ITH Congress determined to take a hand in investigating aircraft production, between the Senate, the House, the Department of Justice and independent or unofficial investigators eager to unfold their worst suspicions, the dust is likely to rise a good deal thicker before it finally clears. Nevertheless, out of it all should emerge the truth to which the ‘American people are entitled, | es facts and figures involved in the Gov- ernment’s aviation plans should be kept secret on the ground of! military necessity. Secretary Baker belie Without, however, revealing to the enemy anything he does not already know from direct observation, it ought to be possible—as between the assertion of one American army officer that the Nation’s forces in France are practical enemy aircraft and the equall y without means of attacking positive statement of another officer! that the American forces in France are “adequately protected with! aircraft”—to show Americans at home where the truth lies. | Nor can military necessity require that the American people, at @ moment when they are being asked to spend $1,032,000,000 more on airplanes, shall be denied the right to know what has been done} with the $640,000,000 already spent on this most important depart- ment of activity in a war for which THEY are paying. | As aircraft production now stands in this country, secrecy, scandal and stagnation are what furnish aid and comfort to the| !
