In this organization. World War No is linked to
World War No through the American Legion and the

When the necessity arose last year of quickly putting
thousands of combat planes in the air. shortage
Immediately appeared.
This shortage of available personnel of course
enormously intensified by events since December Z.
IN THE basis of last years experience recruiting for

only Is out of every 100 applicants fully qualified
to become pilots
But was also found that ma jority of the dsabi-

be corrected.
Accordingly at the suggestion of Major General
Arnold chief of the army air corps the Avators Post Of
the American Legion established the American Flying
Service Foundation to provide the medical assistance that
would enable thousands of loyal young Americans to
over their handcaps and obtain their wings.
Within only eight months $40 previously rejected
boys "rehablitaed' and put into army navy
training pilots
Out of total of 5000 who have asked for help of
kind another 1000 applicants have been aided in
some material way-makng total of 2,570 who would
have been lost to the air services and who would have
been denied their patriotic aspiration without the founda

TODAY with tens of thousands of pilots desperately
needed the foundations work extends the

Flight boards of both the army and the navy now

WHETHER Congress alone.
w without constitutional
amendment. has the power to
stop this congressional BULLDOG
ing has been moot question for
years.
Well. it would be almost I'M
heard of if Congress should ever
rise TO a great "self-Sacrificing"
patriotic act above picayune
politics. .
In almost all appropriation
bills there are buried endless
pork-barrel' and "pie-counter"
itemS-nothing but clean Swipes
out of the treasury by congress-
men who want the taxpayers to
fix up their fences" back home
by paying for new federal public
works in Screwball Centre, Kan,
wei say.
Millions are squandered every
year in this way. and the Presi-
dent can do nothing about it
without affiXing his veto to al
most all the appropriation bills
that come out of the Capitol.
If my memory does not fail
me, that's the way the pension
grab was put over-as an item"
in an appropriation bill.
Isn't il about time-haven't
we become old enough as a de-
mocrGcy-that this legislation
by shotgun bills was stopped by
public sentiment and, if possible,
by Congress itself?

TO THE EDITOR:


YOUR good editorial, do Your
Il Best" reminds us more and
more that we are asked and de-
manded by the government TO
sacrifice in almost every way, to
give up necessities.
In the March "a issue of the
Times. an article told of the
general Frightening up of the
governors office at the small
sum of $500; three light fix
lures at $3.50 each and so forth.
How does the government ex-
pect the average wage earners to
feel when we save our pennies
and nickels for defense stamps
and bonds when they can spend
a few thousand for such an UNI
important job.
II the government would be
willing to sacrifice a little they
would find us more than willing
to do our part.

"A tin Treptow, fell at Chateau
Thierry in 1918. Martin kept a
diary. In this diary, found on
his body, was this entry:
america must win this war.
Therefore, will work; will
save; 1 will sacrifice: 1 will en-
dure; ! will fight cheerfully and
do my utmost, as III the whole
struggle depended on me alone"
The last nine words Of the
above strike me as being more
potent aid to victory than Re
member Pearl Harbor."
If every American, whether in
the service, doing civilian duty
or supporting the country
through the purchase of defense
bonds and stamps, were to act
and think "as if the whole Strug-
gle depended on me alone" there
would be no question about the
final, decisive and quick ami
hilation of both Nazi Germany
and honorable Japan.
Martin Treptow had reached,
whether he knew it or not, the
very peak of AmericaniSm.
Americanism in its fundamen-
tai and its essential nature is
individualism.
II is each one Of us ION his
own" 1t is each one of us as a
single responsible unit of value.
Martin Treptow thus conceived
himself.
LIE HAD resolved TO do what
H he had to do as if no other
American existed as if there
were no generals, captains or
colonies.
He, Martin Treptow. would,
like new ST. George. alone slay
the dragon of German mill
tariSm.
That's the spirit, that's the
soul of free man-of the ul-
innate American: self-reliance,
me alonei"
How many Martin Treptows
are there in the United States
now--men and women who are
giving, without thought of what
any one else is giving. every
ounce of their being to the win
ming of this war?
Capt. Colin Kelly and General
Macarthur are glorious disciples
of Martin Treptow. One fought
and the other is fighting as if
they alone are going to lick
Japan!
OF such is the kingdom of
freedom,
OF such is the valhalla of VIC
tory!
ONE of the most dishonest Gus
