The Pattern
Of Victory
%r
(New York Times)
A group of 17 Americans of
varied experience, including four
high-ranking Admirals recently
on the active list, has performed
a timely service by challenging
the defeatism now being spread
by the faint-hearted, the cynics
and the doubtful friends of Brit
ain. These Americans point out
some of th. tremendous forces
at work on Britain’s side: sea
power, which has never yet lost
a struggle of world-wide propor
tions; industrial production, at
which no other nation in the
world can remotely match the
full-fledged effort of the United
States; geography, which will per
mit American production to func
tion uninterruptedly, safe from
any air attack, so long as Britain
stands as the first-line of our de
fense; raw materials, available in
inexhaustible quantity to the
British and ourselves, whereas
Germany still lacks suffici nt sup
plies of many vital materials de
spite her conquest of the Contin-!
ent. Concerning the immense im
portance of this final item we
have the added t stimony of an
other export: it was Hitler him
self who told the Reichstag only
two years ago that Germany
must have overseas sources and
markets in order to survive, ‘ex
port or die,’’ he put it bluntly.
There comes a point in every
war when defeatism thrives will
ingly on bad news. In the present
case two factors cr ate the il
lusion of German invicibility, but
only for those who lack perspec- j
live. The first is the superiority
of Hitler’s mechanized war ma
chine; the second, the extent of
his victories. But as this com
mitt.e of Americans reminds us,
the superiority of Hitler’s mech
anized weapons is exclusively the
result of the head-start he had
while other nations were indiffer
ent—a “t mporary and fleeting"
advantage which can be offset by
our own superior capacity for
production. As for the area over,
which the swastika now flies: it
was pointed out that fully three
quarters of all the land that Hit
ler rules today lay inside the G t
man military lines in 1918. and
still this did not spell a victory
for German arms.
The pattern of victory is a com
bination of military competence,
industrial genius and moral stay
ingpower. We believe that Britain
ds at least the equal of Germany
in the first; that Britain and the J
United States are comparably su
perior to Germany in the second,
and that experience will show
that discipline taught at the end
of a whip is no substitute for th.
loyalty and patrotism of a free
people. Britain can win this war, I
June 25 to about October 5, 1941
we turn loose the full power of;
our war industries and take what,
ever action may be needed to:
bring our productive equipment j
into contact with the battle-lines. ’

A voluntary underwriters re
duction of 20% in the rates for
life and accident insurance, pub
lic liability and property damage
premiums covering the CAA Civ
ilian Pilot Training Program will
bocom effective when the sum
mer s-.-'n opens on July 1st. it
was announc'd by Donald H. Con
nolly. A n«m'istra'tor (if Civil
Aeronautics. This will be the sec
ond cut this year a id the fifth
concession made by the aviation
insurance underwriters in the
two years th program has been
in existence.
The new rate for each student
taking private training will be
$7.20 including both the $1,000
hospitalization and medical reim
hur-rm nt and $3,000 accidental
dea‘h nr dismemberment. In the
secondary course the cost will be
S9.fi i for the same coverage.
Each flight pcratn" is required
to carry $50,000 to $109,000 public
liability, and $5,000 property
damage in-uranc. on each CAA
student enrolled in his school,
and the rates on these policies
have also been reduced from
$3,90 to $6.40 far priv ate students
. rd fr >m $10 to $8 for second
ary students.
“This program has establish d
a safety record unprec dented in
" :ns:ory of private flying,” said
Administrator Connolly. “In turn
lag out mi re than 511,009 pilot.-1
th.re have been but 31 fatalities
in the CPF., 19 students and 12
instructors. This is equivalent to j
4,325,396 miles per fatality. The 1
total number of miles flown by i
our trainee- add- up to the aston J
ishing figure of 134,087.230, equi- j
valent to 22,000 round trips be-]
tween New York and San Fran- j
cisco.
“These 50,0 0 pilots and the ad - j
ditional 15.000 which w expect j
to certificate befor .* June 30th of i
this year are safe pilots because
they have been taught to fly pro
perly in con trolled courses. The
basic principle of saf flying was
the first thing they learned and
every move they made after that
was watched over and controlled
by instructors who had themselv
es been ch eked and rerated by
the CAA so we could be sure that
our plan would be carried out
properly.”
Previous to the establishment
of the program, $3,000 insurance
coverage cost a stud 'nt pilot $35.
The first rate for the CAA con
trolled course was $20. This was
