been too proud to let the public
know it, but they have been almost
down on their knees before U. S.

more airplanes.
The French aviation situation is
desperate. How many planes have

that at leust an equul number of

One big handicap to the French
is thut they were counting upon B rit­
ish uir support. The original tactics
were for the French to do the bulk
of the land fighting, with the British
reinforcing in the air. But this was
before unyone realized that H itler
was going to break through the
French lines and head straight for
the channel.
Now E ritain needs every plane
she has for the home defense.
So desperate was the French
plight that they wanted to buy any
kind of plane, even those consid­
ered too old lor the U. S. arm y.
The w ar department estimates it
has more than 1,500 out of date

The Knudsen-Stettinius-etcetera
board is not a council of national
defense. It is an advisory commis­
sion to the statutory council which
is composed of Secretaries Wood-
ring, Edison, Ickes, Wallace, Hop­
kins, and Perkins.
Only these New Dealers have
authority. They, added to the New
Dealers on the commission—Leon
Henderson, Sidney H illm an, Chester
Davis, W illiam McReynolds and
perhaps H a rrie t E lliott—make a |
total of 10 or 11 New Dealers.
There ore only three non-New j
Dealers, Knudsen, Stettinius and
Budd, and only the New Dealers
have any power. Yet the setup is
being widely represented as “ non-
political” — several commentators
insisting that Knudsen was "nom- '
