FIGHTER FOR FRANCE

Because the people still rule in France, Paul
Reynaud the fighter, who warned his countrymen
against this war, will wage his nations great
est battle against its greatest enemy
Back in 1898 when he was Minister of Justice
and his Cabinet colleagues administering the
political anesthetic to Czechosloyakia preparatory to
the Nazi operation, Reynaud said:
There are some who believe that France could
save peace by surrendering her role in Europe. I
maintain, on the contrary that such surrender would
lead to war. France has the choice between two
policies Either she maintains the balance of power
France abandoned her European alliances at
Munich and when. a consequence the that
Reynaud predicted came about she retreated to the
Maginot Line and has been sitting there ever since
That is why Premier Daladier resigned The vote
in the Chamber Of Deputies was a clear indication
that France done with the waiting Six
months of a do-n nothing policy beginning to
tell on military and civilian morale The break came

Reynaud must not be pictured as either an
impetuous btter-ender or a who will make
wild military gesture to appease the public He

James H. R. Cromwell United States Minister to
Canada is reprimanded by the State Department and
denounced by isolationst congressman.
Cromwell did break the rules diplomatic
envoy Of the United States is not supposed to give
expression to controversial ideas unless his text is
first approved by his superiors in Washington. In
saying, in his Toronto speech that the Allies were
fighting to preserve freedom and that Nazi vic
tory would be world calamity, Cromwell made it
clear that these were his personal views. That
qualification did not him from congressional
wrath which is not entirely disnterested devoted
to the idea of neutrality
Cromwell not only represents the administration,
but also the people of the United States AS the
agent of both he was voicing beliefs that have been
heard before in official circles. President Roose-
velts last speech to Congress January went
far beyond Cromwells remarks in its denuncatory
language Undersecretary Welles talked more
to the point when he addressed the German charge
d'affaires the recall of the German and Ameri-
can Ambassadors in 1888. And as for Cromwells
enunciation of American opinion, Representative
Dinge of Michigan stated it correctly when he said
his expressions are in harmony with 95 percent of
people"
Congressman who fear our involvement in war
because of the Toronto speech are making noun
tain out of moehill Our almost constant verbal
tiff with Germany before the did not bring
Naz retribution Cromwes talk will not do So
especially since two well-armed enemies stand be-
tween the United States and the Third Reich
The appeal to neutrality is hyperbole. There
is neutrality It's congressional devotees, if they
are really concerned, should do something about the
failure of this country to assert its neutral rights
by forbddng its ships to sail to beligerent countries
In of ways this nation violates traditional

If Cromwell resigns and for New Jersey
Senator, as reported, he should win wide public
support Americans will be willing to overlook his
technical violation of diplomatic rules for what

Plans announced today in Lon
don for a new and more intensive
air offense against Germany come
at time when the long winter
nights will give the British avia-
tors an opportunity to demonstrate
their superior training for flying
blind and reaching their targets
in the dark, with trivial losses. Not
until next year will British numer-
ical weakness in planes be suffi-
ciently overcome to allow develop
ment of large scale attacks. Me-
types of long distance and speed
ier bombers and fighters, however
will permit night assaults on scale
much greater than the Germans
have yet experienced.
1t has become q conspicuous fact
during the months OF British night
bombings over Germany that al
most invariably all the British craft
return home safely. Concealment
of the dark is a partial cause OF
| this immunity, but in addition, the
British have made night flying g
highly specialized part OF the train
ing of aviators.
I The Germans scoffed at night
flying before the war, because OF
their overconfidence in the super
ior number Of their planes to de-
moiish the British air force in day
light attacks. Only recently have
the Germans been forced to admit
the futility of preWar reliance on
daylight operations because of their
enormous losses and have had &c

! While no adequate defense against
night air raids has yet been evolv-
ed, the Germans always suffer some
losses, though it is very rare foi
a British plane TO be brought down
over Germany in the dark. Tn
Germans rely almost entirely or
anti-aircraft fire from the ground
TO repel the British airmen while
British attack planes ascend for
night battles because of more skill

manipulation.
