In addition, there wiH be night

"We WiH require an additional

on the national defense, delivered by
him before the Air Power League III

In this commonSense discussion,
Gen. Doolittle suggested that we do
not let ourselves be over influenced
by the fictions of H G Wells and
the fantasies of the atom bomb
alarmists
He seemed to note that a great
deal o. the current propaganda IS
prophecy regarding the unpredict

aware of the fact that we are not

the ANTICIPATED weopons of the
future to interfere tUith the establish
u1ent of sound military defense
FOR THE PRESENT"
Out of his experience in the re
cent war, Gen. Doolittle derived two
guiding principles
1-"That no operation, large or
small, can be Effectively and
efficiently carried out WITHOUT
UNITY OF COMMAND; and
O-"That no major land, sea or air
- operation can be successfully
carried out Without first NEUTRAL
IZING OR DESTROYING THE
ENEMY AIR."
AS to the elements that constitute
proper national defense under
these compelling conditions, Gen.
Doolittle was equally certain

army and an air force"
None of the three is dispensable,
but it is Gen Doollttle's S opinion that
