LET CONSULS BE CONSULS—ONLY
Mayor La Guardia of New York, deeply dis-
tressed by the entrance of Italy into the war (for
La Guardia is an American of Italian origins, and
fought with the Italians in an American aviation
unit during the World War), has called attention
to a point of the greatest importance.
The persons of duly accredited consular officers
will be fully protected, he assured, and all of their
rights under the treaties respected. But, he added,
"On the other hand, may I most respectfully
say we shall expect consular officers to adhere
strictly to their consular duties."
Those are fair, clear words, and they lay down a
basic policy which without doubt all the people of the
United States will echo.
Diplomats and consular officers are privileged
people. Countries receive them from the lands of
their origin to facilitate official communication
between the countries, to smooth the paths of
trade, and to look after the interests of citizens
of the country from which they come in the
country where they are accredited.
But it ought to be plainly noted that the consular
and diplomatic privileges apply only to persons plain-
ly accredited by their home governments in perform-
ing services and duties agreed on by treaty between
the two countries concerned. They do not include
working for the home country in any way outside
those agreed channels and fields.
. The country faced this problem when it was
yet young. "Citizen" Genet came here from revo-
lutionary France and immediately went to work
with direct agitation among American citizens in
his cause, and with outfitting privateers, recruit-
ing volunteers, and engineering military expedi-
tions against powers with which the United States
was at peace.
Washington had an answer to all this. It was to in-
sist on, and to secure Genet's recall.
There have been later examples. Diplomatic immu-
nity and privilege were badly abused by the repre-
sentatives of Austria and Germany before American
entry into the World War. They used their position
to plot and connive against the American people.
Wilson had an answer to that. He sent them home.
The same answer would be given in any simi-
lar situation today. Diplomats and consular offi-
cers of all nations with which the United States
is at peace are welcome, and will be protected in
their proper functions. No activities beyond these
well-defined spheres will be tolerated for a mom-
ent.

RY RRCt'K CATTOV
WASHINGTON — f NEA)
—Until recently, Americans
generally understood that
they had probably the best
military planes in the world.
Lately the pendulum has
swung over to I he other
end of the arc, so that folks
are getting the idea that
Uncle Sam's fighting plane;;
are hopelessly out, of date,
so outclassed that they
raig'h*. as vyo 11 be thrown
awaj.
The (ruth lies between Ihe
two extremes.
Most plane.' in the I . S.
military service today have
been oulmodcd biK ;!i• ■.'r
still good airplane,mid
could lie extremely useful
in war. If that weren't true,
the allies wouldn't be so an-
xious to get them.
OLD I'l RSCIT SHIPS
STILL CSKFIL
A good illustration is the
pursuit plane *— the plane
which exists to fight, enemy
airplanes. It has to have
high speed, so that it can
make the enemy fight when
he doesn't, want to fight; it
ha ; to have maneuverabili-
ty. so it can handle itself
when the fight starts, and it
has to be able to climb
fast.
A couple of years ago the
Curtiss p-36 was the army'.-
pet pursuit plane. For ex-
port, Curtiss sold the 75,
which was much the same
ship. The Spanish republi-
cans bought and used a lot
of these and found they
were tops. The French
stocked up with quite a
number, and in the early
p;irt of the present war they
beat the German Messerseh-
midts regularly.
Then the G e r m a n s
brought out a new Messer-
scmidt, with a 40-mile speed
advantage- and the 75's had
to be taken out of front-
line service, because they
no longer could force a
fight on the Germans when
the Germans didn't want
one. "
Rut the 75 still isn't use-
less. If the situation is such
that, your enemy must at-
tack and defeat your fight,
ing planes in order to carry
out his mission, a disadvan-
tage in speed doesn't hurt,
you. The 75 can still maneu-
ver as well as the Me er-
schmidt, and outclimb it to
boot; hence for strictly de-
fensive purposes it's a per-
fectly good ship. It's obsoles-
cent - but not obsolete.
FA,YIOCS 'STCKAS'
A RF, 'MRSAT//'
The famed German ;tu-
I'.as, or dive-bombers, are an-
other ease in point.
Many of these, experts
here suspect, are simply out-
of-date attack planes. For or-
dinary purposes, they're
nearly useless; for the new
German tactic, they're as
good as they need to be.
A lot of them will inevitab-
ly be lost in any "power-
house" attack — but if they
accomplish their one speci-
fic mission, they've done all
that, was asked.
In the U. S. air force, this
type of work would be done
j by the light, bomber. Air
corps experts point out that
a plane which was out of
; date for ordinary "nigh-alti-
tude bombing missions
could still fill this role
STILL GOOD
t OR SOMETHING
ni general, a bombing
plalie needs two character-
istic.- -speed, and defensive
power in guns and armor.
| Above a certain level, it
| must skimp on one to save
on the other. It, may be bad-
ly obsolescent in one respect
and not obsolescent at all in
the other — and hence,
though outdated, still have
a lot. of value. Also, bomb-
ers are generally aceompan-
!' ied and protected by pur-
suit, planesj a given flight
of bombers could be nearly
worthless if its protecting
fighters were outclassed,
but 100 per cent efficient if
its fighters were superior
! to t lie enemy's.

