This Wdkl By Arthur Brisbane 500 AIRPLANES A MONTH. THE U. S. A. JOKE. FLYING SHIPS FOR TROOPS. THE COUNTRY EDITOR. The spokesman for the Mikado announces that Japan’s relations ■with all treaty powers, including this country, were never more friendly. We ore all glad of that. V/e have for Japan only the most sincere feelings of kindness and admiration. At the same time it is interest ing, and not amusing, to consider these facts: Jupari builds 500 air planes each month, keeping sev enteen factories busy night and day. According to our Brigadier General William Mitchell, a sound authority on air service, this Gov ernment owns, in all, only 700 air planes, big and little. And of the 700 only twenty would have any value as fighting machines. There fore, Japan builds each month twenty-five times as many serv iceable planes as wo have alto gether. And we have in America only 450 pilots that could be used for air battles, in time of war. Japan, England, France have thousands. The rich that light taxes and yell for economy fear one thing even more than loss of their dol lars, and that is talk of revolution. Just one thing could bring bloody revolution and uprising in this country. And that would be ♦shameful defeat in war, with hor rible loss of life and property, due to lack of preparation. The very rich men and corpora tions that control yds nation, dic tate its candidates^and its laws, should bear that in mind and not push economy too far. The British, creators of the superdreadnaught, rulers of the sea for generations, are not neg lecting their air fleet. They have organizes! a flying service separate and apart from Army and Navy control, u: 1; aupered by precedent and old-fashioned ideas. Britain is In 1 T>g air; Tips big enough to carry 1 ~Ts of troops, replacing the ei ;, slow floating troop ships. Tiu . o ships, each with five million cubic feet gas capacity, will make our Shenan doah or Los Angeles look like a tugboat compared with a battle ’ shii>. Tho ships will be put to work at once, carrying mails and passen gers from England to India and other distant parts of tho Empire. Thus they will pay their way in peace, and be ready for war when it comes. Is not this country rich and in telligent enough to meet the situa tion, and keep up with the times? Thu flying machine was invented here, and we sit waiting for other countries to develop it, and per haps use it against us. Why must we wait for Europe to establish a flying service across the ocean? If our business men, that talk so much of superior pri vate ownership, lack energy and courage to be pioneers, the United States Government should do it. Instead of merely sending out of date battleships to cruise in the Pacific, we ought to send half a doton dirigibles, bigger than any thing England has, each carrying its cargo of flying machines and fliers, to make friendly demonstra tions in flying from tho mother ships, target practice with imita tion bombs against moving and stationary targets, etc. All that would be instructive, create thought in foreign countries and promote peace. The editors of country weekly newspapers ;.ro the most influen tial men in the United States. Each one can influence at least one Congressman and two Senators, more than half a dozen so-called "big editors” could influence them. Two thousand of these editors publish this article, sending it into millions of farm houses and village homes. They should take this ques tion of air defense in hand, and put it through, ns they put through the parcels post. W rite to your Congressman and your two Senators, urging them to support President Coolidge ear nestly in his determination to give this co.;.;lry an i.;k\,UMc air force. * MT.
