for a campaign to
support an artistic enterprise. But
this fact, now that the campaign has
practically reached it's goal, serves to
emphasize the value which the
National Capital places on its
orchestra.
1t is true the full amount sought
has not yet been reached, some IS 900
still being needed. But that is ex-
pected to be reported within few
days, making unnecessary the use of
a guarantee for a similar amount,
which was made anonymously by a
public-spirited donor.
This years campaign was unusual
In that little time was available to
prepare plans because of the late
settlement of the problem of wages.
Also the amount sought, which covers
not only the regular concert season,
but the summer series at the Water
Gate, was the largest on record.
Washington has been fortunate in
the success of its symphony, not
merely as matter of civic pride, but
as cultural element in the life of
the community which cannot be re-
placed by any other form of endeavor.
In catering to those who love beauti-
full music, and in contributing to the
building up of an appreciation of
such music among the children of
Washington, the orchestra has per-
formed a service which cannot be
measured in physical terms. It has
become part of the soul of Wash
ington.
