paign with the invasion of
Russia by Napoleon must be
carefully analysed. Napoiecn's
greatest obstacle was the lack
OF speed In transportation.
To-day the airplane, the tank.
the motor truck, have changed
the picture completely.
ITO carry the comparison
further, Napoleon was also ham
pered by an inability TO strike
at England while the English
navy dominated the seas. To-
day The afrplane warfare has
erased much Of that advantage.
while England has tradi-
tionally-and geographically

of Europe, il seems to me that
Germany is both geographically
and psychologically situated to

Geography FdUOrS

Iindbergh leaned across tn,
table and made a rough sketch OF
my note paper as he went on:
see here. how the seacoast
runs. With German control OF
virtually the entire continent,
her air bases form "A semicircle
with the British Isles In the
center. In other words. England
is susceptible 10 attack by air
from every angle.
German planes need only TO
cross the channel To strike an
objective say. I'm London. Eng
lish planes must not only cross
the channel. but fiy hundreds Of
miles in some Instances into the
interior of Germany to find their
targets.
with that geographical sit
uation 1000 German planes
would have superiority over
1000 English planes. But we
must remember. i'm addition,
that England hasn't equal air
strength with Germany, or any
thing like it,"
Is he pro-Nazi? In view OF hi
regard for the German war ma
chine. ! asked him if ne believe!
that a totalltarian form Of govern
ment was more efficient and de
slrablc than our democracy.
lie replied
Not for this country and
certainly not in time of peace.
The totalitarian form il built
for war. Our democracy il built
for peace and progress. Ii has TO
strain itself To become geared
for war, hut we have yet To see
how NaZism can gear itself TO
peace. The great test Is whether
