tunately. got scant publicity but

known as Report of the Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs,

gress. Third Session" and reads
in part;
THE United States at the
present time is not vulnerable
to direct attack by any means
whatsoever save those with
which a thoroughly modern navy
and air force can deal ade-
quately.
Air power. due TO its limited
radius of action, has not yet
