At the start of the war in Europe,
the Germans were so confident of
the superiority of their airplanes
that they ignored completely the
aviation development of their ene-
mies. The Germans had seen their
bombers outdistance the best light-

Washington was neither brilliant

he may not inspire today's
poets and playwrights, he was. fre m
the Revolution's end to his death,
the object of the greatest adulation
ever accorded an American leader.
It is worth remembering, in an
era when dictatorship has been the
world fashion, how wisely and mod-
estly Washington bore that adula-
tion. It is worth remembering, too.
how well he deserved it
Washington faced the gravest
problems that ever beset an Ameri-
can leader in war or peace. The
nation which he led through its
longest war was nominally united,
but really divided and impoverished
and
powerless to do more than advise
the states. Its army was dispirited.
I badly equipped, and at times faced
■ with actual starvation,
f Washington had to divide his
time between rallying his forces to
[ stay with him. planning and lead-
ing their campaigns, and constant-
ly begging and bludgeoning the
[ states to provide food and money
i to avert the total defeat which at
qualities. There was nothing mer-
curial about his statesmanship - he
was a farmer by first choice, a sol-
dier by second, and a statesman by
necessity —but it was molded by
common sense, hard work and an
unimpeachable code of ethics.
These qlmlities passed into the
fabric of his country and are still
visible. They might be more so if
we bothered to make Washington's
