IIR SUPREMACY 10
111 THE 10
Senate Committee Told of
Need of Speed in Air Craft
Construction. Department of
Aeronautics Needed.
<BV .THE UNITED PRESS)
Washington. Tlie great war rannot
possibly be won without air suprema
cy, according to Howard E. Coffin,
before a sub-committee of the senate
military affairs tommittee today.
Speaking for the uir craft produc
tion board of the Council of National
Defence Coffin declared the greatest
inspiration to American genius was to
gain supremacy in her two Inventions
—the aeroplane and the submarine.
Emphasizing the need of speed in air
craft construction Coffin read into the
records of the hearings the complete
story of the latest German raid, cabled
to this country today by Ed Keen,
United Press staff correspondent at
London.
"The fercatest service the United
States government can do," »Coffin
said, “is turn our wonderful resources
to giving the allies supremacy of the
air. |
A Definite Program.
• We have already started work on
the project. Training fields are under
construction in parts tjf the country
and others have been authorized. A
definite program for Uic construction
of hundreds and thousands of ma
chines, Its already well under way.
"This article which 1 have read from
the United Press cables is a striking
les-sol) at this time.”—
Cotfin said this < guntry was a great
"reservoir” both for men who will
make good flyers and for resources
going Into the maufneture of ma
chines.
"We can make an unlimited numh«r
of machines on a definite program." he
said "We can.U produce machines
within a short time of course—we can't
shake them off trees, but January Ist
should find us working on a great plan.
We must begin tty thorough industrial
organization We must strengthen and
build on our present foundation and
at the same time start new foundations
for more air craft Industries."
Problem for Government,
The problem confronting the gov
ernment now. Coffin said, is material,
time and organization.* And then
speaking directly on the queston of the
creation of a department of aeronautics
ltn the government, he said:
"In a cass sdeh as faces us now, it
probably would be well to -look around
and g&t the heat business management
you could to. Carry on the work of a
new industry. It Is not easy to pro
duce machines now of the quality and
quantity demanded Our part In the
struggle so far as air service Is con
cerned Is personnel and equipment.”
Coffin then spoke of the battles of
recent weeks which have served to
"rapidly develop the Importance of air
craft .”
"It' is becoming evident," hr said,
"that whatever factor aircraft may
play In the ultimate decision. neither
side c^n" possloiy win without *r su
premacy."
The Germans and allies are now
practically balanced In air service, he
said. <fi*' Germans possibly have a
slightly'superior machine but ths al
lies have unquestionably the beaf
pilot*
B. SHAW'S MESSAGE
TO RUSS FACTIONS
World’s Foremost Socialist to
Russian Radicals on the War.
BY KENNETH~W. PAYNE.
Staff Cable to The Herald.
London, England. —“lf 1 were to give
my advice to the Russian revolution
ists it would be to keep the w’ar going
at all costs! And if peace soon brings
an end to this war I would tell them
to start another war right away!”
Thus spoke George Bernard Shaw in
an interyiew today for the Herald.
The Russian socialists have repeat
edly indicated their desire to work for
peace at the earliest moment possible
without indemnities or annexations.
But Shaw, the World's greatest social
ist thinker, tolls thorn instead to keep
on‘fighting if they know what's good
for them.
“A nation like the I nited States
holds together in time of peace,” he
said-today, "because its constitution is
a going thing Russia in revolution
has thrown over the restraint of long
established government. In peace now
Russia would probably fly apart. Con
tinued carrying on of the war is the
link to hold her together.
“The man in the street hardly realiz
es the position of the successful revo
lutionists. They-are men from modest
walks of life who are suddenly thrown
into positions of. unlimited power. They
have not the restraint of past exper
ience, and all around them are tempt
ing opportunities for graft.
“To hold their position and oppor
tunities, they have lo struggle against
new groups rising from the populace
and seeking control. Some one of
these groups proves stronger than the
existing government, and so we have
the spectacle of successive groups
cuming to the top, forming pew gov
ernments, and then having their heads
| lopped off to make way for still other
i government-.
| "That i. what happened in the
French revolution. That is what we
I might call the usual course of revolu
‘ion.
But Russia has a nice war with
| Germany conveniently on her hands.
Lot the war keep up, and the Russian
i people feel that unless they go on re
sisting, the Germans are going to come
over, devastate their fields, burn their
homes, ravish their women: then you
will have the usual ehao: revolution
somewhat checked by tlv, necessity of
keeping up a central ai/nority strong
enough to wage the war successfully.
“But if the Russian, socialists now
i end the war outside their borders, they
I will simply be throwing open the door
to war within their borders. Of course
! it suits us over here for them to keep
I the war going, hut it is in their own
| interest as well. ’
The effect of the Ftussian revolution
nn America’s entrance into the war has
been widely discussed. Shaw in Ills
interview today pointed out that
America’s action had in turn affected
the Russian revolution.
"During the French revolution then*

Vacation time really depends on the children. When
they are out of school, with books closed, parents ask:
“What shall we do for the children this summer?” Soon
the rest of the community is affected with the contagion and
vacation time is really under way.
Travel is always popular. , Resorts at lake and moun
tains, forest and seashore promise rest and amusement.
Camping canoe trips, hunting, and fishing, lure those who
enjoy the strenuous life.
Whatever you enjoy don’t let false ideas of economy,
as a wartime measure of patriotism, deter you from getting
some sort of a vacation. If you have been accustomed to
a long railroad trip and feel that a Liberty bond would be
a better and more patriotic investment, that is for you to
decide. But don’t allow the change in plans to prevent
your taking that two weeks off from your office or work
bench. If you feel that the country needs your effort in
the two weeks go out in the country and help with the
harvest.
The big industrial corporations don’t release their
office forces on pay from purely altruistic motives. It’s a
part of the efficiency movement. There’s good money in
it for them. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy” is a true maxim that has lost nothing with age. Phy
sical rest is usually unimportant to the vacationeer. Men
will go out in the woods and perform feats that would
“simply kill” them in the city, and come back all the better
for it. It’s the change of occupation, the release of the mind
from its accustomed channels, the meeting with new peo
ple, and the new angle of life, that makes vacations pay.
You will find that there is more accomplishment in a
60-week year than in a 366-d*y grind.

came a time when the people might
have taken the Bourbons hack on the
throne if the Bourbons hadn’t been too
stupid to accept the changes brought
by the revolution, such as the land dis
tribution." he said. “Today we would
see the reactionaries of Europe trying
to put the Romanoffs hack on the
throne of Russia, if it weren’t for the
fact that America, has strengthened
the hands of the revolutionary leaders,
by coming into the war on the side of
the allies with insistence on the prin- ,
ciples of democracy.”
"FROM ONE SOCIALIST TO
ANOTHER.
Bernard Shaw, world’s leading
socialist, in this exclusive inter
view obtained by Kenneth Payne
for The Herald, 19 giving the ad
vice of the foremost socialist of
Britain to the ruling socialists of
Russia.
His message is more than a
simple expression of opinion' such
as any Briton or American might
make on the Russian situation. Tt
is the well-thought-out program
which Britain’s cleverest man
recommends to the Russian ruler,
Kerensky, speaking as "one social
ist to another."
