planes, compared with the results
OF the last war. Anticipated ef-
fects OF air raids on civilians have
not been sustained by the attack on
Paris, which gives the first reliable
large scale date for analysis since
the beginning Of the war.
II the Germans can do no better
In future air operations against
civilians than they accomplished IN
their assault on Paris, the expected
terrorizing effect Of air bombing
against civilian centers will have TO

Germans have been credited with

against Paris shows no basis for any
such claim.
Had Plenty Explosives
In the Paris raid, between 200 and
$50 planes are said TO have partici-
pated, the largest carrying one ton
OF explosives each. A conservative
estimate would give 200 planes ac-
lively engaged with an average OF
one half ton OF bombs each, or a
total OF 100 tons OF explosives drop
ped on Paris and the suburbs. Yet,
the French casualties were only 45
dead and i49 wounded, The total
casualties thus equals less than one
for each German plane, a trivial
number when compared with the
German accomplishment in the last
war.
During the whole OF the World
War German aviators dropped a to-
tai OF only "a tons OF bombs over
England. Yet the casualties were
857 killed and 2,O58 wunded. That
