A Simple Issue

As for the issues in this gigantic conflict, they can be reduced to-a single simple statement. It is this: Is the world to be allowed to revert to the savagery and barbarism of the dark ages or, are the peoples of the world to be allowed to continue to emerge into the broad light of a bene- ficent, all-embracing civilization, towards which they have been struggling upwerd and onward for’a thousand years?

They cannot afford to leave the light of human freedom shining anywhere in the world. -For.them at least the world cannot continue half free and half slave. Therefore they wage war, world wide in its: purpose; and by a law of iron necessity this war must go on until it destroys every vestige of freedom in the world, or the dic- tatorships are themselvés consumed in the fires which they have ignited.”

, With such a desperate issue facing them, there is.only one thing facing the yet unconquered democracies, and that is to put everything they possess | into the fight and to wage it to a finish.

A Nazi Error British Method Of Aerial Warfare More Pffective Than German ‘ Hitler's air-krieg against Britain failed to blitz because he personally chose the wrong method of aitack.

Over-confident after his conquests accomplished by breaking the morale of Francé, Belgium, Holland, Den- mark and Norway, he thought he could win England by the same method. ,

- Enstead of picking out British’ air- plane faciories, for instance, and de-| voting two weeks of methodical at- tack, if necessary, for their destruc- tion one by one, he chose to con- | duct an air-fright campaign designed pr:marily to incite the people of Lon- don. to change its government for peace. It was the first mistake he made.

Only two airplane factories in England have been put out of com- | mission by the Germans since the | Start of the war, and these were out only three to four weeks. You may accept the most authoritative word | poestbte here for that. | The British method of warfare | against Germany has been much more effective, although less ‘sensa- tional. They picked. out oil depots | and factories in the beginning and have bombed them systematically, avoidintg the kind of wastéd effort, | from a military standpoint, in which Hitler has indulged in London.

This edge can be pressed by the British through the winter as Ger- {many is not protected by the fog | which usually. enshrouds England | during that season.

By April British ‘plane produc- tion will have increased to the point | which should completely ‘free her from the danger of invasion.— Paul | Sfaiion in the Minneapolis Star Jour- nal.

The Spirit In Britain

German _ Brutalities Result In Stiffening The Morale

Perhaps the following may serve to illustrate the spirit in which those who have so terribly suffered ir re- cent air raids take their sufferings. I was visiting a large hospite! in which’ many air raid casualties from Southeast London have been re- ceived. 1 was with a father, a man about 40, whose child had just died. Another, seriously injured, was also in the hospital. While I was with him he received the news that his wife and remaining three children were also dead. When, a little later, before I left him, I asked what he was going to do, this was his reply— “Do? Why, join up to-morrow’— I do not think, Sir, that this is an isdblated case, but is rather typical of the spirit which the Ger- man brutalities are arousing, increas- ingly, in ali classes of the commu- nity.—Bishop Golding-Bird in the London Times.
