MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

VNHIS has without doubt been

interpreted war in history--in

screen. In launching another
column OF war comment. / feel
that a few words Of explanation
are, therefore. in order.
l trust l shall not be mis-

this chore is undertaken as a

convinced that air power has
become the dominant force not
only in gaining victory but in

Under these circumstances IL
seems 10 me vital that all
Americans should understand
this new force. so that they may
make the most effective use Of
it now and later.
MODERN aviation bulks too
w large TO remain a profess
Sional secret. II is destined TO
affect the life of every indi-
vidual too deeply to be left in
confusion, distorted by igno-
rance, or buried in technical
Mumbo jumbo.
In the United States we have
the best technical basis and the
greatest creative talents for
leadership in the skies, but we
have not yet harnessed this ter
rife force. Remarkable as the
progress of our aeronautics has
been, it is the product of the
natural dynamics of aviation.
WE have nothing equivalent

"a body vested with the au-
thority TO guide the nation in

made possible by air power,
which protected our own supply
lines and cut German supply
lines, leaving Rommel high and
dry. II was air power that en-
abled US 10 build up siX-to-one
superiority IN men and machines
which made Allied success in
evitable.
THESE are only examples Of
Il how differently war events
look when viewed from the
ground upward, through the
eyes of tradition, and from the
skies downward through the
eyes of modern aviation. Ii is
supremacy important that the
American people should not be
limited in their appraisal of de-
velopments, TO a two-dimen-
sional view. Only If they are
given also the third dimension,
the aeronautical Interpretation,
can they appreciate the true re-
lations among the military
forces.
Air power will win the war
for us, even though it is still
being used fumblingly and de-
spite the fact that only a small
fraction of the full aviation
potential is as yet being ex-
plotted. And air power will also
condition the peace. 1t is
emerging as the decisive inter-
national factor, just as sea
power was in the immediate
past.
Unless these things are UNDER
stood. to the point where they
become part and parcel of every
Americans thinking, we shall
continue to make unnecessary
sacrifices of precious lives in the
war. More than that. we shall
find ourselves totally unpre-
pared for a postwar world rest
ing on new power relations.

THE BRIGHTER SIDE
By DAMON RUNYON :

IT SEEMS that the war and

have heretofore opposed the
vote for soldiers overseas, have
come around to supporting the
ballot for the boys.
There are now upwards OF
2,0O0.0O0 american men and
women in service in Europe and
the South Pacific and elsewhere
and if the war is still going on
at election time in 1914. the
Der will undoubtedly be
much greater.
Hence the service vote could
be something 10 be reckoned
with by the politicians. 1t might
even decide the issue if il hap
pens 10 be feasible TO get il
all out. In any event, il would
he an injustice 10 deny the Serv-
icemen and women the privi-
lege OF voting just because they
are serving the flag outside the
country.

the more reason TO permit them

AS one OF the results Of this
situation. Americans are getting
their information about the role
OF air power almost entirely at
second hand, filtered through
army and navy minds. Nearly
all our military interpreters
and commentators are either
soldiers and sailors themselves,
or brought up in that tradition.
Besides, they are dependent
largely on army and navy
pipelines.
II is no accident therefore

reluctance 10 concede that some
OF these have been outmoded by
scientific progress.
COME time ago a hattleShip
~ in the Pacific succeeded in
surviving a concentrated air at
tack. That episode was blown
up in press reports, magazine
pieces and a full book. II was
not explained, however, that the
ability of a battleship TO survive
is not an end in itself, when
the rest of the task force can
be easily destroyed by air
power
On the other hand. when one
OF the most modern battleships,
the Roma, was recently sunk by
a single bomb in a few minutes,
the event was virtually ignored

cabbage and beans. So j called
his attention 10 the fact that he
had engulfed quite a lot of vita
Minis in his regular meal, which
was just the way his grand
parents got theirs. And just the
way Adam and Eve GOT theirs.
When Eve ate the apple she
may have got quite dose of
sin, but she also got quite a wad
of vitamins A, r, c, and a little
b.
IN his carrots my friend got
i about 200 units of vitamin

about 10 units Of c. In his cab

ham. and nearly everything but
vitamin G in the eggs, and since
he was sitting in the sunlight
he was manufacturing vitamin
d in his skin, and so he was
practically getting everything
he needed without the $3.50

way his grandfather got vita
