Air Armament
Washington. Feb. Jl WV-Major
General H. H. Arnold, chief of the

Monday to "arm lor air aeiense
immediately" lest it be too late.
Speaking to several hundred dele
gates at national aviation forum,
General Arnold said:
"France and England must now
realise they began. too late. Let us
not make that mistake. Please bear
in mind much time 1 required to
build up an air force.
"It cannot be done overnight.
Eighteen months are required to
reach quantity production in planes.
Note I said reach. Two years are re
quired to train personnel to make
them competent to handle our com
plicated air craft.
"A strong air force may go a long
way toward keeping America out
of war, also a strong air force is ab
solutely vital in keeping war out
of America."
Arnold characterized the naval
air service as more efficient than
that of any other navy in the world.
He added land forces, navies and air
forces "now form a triumvirate for
successful warfare."
In an address prepared for deliv
ery thla afternoon, Rear Admiral A.
B. Cook, chief of the naval bureau
of aeronautic, emphasized the im
portance of shore facilities, research
and factory productivity to the
navy's air arm.
"The constantly growing Interest
In national defense is of Itself suf
ficient evidence for people are
thoroughly aware of the lawless
forces which sulk the highway of
the world today," Cook' address
said.
"And In their awareness they are
determined that crises like that
which shook Europe in September
last shall not find us lacking those
elements of national defense which
apparently played so great a part In
the negotiations of that troubled
autumn."

significant now because of the con
dition of turmoil In the world, he
said. "No group is better equipped
for citizenship and service Just now
than Kiwanis." he added.
Mr. Hill, talking about the legis
lature, mentioned taxation, relief
and unemployment Insurance as
major problems before the session
"It is with the aid of such men
as you who are seated about these
tables that we are best able to leg
islate," he said. . . . "You should
assume of the responsibilities of the
office holders. Otherwise you should
be slow about criticizing the men
who are in office."
He said that citizens at large have
become somewhat contemptuous of
politics, and conceded that too much
power had been put Into the hands
of boards and commissions, account
ing for a movement in the leglsla-
ture to abolish some of them.
