great armies and navies, our

MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

IN HIS speech on the 26th an
niversary of the Soviet Revo-
luton, Marshal Joseph Stain
acknowledged the contribution
TO Russian victories being made
by Allied air attacks against
the common German enemy.
Since Russian recognition of
this factor has been grudging
in the past. such acknowledge
ment by the top man helps to
put the military picture in bet
ter perspective.
Clear-cut Soviet aerial con-
troll has undoubtedly been
major element in shaping the
magnificent Russian victories.
Had the Germans been able 10
capture dominance in the skies,
the rapid advance of the Red
Army would have been impos-
sible.

"A the British grasped the de-

ticipation at that time was very
slight, as we did not really

heavy bombers until that year.
But with the growing realiza-
ton that the continent could
not be invaded until Germany
was sufficiently softened from
the air, American strategy was
revised and construction of
heavy bombers increased.
Thus the United Nations have
been taking part in the Russian
action in two ways. On the one
hand we were providing air
craft TO strengthen the aviation
umbrella over the Russian bat
tlefront without which the Ger
mans could never have been
defeated. On the other. we were
reducing Hitler's air power

industrial sources, lines of

the announcement of the finan-
ciers appointment as head of
a new agency to deal with post

Mr.. Baruch already has be-
gun his task. doubtless having
been well prepared in advance
with excellent ideas.
Congress should cooperate.
by giving close attention to the
plan which has just been laid
before the Senate by Senator
Willard f. Tydings of Mary
land. and by enacting such leg
islation as Mr.. Baruch, in his
wisdom and long experience,
may recommend.
THE appointment of Mr. Ba-
l. ruch TO his new post of re-
sponsibility was announced by
James F. Byrnes, director of
war mobilization.
But il is we'll understood that
the choice is in reality that of
the President. which certainly
does him credit.
But there is no reason why
hats should be thrown prema-
turely into the air, no excuse
for cheers until We shall learn
whether we actually are TO
have something to cheer about.
The danger is not that Mr..
Baruch. our most experienced
industrial genius in this partic-
ular field. will fail to present an
adequate and workable plan for
the transition back to the old
economy on which american
greatness has been so soundly
planted and nurtured.
