The accepted paci- fist view is that nations distrust one ‘another when they go about armed to ‘the teeth, and that to demonstrate ‘your preparedness is a sure way to set the other fellow thinking of a Sight. Sometimes, though, it seems as if things don’t follow that formula. During the last few days a huge ‘British fleet has been holding ma- meuvers in the Leeward Islands, in the West Indies. It is the mightiest fleet England ever has sent across the Atlantic. Not since the day of Rodney has #0 great a proportion of the empire's maval strength visited the edge of the Caribbean. And yet this demonstration has roused not a shadow of fear or sus- picion in the United States. No one has risen to suggest that these ma- meuvers mean that England is look- ing ahead to a war with the United Btates. Indeed, it is likely that not one American in 50 even has known that the British fleet was on this side of the Atlantic. Of those who did know, hardly anyone has thought twice about it. Compare that state of affairs with ington, with the confusion and delay incident to a new national election, We Should Know the Facts Nearly a decade ago an army offi- cer named William Mitchell created & great uproar by charging that America wasn't getting what it was paying for in the way of military air services. For a time his charges were the talk of the nation, When the furore died down, and when the smoke cleared away about all that had hap- pened was that General Mitchell had got himself in very bad with his su- Periors. Now the stage seems set for an- other uproar of the same kind. The army took over the airmail Toutes. Several army flyers were killed in the performance of their’ duty. And the echoes of General Mitchell's charges of long ago roll across the air once more, as American Citizens ask themselves uneasily if their army air corps is really all that it ought to be. It is already apparent that the ins and outs of this situation are go- ing to be extremely hard to get at. How much of the army’s difficul- ties may be due to inexperience, how much to faulty equipment, how much to bad weather and how much to sheer rotten luck—these are matters’ in which we do not yet have enough information to judge correctly. And it is equally certain that we need that information very badly. During the last decade the nation has spent large sums on its military aviation services. It has spent enough money to have an air corps equal in equipment and dependability to any in the world. If it has no such service, it would’ like to know it, and it also would like to know why. Out of the present airmail mixup there should come a thorough, far- Teaching investigation. Not one de- signed to get the head of this man or that man; not one designed to show some corporation up, or gain political advantage for one faction or another; just a patient and thor- ough survey of all the facts, so that we may know definitely whether there is anything wrong with our fly- |°2es especially ing corps. If there isn’t anything wrong, the army is entitled to full exoneration from current criticism. If there is what happened @ year or so ago, when the United States fleet held its maneuvers off Hawail. The whole Japanese nation became slarmed. The stunt was looked upon as a direct menace to Japan. It was as- serted widely that preparation for war with Japan was the only possible motive for such action. The two cases are almost perfectly Parallel, on the surface. But one Passed unnoticed; the other led to something wrong, it’s high time we found it out. Upholding Our Faith A fair sample of the queer things that are done in the name of censor- ship was provided the other day by the Ohio board of movie censors. ‘These functionaries had to pass on & movie in which a district attorney quashes a murder charge against & sweet young thing who shot her boy friend. The district attorney, it an amazing amount of war talk. ‘Why? Perhaps the answer is that arma- ments do not, in themselves, cause fear and suspicion, after all. . If the national interests of two countries re in conflict, or seem to be, then military demonstration will provoke uneasiness and cause irritation. If dear and suspicion exist to begin with, in other words, fleet maneuvers will bring them out into the open. But if they don't—if two nations know perfectly well that they are go- fing to live peaceably, side by side, as the United States and England know 3t—then the admirals can parade ‘their dreadnaughts when and where ‘The law's delays have been a scan- (al since the time of Shakespeare; or, for that matter, since the time of Rabelais, who had certain jibes to make about the lawyers. The latest attack upon this ancient difficulty comes from Governor Lehman of New York, in a special message to ‘the legislature recently. ‘Urging revision of the state’s court Processes, the governor pointed out that in many cases it takes as long as four years after a sult has been {Uled before it can be brought to trial. No Change Wan ‘Those political scientists who de- clare that the United States needs 8 pariiamentary form of government seems, took this step because he per- sonally was interested in the sweet young thing. ‘The censors deliberated earnestly, and then decided that it was against public policy to permit the showing of @ film which cast such aspersions on @ government official. So the thing is out, as far as Ohio) is concerned—and the confidence of Ohio citizens in their elected officials, one presumes, is saved. It would be hard to find a case in which the ridiculous nature of cen- sorship is illustrated more clearly.
