How To Get Teachers

WITH MORE Americans going
to school and college this year
than ever before, educational au-
thorities call attention to the SER
ious shortage of trained teachers
which, they say, runs into the
hundreds of thousands.
The average salary for teachers
Is only $1,950, with many teachers
being employed at a salary that
IS much less than the average.
Educators say that the Federal
Government pays minimum of

al positions and L. Frazer Banks,
OF Birmingham, Alabama, says it
Is not question of whether teach
rrS are receiving as much as they
ueServe, but whether the Amer

enough salaries to get qualified
people to teach their children"

In The Air And
On The Ocean

THOSE in this country who
would allow the Army, Navy
and Air Force to gradually fall
L,,bind in technical advances and
necessary preparation for another
war will do well to note recent
utterances of Britain's Air Minis
try.
Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowd-
ing. who planned England's de-
tense measures in the 1910 air
blitz, recently wrote just how
close England came to actual in
yasion and possible capture when
he recalled, eff the fighter de-
tense had failed in the Fall of
1910, England would have been
invaded" The article went on to
point out that, contrary to pop
ular belief, the R. A. F. was SER
iously weakened after the great
daily duels in the skies in 1910
with the Luftwaffe.
Had the German Air Force been
built around the principle Of
smashing England instead of for
ground-support of armies, the Ger
mans would have probably defeat
ed the R. A. F. German pilots
in 1910 were equal to the British,
hut the Spitfre and Hurricane
had definite advantages in de-
fensive combat too telling to be
overcome by superior numbers Of
German fighters.
Perhaps the next war will find
the nations more heavily involved
in air power. In that case, the
United States should maintain an
sir defense second to none and a
similar air offense. Since this
country has the worlds most pow
erful navy and also greatest air
strength, the army must be al
lowed to sift down to a minimum
at. home. However, the army
should maintain active reservists
in large numbers and overseas
garrisons in adequate numbers
also.
Under no circumstances should
the Navy or Air Force be al
lowed to recede whatsoever from
their present-day comparative
standards. To do so in this age in
vites aggression.

! Are U. S. Airmen
Slaves?

THE AMERICAN Army will
leave no stone unturned in
its effort to investigate the report
that some of our airmen, forced
down in 1914, while flying from
India to China, are held as pris-
oners by aboriginal tribesmen in
mountainous western China.
The possibility that American
aviators have been kept in cap
tivity requires the full exertion of
this nation in the effort to rescue
the men. Americans in China,
familiar with the tribesmen and
conditions in the wild country,
say that rescue will have to be
effected by barter. They do not
consider a punitive expedition
feasible.

The Real Super-PoWer

WITH SCIENTISTS reported to
be on the trail of a new
atomic power, which they predict
will usher in the super atomic
bomb and the age of super-atomic
power, the news comes of a super
deadly poison, which is so power
full that an inch-cube size of it,
roughly an ounce, could kill every
person living in the United States
and Canada silently and swiftly.
In connection with these items,
we remember that the atom bomb
itself has not revolutionized the
processes of the earth and that
the super-poison, even if as pow
erful as described, could not be
distributed throughout the two
nations in a way to kill everybody.
1t is about time that somebody
called attention to another power
which exists in the world and ex-
ercises dominance over many hui
man beings. 1t is the power of
religion, as practised in various
forms, by the peoples of the earth.
Everywhere in the world there are
honest, sincere and kindly human
beings, determined to make the
earth a better place for better
people.
The third power, described in
the above paragraph, gets very
few headlines, but it will prove
more potent than all the explo-
sive forces released by scientists
and all the super-poisons devel-
oped by man. Despite its great
potential power and it's effect
upon individuals, this spiritual
force has been hampered by the
misguided efforts of men and
women who divide their energy
and waste their time upon nom
essentials.
1t may be, someday, men and
women of good will, throughout
the world, will have sense enough
to work together for their COM
mon good. They can whip atomic
bombs and super-poisons.

Expected War With
United States

THERE MAY be a few Ameri-
cans who still cling to the
idea that the Axis powers were
friendly to the United States.
They should take cognizance of
the facts revealed in the latest
volume of the "Nazi Conspiracy
and Aggression" series, which has
been released by the United States
Government.
This shows that in May, 1941,
the German Military, attache in
Tokyo discussed with the Japan
ese Overseas Minister "the forms
in which Japan would start hos
tilities in case of a war between
the United States and Germany"
The Japanese Minister ex-
planned that Japan would stand
by her treaty obligations but
"would not open hostilities i'm
mediately." He said that "prepar-
ations for attack on Singapore
and Manila stand" and that ia
pan would consider attacks upon
Russian ports.
Earlier, in March, in Berlin, at
a conference between the Nazi
Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and
the japanese Foreign Minister
Matsuoka, the Germans said that
maps of Singapore had been or
dered so that Hitler could advise
Japan on "the best method of at
tack against Singapore" Later,
the Japanese Minister discussed
the topic with Hitler himself.
