In 30 weeks time Uncle Sam tak i:s youn,c:: men between 20 and 27 yea rs of age- man y o f whom never have ridden in an a irp lane-and transforms them into full -fledged pilots.
Al so during those 30 weeks o f 1raining, each pilot-to-be spends 205 hours :d ofr . H e receives 70 hours, including mucii rime at night flyin,.; and under the instrument hood, at Randolph field where more than 350 p lanes spend 28,000 hou rs a lo ft each month.
For those studen1s not specific:tl ly qua lified for pilot ing p lanes, an innovation in the general Air Corps train ing program is avai lable. Each c:ilenda: year, 3,600 aerial navigators and bomba rdiers arc being turned o ut. D u ring their train ing they will receive the same pay as Flying Cadets

" LET"S STOP TO ANALYS E" T he passage of the Lend.Lease bill has placed the United States definitely in the
wa r. Our ' 'a ll a id short of war" policy has Orought us to the brink o f the very thing we have tried to avo id. The nation has taken upo n itself to desuoy Hitlerism and cver)•thing it stand s for. le has pledged itself to provide a bread basket for the allied countries at the sacrifice of its citizens. Following a re excerpts from recent newspaper articJes wriuen by nationa lly known men. They lend cautio n to rhe course o ur country is taking in wo rld developments, and present the problem in the light o f harsh realism.
SENATOR ROBERT M. LAFOLLETTE SA YS: "Social and economic reformers who see in our defense program a chance to
solve the domestic problems which eight years of the New Deal failed to achieve will have a bitter awakening when the cri sis is passed and post·war adjustment comes-perhaps even before that time ir the pinch of priorities and radon in industry strikes closer than aluminum pots and pans, the production o f which has already Ueen termina ted by government decree.
" It is true that much of the defense program is supplementing reg ular industria l activity and taking up some or the slack that exis ted before. But it is a sad ,ommentary o n democracy at work in America tha t only during exigencies o f war activity do we approach the maximum utiliza tion o f our plane capacities. Idle plant and human capacity in the las t decade was ted wealth equivalent to a S5,000 house and S l ,000 automobile fo r every family in the United States.
"Some people speak glibly or their willingness to spend any d ollar amount to Uuy defense. T hese people have neither a concept o r the magnitude o f billions of ~~~!:? no r an unders tanding or the fan that appropria tio ns mean. taxes and more
"Consider for a moment a few comparisons to illustrate the magnitude of sums or money necessary fo r defense. The Congress is now considering the appropria tion bi ~I for the so-calle~ !end.Jease pr.ogram. The President reques ted S7,ooo,ooo,ooo for this purpose-and It JS probabl y JUSt the first insta llment. H that amount were con· vcrted inco Sl0 bills and laid end-to-end, the bills would extend twice around the ea rth a t the equator with enough S IO bills lef t over fo r fi ve additional rows from N<!w York to Los Angeles."
STUART CHASE, AI.J,HOR AN D LECTURER, STAT ES : ' '. Do we li ve in a world o f Christian decency ? Alas, we do not, and never have.
Most o f the world's peoples arc no t Christians to beg in wilh . Can we shoo t the wo rds and life o f J esus into benighted agressors? Alas, we cannot- and it would be a wicked hyeoc.ri sy to attempt it. Can. ~·e make the world safe for che gold standard, free trade, ~tr Momagu Norman, pol.rn.cal democ~aq and Inte rnat ional Rotaq·? Not unless we lick the tar ou t of 500 million exccedm~d>· well a rmed pat rio ts who a re very difficult to gee at in the mili ta ry sense.
" Eighty-five per cent o f us do n~n want to lick the tar out o f anyone unless he :thould auack the N ew W o rld . Herc 1s a grave probl t:m of mora le wh ich needs more 1ea lisd c considera tion than the imen ·entioni ,;ts have ever g iven ii. Can we defend ~ c ':"7estern H emi sphere 3:nd save o ur own dcm'!cra tic way of li fe ? \V,/c have a good f1ghttng chance to do so 1f we concentra te on u . We have no chance a t all if we ., cauer our fortes on wild goose t.hases all o ver Europe, Afri ca and Asia."
ROB ERT M. H UTCHINS, PR ES ID E T OF TH E UNIVERS ITY OF CHI CA· GO, SAYS :
" \Xie can no t suppose, because civil li bert ies wert: res tricted in the last war and c.,cpanded a fte r it, tha1 we can rely o n their revival a fter the next one. W e Ameri cans have only the faintest glimmering o f what war is like. This war, if we cm er it will ma~e the last o ne l~ k .like a s1ro ll in the park. If. we go into th is one, we ~o in agarn~t po wers ~ommaung Europe and most o f Asia to aid and a lly who, we a rc told, , s alread y 10 mortal danger. \V,/hen we remember wha t a shon war did 10 the fo ur freedoms, ~e mu.st recognize that they fa ce cx ccrminacion in to tal war to come.
" W e Amen cans have ha rdly begun to unders tand and p racti ce 1he ideals we urged to force o n o thers. W hat we have, in ch is country, is hope. \Vie and we a lo ne hav~ the hope that. we can ac tually ac~icve these ideals. T he framl vork of our government was designed to help us ach1eve them. We have a tremendous continent w ith vas, resources, in a relatively impregnable posi tion. W e have energy, imagina: tion, and brains. W e have made some notable advances in the long march toward justice, freedom, and democracy.
" If we go to war, we cas t away our opportunity and cancel our gains. For 31 genera rion, perhaps fo r a hundred years, we shall not be able to struggle back to where we were. In fa ct, the changes that to tal war wi ll bring may mean tha t we shaU .never be abl«: _to suug~lt: back. Education will cea~. Its place will be taken by vocau onal and m1l1tary trammg. The effort to establish a democrati c community will stop . We shall think no more o f jus tice, the mora l orde r, and the supremacy of human r ights. We shall have hope no longer."

Appropos with the week-end activities in \X'ashington concerning the lease-lend bill is this quo tation o f Winsto n Churchill to Wm. Griffin of the New York Inquirer in 1936-"Legally we owe this debt to the United Stat~s, but logically we do n' t and this because America sho uld have minded her own business and stayed ou, o f the W orld War. II she had do ne so, the Allies would have made peace with G erman)' in rhe spring of 19 17, thus saving over a million British, French, American, and o ther lives and prc .. •enting the subsequent rise o f Fascism and Nazism." .. . . Will you please repeat thac Please, Mr. Churchill ?
• • • Think ing of suckers brings us to the
Minneapo lis drugg ist who has his displ.ty window fu ll of nursing bo ttles wi th the si,[{n read ing : .. G ive the Little Sucke rs a Chance" . .
• See ing some o f the goofy tasks se t up
fo r the current crop o f Greek pledges brings to mind the one about the pledge who was sent o ut by the actives to lih a sugar bowl from the lorn.I beanery for use in the house. Said pledge was do ing fine as he sidled pas t wa iters and manager toward doorway and the freedom o f the grea t ouccloor~. His luck was no t the best, however, for 1us t as he reached the door· way the booty dropped from under his coat to the fl oor with a loud crash. Equal to the ncusion, che pledge immediately whirled around and demanded, " \X/ho threw 1ha t ?" . . .
