If, evqr the! weak-kneed Gerinan clvili- ah population ,is to qe goaded into kicking against the Hitler regime it will have to bejdone by bombing them.in- discrimihatply. ; .There is!no other way. Some bf the critics of this iwlicy say; “The more you bomb them; the more they will [harden theh- hearts: and resist. Is not that-the case; with us? Are we thelmore -ready to sub for peace because o f Hitler’s onslaught ; on London ? It will [be the same' with the Germans.” . I do nbt endorse this argu­ ment. The Germans are not only of a different mental! make-up from us but one pnd all they [are bullies. Hit the bully where it hurts and he begins to squeal. This war [will either, be fought to at military conclusion or it will end in the collapse of the whole Nazi edi­ fice. If the former we ijre-booked for the next five or ten years: If the latter for as many months. It follows then that W'e must smash all, GermanY to bits irrespective of how many civilians we kill—the more the, better Since if i this war is not to be repeated in twenty,


the side-shows i automatically, whether they extend North, South, East oy West. Japan is already beginning to wish she was well,but of the Nazi clutches. She finds that after all Roosevelt' means business; he has called her bluff. Apart from other considerations Japan has bitten off mqre than she can chew in China, and is in no ppsition serioUsl; to extend her war operations. ‘Add ti that she i is dependent [on British ani American sources for up to 95 per ceni of. her war equipment and it! is seer what a mess she^ is in if she comes up against these two! powerful democracies!

Theri we have 'Spain. Not yet has Franco given the one word thaj; will Join. Spain iii the[ fray. He may’ have done so by;the time thlsiappears in print, but I'doubt it.

For Prance yes, quite to irder, though obviously the French nitlon is hope­ lessly/divided. Biit there is no reason to truckle to Petato and laval, who are as much at war wlth,8ri -ain as Hitler himself without having d iclared it.
