in the war department as to the rela
tlve importance and position of air
craft to other no its of the national de
fense.
The board heard those charged with
the administration of the army dis
cuss the policy, fundamental ground
work and prospects for its air service,
about which Acting Secretary Davis
said there was no cause for alarm, de
spite the fact that it was operating
with inadequate equipment and was in
need of additional funds.
Although Mr. Davis and two of
his high-ranking officers vigorously
opposed the creation of a department
of national defense with a directing
head of all air forces, which has been
urged by Colonel William Mitchell,
this proposal drew the favor of Major-
General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the
army air service.
General Patrick said he believed
such a department would ultimately
be advisable in the system of national
defense, but in the meantime the air
service should be made “semi-autono
mous," with a position similar to that
of the marine corps in its relation to
the navy.
Maintenance of the navy air service
organization in substantially its pres
ent form was advocated by Secretary
Wilbur before the president’s air
board.
The position of Secretary Wilbur in
favor of maintaining substantially thu
present organization for naval avia
tion was support* <1 before the board
by Admiral Eberle, chief of naval
operations.
