AIR POWER IN THE WAR

The theory of continental isolation,' to which many Americans still cling receives another jolt in the that Douglas Aircraft Company has completed the first of its B19 bombers Here is the most formidable agency of destruction yet developed great fortress built to fly 7,750 miles nonstop-to Europe and return-with cargo of 18 tons of bombs It is visible proof that the day is rapidly approaching when nation and part of any nation will be immune from direct attack from any part of the world
 This whole question of the impact of modern air power the traditional conceptions of continental defense is analysed in an important article by Major Alexander P. de Seversky in The American Mercury. Comparisons invidious but sometimes necessary. It must be noted that Major de Seversky speaks with more authority in these matters than Colonel Lindbergh, since he is not only pilot but de- signer of aircraft not only inventor of bomb sights and builder of army pursuit planes, but a recognized authority the tactics and strategy of aerial warfare
 It is Major de Seversky's central thesis-and the B-l9 bomber comes along to illustrate his point that "isoationism" is ruled out physically by the advent of air power and the tremendous speed with which its range is being widened. To show that a European enemy of the United States coud not land armies and occupy this country mile by mile proves little The same enemy, if it succeeds in wrestling control of the skies overhead, pound the country into helpless wreckage without the need to occupy territory Should it be argued that ultimate vic- tory could not be achieved by that alone (though I believe it coud) the fact still remains that this is type of destructive fury to which nation will wish to expose itself"
 Moreover by a curious truth which is not yet widely understood, the more industrialized coun- try s the more vulnerable it is to destruction from overhead American industries, grouped in thick concentrations dependent centralized of power, make ideal targets for air attacks. The tremendous expanse of our country may give us a feeling of hugeness, but the vital centers few and extremely exposed" There is no real security for those centers in oldfashioned isolation" behind "impregnable" ramparts.

WHAT, NO DERBY?

From schoolboys in the Bronx to ranch hands on the West Coast, the Kentucky Derby is one of the top sports events of the year. But the classic horse race stirs no senti- ment in the bosom of one of the Blue Grass States leading congress sional figures, Representative An drew Jackson May, chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee.
 Several days before the race a newsman asked May, What horse are you betting on in the Derby?"
 "Derby?" exclaimed the Kentuck- ian with blank expression. What derby are you talking about?"

Berny Baruch, lunching with the President every Tuesday, dropping in to give suggestions to young Ed Stettinius, OPM Priorities chief, and needing War and Navy chiefs has been a wholesome influence around Washington Through his tips on how it was done in the last war, he has provided many short cuts.
 Regarding tanks, however, the United States is in a much better situation than was expected last year.
 With the fall of France, in which armored divisionS also played a major role, the United States found itself with exactly 460 obsolete tanks, worthless except for training pur- poses. Shortly thereafter, the Army ordered 9,200 new tanks of two types -13-ton light tanks, capable of do- ing 50 miles an hour; and 28-ton medium tanks. capable of doing 25 miles an hour over rough terrain.
 Orders for the light tanks were given to the American Car and Foundry Company at Berwick, Pa. which was already equipped for the job, and these light tanks are now nearing mass production. But to build the medium tanks it was ne- cessary to erect new factories and tool them. It was the tooling that was be far he toughest job.
 Contracts for the medium tanks were let last August to Chrysler in Detroit, the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Eddystone, Pa, and the American Locomotive Company al Schenectady, N. Y.; and the War Departments own arsenal at Rock Island, H., also participated. It was not expected to complete the new plants and get production under way until July of this year.

Jealous Wife but Good Cook
Is Lesson in Expediency
By DAMON RUNYON

HE SAID Sam followed his
- advice and the marriage be-
came a reasonably happy one,
especially after Name missed
her husband with flatiron one
day and the iron rebounded off
wall and flew back at her and
broke her right arm and left it
kinked so she was unable TO do
any more throwing, although
the accident did not. interfere
with her cooking.
They used to thank our old
man for his counsel whenever
he dropped in to visit them
which was every Monday when
Name cooked a chicken pie.
He said one OF the few cases
in which his application of ex-
pediency failed had to do with
an editorial writer, who told him
that his wife, Claire, was guilty
of the most fragrant disloyalty
to her marriage vows.
The editorial writer said
Claire did not know that he was
onto her didoes and that he had
never had the courage to speak
TO her about it but that he was
well aware that she was Juggling
it up when he was not around
and getting herself well plas-
tered and spending too much
money and otherwise miscon-
Quoting herself.
He asked our old man if he
should take it up directly with
Claire or just chuck her out of
the house and our old man said
no, it was best to consider the
matter of expediency.
LIE REMINDED the editorial
II writer that Claire was 60
ing to come into a small fortune
when her old grandfather died
and he thought there was little
sense in dismissing that lightly.
He said if the editorial writer
did not care TO openly upbraid
Claire about her misdeeds he
ought to lecture her in a round
about way in his editorials
without mentioning any names,
which the editorial writer did.
But it developed after Claire
had skipped with a livery stable
owner that she never read her
husbands editorials although
our old man said they were a
lesson TO a lot of other wives.

