Mitchell on Weakness of
America’s Air Defense.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
in the shape of documents and
undaunted by his approaching court-
martial for Insubordinate
Col, William Mitchell appeared before
the aircraft board last week and re
that obstinacy and inefficiency of high
army and navy officials have rendered
the United States utteriy deficient lo
eir defense. He read a prepared
statement In nine sections, the nf
points of which are thus summarized:

In future wars the nation losing con-
trol of the air will capitulate to deso-
lation by unrestricted alr attack.
adequate alr and submarine
would make this country invulnerable
to attack, and the cost would be but a
force
at present. Finally, the United States
should have a department of national
defense, comprising the navy, army,
and alr force, and a department of
aeronautics, comprising military
civil aviation and aircraft
ture,
The mission of the land. sea and alr
forces, sald Mitchell, should be def.
initely stated by law. That is:
“The army to be charged with the
defense of all land areas;
mavufac
defense of ull sea areas, on or under
the water beyond the control of mis
sile throwing weapons from the shore
or effective aircraft operations from
shore bases;
the complete defense of operations and
the aerial attack of all enemy targets
on sea and land.”
To the seif-nsked question why the
onel Mitchell replied:
“Because alr matters are entrusted
to the army and the navy which are
handled and governed and dominated
by non-flying officers, They not only
know next to nothing about aviation,
but regard it merely as an auxiliary
of their present activities and not as a
main force In the nation's military
equipment. Their testimony regarding
air matters Is almost worthless, some-
times more gerious than this”
. Next day Colonel Mitchell continued
his attack and criticized the navy for
the Shenandoah disaster and the fall
ure of the Hawall flight. Then lic was
questioned at length by various mem.
bers of the board and finally Chair
man Morrow asked Admiral Fletcher
of the navy and General Harbord of
the army If they desired to put any
questions to the witness, To the sur

any cross examining, Mitchel! himself
