prove effective, but there is little
evidence that they have yet impaired
the capacity of the Nazis to carry on
the war. What is to be expected,
then, from an attack against the
United States by planes which might
be launched from a carrier? Ger
tainly the German military leaders
extremely practical men-would
hesitate to risk the loss of a carrier
in raid which could have nothing
more than a nuisance value.
AS Secretary Knox pointed out,
however, the remote possibility that
such raid may be attempted is
always present. And that being the
case, it is proper to take the neces-
sary precautions. Yet 1t may be
hoped that his expert evaluation of
the prospects of an enemy air attack
will serve to discourage those who
seem to feel that their principal
mission is to persuade the American
people that they live under the con-
slant and imminent threat of
bombardment from the air.

The Mighty Air Arm
the London Daily Express

From the London Daily Express
There is a school Of thought which
declares that bombing and air mastery
cannot alone win q war. 1t is bold
claim to make, because the most that
can be said is that no war has yet been
won by air, for the simple reason that
no one has yet tried to win it by air
power alone. Some day new genius
in war may try it and confound the
prophets. But this we can see already.
Bombing and air mastery have become
decisive factors on land and sea. i.
Every battle demonstrates Its growing
power. The air force goes ahead and
softens the army's advance. 1t spreads
its wings over the ground force and
protects it from the worst effects of
such attack as paralyzed Allied arms
in the Battle of France, in Crete, in
Malaga and of Its shores. There may
still be ups and downs of air warfare.
But we, the Allies, should not now lose
predominance in machines and pilots.
Our start Is too great for that; our re-
sources are too tremendous.

Fiqhtinq Rumor With Fact

AS Nation, we have not yet been
able to settle down to a realization
that steady does it" in fighting the
war. Curious waves of depression
and doubt are succeeded by as curl
Gus waves of high optimism and
confidence. Lieutenant General
Brehon B. Somervell seemed to be
addressing himself to this state of
mind yesterday in laying some hard
facts before the meeting of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
In New York.
Instead of there being surplus of
munitions, we are so far behind the
demand that it will be late next year
before our growing Army in the
United States is fully equipped with
basic equipment.
Instead Of huge accumulations of
stores, piled on the docks and await
ing shipment overseas, I'VE are still
not free from difficulties in provid-
ing essential cargoes for the shipping
which Is available to US"
Instead of reducing programs OF
production now, they still are in
creasing at a rate of about 500 ,000,-
600 a month. with the goal still far
ahead. Any discussion of reduced
programs pertains either to changes
in specific types of equipment or to
the future.
These facts are interesting and
help to clarity situation which has
been considerably muddled recently
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-04-28

by various types Of rumor. General
Somervell is in good position to
know, and he suggests that this
source could be "Axis-inspired
propaganda to slow up the war
effort
But there is another likely source,
which is the secrecy-necessary or
unneceSsary-surrounding details of
production and the natural tendency
OF officials to discuss production
figures, when they are discussed at
all, in the most glowing and hopeful
terms. When our authorities take
justifiable pride in reciting produc-
ton accomplishments to date, and
refrain from a like emphasis on the
inadequacies of production, it is only
natural that rumors of surplus take
precedence over rumors of shortages.
And the facts, which would eliminate
the rumors, are not always available.

Tribute to Artist Of Genius

I was pleased to read the tribute paid

welt as printed in The Star of April o.
I believe that Norman Rockwell Is
really great artist. have seen several
originals and many reproductions of his
paintings, and they all show genius. His
work needs no explanation-it explains
itself. He seems to belong to that real
istic school in which the 18th and 18th
century painters were past masters.
F. Hopkinson Smith, the prominent
New York author and illustrator, once
said to me: THE man who tries to i'm
prove on nature is a fool"
There is painting in the present
exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery which
shows white statuette of horses head,
placed upon pile of elegantly bound
volumes which rest upon a velvet table
scarf. A brass candle holder and
meerschaum pipe rest nearby. All these
upon beautiful mahogany table. There
Is a map tackled upon the wall just back
of these subjects. The whole work is
most marvelously executed. should
think 1t would be great satisfaction to
produce such work of art as that. No
one with any art sense would pass by
such painting in haste. have come
back to 1t again and again, to enjoy its
beauty and fidelity.
So far as am concerned, "modernistic"
art ca bears the same relation to real
istic art that noise does to music Noise
is not music. and when 1 hear the for
mer over the radio I shut it off as soon
as possible, for love good music too
much to listen to noise.
