Airrratt development in America.
Colonel Mitchell said. has been "slow
and inefficient" and "until we have
Aictlnllc laws on which to organize
an air force. we will have no true air
power."
Command of the air. he said. is at
prime importance in warfare. and
statements that since the World
War anti-aircraft ground fire has
been developed to a point to ward otl‘
attack from the air were unf0undr-rl.
“Tho only defense against air-
crai't." he continued, "in by hitting
the enemy iirst, Just as far away
from home as possible. The idea of
defending the country against air
attack by machine guns or unil-
aircrnt‘t cannon from the ground is
absolutely incapable of being carrlvd
out."
For exterior enemies. “we must
loolracross tho Atlantio and Pacific."
he declared. adding that "although
it may be unthinkable that trouble
may develop with England, that Im-
tiou "is‘ the main reason that our
defenscs on the Atlantic are neces-
nary."
He estimated that Great Britain's
present organization of 1,000 planes

landed, set up and be ready {or
operation in from eight to ten days.
Airways along the northern side of
the St. Lawrence River were already
laid out and in operation, he do-
clared. adding that “this is why
we carried out our maneuvers along
the Atlantic coast in 1923."
The Colonel also discussed pos-
sible enemies in the Pacific. declar-
ing that "on the coast of Asia we
find Japan," whose aspirations are
to “control all ingress an egress
to the Continent of Asia."
“it we loolc back," he continued.
“Russia. once owned Alaska, and
Russians once had settled all along
the Pacific coast to the vicinity oi
whore San Francisco stands today.
The point is that the invasion or the
North‘ America. Continent came by
way of Alaska. as had the invasions
that preceded it.
"it is not by way of Honolulu that
an adversary is coming. because the
broad sea area is too great to in-
sure the safety of suutuce vessels
against air and submarine attack.
Cites Jup Menace.
"If we are required to defend our
selves against the Asiatic power or
combined Asiatic powers. led by
Japan their line of operations would
certainly extend north along the
Kurlie islands, to Kamchatka and
across the Bering Sea to Alaska. by
way of the Aleutians and Bering
Straits. if properly organized, our
defense in this area is easy."
Colonel Mitchell prefaced his tes—
timony. large part of which was
taken from his latest book. "Winged
Defense," with the statement that.
as far as he was concerned. there
was “absolutely and unqualifiedly no
seeking for government position, no
political affiliation or hidden desire
behind my stand."
Rapid development of aircraft
and submarine, he said. prcsrntcAl
an opportunity "to mow. toward :1
new limitation of armaments," anti
both hr. believed would cause new
economics. "as. for example. more
than 1.000 airplanes can be. built
and maintained for the outlay re.
qulred for one battleship.“
Declaring” that aircra‘tt had dini-
inished the importanco of the hm.
tic-ship. he predicted it would even-
tually be eliminated.
“During the war." he continued.
"no battleship sunk another battle-
ship entered into combat with the
enemy. Air pewcr has caused a dc-
cidcd change in applying armel
forces both defensive and olicnsivi,
although the effect of air pow r O‘i
armies is not as decided as it' 0‘1
