can naval aviation is without a peer in
quality, though the quantity leaves much
to be desired Unlike the Army, which
for IS years has vacillated between air
and liquid cooled motors, the Navy has
consistently supported the former, with
the result that it has developed in the
Vought XF4U-l a heavy, long-range
fighter which has been declared by Rear
Admiral Towers. Chief of the Bureau
of Aeronautics, to be Americas fastest
airplane.
The Navy has elaborated three main
types of aircraft known as land and
pontoon planes and flying boats. The
first comprise dive bombers and pursuit
craft including an extremely fast, sea-
going fighter engined with a 2,000-
horsepower motor, which is thought to
to be naval type unmatched anywhere.
The flying boats are long-range patrol
and bombing craft. About 300 are now in
service, while 500 others remain at the
stage of being on order. A few Of those
in use, with deliveries that began last
fall, have a maximum range of 5000
miles without bomb loads, or can fly l.
900 miles with tons of explosives and
return unloaded Most of the 300 can
fly 5000 miles nonstop. or 1000 miles
with tons of bombs and back empty to
base
Though intensive efforts have been
made, the Navy during the year has
achieved only start toward its objec-
tive of $4,000 planes and 1900 pilots.
Between July /, 1910, and May l, 1s4l,
according to a statement last week by
Secretary Knox, the total of naval planes
of all types on hand increased 1904,

pose. whether for good or evil, has
strengthened in the day of battle. None
can predict with certainty how it would
be with us.
One line of argument, however, un-
fortunately tends to weaken the case
of those who urge that this country
should become a belligerent. Some
times this argument asserts that the
United States may be left friendless
and undefended in hostile world.
Sometimes it demands that we too
should get tough" and seize Dakar,
the Azores and other distant points in
order to establish an impregnable de-
fense for our way of life"
In neither case is there any pretense
of idealism or faith in the American
destiny. The argument, on the con-
tray, is in strict accord with 'the SIM
pie plan that they should take who
have the power and they should keep
who can"
That approach to the issue, 1t may
be suggested, is not going down we'll
with the American people who, what
ever their deficiencies, are neither cow
ards nor bullies.
The sense of fair play, which is deeply
revered in this country has been out
ragged by the ill-judged attempt to stifle
discussion by the specious argument that
the United States is already, in effect, at
war. Instead of eliminating criticism
tics are stimulating it. For all who know
anything of the democratic way of life
know that jealous safeguarding of mi
nority rights is the very essence of it.
And~if the minority assuming it is a
minority cannot speak out now, what
chance will it have if measures short
of war" give way to actual fighting?
There is, indeed, more than touch OF
the Nazi spirit visible in the impatience
not to say intolerance, of those who say
that this country should now throw itself
| without reserve into the military strug-
| gle against Nazism. The case is a good
one, but it is not being we'll argued
And it is not we'll argued because the
emphasis is too much on fear and or
| hate, emotions for which Americans
have never had much liking and which
| have seldom been successful in forcing
them to a great national decision.
Hope and Faith Are Guides.
It is not fear and hate. it is on the
contrary faith and hope which from the
days of the earliest settlers have beer
built into the foundations of this coun'
try. Hope and faith are the elements
from which the epic of America has beer
constructed. If they had been lacking

What's become of the war in China?
1t still goes on, near the end of its
fourth year, its total of death and human
misery still ahead of that of the newer
war in Europe and the Middle East.
Recently it has had a resurgence on
half a dozen major battlefelds, from
the great bend of the Yellow River in
the northwest to the KWangtung coast,
$500 miles to the southeast.
In each of these campaigns the armies
probably are larger than the recent
B E. F. in Greece
Many in the United States feel that
the China conflict holds as much
significance for them as that on the
other side of the world, that our chances
of getting involved in war are as large in
the Pacific as in the Atlantic or the Red
Sea. The United States is committed as
definitely to aid to China as to aid to
Britain. The three-power alliance of
Berlin in effect has made the two wars
one, so far as possible United States in
volvement is concerned.
U. s. Aid Worries japanese.
More and more the question of United
States aid to China is worrying the
japanese. They don't protest about 1t;
things have gone beyond that But they
are doing what they can short of sink
ing United States ships to keep United
States supplies from reaching Chang
Kai-shek and his armies in the interior
of China.
That explains the series of large-scale
landing expeditions along the South
China coast in recent weeks from Hang
chow Bay below Shanghai clear down to
the Hong Kong area, expeditions pri-
marily designed to cut trade routes by
which American war supplies might
enter China. Meanwhile, japanese
planes slash daily at the Burma road
at Running and Chungking.
Both combatants in China are tired.
The Chinese have no choice but to 60
on or perish. The Japanese, too, are
thoroughly sick Of it. They want TO get
their war machine unstuck from the
China quagmire in which it has been
begged these last two and half years.
In Toxic the slogan of the moment is
End the China incident'-the japanese
name for this conflict that has cost
we'll over 100000, perhaps 100000,
lives
Japan Prepares for Next Phase
Japan is preparing, half hopefully, half
fearfully, for the next phase. Her leaders
realize this may mean disaster or it may
bring greater triumphs than japanese
ever dreamed possible-until year ago.
What they fear most is entry of the
United States into the war against the
Axis-with which Japan Is allied Their
brightest hopes are based on the pos
