British Are Out
To OvermaiCh
| German Power!
First Change Noted
When RAF Started
Raids Six Weeks Ago
Today's War Moves
cResist.red I. g Pat. Office
BY UNITED PRESS

Britain's announcement OF the
new Churchill" tank and other
recent developments indicate that
the British are out TO oyermateh
the Germans in offensiy. power.
Military experts contend that
wars are not won merely by match
ing what the enemy has but in
producing more powerful weapons
and more Of them. During the
early part Of the war, the British
seemed to be doing just that, con-
eentrsting on producing defensive
weapons TO meet the highly deyel-
oped striking power Of the enemy.
The first sign Of British
change Of pace was the great
aerial offensive begun by the
r. A. F. SIX weeks ago against
Germany and German-occupied
territory. There can be no ques-
ton that tremendous damage mas
been done IN these day and night
raids and German production and
transport greatly hsmpered-
