THE “AVOIDABLE FACTOR” The tragic death of another skilled Alaskan flyer poses an important question to the people of Alaska and to the transients who have been using air trans- portation throughout the Territory. Why, it should be asked. has there been such loss of life, particu- larly among men skilled in Alaskan aviation, during recent months? The answer may lie, in part at least, in the increased pressure under which these flyers are oper- ating. With military expansion in the di ot came the expansion of aviation. For a year or more, every plane, every pilot has been under constant pressure That pressure has, in part, been mechanical In part it has been psychological Machines, like minds, will stand a certain amount of over-use. Then they go to pieces. P may be replaced with new ones, but always there are those mechanical gadgets which holdovers from the old when they are needed most. Still it appears that the war must go on, and that if Victory is to be achieved in the least possible time, we shall have 0 go along with what we have as long as we can On the other hand, the mental strain under which flyers have been laboring can, in part be are avoided. The pilot recognizes the hazards of his profession, and long since has adjusted himself to it What he has not been prepared for is the in- creased psychological pressure under which his pas- sengers place him 'mi mon {Americans.

To carry out this far-reaching program, and convert colleges and universities, including the big- | gest, into technical schools for the Army and Navy, | “liberal arts” will have to undergo stringent curtail- | ment.

Instead of opposing the military plan, most of | the colleges are emphatically in favor of it, and ap- parently had an important part in drafting it Already the average college enrollment has bee cut 30 percent. Empty classrooms and bankruptey are in the offing as a result of lowered draft ages and other war factors. So, the schools have readily agreed with the Government: | Better to convert to war purposes and survive | than to close up and perish. ‘ All able-bodied males of college age are destined | for military service.
