From the vantage point of an

If the airman had been able
TO make their views manifest
and had equal responsibility and
authority TO defend their views,
they might have argued for a
different channeling of our
available resources.
Instead of $50 billions in
naval force TO escort three bill
lions in air force. they might
have urged 40 or so billions for
big land-based aviation capable
of attacking Japan proper with

Thus throughout the world

IL expected TO embrace con-
cepts and relationships abhor-
rent to the inquiring mind of an
average child"
This conclusion follows this
reasoning.
Feeble In mind are the per-
sons whose intact brains, Civ
ing the highest promise up
through childhood (as shown
by insight into school subjects
and other relationships }. have
been so systematically drugged
with the vapors of dogma, SUI
perstition and pseudo logic as

that truth becomes available

The atheistic materialistic
