Roo^velt let In toe World war it was the cam paign in toe Northcliffe press toat led to toe organization of toe muni tion supply and toe provision of ade quate quantities of high explosive shells. The same campaign contrib uted to toe formation of toe Coali tion Ministry. The Northcliffe press must also be given substantial credit for its insistence on the importance of airplane production at toat time. Yet Northcliffe had to fight the of ficial censors, who would not allow him to print toe stories his newspa pers were receiving from toe front on the ammunition shortage of the British forces there. In toe present war, unfortunately, there waa no Northcliffe in France: toe French people had implicit faith in their military leaders and in the strength of their defenses; but toe French military leaders were too wedded to outmoded methods of warfare to provide toe necessary tanks and air planes or even to agitate for them with sufficient vigor. If toe real facts had been known to toe French pub lic, reforms might have been forced in time. As long as this country remains even in a technical state of peace, certainly its course regarding the publicity to be given to defense progress is reasonably clear. It ought to publish at regular intervals, prob ably each niotito, fairly TOmpreKen- sive statements of toe progress of the defense program. When new ships are commissioned, toe country should learn of them. 'There should be a monthly statement of our military j^plane pVoduction, with at least enough analysis to be meaningful. Actual combat planes, for example, should be separated from mere train ing planes. ITiere should certainly be no effort to suppress at one point in formation toat ha? already been made public at another. The Ameri can people have a right to knowj what their country has to fight with. I If toe country is strong, it does little' harm for a potential enemy to know it. If toe country is weak at some point, toe authorities will naturally endeavor to conceal this weakness. But toe worst thing toat could pos sibly happen would be to conceal this wealmess from their own peo ple while failing to conceal it from an enemy. If toe public knows where our weaknesses are, it can be coimted on to throw its energies into ending them. H. D.