Hotel for Service Men

COUNCILMAN CHARLES E. DORAIS made good

owned Barum Hotel into recreatona center for service
men.
The plan should be undertaken without delay for
Detroit soon will be host to hundreds soldiers

hours relaxation from training camp routine.
Indeed Detroit is fortunate have structure which
be readily converted into useful well-located

BY equipping the upper floors the city would be able

There is other building available in the loop area

0uR old man said he thought
~ expediency played an i'm
portant part in marital relations
especially after folks had been
married some years.
He said he gave consideration
to that phase when a man or
woman came to him for advice
in time of conjugal difficulty
and that he had kept many
couples together in relatively
happy union on that account.
He said as an illustration of
what he meant he could cite the
case of a friend of his back in
our old home town of Pueblo
who had a wife by the name Of
Name TO whom he had been
married a long time and who
had developed a temper.
She would throw anything
that came in handy at her hus-
band when she got mad and she
was mad about Is per cent of
the time.
She was also inordinately jeal-
Gus and would create scenes
when her husband as much as
spoke politely to another woman.
OUR old man said this friend
~ whose name was Sam was
about 40 years old and his wife
was about the same age and
they had a nice little home well
furnished and all paid for and
Name had the reputation of be-
ing one of the finest cooks and
one of the best housekeepers in
town.
He said he never saw a woman
who could cook a better chicken
pie, and Sam was a man who
loved his victuals.
He had breakfast, dinner and
supper at home every day and
his wife personally prepared
every dish. though sometimes
after Sam had partaken of her
cuisine, she would heave the
dishes at him.
LIE TOLD our old man that
II he had about decided to get
a divorce from Name. He said
he was reaching an age where
he could not dodge dishes with
facility and that he feared that
any day platter might connect
with his head and cause him
considerable inconvenience.
Our old map listened to Sans
tale of woe and agreed that Sam
had point, but said:
Sam, you must consider the
matter of expediency in this
case. At your age and with
your looks where are you going
to find another woman in this
town who can cook like Name,
especially chicken pie?
WHERE are you going TO find
w another woman in the
world who can cook like her?
Suppose she is little hot tenn
pered and throws things? Isn't
ii better TO have a bit of temper
and good cook rather than no
temper and a bad cook?
Suppose she is a trifle jealous
and kicks up embarrassing
scenes? 1t detracts from her
desirability in the eyes of other
men.
If she was tranquil and paid
no attention when you gaze at
other women, as 1 have seen
you do. Sam, she would appeal
10 other men as the ideal wife
and one Of them would grab her
the instant you let go and you
could never replace her in your
kitchen.
Sam. our old man said, you
better stick 10 Name as a mat

Letter to
The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:


- Italy is making it clear to
people of democratic nations
that fascism is impractical
How this tax crisis which
brings discredit on the Fascist
system has been brought about
is easily discernible.
Italy's political bureaucracy
has succeeded in blanketing in
its tenure of office on what
seems TO be permanent basis.
Her citizens that are engaged
in private enterprise have man.
aged to band together into
guilds, which have been re-
established in Italy.
Those unfortunate Italian peo-
pie who for one reason or an
other have not been able to rise
to a bureaucratic or guild
status have become a class of
Italian Okies and Ankles, and
have been deprived of their right
to earn a living.
This peculiar division of the
Italian population has brought
on a tax crisis that is unique.
If the Fascist political bu-
reaucracy is given raise in
pay, members of Italy's guilds
instantly demand an increase in
wages.
If this demand is met, then
the bureaucracy clamors for an
other increase in pay.
Meeting its demand for more
money sets citizens engaged in
private enterprise clamoring for
higher pay.
This Fascist tax cycle has
made so many revolutions that
at this time if Mussolini as much
as rattles his tax AK in the eve
ming, Italy's organized BARRIERS
and her organized undertakers
raise the price of haircut, and
the price of funeral. the fol-
lowing morning.
Many American citizens have
been laughing at Mussolini, call
ing him a sawdust Caesar.
Is there any wonder that he Is
wracking his brains in a futile
effort to recall in which one of
the palaces which clutter the
hills of the Eternal City, he was
impractical enough to permit
some one to sell him his cock
eyed Fascist Utopia.
