Just as the failure of Poland's de-
tense plan undermined morale, the
success of Finland's well-organized
plan of defense has given tremen-
dous encouragement to the army,
the people and the government. But
the success of the German blitzkrieg
against Poland and the failure of
Russia's blitzkrieg against Finland
depended primarily on the differ
ence between the attacking armies.
The German army was well organ
lied, well equipped, well directed.
The Russian army is poorly organ
lied, poorly equipped and suffers
from bad generalship. a.
Western Lines Invulnerable.
Already Finland's Mannerheim
line has withstood an overwhelming
Russian assault for, more than three
months. It is apparent, therefore,
that the much more completely or
ganized and much deeper Maginot
and Siegfried lines would be SINH
larly invulnerable to attack. And
whereas Russia has a superiority of
something like 20 to ! against Fin
land, the forces lined up on both
sides Of the French frontier are
practically equal in fighting strength.
In considering the progress of this
war, we are too much inclined to
dwell on military factors Yet dur
ing this first half-year the military
front has been less important than
the diplomatic front and the eco
nomic front. There has even been a
more continuous exchange of am
munition on the propaganda front
than between the fighting armies
themselves.

& ents to talk to one another inces-

Nazis Stress U-Boat Warfare.
But raiding with surface ships is
a minor factor in Germany's sea
warfare against Britain and France.
The Germans remembered how
close they came to forcing deci-
sion with their submarines during
the World war. They had from go
to rs submarines ready when the
war began. For the first few weeks
of the war, they used these to ex-
cellent advantage. =
Then the protective measures
which Britain developed during the
World war and since, became effec-
tive. The larger ships were sent
out in convoy; airplane patrols were
created; minefelds against subma-
rines were established and all the
resources of the British navy were
modified against the U-boats.
On the whole, they have proved

have lost $50, 900 tons of merchant
ships. At the same time, the French
lost rs, 900 tons and the neutrals $780,
600 tons. This makes a total of
little over 100000 tons.
Losses Not Important.
But nothing in these losses pro-
duced by mines and submarines
even suggests the possibility of a
decisive result. The British mer-
chant marine alone totals 81 ,000,0 900
tons. The British claim that de-
Quoting from their losses purchases
and new construction, their net loss
in six months of warfare has been
less than 200. 900 tons. It is also
probable that the losses will de-
crease rather than increase, since
at sea as well as on land defense is
proving itself stronger than attack.
Already submarine torpedoes are
far less successful in destroying
shipping than mines. The new mag

Enemies Stalemated After 6 Months
Because Defense Outshines O4ense

At THE end of the first six
4 \ months of war we find that
the major belligerents have
not yet begun to fight, while the
major neutral powers have be-
gun to fight for peace. Small
wonder that the late Senator
Borah called this "phoney"
war.
Only in Finland is there a
major military effort and
mighty Soviet Russia does not even
admit that she has gone to war
against little Finland. When the war
began no one expected Soviet Rus
STA to participate in military opera
tons and no one expected Finland
to be invaded. On the other hand,
everyone expected an immediate
afraid by hundreds Of bombing
planes on the capitals of Europe,
and for weeks the headlines spoke
of the coming big offensives on the
Maginot and Siegfried' lines. Neither
the raids nor the offensives devel-
oped during the first half-year of
fighting. Why?
Defense Is Major Factor.
The primary reason is that in
modern war, defense is stronger
than offense. The war in Spain
showed the world that air attack
on large cities is tremendously de-
structive, but it also showed that it
is not likely to be decisive. The ex-
pense in planes, fuel, bombs and
aviators who do not return is apt to
offset the military advantages
gained in any mass bombing flight.
And the effect on neutral opinion of
the killing of thousands of women
and children, together with the de-
struction of historic monuments in
cities far away from any actual
lighting zone, might well be disas-
trous.
The fear of such wholesale air.
raids led France and Britain to sur
render at Munich. Now, after a
year and a half of additional inten-
sive preparation for air-defense, they
no longer fear German attack. They
are prepared to meet it and could
make it so costly that it would prob
ably not be repeated. The success
full defense of the Mannerheim line
against the most highly concentrate
ed Soviet military effort showed the
strength of defense Notifications in
modern war.
Why Poland Was Weak.
The two great surprises of this
war SO far have been Poland's weak
ness and Finland's strength. Po-
lands weakness arose from a lack
of national unity and domination of
the illiterate masses by an aristo-
cratic caste. In the larger sense,
the government of Poland was nei-