Vacation Tips
Posted to Aid
4Babe in Woods'
•
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
The U. S. Forest Service today
issued five simple rules on how
not to become a "Babe in the
Woods" on your vacation this
summer.
Forest Rangers spent much
of their time looking for city
people who can find their way
about the maze of New York
or Chicago streets, but who be-
come lost the minute they are
out of sight of their party.
The rules laid down by the
Forest Service are:
1. Stop, sit down and try to
figure out where you are. Use
your head, not your legs.
2. If caught by night, fog or
storm, stop at once and make
camp In a sheltered spot. Build
a fire in a safe place. Gather
plenty of dry fuel.
Don't wander about. Travel
only down hill.
4. If injured, choose a clear
spot on a promontory and make
a smoke signal.
5. Don't yell, don't run, don't
worry, and above all don't quit..
The big thing to remember,
said the Forest Service, is: Don't
let yourself get, panicky. Don't
let the creeps get you. As a rule
there is only one thing to he
afraid of, and that is yourself.
"Merely being out of sight of
others in a strange forest, gives
many a man the creeps—a nat-
ural feeling but a dangerous
one," the service warned. "Nev-
er yield to it. In the mountains
the grip of panic is too often
the grip of death."
The service said that it is bad.
when lost, t.o wander. Most lost
persons travel in circles. One
way,to avoid that is to travel
only down hill; there are
streams and probabfy trails or
roads in the valley.
"Loss of mental control is
more serious than lack of food,
water, clothing or possible prox-
imity of wild animals," the ser-
vice said. "The man who keeps
his head has the best chance
to come through in safety."
Signal fires are the quickest
way to attract, attention. Ruild
them in a spot cleared of all
inflammable materials so that
the fire will not spread, and pos-
sibly burn you to death.
In the daytime, throw green
branches and wet wood on the
blaze to make smoke. The chan-
ces are 10 to one. said the ser-
vice, that "the eagle eye of the
Forest Service fire lookouts or
the observer in forest patrol
planes will spot your smoke and
send a rescue party."

Newspaper Chain
Supports Willkie
NEW YORK — (UP) — In
an editorial entitled "we hope
it's Willkie," the Scripps-How
ard newspapers Wednesday an-
nounced that they would sup-
port Wendell E. Willkie for the
republican presidential nomi-

the eve of their convention,"
the editorial said. "The country
will listen to him. It will listen
to Roosevelt. It will have a
choice between two strong men.
"If the republican party wants
to provide real opposition—and
that is its duty—It will nomi-
nate Willkie."
