Air Force Snarl ' ' i
In his first annual ; report Secre
tary of Defense James Forreetal out
line "the foundation of the con
troversy between - the Air Force and
the Naval Afr Arm"' in the belief
that the country should . have the
background against which to meas
ure the arguments on both sides.
At Dresent, responsibility for strat
egic warfare belongs to the Air Force
and responsibility for anti-submarine
warfare ielonra to the Navy. There
till remain, - however,, , "great t; areas
in which the viewpoints of the ser-
vicft have not come together." ,
' The Secretary points .out that "the
Nftw has alwavs been a tightly or-
self-contained service. Its
ntiMteiric mission has been con.
trol of the seas. In this, it has made
no nf air nower and of limited
ground forces (L e, the U. S. Marine
Corps) on land missions peculiar to
me COnOUCl OI Uie war .;. t
The Army, continues .the Secre
oW "iab bad to Matter its energiet
and orswnization in many dispersed
.rJ Mttmu-A fields. The Army En
gineers, for example, have had much
fa do with the development of public
wrtrlc The Army's administrative
duties, after all wars, have ' been
numerous V and heavy. By contrast,
tii NaWi mission the control of
with its correlated respon
sibility of conduct of anti-submarine
TOi-faratiflit been, compact and
much more sharply focused."
Pointimr out that the Navy dev
eloped ita air power as aft integral
part of the Navy organization, the
Secretary takes note of the fact that
the carrier and not the battleship has
become the spearhead, the cutting
edge, of modern naval power. The
Air Force, first developed along he
Una of tactical cooperation with
ground troops, later turned to the
development and use of air power
as a major strategic weapon.
Mr; Forreetal points out that the
limitations imposed by the necessity
of having a balanced peacetime bud
get compel difficult decisions in the
allocation , of funds. Consequently,
out of the competiiton, controversies
arise. Officers in the Air Force
"honestly believe that the earner
will have a limited use in a war in
the future" and challenge the main
tenance of these ships. The misgiv
ings are "honestly held" just as are
the "Navy's regarding ths capabil
ities of the lone-range bomber."
Mr. Forrestal takes the view that
the strategic Air Force has estab
lished itself as an essential part of
modern warfare but believes that it
must be capable of close tactical co
operation with ground troops. He
also believes that carriers and Naval
.' 11 1 . J nJ
ttir will play ytxi u iil any nai au
that adequate, but not necessary,
funds - must be allocated to each.
While modern airplanes can fly
oceans in non-stop flight and the air
supply of Berlin has given new vis
ions of large-scale transport by air,
the Secretary still believes that we
are "a long way from the time when
air transport wall be able to span the
ocean as a cargo carrier in great
quantity and at low cost."

On Costa Rica
The recent flare-up between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, which led the
former country to invoke tee 1947
Treaty ef.Rl oda Janeiro, has been
somewhat clarified by a' report is
sued by a preliminary commission
of the organization of American
States. - -
In its report, .the Commission
blamed both sides in the despute, but,
according to the Associated Press,
laid heavier emphasis on Costa Kicae
part. ' The government of that coun
try was accused of giving "material
and oral aid" to the Caribbean Le
gion which has the avowed . purpose
of ocerthrowing some governments,
including the Nicaraguan regime.
At present a five-man international
military Commission is visiting the
two countries to see that they re
frain from "all kinds of hostile
acts". Apparently, the fighting has
died down but five or six other na
tions are hoping that the adventur
ous Caribbean Legion will be curb
ed because they fear it might try to
start trouble in their areas.
In , connection with the. squabbles
that upset the Republics in this
hemisphere, south of the United
States, the main insterest of the
United States is the establishment
and maintenance of peace. It is
futile for the present to expect any
thing like popular self-government
to function in most of the areas and
tha best that can be expected Is that
little democracies,: will evolra during
the future years.
Peace Depends On
What StaHn Thinks
The views of Premier Stalin, of
Russia, upon world affairs are im
portant because he happens to con
trol the destinies of a large country
which has preponderant military!
force in two continents.
The ' State Department has had
responsible students make a serious
study of the Words and writings of
Stalin, using months of reading, com
paring and analyzing everything
Stalin has said in his years as rev
olutionist and Communist leader.
George Morgan, who made one
study, confined himself to actual
statements and comes up with the
conclusion that the overwhelming
burden of Stalin's Statements through
the years indicates he is convinced
that a clash between the Communist
world, led by Russia, and the non'
Communist world, led by the United
States, is inevitable.
There are times when Stalin has
been somewhat in conflict with his
preponderant viewpoint, but these
are explained by tha author as state
ments . made for tactical : reasons.
They are daily contradicted, ho points
out, by what is taught an dpreached
in the Soviet school , as the writings
and sayings of the Premier.
The' Soviet Premier seems to be
convinced that the world is divided,
with Moscow the "Socialist center"
