BY WILLIAM L. WHITE

CoPENHAGEN-Some time In
not % very many weeks the Mani
bombers are scheduled TO cut loose
and really give England the works.
I have only recently come from
Finland. country about the same
area and general shape a. Eng
land-thst Is, II was before the
peace treaty forced upon her by
Russia-snd during my stay in
Finland l was bombed q great
deal. and ! am in position to tell
you something about this subject.
The British are very fond Of as
surfing each other that they are q
bulldog race. with lots Of endur-
snce and staying power and dog
ged courage. but for the purposes
of this argument let's whittle
them down to size and assume
that. aside from the sdjectives
they use In praise Of themselves.
they are probably pertty much like
anybody else; namely. that they
run when they are scared and
holler when they are hurt. and on
this conservative, Debated inven-
tory valuation OF their noble
qualities Of heart and soul. let Us
see how they will make out when
the fun really starts.
The Maxi have what all hands
agree is the biggest air force in
the world and much of 1t is also
the best. They estimate they can
send a thousand bombers a day
over England.
Now this sounds like lot, and
no doubt you are justified in shak-
ing in your shoes at the thought of
it, and no doubt the English are
justified in whetting up their cour-
age and bracing themselves at the
prospect.
Only 1t happens that I was in
Finland at period when the Rus
SLAMS were sending over 500 bomb
ers q day. The Russians do not
have the best air force In the
world, but 1t Is certainly well up
In the grade b class-their bombs
land with just rs loud a pop and
blow you just as high As any
bombs in the world. and none Of
the people who received any Of
this merchandise from the air
have made any complaint as to its
quality.
l do not claim that being In q
country which Is receiving the
delicate attentions of 500 bombers
q day is any fun. but during all
that period life somehow went on
and the trains ran. and meals got
eaten, and a number Of girls got
kissed, and even II you doubted
the dose of bombers, bringing 1t
up to the amount which the Eng
lish will have to take from the
Germans, It still would be endur-
able, over even a long period Of
time.
Finland, before the peace treaty,
was about the size Of England,
but 1t is 4 lot easier to hit from
the adjacent Russian air bases
than England will be, even II the
Germans occupy Holland and oper-
ate from there. because there is
still the North Sea to cross. COM
ing and going.
Now. am much sorrier for the
Firms than the tone Of this piece

Fuller Barnes May Be
 Named COP Chairman
Bristol Resident Is Former State Senator Ill Health, However, May Prevent Him From Accept
 ing the Position
BY JACK AMMAN

(OuItGU GEOSS SS0AA OVAACoPVhWShV
 Bristol, Conn.,, March 1-(UP)-- Fuller Barnes, former state senator and chairman of the board of the Associated Spring Corp, has been offered the chairmanship of the Republican state central committee to succeed Benjamin E. Harwood, 1t was learned today. Barnes now is vacationing in Florida and word whether he will accept the position when Harwood quits was awaited by leading Connecticut Republicans. Harwood, who led the party to it's first victory in eight years in 1888, has indicated he will not remain as chairman after May.
 Barnes, a leading local industrial ist for years, has not been in good health for some time, and reports were this may induce him to turn down the opportunity to head the committee.
 When Harwood insisted to Re- publican leaders he definitely want ed to retire this spring, Barnes was suggested "as an ideal man to head the committee"
 The industrialist represented Bristol in the State Senate for two terms a decade ago and has been a member of the Bristol town com mittee for some time.
 At Hartford, meantime, it was re- ported all talk of a new chairman was postponed until word from Barnes was available. It was said Clarence Baldwin, Woodbridge Har- woods assistant on the committee and generally referred to as vice chairman, twas not interested" in taking over the chairmanship.
 Informed quarters said party split still existed between the Sc" called "old guard" and the faction headed by Gov. Raymond E. Bald- win and National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr. these sources stressed the need of a compromise" man as chairman to bring the fac- tions together for the fall cam paign.
 Harwood was being pressed to re- main through the campaign but ii was understood he insists on quit ting this spring.
