PLANE TALK
BY Rowland Burnstan

The war has made great and ur- gent demands upon aeronautical science and industry for the devel- opment of fawless aircraft and their components. Under the emer- gency, the aeronautical world has complied, and the astounding de- velopments in warplanes, only par tially known today, will not be entirely (for reasons of security) disclosed until after victory has been won.
 Not all aeronautical development during the war has been limited to destruction and death-dealing de- vices. A great many of the devel- opments have been for safety and accuracy in flight and will be ap- Pljcable to peacetime aviation.
 Radar, in contrast with it's de- struction-dealing wartime role, will serve peacetime aviation as a de- tectior device for Instructions en- countered in flight during poor fy- ing conditions.
 The automatic pilot, which has as one of it's wartime jobs the re- sponsibility of keeping the aero plane on an even keel during bomb- ing operations, will be used to af- ford respite from routine piloting to peacetime aviators during mo- notonous flights.
 These and other electronic prod ucts, whether wholly or partially used in peacetime aviation, will tend to repay in a small way the unestimable destruction they help- ed cause during the war.

The Philippines, which extend

The Philippines, which extend
about LISP miles north and
south and about 688 miles east
and west. have an area almost
equal that of Great Britain. The
northern tip of the Philippines
is about 200 miles south of the
bottom of Japan.
Most of the islands comprise
less than a square mile in area
but Luzon-the largest-has
40.Sl4 square miles. about the
size of the State of Virginia.
Manila. its largest city, has more
than 100000 population, and is
ringed by former American naval
and military Notifications at
Cavite, 8 miles west of the city:
Corregidor. bastion in the mouth
of the harbor. and Olongapo, so
miles northwest.
The Philippines present a
mountainous rugged eastern coast
battered by the long swells of the
Pacific, but the west coast is
deeply indented by some of the
best harbors in the world. Ma
Mia Bay was the naval base of
the United States forces and of
the Spanish before them. Lin
gayen Gulf to the north of
Manila extends 80 miles inland
and is 20 miles across at the
entrance.
Luzon is rich in minerals, gold,
iron and chromite, an ore from
which chromium is extracted.

ture defense of the United States
and possibly the entire Western
Hemisphere believe that the only
compensation this country has a
right to expect for the enormous
sacrifices she has made must be the
establishment of a chain of naval
and air bases extending from near
the China coast to the American
shores. Some of these bases. such
as the inundated islands. will be
ours by right of conquest. Economi-
cally they are of no consequence.
Militarily they are of no use to any
of our present war associates.
Hence, nobody is likely to be-
grudge this desire of the American
people. But there are otner islands,
relatively unimportant as far as
their natural resources are con-
cerned, which are vital to the de-
fense of the Americas. The Sol
onions, the Gilberts, New Caledonia
and number of other economically
insignificant archipelagoes form the
main links of Americas chain of
defenses in the Pacific. Some of
these islands were occupied by the
in 1912 and much Ameri-
can blood has been shed for their
liberation. Others, such as New
Caledonia, unquestionably would
have fallen before Japanese aggres-
sion had American naval, air and
ground forces not been sent out
there to stop them. They belong to
our war associates, the Australians,
the New Zealanders and the French.
There is no question of laying
claim to them because we have lib
Grated them. The Government of
the United States should be willing
to pay any kind of indemnity either
in kind or in cash. 1t should be
willing to grant them all kinds of
communication facilities and rights
provided, however, they become the
advanced posts of Americas de-
fenses. Without adequate naval or
air bases in those islands Americas
position in the Pacific will remain
as vulnerable as in the past.
Because of the sensibilities of our
Allies these matters have remained
untouched. No approaches have
been made to any of the govern
ments which claim sovereignty over
these atolls or palm covered islands
with small, backward native popula-
tions. But the time will come when
the question of the safety of the
Western Hemisphere will have to be
brought to the fore and the ques-
ton of establishing strong American
posts will have to be dis
cussed with the frankness necessary
to good understanding among ma
tions which must live in close har-
mony In the near and distant future.

Empire, may give Britain naval
bases at Diego Suarez in NADIA

Positive confirmation of these re-

it seems beyond doubt that Britain

Under these circumstances, it
would be ignoring the vital national
interests of the United States if we
did not obtain full control over the
islands extending from the South
Pacific to our West Coast. No one

their rightly deserved full indie

quantities to free all these terri
tories from the japanese. But
there are number of islands ex-
tending from those which were

the future course of the French
government. Considering the length
of the preliminaries. the findings
are short and simple.
The Third Republic, says Mr.

the republic made provision for
emergency government to act in
the place of the National Assembly
If the Assembly should be illegally

cred by that provision, as the gen.
eral himself has stated. Therefore
the Third Republic is still in being,

Anna and the King of Siam

By Margaret Landon. DAY.
This is not juvenile, as its title
may suggest. It is a rewriting of
two very serious works dating from
the 1870s-"The English Governess
at the Siamese Court" and THE
Romance of the Harem." The orig
inal author was one Anna Leon
owens, a young English widow, who,
in 1862, took the improbable job of
governess to the royal Siamese
children and lived five years in the
Siamese court. spending most of her
time in the Kings harem. That she
wrote about her experiences after
she went back home was only
natural, even in day much less
given to public confession than our
own. for out Of the royal Oriental
household, untouched by modernity.
she brought wonderful tale. But her
works, though widely read in her
time, have long since been for
gotten. and. by 1914, that early pic
ture of the unreformed east was
well on its way to oblivion. 1t was
rescued by Margaret Landon, wife
of the head of the Thailand desk in
the State Department, a former
teacher and missionary to Siam and
a present resident OF Washington.
Mrs. Landon. coming on Mrs.
Leonowens' book, decided that the
works deserved modern public.
They contain historical material of
great value and they derive what is
known as readers interest" from
the innocently vivid contrast which
they offer of the east against west.
But In their original form they were
unsuited to presentday taste. So
Mrs. Landon took the meat of the
narrative and rewrote it.
Since 1t is a tale of Victorian
respectability alone in an Oriental
potentates harem. one might look
for humor in it. but the material
Is seldom light. 1t is almost always
grim and sometimes 1t is terrible.
The harem was perfect picture of
a dictator society based on class,
from the princesses down through
the ranks to the slaves, each making
irresponsible exactions from the one
below, with the King over all, the
crown of the structure the least re-
sponsible part of it. Anna, the Eng
lish gentlewoman, set her face
against injustice and cruelty and.
incredible as it may seem, achieved
the amelioration of a number of
hard fates. Her story, however,
rests for its interest almost entirely
on the fact that it is true. Were it
offered as fiction, it would be too
strange altogether.

and fought 1t out. are the Office
holders who muddled their unpre-
pared countries into war to walk
back into power over the efforts
Of those who organized resistance?
Mr.. Fernand-Laurent does not de-
fend the politicians. He admits
their cowardice and treason. He
also admits that De Gaulle stood
fighting at a time when he was
a one-man army. But in
the name of constitutionanty he
opposes the idea that the general
should hold power after peace is
attained. Not only in France is
the issue likely to be a crucial one.
