Japan's lead is too great for China to overtake it in the present contest. On the other hand a small and efficient air force might play. a part in the internal pacification of China and the asser- tion of authority by the National Government comparable to that of the Ever Victorious Army of WARD and GORDON in the Taiping Re bellion. Aerial fighting is an ad- vance in military science of equal significance to the introduction of gunpowder, in the fourteenth cen tury, and rifle and mechanical transport in the nineteenth. When artillery established itself to factor in warfare, the royal houses of Europe, grasping some idea of ita implications and possibilities, wore careful to secure a monopoly of cannon and the factories for casting then and for providing am munition. The ond of feudalism and the concentration of power in the hands of central governments then became only a matter of tint. It is possible that an essentially similar role will be played by mili- tary aviation on the vastly bigger scale of the Chinese Republic, whos
