Gently came out with a blast
against the air power theories
held by a majority Of American
and British airmen-
Writing in the authoritative
Moscow journal, War and the
Working Class, he denounced
our reliance on air power as a
"pernicious" idea.
In support of his attack he
cited three. sets of facts in the
present war. which l shall eX-
anime below.
The first is the threadbare
one that the German luftwaffe,
in its about effort in 1910.
failed TO overcome England in
the Battle of Britain.
The Russians clearly have not
caught up with the facts.
The Battle of Britain was not
a failure but a triumph of air
power-a triumph of the Royal
Air Force in its defensive
action.
The Germans brought to bear
the wrong kind of aviation
against the wrong targets; the
defenders had an edge in both
quality and strategic ideas.

POLITICAL PARADE
By George Rothwell Brown :

THE real significance Of the
split in the ranks Of Texas
Democrats over the fourth term
issue is that il may easily re-
suit in throwing the election
into the House Of Representa-
lives.
This means that increased
Importance suddenly attaches
10 the election of a Republican
House IN November. for if that
party carries the House il can
elect a Republican for Presi-
dent, even though Mr.. Roose-
welt should poll a plurality Of
the electoral college.
This arises from the fact that
under the Constitution A pres
ident. TO be elected. must re-
ceive a MAJORITY and not
merely a PLURALITY of the
total vote cast. a requirement
which thus far has kept the
two party system alive in the
United States, while European
countries have been cursed by
the development OF the bloc"

IRON the Congressional Rec
l. ord of May 10 l take these
figures on the national debt
from George Washington to
Franklin D.. Roosevelt.
We came out of the Revolu-
tionary War with a debt of
S75.SS0.00 which meant a per
capita of 1882.
Fifty years later the national
debt had been reduced to S3.573,-
600. with a per capita of Il
cents.
The Civil War shot the debt
up so that the end of the Lincoln
administration found this coun-
try with a national debt Of ST.
677. 929. 000-the per capita was
S77.07.
For 20 years beginning with
the administration of President
Grant and continuing through
the administration of President
Harrison. debt reduction was
constant until il fell TO $751;
431. 900 in 1S93-the percapita
being S14.49.
Even a small war. like the
Spanish-American, shot the debt
up TO S1.436.7 700, 900 with a per
capita of 1898, and following 1t
for a prolonged period the debt
remained fairly stable, but as
the population increased. the
per capita was reduced. so that
by 1916 it was only Sl1.96.
THE great War l shows what
i wars do TO national debts.
Take the four years:
Gross Per
National Debt Capita
1917 2.975, $4,000 S 2S.57
1918 12.242, 62S,000 1855
1919 25.482. 034.000 240.09
1920 1927. $4,000 228.32
We came down for a while,
but not far. The lowest point
was 1880. when the debt was
S16.1S5 .30S,0 900 with a per cap
tia of S131.49.
Then we began TO shoot up
again.
This year the debt will be
S20S.2 i0. 900. 900. with a per
capita of S1.S46.60.
On June 80. 1915. the national
debt of the United States will
he al least $685. 0o. 600, 900,
with a per capita of S1.9S4.6l.
Every family Of five in this
country on that date Will have
a first lien of its productivity
of S9,923.05. Nv
A NATIONAL debt is a per-

The politician who says that
il does not count because we
owe it to ourselves is not tell
ing the truth.
We owe IL to each other per-
haps but not to ourselves, And
what we owe TO each other
must be paid.
The debt determines the
credit of the country and the
