Show MASS production IS THE ANSWER the statement that the next world war will be fought in the air now stands unchallenged and the country that can build the best air bombers and turn them out in the greatest number seems to be the nation likely to dictate the terms of peace or war at the present time in the opinion of experts that country is germany with italy a close second despite its impressive appropriations for armaments england is practically lost in the shuffle the united states has produced a few first class planes as fast as any in the world but more or less on a sample basis and has not set up the heavy machinery for economical mass production germany can turn out 1000 heavy four motor bombers per month and italy with the aid of german engineers is a close second russia possibly has as many or more fighting 0 planes than any other nation but according to the experts they are faulty in construction const rution and cannot endure the strain of long steep dives which is essential in military air maneuvers so there is perhaps truth in the statement attributed to charles lindbergh that germany cound outclass c england france and russia in air combat and this was evidently the deciding factor in the munich fourman four man co conference ri ference this and the insidious undercover under cover nazi spy and propaganda work that has been disclosed in this country brings us to the realization that for our own safety and prestige we must at least equal the standards achieved by the dictatorships tor ships and be prepared to defend ourselves from foreign aggression at least something that we have been inclined to scoff at up to this time in many respects the german planes are far superior to our own particularly in the matter of accessibility and mobility the four engines in a german bomber can be replaced with new ones in a matter of 40 minutes a task that requires days to accomplish with american made bombers so it is time that our american inventors and engineers began to scratch their heads if we want to preserve our national honor and freedom we have spent too much time patting our own back and blowing our own horn it is time we got down to brass tacks and proved our superiority in the mechanical world we mut must do something besides heap coals of fire on the aggressors heads if we want to preserve our national identity remember christ said cast not your jewels before swine and force is the only language that the aggressor nations comprehend we must first see that the devil is firmly bound before we decide to enter into the longed for millennium the war in china seems to have about reached its conclusion cl with another aggressor nation dictating the terms and doing the mopping up As always might makes right and japanese history will record a brilliant epoch in its national achievement gone is the opportunity which knocks at least once on a nations door for this country to have registered its impress in world affairs on the side of law and order justice and fair play or to have served notice on the gunman nations that crime does not pay might is firmly in the saddle now and the other democratic nations have signed aggression non pacts with the outlaws we left the law enforcement too long to george and he failed us now we can shift for ourselves or do like the rest of the world and begin to practice the nazi salute and learn to say heil hitler what a brilliant lot of statesmen we have in this country steer clear of european europe an entanglements entangle ments has never failed to bring applause fro from M the gallery empty heads and those statesmen adore applause less than two weeks now until the general election and politics will hold the spotlight for the next few days there is just one more opportunity for those who are not yet registered to get their names on the polling lists the date is november 1st ast the main question to be decided at this election is do you favor the new deal policies or do you wish to return to the fundamentals of rugged individualism with every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost so far as we know the opposition party has no new program to propose to meet the changing conditions dit ions but believes that the hands of time can be turned back 10 20 or 30 years and everything will be lovely again in local county affairs political names and political part parties es cut but little ice honest capable officials is the principal concern of the voters at the polls and they will vote therefore according to their best judgment |
