Au(g AfpbglUDC SUTtet, PIonr THE AIRCRAFT SITUATION. nnJIOSK wli know the sfiilpliir d'utmi liorluni, oi' A .Idlui Jidj'liun or John (Jiifzon, as lit? lias styled himself at various periods in his eareer, will lake with a grain of salt his accusations against the aircraft produc tion loard men who have patriotically devoted their time and energy in creating a vast new industry and solv ing almost uiisolvalile problems. The army officers lit; so glibly accuses and the big businesn men associated with them are all men of unstained and unsullied reputations and Mr. Uorglum has produced no proof to substantiate his accusations, save that his artistic ego was offended by the lack of consideration shown him. Mv. liorgliim began his artistic eareer as a protege of the late Lcland Stafford of California, who sent him abroad to study. Upon the hitter's death, 0. M. Linnea gcr, a wealthy Omaha man became his patron, and later " Lucky." .Baldwin. Borglum was then a painter. He quar reled with his parents, his wife, his benefactors and dis owned his brother, Solon liorgliim, also a sculptor, and changed his name because the latter showed talent. Many incidents in his career, notably 1 lit smashing of the stat ue of the Angel (iabriel, because of criticism, illustrate his ungovernable temper and lack of poise. Tim aircraft board is to be blamed for misleading the public with glowing prospectus, deceiving Secretary La ker and Hits administration by not promptly acknowledg ing failures, delays and disappointments, and reporting that the program was ahead of schedule instead of be hind. To this extent, the board was dishonest. The board failed to realize the many difficulties to be encountered, entailing costly delays. Great Lritain and France have both had similar troubles in aircraft produc tion. As near as can be gathered, the great mistake of the board was in not separating the experimental and produc tion departments, but changing plans and specifications constantly, thus interfering with production. The airplane engineers were tinkering instead of producing. A total lack of co-ordination of various agencies and instruments also handicapped the program. These various shortcomings have already been reme died. .John I). Uyan, a noted organizer, has been placed at the head of the department and ha eo-ordinated the various bureaus, welding the loose parts together into one compact business organization. The production and ex perimental departments have been segregated. The inves tigation of the aircraft board to find tnit whether there was graft or criminality- has been ordered by the presi dent, who has appointed .ludge Charles H. Hughe.-;, who won fame by probing Hie life insurance scandals, as chief invest ig.it or. t None of the knocks that have assailed the department have come from trained aircraft, engineers, who know what iney are lauung aiiour. Jiorgiuni is an artist. .1 no aero clubs that have constant ly assailed the board are composed ol rich amateurs. Another society is headed by some pat cut attorneys and a typewriter nianufact urer. Meanwhile, American aviators in American machines are apearing in constantly increasing numbers on the bat tle line. The assertion that but one complete airship has been shipped to France sounds sinister-like, until it is re membered that it was merely sent as a model, that the various parts are shipped "knockdown," to save cargo space and that auS assembling plant and factory employing !),(!()() American mechanics is in full operation in France. Quant ity product ion is under way, and there is nothing to be discouraged about. Such delays as have been en countered in our war preparations have taught us to re move the obstacles and make up for lost time by intensify ing speed. A big new job was neer done without some mistakes and some delays. The important thing is thai every possible effort is now being exerted to offset Ihein. American forces, hundreds of thousands strong, are at the Vprcs front, in I Meanly and in Lorraine, reinforcing the allies. Daily new troops are pouring across, as well as adequate supplies and munitions. The League for Na tional duty litis published the following summary of war efforts abroad: ''The diilcd Slates in the past year has made its own purl on the French coast ; built its own railroads (SIM) miles of track and more): laid out at its new harbor, which can deal with forty vessels at once, a freight yard bigger than any one yard about any great American city; provided a railroad eiiiipnicnt such as Knrope never saw lie fore: sc. up its own telegraph and telephone!! system ( r"00 opera tors for this last ); constructed hospitals, warehouses and magazines; established workshops and factories where arc works are already full, and made till ready for its new armies, so that if o.iK ().()()( ) fighting men arc needed, room, ciiipiiient and provision tire there for till of them, without crowding or deranging what our allies have in four years pro ided for theuieslves. ''We have now more shipyards Ihau (ircat Lritain, t he grcat"st of shipbuilding uat ions. Our navy is building more submarine destroyers than there were in any two of the world's naics when the war broke out. Our regular navy has more men in it than the British navy had in July, 1!)1 I, when it was the world's largest naval force. Next year we shall fully make up the loss caused by submarines. " Let no man or woman underrate the work already done to make the world safe for democrary, or doubt that we and our allies shall have the full ability and resources to fight our way to victory. If mistakes have been made, we have learned from thein. Kvcit after forty years of cal culated war preparations the German bureaucracy lias made serious mi-takes during tin's war. Misrepresentations of the nation's efforts is termed "moral treason," and the relatives of the soldiers are urged to stamp it out wherever it appears, thus guaranteeing the boys in the trenches against the enemies at home while the boys themselves are attending to the eneinv at the fivnt, MEMWID WATT TRTBONE, MTCPFOttD.
