MORE DANGEROUS

While the swiftness of travelling has
been stepped-up to degree that the peo-
Pile of the United States a century ago
would have considered fantastic, yet the
safeguards against accidents, entailing the
loss of lives, has been going on at a snail's
pace.
Before ships were equipped with wire
less communication with shore stations,
some ships, steamers as well as sailing
again. The sea swallowed up the ships and
their passengers and crews
But even with the use of radio, now
and then an airplane is swallowed up by
the sea and leaves no trace behind. Such
was the case of the DEB airiner, which
disappeared between Puerto Rico and
Miami on December %.
Captain Robert Lundquist, who had
given instructions in flying at Meacham
Field in Key West, was the pilot of the
plane. He was among the country's most
experienced flyers but experience is of no
avail when mechanism fails We look at a
plane high in the air, and it seldom occurs
to us that the lives of the persons in that
plane depend on the proper functioning of
an inanimate object.
That object, machinery, failed in Cap
tain Lundquist's plane, ana it's failing re-
suited in the deaths Of 80 persons A fail
ing motor in an automobile seldom causes
the loss of life, though stalled cars have
been demolished at railroad crossings,
causing the deaths of its occupants. The
speeding driver Of an automobile stakes
his life in his tires. A blowout, while he
drives at breakneck speed, generally in
jures or kills him. But he runs other risks,
among them collisions or skidding off the
road.
Travelling has been speeded up, but
travelling now is far more dangerous than
ever before.

ENDORSES SEPARATE AIR FORCES

The present separation of the Air
Force and Naval arm is endorsed by COM
mittee of distinguished Americans, making
a report as a subcommittee of the
(HoOver) Commission on the Reorganiza-
ton of the Executive Branch of the Gov
eminent.
Pointing out that the safest course of
action is not necessarily the cheapest, the
Committee expresses the opinion that
prudence dictates the continuing develop
ment of both the long range, land-based
bomber program of the Air Force Stra-
tegic Air Command and the camier-based
bombing tactics Of the Naval air arm. A
Committee, might imperi combat eff
cheney.
The Committee frankly takes the
position that has been advanced in these
columns for sometime saying, 1T may be
that land-based planes will sOmeday so
increase in range and power as to eimi-
nate any need for Ship-based planes. 1t
may also be that the development of long
ranged guided missiles will render all
kinds of pilotcd strategic bombers OBJ
solete. These conditions do not now exist"
Admitting that 'the form and charac-
ter" of another war are not known, the
members of the Committee concludes that
it would unsafe ito put all our eggs in
one basket" and come to the conclusion
that some duplication of effort between
Air Force and Naval power seems reason

u. s. LOSES FACE IN CHINA

With the situation in China some
what chaotic, many Americans are getting
ready to pull up stakes and leave that
country. The policy of this country in
aiding the Nationalist, militarily and
economically, has not succeeded in de-
feating the Communists but it has made
them angry, with the anger directed
against Americans.
BY contrast, the British traders are
planning to ride out the storm, according
to newspaper reporters While the Ameri-
cans were taking the lead in "helping
China" the British held their ground and
let the Americans do the work. Conse-
quently, recent anti-foreign demonstra-
tons were directed against Americans,
not British, and reporters say that stu
dents in Nationalist China, which was
helped by this country, clamOred for our
Marines to be withdrawn.
1t is perhaps natural for the Commun-
ists;m China to put out vigorous anti
American propaganda. They dislike the
use OF American aircraft and equipment
by the Nationalist troops and make much
of the bombing and machine-gunning of
defenseless villages.
