AlRPOWER MUST
Be REVITALIZED
Glenn L. Martin Warns
Against Com
placency

WASHINGTON. May II - W.D -
Airplane manufacturer Glenn l.
Martin said today that U. S. air
power must be revitalized to guar
antee national security land per
haps even its hopes Of peace"
Martin said that widespread
complacency'' and overconfidence
in the ability of American industry
ito create miracles" makes for a
dangerous situation.
Martin joined other leaders OF
the aircraft industry in urging
legislation which would establish
a national aviation policy. Chair
man Owen Brewster, R.,Me., call
ed eight of the aviation leaders to
testify before a Senate Commerce
committee on aviation.
Maj. Gen. Oliver P. Echols,
president o. the Aircraft Indus
tries association of America, Inc.
asked that a firm five-year pro-
gram be established by law.
What is contemplated is merely
that the nucleus of the industry
be Weserved," he said. The need
is for a consistent and continuous
program of research, development
and manufacture"
Martin and Echols warned that
the U. S. would not again, in the
event of war, have time to de-
velop up-to-date air weapons and
craft. A program of continuing
research is necessary to avoid
jeopardizing security and to keep
the aircraft industry financially
healthy, they said.
"In the new era of science"
Martin said, cit is imperative that
we maintain nominal war strength
in peacetime."

During and after the attack, a
drill exhibition detachment Of the

If as Howard K. Jones recently

London, the trends in Europe in

his political diagnosis largely up

There, is according to this gen

swing to the right, whereas for
the past several months the swing

and communism.
But in the course of his re-

This is the tragic aspect of our
foreign relations. The nations of
Europe are quite willing to string
along with Uncle Sam and his
reputed democracy if said demo-
cracy is adequately dollarized. But
the great danger is the nations are
not converted to American demo-
cracy. They are merely interested
in extracting from us our bill
lions and then we may see the
tide of communism rise again to
even greater heights. This is a
fearful contemplation!
/ One of the greater explanations
as to why we must "dollarize" our

nations to swallow it, can be seen

Mr.. Wallace, n of the most
outspoken liberals ever to attain
such a high position in public life
has had a stormy career. He went
to Washington from the corn belt
of Iowa during the Roosevelt adj
ministration and ere long he be-
came the choice target of the re-
dictionaries. He was perfectly
honed for the New Deal. He was
a liberal who believed in putting
the spoken word into practice. His
stature and influence steadily rose
until the 1914 Democratic Ma
tional convention when machine
politics wrote him off the books as
R~oosevelts running mate despite
his overwhelming popularity with
the rank and file delegates.
