interests and ac-Maj. G. Fielding Eliot
tivities are primarily maritime, and
illustrated for us by the military
history of Great Britain during the
past two centuries.
AS we consider present require
ments and future possibilities, what
missions may we conceive Of our
Army being required to execute?
We think of the defense of our
outlying bases and our vital position
at Panama. This mission demands
harbor defense and anti-aircraft ar
tillery, supported by comparatively
small forces of mobile troops
needs Of each locality, but main
tained at necessary strength in
each case and with complete equip
ment to deal with any possible
threat. These in turn must be
supported by an air force with
sufficient local strength in each case
to meet the scale of attack con-
sidered probable, and capable OF
being reinforced from the great
central base (the continental United
StateS) within a comparatively short
time Such a system of defended
bases gives flexibility, freedom OF
action, radius of action for our fleet
and for the concentrated airpower
of our General Headquarters Air
Force.
Must Prepare Against Raids.
Behind this must be a similar sys-
tenn of home bases, organized and
defended SO that none of them can
be carried by any sudden raid, and
with the protection of our coastal
cities and points of vital importance
near the coast kept in mind as re-
CARDS not a full dress air attack
but raid from enemy carriers or
from a small air base hastily estab-
liShed by surprise. The communica-
tions between the home bases and
the outlying bases must be secured
by a combination of air and naval
power: Even in the absence of the
chief elements of the fleet, there
ought to be local naval forces (sub-
marines, minelayers, patrol craft
and the like sufficient to exercise
influence over such waters as the
eastern entrances to the Caribbean
Sea, operating in conjunction with
naval and land base aircraft.
Behind these again will be the
main striking forces-the mobile
troops of the home Army and the
General Headquarters Air Force
The former should be organized
largely on an expeditionary basis
It's mission in support of the feet
requires ability to move swiftly
either to occupy an outlying posi-
ton necessary for the control of
sea communications (such as the
Azores. for example) or to prevent
acquisition by hostile power of a
position threatening our sea or air
dominance in some vital locality
For example, in threatened South
American state, considering the fact
that we are unlikely to be brought
into direct contact in the execution
of such missions with the full mill
tary power of any large foreign
state, and considering further the
urgent demands made upon troops
by expeditionary missions Of this
type, it is obvious that here also
we require quality rather than
quantity.
Distinction may well be made be-
tween small-scale operations Of the
advance-base type, which are the
historical task of the Marine Corps,
and the larger-scale operations
which would require the use Of
large forces of troops. Working in
close cooperation with the ground
troops must be the air troops Of the

Art Treasures of France
All Are Safely Stored

VICHY.-France's great museum
collections, chiefly the priceless her
itage of centuries of royal and i'm
perial collections, have survived the
war in perfect condition and the
hidden art treasures are not dam
aged by their transport or storage.
M. Jauiard, director of national mu-
seums, visited the hideouts and in
spected the paintings to ascertain
the extent Of possible damage. He
reported that none of the paintings,
tapestries or sculpture suffered.
Months before the blitzkrieg,
France emptied the museums, GRAFT
ing the statuary and rolling the
paintings that were too big to be
carried in their frames. They were
removed into the central highlands,
where some were buried in concrete
underground vaults safe from
bombs. Part of the collection had
been hidden in the Loire valley, ne
cessitating a second hasty flight
when the German army entered
Touraine.

What's the Matter With Our
School Spirit?

Is the school spirit of Smyrna
High getting less as the years go
by? That is the question that Is
being asked over and over again.
Why is it that all the students
seem to be Indifferent to what goes
on in our school? Should the
blame be laid entirely on the stu
dents? It should not.
I fully believe that if there was
a little more cooperation between
both the teachers and the pupils
things would be different.
The students should show re-
spect for their teachers, but can
they if the teachers show none for
them?
Instead of working for the high
est level the students seem, today,
to be content to get by; as the
saying goes, by the skin of their
teeth" Why is this true? Maybe
you can answer the question, we
can't.
The problem is left up to you,
the student body of John Bassett
Moore High School. See what you
can do about it.
