capitalists and our social ar

such strain. The strain is worse
because we are an island which
lives by it's imports, both Of ma
terial anil food, as a diver lives
by his air tank.
"Finally, it is against us, In
the shape of submarines, that the
really heavy offensive Of the last
few months has been conducted.
It Is we who, therefore, have suf-
fered the most rapidly increas-
ing pressure. Meanwhile, we
have had to improvise vast arm
les and at the same time act as a
main workshop for the whole
west, and that by a spontaneous
and quite novel effort which
those ignorant of our national
character would have thought
impossible. 1t has, indeed, sur
prised ourselves.
Further, we have citizens
(highly national and not without
a certain moral elevation) who
are quite ignorant of the mortal
nature of war and who preach
persistently and rather loudly Of
premature peace. Nevertheless,
we are confident that the nation

highest strategical value. It is,
luckily for the allies, easier to
reach than almost any other
point Of equal Importance behind
the enemy's line. It is only rs
miles from the airdromes when
the allies offensive bombing
planes start. Roughly, that is
only about half the distance from
the airdromes to Mannheim. That
means that half of the weight in
petrol which the planes destined
for Mannheim would have to
carry, is saved in raid on Ire
YES, and in mere mileage it
means that there is much less
than half the risk of being hit by
the anti-aircraft guns on going
or on coming back.
In this matter, by the way the
actual mileage is an insufficient
index of the comparative dang
ers, because the risk obviously
increases more rapidly than the
distance-the time to send warn
ings and to prepare resistance
ahead of the raiding planes being
a function which rises in eff
cheney more rapidly than the ii,
rect trajectory of the flight. The
same is true of the liability to
engine trouble, of the exhaustion
of petrol, etc.
