We learned all about their
honor AFTER the last war.
THERE are no real reasons for
j us TO get into this war-just
excuses-just pretenses.
For a thousand years boundaries
have been moved forward in one
war abroad, and back again in
another.
Lands have been exchanged
lands made fertile with the blood
of men.-aye of women, too,
women and babes.
But no principles have been In
volved,-only ambition and passion
hatred and greed.
ME AMERICANS kept out Of
w all those foreign wars for a
century and a half.
Did we not benefit ourselves by
so doing?
Did we not fortify our de-
mocracy?
Did we not grow in usefulness
and influence, in prosperity and
happiness?
Would we not benefit ourselves
II we stayed out of this war now :
Would we not gain enormously
In strength. in husbanded re-
sources, in peaceful development
in every benefit and divine blessing
that we are now enjoying and that
we are now going TO dissipate and
lose I'm war?
Is 1T democracy to defy the will
i of our citizens:
Is it democracy to disregard the
welfare of our people?
II we go into this war is not our
democracy truly done:
And il democracy disappears
here where will II survive?
"If the salt haze lost his
sdUOur, UhereWith shall it

Suppose we win the war, which
Is entirely possible, and come
home-that which is left OF us
and come home full of wounds
and glory and shell shock-and
hobble down main street with
bands playing and flags flying.
Who will take the bows and the
bouquets and the plaudits and the
fourth term?
Who will reluctantly bury dear
democracy and speak so eloquently
over the ag-draped bier that our
eyes will be filed with tears and
our heart bowed down with tender
emotions?

the lecture room studying models
of varied German aircraft. in
which tiny lights shone, represent
ing gun positions.
One object is to familiarize the
fighter trainees with these, TO help
them avoid maneuvering into a
position where they are caught IN
the enemy gunner's- sight.
Still other trainees roared their
Martlets. Fulmars. Rocs, Gladla-
tors and other machines over the
500 acres of the shore station.
IN DUMMY ATTACKS
One section was engaged in
dummy attacks on target aircraft.
Another was doing dummy deck
landing on boards placed on the
runway and representing the deck
of an aircraft-carrier.
These trainee fighters have a
firm but fair time. and live under
pleasant conditions.
Each has a cabin-a spacious
and well-furnished bed-sitting
room with hot and cold water, ra-
diator. easy chair, polished floor.
l asked one of them to tell me
of his pilgrimage through the pre-
vious months of his training before
he came aboard. "
Here is his story as he told 1t.
"My age Is 2O-between the
minimum and maximum limits
of 10 and "a. 1 went before ala
Admiralty selection board. They
found my education up to the
required school certificate stand
ard, my physique good. and APP
proved me. 1 was a direct entry
into the service and signed on
for hostilities only.
First, 1 was sent to the shore
station known as Inns. st.
Vincent, and there spent several
weeks learning parade ground
work, seamanship, signaling,
studying general naval subjects,
and qualifying as an airmaD.
From there, I was appointed
TO an elementary training school
where 1 started flying In eIe-
mentary types of aircraft. Our
ground syllabus was similar to
that of the Raj.
ADVANCED TRAINING
81 then found myself at an
other station doing intermedi-
ate and advanced training, and
did a course at an armament
training camp.
after the advanced course l
was given my wings and re-
ceived my commission. We be-
came either midshipmen or
sub-lieutenants, or, failing to
qualify for a commission, petty
officer airmen.
"All this time we were trained
by Raj personnel, with a senior
naval officer attached to watch
our naval interests.
"After a weeks leave / spent
q fortnight at a royal naval
college, and from there on have
been under full naval admins
tration for the remainder OF my
training.
After that, as they selected
me during my intermediate
training TO be a fighter pilot.

And what next, l asked.
"Oh, IL the c. o. passes me,

for deck-landing practice, and
then / am the goods-ready to
be posted TO an Operational

sight, and threw my bombs from
the nearest possible height.
after 1 had come cut of my
dive, ! was pursued by the fire
from the light anti-aircraft guns
but succeeded In escaping IL
without q single hit. We as
sembled at once then for the
return flight TO the airdrome,
which we reached without being
molested by British fighter
planes"
Asked IL dive-bombing put
strain on him, Jacob answered:
NO, dive-bombing places no
particular physical strain on me.
l might add that the intense
cold and change of pressure
don't bother us I'm the dive

and service done by our tech

A NAVAL SHORE STATION
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND
Feb. 6.-New fighters. men and
machines. are Rowing into the
British navy's first air arm at a
rate undreamed of few months
ago. before the sailor-airnen
achieved their smashing successes
in the Mediterranean.
I have been privileged 10 see
some of these men and machines
aboard Inns. -, the ship
named shore station. somewhere IN
England. home Of the navy's fighter
training unit.
In one Of the hangers I inspected
a Martlet. service name OF the
American-built Grammar single
scatter, of the type which recently
claimed its first Junkers.
FLAME WINS PRAISE
Lovely to fly. like nearly al
the American planes, the COM
manding officer of the fighter
school told me.
Its guns are less numerous than
the Spitfire eight, but individually
more powerful. A pocket edition
fighter. which is very compact
even without folding wings.
The Martlet. like other new
types coming along. outpaces the
eight-gun Fairey Fulmar, which
only three months ago was hailed
as the navy's newest fighter. and
the Blackburn Roc which but six
months back enjoyed the same dis
tinction.
Fleet air arm fighter production
is. comparatively, now moving so
fast that when I questioned the
c. o. commanding officer) about
those latest planes of last Summer
and Autumn. he replied:
"The Fulmar's good, but look
ut IL against the newer types.
The Roc: E. Well, that's
already obsolescent"
The new mind is at work. also,
on up-to-the-minute instruction of
the trainee pilots. The c. o. HIM
self was until not long ago fight
ing over the North Sea and the
Dunkerque beaches.
OXYGEN CLIMBS
I found him watching section
OF trainees engaged In an oxygen
climb.
The pilots scared to 10000 feet
and. as the climb was steep. used
their apparatus from the time they
left the ground. For normal climbs
they employ 1t when over $1,000
feet. or 10000 if the flight lasts
more than an hour.
A pilot who fortunately escaped
an almost complete oxygen black
out" explained his sensations TO
me:
ct suddenly felt as II I was
suffering from drunkenness. My
reactions were slowed up, as in
sufficiency OF oxygen had pro-
duced inaction of nerve and
brain centers.
apparently the oxygen fall
ure was only temporary. Other
wise I should not have been
aware of any change and should
have passed out without warn
ing.
az was at q great height, and
ut once held my breath and lost
height quickly. Every second
thought I might have to make a
parachute descent, holding my
breath as I pulled the rip clear
of the aircraft, but happily 1
made a safe landing without this
being necessary.

the cockpit. Anybody might
have mistaken me for q drunken
rs well as a lucky man.
Next / witnessed a dog fight
with movie-camera guns.

pressed the button which in actual
