tional code of signals, would control traffic
in the air - thereby keeping the air safe
for peaceful transportation, and maintain
ing barrier to any sudden, warlike move
ment of planes such as that which hit Pearl
Harbor on December 7, l94l.
Many of the precinct headquarters, of
course, would have to be on islands; but the
flyers with whom talked consider this an
advantage: there would be less danger of
their being gobbled up by nationalistic
movements. And obviously no world police
force, whether aerial or otherwise, can sue
ceed if it plays any favorites among the
breakers of international laws.
Aix-Sea co-opexAtion
! FURTHERMORE, island bases are natural
vantage points, and would permit close CO.
operation between the air guard and such
naval units as might need to be co-ordinated
with it. As matter of fact, system of air
patrol, making use of island bases, is in
effect right now in areas under Allied domi-
nation All that would be needed would
be to extend the same pattern over ter
ritory now held by the enemy.
In the Pacific, for example. our present
patrol operates along the Western edge of
the American hemisphere from the Gala
pagos through the Hawaiians to Midway,
making use of many small islands between.
Ahead are many more islands which
would serve well: Wake Island, the Mar
shalls, Palau Nearer the Chinese coast are
Formosa and Hainan In the very midst of
the East Indies is Timor. where Holland and
Portugal. joint owners, could probably be
persuaded to permit guard station. Borneo
and New Guinea, likewise under divided
sovereignty. are perfectly situated to carry
out pattern of precinct bases which would
make it possible to cover the whole area in
comparatively short hops.
don't know how many of the flyers with
whom have discussed this plan would vol
unteer to be postwar Air Rangers. Most of
them, like most other soldiers, want to
come home But certainly we know, as
they do, that air power is the key to fast,
forceful action We and our allies have
trained lot of competent airmen for war.
Out of the millions of them, we ought to be
able to recruit fine force for the purposes
of peace.
Anyway, that is what they think. And
nobody knows better than do these fighting
men how precious peace is.
The End
