SEA POWER ON WINGS First from the Coral Sea, then from the Battle of Midwav have come two imposing lessons on the new strategy of naval . warfare——lessons of a sort that such.confirmed airmen as May. or De Seversky have been’ preaching since long before the “present war started. One of the lessons was brought home by the similarity of two comments mad¢ on the same day by reputable observers. one concerning. Coral Sea, the other Midway. “Te was a battle of aircraft carriers . . . the modern rulers of the seas.” said Stanlev Johnston, Chicago Tribune correspondent. “The surface fleets which fought the battle never saw each other, and during most of the fighting were from 80 striking ide : ys EES oth RG eee an BE PEEL Ee Me AES i to 180 miles anart. This.is the story I have to tell—the first of its kird in all history.” On the day when Johnston's article appeared, the current . Time magazine was carrying this comment on the more recent . Midwav battle. . “Sy far as the communicues indicated. the greater portion of the two fleets never got within a day’s sailing distance of each other. Most of the action was fought by aircraft.”Both of these sources also pointed the No. 2 lesson of the two engagements. Time did it with particular clarity. ‘In the Japanese fleet of battleships. cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, the capital ship was the aircraft carrier. That fleet. built around sea-borne air power, had to retreat before U. S. air power in a still mightier form: The land-based. airplane, now come into its own as a dominant weapon of naval warfare. “The U. S. not Japan—is stronger now and potentially, in long-range heavy load, land-based army bombers of the kind which sent the Japanese reeling back from Midway: and it was in this fact. rather than in the actual comparative losses ‘at Midway, that the U. S. saw the face of victory.” These two battles—Midway and Coral Sea, are America’s two greatest naval engagements of the current war. Their lessons—that sea power is worthless without air power to cover it, and that land-based air power is far superior to sea-borne air power, when the action is within range of land—appear to be conclusive.

From time immemorial, all regular newspapers, magazines and other periodicals, big and small, have been handled as secotid-class mail, under a special rate schedule and snecific restrictions and regulations imposed by the postoffice department. The committee’s recommendation that second class rates be raised is termed a revenue producing measure, but it actually is a virtually undisguised slap at the press in general, for calling the public’s attention to the many serious failines of this particular congress—not the least of these failings being the disgracefully dilatory manner in which this very vroup. the. house ways and means committee, has held up action on . the tax bill. But if congress is truly interested in the revenue-produc” ing possibilities of tampering with the mails.’as well as__oldfashoned back-stabbing, it would do well to.look in its own backyard. For it is well known that the volumes of franked hot-ai~ which congressmen themselves sent out, and the reams of publicity drivel that the various departments put out—all in postage free envelopes—costs the post office department a lot more than the special rate now granted for second class mail. The members of this committee had best stick to levying taxes to win the war, instead of misusing their unquestioned taxing power by wielding it as a club to silence critics —Sacramento Union.
