...superior air personnel are dismissed by the professionals as fantastic. Aviation, the professionals say, is a young man's game; hence a lack of good pilots in the early-thirty age brackets is not critical. Free-lance figures for British and French air strength are judged far too high. Free lance authorities set British monthly plane replacement capacity at 600, professionals say it is closer to 240. They admit, however, that the British production rate is rising. But, while the British may have solved some of their production problems since Munich, the professionals doubt that Royal Air Force expansion...

The democratic idea, of the value of every human soul and the right of every human being to protect his own interests in so far as they do not too drastically infringe upon the interests of others, is not in the least incompatible with the aristocratic conception, provided the latter is removed from the field of privilege. A good society should produce a natural leadership of the biologically and mentally superior. The best society-and here...
