TIME NEEDED

In the news recently there was a striking
illustration of the point made by CHARLES F.
KErrER1Nc, vice president of General Motors in
charge Of research. at the New York Worlds
Fair.
In any program of building for national de-
tense, Mr.. KErTER1Ne said, the time factor
must be taken into consideration. The actual
lem, but getting ready to produce them takes
time. The plant must be available, the tools
must be on hand for the particular job, sup
plies OF materials must be adequate and con-
~tinuous. 1t should be added that the skilled
operatives to man the plant must be assembled,
too.
A later dispatch from Washington en-
phasized his point. 1t was anno~cnced that the
Ford plant is getting ready TO- produce an
American version of the British Rolls-Royce
are to be ordered for the army This motor
will be used instead Of the excellent Allison
motor, an American design, because it can be
produced in quantities quickly.
The decision is undoubtedly the right one,
but the reasons for it are interesting. Ford
engineers are familiar with the British engine
because FORD plants have produc ed it in Eng
land. Studies have been under way at Dear
born for some time because ne gotiations to
fill a British order was going forward. It is
to be noted that q contract for 5000 engines
has now been let, and that the RoRr people
expect to have them coming off the, line early
next year." .
1t takes time to get ready for mass produc.
ton. We cannot afford to forget that. Nor
can we afford to delay our start for it on an
unprecedented scale. '

LACK OF VISION

Frances overthrow, as we'll as 1t can be ap-
praised now, was due chiefly to the fact that
the German general staff was mentally more
alert, more imaginative, and quicker to realize
the possibilities of their military machine.
Tremendous as was the German advantage in
the air and in mechanical divisions, 1t was to
this superiority of vision that the Nazi con.
quest owed its swift completion. This is the
plausible conclusion Of JOHN ELL1oTT, express
ed in a wireless dispatch from Bordeaux.
Mr.. ELLIOTT says that the Germans had de-
veloped absolutely novel military tactics which
caught the French by surprise. The French
general command could have foreseen what to
expect II 1t had read the correct answer to the
Nazi blitzkrieg in Poland, but in that cam.
paign it was the unfortunate position Of the
French that the collapse of Polish resistance
was due to the backwardness Of the Poles
organization.
Yet, It appears, France had heard of the pos.
sibilities Of tank warfare long before HITLER
developed it. Gen. CHARLES DE GAULLE, former
undersecretary Of war in the REYNAUD ministr.
visioned 1t as early as 1884. The brilliant
DE GAULIE predicted what would be the de-
cjsive role Of motorized and armored divisions
acting independently OF the main army in the
next European war. He advocated the forma
ton of such corps in the French army, urging
that by being entirely self-supporting they
would be able too destry the enemy's com
munications, attack his armies from the real

TRAINING FOR SERVICE
Christian Science Monitor

Responses to President Roosevelt'a suggestion
Of a training program for youth in connection
with national defense are many and varied.
Probably judgment should be suspended until
the plan takes specific form. But the general
subject is one on which Americans should be
endeavoring to formulate their best Thought.
Mr.. Roosevelt says the plan conternplates not
alone military training, but also preparation Tor
noncombatant services and industrial occupa-
tons necessary to defense, and that 1t prooaoiy
would include young women as we'll as men.
Does this signify ian attempt to regiment the
youth Of this country into labor oattalions,' as
former Governor ALI M. Landon and John L.
Lewis, C. I. o. leader, thought at Rh1laoeipnla!

and on the TANKS sand oveITun enemy terri
tory. REYNAup found merit in DE GAu1LE's
plans, but the advice Of the imaginative young
was disregarded by the older and more
conservative army men Of france, who still
thought in terms of the last, Wor'1 wal, thu
of position, and relied on trenches ant
works to defend France. Needless Il
point out that it was the use Of these yer.
divisions that brought about tn
fall of France. The attempt to Mechanic tn
French army was made too tate.
Mr.. ELLIOTT continues:
Tanks and a%irplanes alone in adequate
quantities could deal with these mechan-
lied German units. Unfortunately, however,
the bulk of the French mech anized units
some nine d~ivisions-had been sent into
Belgium and cut off by the German break
through at Sedan. Although 10000 OF
these French soldiers escapted capture by
the heroic defense Of the en- trenched camps
at Dunkerque, almost the entire material
of these mechanical divisions, including
vast quantities OF heavy artillery and
tanks, was destroyed.
Consequently, when the German drive
on Paris began, the French did not have
enough tanks to halt it. Deprived o two
fifths of his forces, Gen. WEYaAND had to
oppose the German onslaught on an i'm.
provised Somme-Aisne front with what re-
manned Of his French army and two Brit
ish divisions. The Allies were outnumber-
ed by the Germans by about three to one.
France failed to learn its lesson in time
There is no reason, however, for this nation t.
be as blind. The blit1krieg is no longer Z
mystery. Germany has no mysterious weapon
1t has merely a new system Of waging war,
system which can be defeated If confronted b!
equal forces better armed, better trained, ant
equipped with its own type oc machines on

HITLER is not invincible. If he is not de
