by CONTRAST, the prevailing
~ American viewpoint is so un-
sound and stultifying-in it's relation
to AMERICAN prospects and oppor-
tunities and interests in postwar
commercial aviation - that Lord
Swinton, the British minister of civil
aviation, has said of it subtlely and
almost smugly that it is "a good
neighbor" policy
American aviation interests
would surely profit and prosper by
full utilization of all American ex-
perience and facilities in existing
fields of sea transport.
American maritime enterprises
are able and anxious to devote their
experience and facilities to such
sound and sensible, and profitable
and beneficial purpose.
PUT incomprehensibly, the Ameri-
- can government is stubbornly
and stupidity persisting in the obso-
lete and restrictive policy of PRO
HIBITING American shipping lines
from operating supplementary air
services when such a policy will
surely make British air and sea en-
terprises dominant all over the world,
and will just as surely reduce Amer
lean enterprise to impotence in the
postwar commercial skies, and on the
postwar commercial seas as well.
There is only honor and respect
in the United States for the prac.
tical concern the British government
and British aviation and shipping
interests have for the future of their
country.
But why does not the American
government have a similar concern
for our AMERICAN future, which
the American people could honor and
respect?
The United States is not being
good neighbor" in this matter, but
a SUCKER.

THE contrast between the prevail
ing viewpoint in the American
government on postwar civil aviation
policy and that of the British gov
ernment, particularly in regard to
the utilization of established ship
ping lines in conjunction with over
seas air transport, is already striking
and is becoming most painful.
The British viewpoint, as ex
pressed in the text of a white
paper" recently submitted to Parlia
ment on the proposed new air trans
port policy of Great Britain, is that
an advantageous position in the
postwar civil aviation field is deslr-
able and that the best way to get 1t
is to make full use of the nations
existing facilities and vast expert
ence in all transportation enterprises
EOR as the white paper" says:
Il Civil aviation is essentially
TRANSPORT business.
Its problems are in many Ways
analogous to those of transport by
land ond by sea.
"To make our national air serU-
ices effective, LUe must not only draLU
upon the best Of AVIATION knorOI-
edge and skill at our command, but
must also make the fullest use of the
ripe experience and rUorld-Dide or
gonizotion which has been built up
oUer many years by British enter
prise and Initiative in OTHER
FORMS of transport -.
at is therefore of the essence of
the governments plan that those in
tereSts concerned in TRANSPORT
BY SEA and by land should be
brought into real and effective
partnership with the organizations
which rOiH be responsible for trans
port by air." -
This means that British shipping
lines all over the world will supple
ment and augment their services in
the transport of passengers, cargo
and mail by surface vessels with air
craft-wherever such combination
of service will make their operations
more profitable to themselves and
more beneficial TO Great Britain.
Not only is the British govern
ment favorable to this policy, but
British aviation interests are sup.
porting it and British shipping enter
prises are both enthusiastic about it

They may go TO Munich and

plugging ahead steadily on the
ground. we should not overlook
or minimize the great tactical
contribution of the air forces.
Air power Of itself cannot win
a war, but it performs other
services without which war to-
day cannot be won.
The striking service il per-
forms in these last great tao
tical operations is the destruc-
ton of the German means Of
communications -- rail 5,
highways, bridges, viaductS, and
. canals.
The great mobility by which
the German armies were for
merly moved rapidly over great
distances, in support of one an
other, has been shattered by our
air power.
German armies can no longer
move; they must fight 1t out
where they are. Their weakest
positions must remain unsup-
ported, because reserves can no
longer be hurried to them.
THE Ruh" area itself, where
Il the Germans have probably
concentrated tn cir greatest
strength. has be I isolated by
bombing destruction
Some days ago the British
information services released a
statement by its commentators.
Brig. Gen. Horace Sewell.
1t showed how thousands of
daily sorties by British and
American air offensives had not
only cut off the Rhine from the
rest of Germany but had made
impossible for the enemy TO
shift his troops even within the
Ruhr itself
The six main commercial
routes into the Ruhr had been
blocked
One Of these. the Dortmund-
Ems canal. had been dried up
by Raj bombers.
The Hannover-MunSter route
had been smashed by the Amer
leans.
The Bielefeld viaduct of seven
spans had been destroyed by the
new ll-ton bombs of the British
Lancasters.
The entire communication Sys-
tenn Of northwestern Germany,
including the Ruhr, has been
paralyZed by bombing destruc-
tion, so that in the face OF
Marshal Montgomery's great
assault, enemy troops can be
switched nowhere.
They must fight in their
tracks, to die or 10 surrender.
Their tactical mobility is gone.
