MASTER OF THE
BARBED PHRASE
In the House of Commons,
Winston Churchill is usually at
his best. He is the ablest orator
in Parliament, even If he does
commit his speeches to heart and
practice them before a mirror.
He is sharpest in unrehearsed
debate-a master of the barbed
phrase and the pungent retort.
This came to him naturally
from his youngest days. In
school, one of his teachers an
grily threw some papers on the
floor, raging:
What can one do with boys
who know absolutely nothing?"
Up piped Winston's treble:
Teach us. SIR"
1t was the same dashing impu-
dence that led him to say of
Ramsay Macdonald, when Mac
Donald was Premier: "He has
the gift of COMPRISING the larg.
est amount of words into the
smallest amount of thought"
When Stanley Baldwin was
premier, Churchill said of him,
he "had the habit of occasionally
stumbling over the truth and
then picking himself up and 60
ing on again as if nothing had
happened"
He called Prime M n ster
Chamberlain "the u n d e taker
from Birmingham"
DRAMATIC IN
HIS ORATORY
Yet it is a serious speaker,
particularly when the country is
on edge, that Winston Churchill
excels.
The effect is always dramatic.
He steps to the rostrum, slowly
chances at his notes with the grin
of q Disraeli or Gladstone, and
then goes into action. He starts
slowly, and because of this slow
ness his lisp and inability to cas-
lily pronounce the letter S be-
come apparent.

America Flying Blind" STILL STICKS TO oLD.FAsHIoNED FIGHTING
-By MAJ. ALEXANDER do sERvERsKY-

America Is flying blind." says Major Alexander P. de seversky, writing Q startling criticism of our aviation defense plans in the June issue of Coronet magazine. "Even though Hitler daily demonstrates the crucial role of aviation in mod ern warfare, America continues to subordinate It's air force to the oid- fashioned fighting methods - a, course that can lead only to humili- ation ct the hands of our enemies"
 The publi: may have been startled by recent disclosures aDout the shortcomings of American aircraft under conditions of actual warfare, but aviation people were not. They had known all along, for instance, that American pursuits had neither the armor nor the armament to match the British Hurricanes and Spitfres or the German MeSser- schmittS and Heinkels. They had known, to cite an even more strik- Ing example, that our So-called "Fly- ing Fortress" Is inadequate in de- fense. Yet the American people were lulled into thinking that our military aviation was not only on Q par with others but even betterl Even today, when at last military authorities and the public realize

 According to de seversky, who is undoubtedly one of the most bril- liant of aviation experts in the country, AmericaS failure to be pre- pared iS not due to any surprise ele- ment in Hitler's attacks. The fact Is that Hitler has not thrown into action single aircraft model or unfolded Q single principle of avia- ton warfare which had not been thoroughly familiar to our own aero- nautical experts. Our failure can be traced to basic refusal in high quarters to acknowledge the vital importance of aviation in warfare. And that, in turn, has kept Amer lean military aviation tied into an organizational set-up that prevents Its natural development.
 AmericanS--authoritics and the public alike-are still trusting to their "Maginot Line" the two oceans. Yet, says Coronet, If our country is obliged to go to war, the battle of the air will have to Dc
