The Japanese have internal trou bles, and may need for home use nme of the flying machines that Japan is manufacturing at the rate of BOO planes every month. The Japanese prince regent, on Hr way to open the diet, passes through streets kept empty under 1 eavy guard. The police push the < row'd s hack BO yards down side streets, too far to throw bomb, or shoot with precision. The majority ( f Japanese are loyal to the imper i il family, even to the point of < eath. But it is the minority that makes trouble. The spokesman for the mikado announced that Japan’s relations with all treaty powers, including this, country, were never more friendly. We are all glad of that. We 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. Japan builds 500 air planes each month, keeping 17 fac tories busy, night and day. Ac cording to our Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, an authority on air serv ice, this government owns, in all, only 700 airplanes, big and little. And of the 700, only 20 would have any value as fighting machines. Therefore, Japan builds each month 25 times as many serviceable planes as we have altogether. And we have in America only 450 pilots that could be used for air battles, in time of war. Japan, ■ England, France, have thousands. And the postal bill, just passed, would permit the postoffice to turn over the air mail to private carriers, to be exploited on a basis of profit making, rather than of national preparation for defense. However, even if the bill does authorize that, it is not likely that, the president would permit it, and it’s certain that even our extremely dull public opinion would forbid it. Meanwhile, this nation is the joke of the world as regards preparation for modern war. And if war should come, with hundreds of foreign planes battering down our cities, and poisoning the inhabitants, there would be trouble for those respon sible. The rich, that fight taxes and yell for economy, rear 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 shame ful defeat in' war, with horrible loss of life and property, due to lack of preparation. The very rich men and corpora tions that control this nation, dic tate its candidates, and its laws should bear that in mind and not push economy too far. Shameful defeat, and many killed hurled the czar ami put Lenin in his place. Let high finance remem ber that. • It is, however, the business of Americans generally to see that this country is adequately prepared foe attack. is the common people’s busi ness to stop European interference in our affairs, cheating our idiotic public officials into destroying our battleships, then scheming to get usjinto the world court, where this country would be automatically out voted, ten to one. Write to your congressmen and your two senators, urging them to •support President Coolidge, earn estly in his determination to give this country an adequate air force. The British, creators of the superdreadnaught, rulers of the sea fon generations, are not neglecting tiu^r air fleet. They have organ ized a flying service separate and apart from army or navy control, unhampered by precedent and old fasnioned ideas. Brig. Gen. Lord Thomas, former Horizontal. 2. Cavity. • 4.

He announces that Britain is building airships big enough to car ry bodies of troops, replacing the old slow-floating troops ships. These ships, each with 5,000,000 cubic feet gas capacity, will make our Shenandoah or Los Angeles look like a tugboat, compared with a battleship. One of these big ships is built by the government, the other by private owners. They will carry troops and heavier-than-air flying machines as well, very convenient for sending fighting airplanes, with their pilots and bombs, on long trips to another continent. The ships will be put to work at once, carrying mails and passen gers from England to India and other distant parts of the 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? The flying machine was invented here, and we sit waiting for other countries to develop it, and perhaps use it against us. Why must we wait for Europe to establish a flying service across (he ocean? If our business men, that talk so much of superior private 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 u dozen dirigibles, bigger than any thing England has, each carrying its cargo of flying machines and fliers to make friendly demonstra tions in flying from the mother -hips, target practice, with imita tion bombs, against moving and stationary targets, etc. All that would be instructive, create thought in foreign countries and iiromote peare. A very rich, very fat, thoroughly unprotected grocer is a temptation to gunmen -and Uncle Ram is jUst such a grocer, at this moment. Thp editors of country news papers are the most influential men in the t'nited Rtates. Eaeh one ran influence at least, one congress man and two senators, more than half a dozen so-railed “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, as they put through the parcels post.
