BRITISH BEST BoMBERS

British Bombing: It's more ac-
curate than German bombing.
Probably reporters from the Brit
ish side aren't the best witnesses
on that score. but we think it's a
fair judgment We can say fatty
that German bombing isn't accur-
ate except on a target many blocks
square like city business district.
/ There are legitimate military tar
gets in and around London. The
Germans have tried and tried to
/ hit them. We've seen them do 1t.
Bombs have landed all around the
targets, but the detectives still
keep functioning. They make
i hits. of course. but their percent
age reads like a pitchers batting
average.
Fires: After some bitter les
sons the British are getting
/ the answer to the fire bomb
menace. When the NaZis rain
down thousands of fire bombs
there will always he some
fires. hut the new defense
measures including watchers
on the roof tops should keep
! things like the great city
/ fire I'm London from being re-
peated.
Italy: The British believe Italy
will be knocked out of Africa un-
less the Germans come to Musso-
hnis rescue. No one knows
whether Italy will be able to pre-
serve her fleet. Naturally, Great
Britain would like to blast the
Italian warships to the bottom so
as to concentrate on the big mem
ace - German attacks on British
sea routes.
Labor: There's still unemploy-
ment and some clashing of gears
in shifting workers into industries
and factories where they're need
ed. So British industry even now
isn't purring like an eight-cylinder
sports roadster. But beside the
pre-September, 1889. high wheel
model. it's whizzinE at a pace
that takes the breath away from
those staid gentlemen you see in
the Punch cartoons.
