mato j., Soon he vas off again
on a most interesting exposition
concerning air-power. l tried to
keep up with him.
1t is hard for layman to assay
these enthusiasts. What they say
is always studded with figures quot
ed from official records. And they
usually can quote volumes to prove
that people who disagree with them
said the same things about Billy
Mitchelps ideas all of which have
been proved correct.
What my friend was getting at
was this: That military transport
has been woefully neglected. That
only now are we beginning to build
transport planes on a scale to meet
the demands.
Germany has 10000 transport
planes in service. We only have
five plying between China and India.
But even plane carrying 11s tons
could do the work of a hundred and
fifty trucks over the Burma road.
I had just heard the surprising
word from the lips of a Chinese
general that even before the Burma
road was destroyed, China was get
ting very little more in the way of
supplies than she is today. Why
didn't we begin plane transport
then? I thought of the couplet by
Pope:
Be not the first by whom the new is tried
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
though we had gone a long way
in transport already. Our transports
or ferries are over every continent
except Antarctica. The Pan Amer
lean Airlines, which established a
regular service across Africa, trans
porting its. own supplies and men
to equip the fields, is about to be
taken over by the army.
But, according to my friend, we
would have been much further along
if it hadn't been for Brass hats who
think only in terms of text books
that don't even contain the words
'dive-bomber,' or glider or more
than passing mention of any air
craft except balloons"

u. 5. Bond Purchases Are
Better Than Ior(edSavinqs
Federal Taxes Unable to Cover Total of
Present War Expenses; Transport
Planes Importance Growing.
By BAUKHAGE
Net0s Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N. w.,
Washington, D. c.
Washington, which never hesi-
tates more at offending the elec-
torate than in election year, today
is faced with doing that most Of
fensive thing of all-taking away the
peoples money.
The Presidents anti-inhation pro-
gram has not been carried out and
nobody dares take the first cruel
step to put it into force.
The love of money may be the
root Of all evil, but the presence Of
too much money in too many pock-
cts has become an evil, too. The
two methods of roofing out this evil
are to stop the money coming into
all these pockets and to take it away
after it gets there. / have had an
interesting glimpse into plans for
the taking away process through the
eyes Of some of the men who have
some very decided views on that
subject.
My story begins in very ornate
corner Of the Capitol building just
off the senate floor.
Senator z was opposite me. I al
ways call on him when I want an
idea in a couple of pungent para
graphs. He was once newspaper
man himself, and as timid repre-
sentative of news syndicate many
years ago I used to beard him in
his news den.
Senator" said, "what are
you going to do about taxes?"
Senator rs eyes lighted up. He
shifted his cigar. ''Baukhage," he
said and slapped my adjacent knee,
81 am not going to do anything
now. When the time comes I am
going to do a lot. Let me tell you
something. Last January Secretary
Morgenthau came and talked to
some of us. He said: I know it's
hard for you folks to vote for a
big tax bill in election year. But
it's got to be done. And I'll tell
you what 1 want. want the country
to pay for the war two-thirds Of the
way as we go. l want you men here
to make a team and agree to that.
Taxes to equal two-thirds Of ex-
penditures.
$50 we agreed. But in the five
months since then the expenditures
have increased so that the balance

American aircraft manufacturing
has increased its annual production
rate of warplanes almost 1000 per
cent in 25 months.
More military airplanes will be
built during 1912 than were manu-
factured between the time the first
military plane was delivered to the
army in 1909 and the first of the
present year.

Americans Show
They Con Do II

Nobody dislikes anything compul-
sorry more than red-blooded Ameri-
cans, but when an emergency arises,
If they feel it is a real, national
emergency, they will do what they
are told and do it willingly. Three
million men did it willingly in the
last war when they were told they
had to 60 and fight. Millions are
preparing to do it in this war.
Now saving is something that
Americans talk about but never
have done SO much about. In the
piping times of peace the insurance
agents used to tell me that 80 per
cent of the American people had no
estate at all when they died and

Has Hitler Enemies Enough?

The Nazi drive against the Red Army, apparently
aimed at the Volga river indicates that Hitler in his
quest for the oil of the Caucasus has decided to take
the long way rather than invade Turkey and make
other enemy.
The news from the battlefront is not good for
the United Nations but Hitler, in the past, never
seemed to mind another foe. He drove toward his
goals, without regard to neutras in his way.
The Turks are neutral and the Nazis seem anxious
to keep them so. Is it possible that Hitler foresees
that the Germans will have plenty to do in the future
without another enemy?

Faithful in Small Things

Duty, be it in a small matter or
great, is duty still, the command
of Heaven, the eldest voice of God;
and it is only they who are faithful
in a few things who will be faithful
over many things. Only they who
do their duty in everyday matters
will fulhll them on great occasions.

"Where Is The Navy?"

For the benefit of millions of American citizens
who have constantly asked, "Where is the Navy"
we call attention to the report of the Senate Com
mittee on Naval Affairs.
The Senators state that the Navy has been oper-
atng under extraordinary difficult conditions in all
waters and on many fronts and lacking in adequate
naval and air bases and with limited facilities When
it is practicable and advisable to reveal the truth
about American naval operations the Committee thinks
that the people Twill better understand the most trying
conditions considering the means available, under
which the Navy has operated"
The ignorance of people generally as to the naval
status in the Pacific is little short of astonishing
There are millions of Americans who still have the
impression that the United States went into the war
with a Navy nearly twice the size of the Japanese
Navy.

But this time Josie got sore; after
all, she had been a pretty good ac-

something you can't do. The last

= Our Opinion So
. Studying Initiation

President Roosevelt is making a study
of initiation. This is supposed 10 be IN
preparation for action in some form or
other, perhaps a new executive order,
perhaps recommendations to congress,
perhaps both.
With the fact-finding facilities at his
disposal. the president will not have 10
rely upon what every man knows. And
yet. We wonder what his researchers will
produce other than elaboration upon few
fundamental sets of facts?
First, the factories that used 10 make
consumer goods now are making arma-
ment and munitions and supplies for the
fighting forces. To do this. they are en-
ploying every worker they can get.
Therefore We have more money but
fewer consumer goods. This year, as
nation. We shall have close to ITO bill
lion dollars of income. but not more than
20 billion dollars worth of goods on
which to spend it.
That leaves 40 billions for savings,
including war bonds, for taxes and for
initiation. Out of that 40 billions we can
and will pay excessive prices for anything
We want and can buy, unless Leon Hender-
son can keep prices down. That will not
lead to initiation. That will be initiation.
Second, Mr.. Henderson has imposed
ceilings on almost everything. But not
on wages.
Third, prices already are very high.
Paced by the sprint in agricultural COM
modities, the most recent basic commodity
price index of the labor department shows
that prices generally have risen more than
two-thirds since August, 1889.
Fourth, the wages paid to workers
whether computed hourly, daily, weekly
or yearly-are at an all-time high. Almost
no group has failed to profit from this.
The War Labor board has set - per cent
above the level of Jan. |, 194l, as the
point at which wages are 10 be pegged.
Fifth. all these and other economic
developments are based upon efforts to
maintain the American standard of living,
and If possible to improve it. But we can't
do that until we have beaten Hitler. The
standard of living depends upon disable
goods. not on paper or metal bearing
mystic symbols imprinted by the treasury.
The goods with which to maintain our
standard of living do not exist, and can
not be manufactured so long as We are
fighting the axis.
In the words of man who should
know: Our standard of living will have
to come down." Who said that? Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
