WAR OUTMODEs
INTERNATIONAL LAW

ONE idea of how out-of-date IN
" ternational law has become can
be gained by check on the laws
of war as they affect the opera
ton of military and naval aircraft.
The Hague conference of 1922
8 made some broad congratulations
that the laws affecting surface
craft should also apply to aircraft.
But international law as 1t applies
to the sinking of merchant ships
specifies that war vessels can de-
termine the character of merchant
ships only by visit and search. and
that the true character of a mer-
chant ship must be determined
and provision made for the safety
Of crew and passengers before
sinking. Determining the true
character usually means an exam
nation of the crew list, passenger
list, clearance papers. log and
cargo manifest.
OF course it's impossible for an
airplane to do any of those things
For a plane to radio merchant
captain TO abandon his ship would
be dead giveaway Of the plane
position, and make II an easy tar
get for anti-aircraft guns.

IGNORANT OF FUTURE
PLANS OF HITLER

I'VE are in complete ignorance
OF what Hitler is going to do" the
prime minister explained in refer
ence to failure Of the British to in
wade the continent Mt present.
The prime minister painted the
brightest picture that he had been
able TO give the British people
since Dunkirk. but he tempered
this with emphasis on the danger
of all out German blows In new
directions in the coming months.
I'VE do not know how far
Hitler will attempt 10 pene-
trate the vast lands of Russia
In the face of valiant Russian
defense or how long his people
will endure their own tre-
mendous losses or, again,
whether he will decide To
stand ON the defensive and ex-
plot the territory of immense
value which he has con-
quered," Churchill said.
We don't know whether he will
turn part of his vast army south
ward toward the valley of the Nile
or If he will make his way through
Spain into Northwest Africa or
whether. using the great CONT
mental railways of Europe and an
immense chain of air fields. he
will shift the weight OF his army
for an intensive invasion OF the
British Isles. 1t will certainly be
In his power. while standing on
the defensive in the cast, To under
take all three OF these hazardous
enterprises on a great scale"
In the course of his speech,
Churchill said:
British shipping losses in the
battle of the Atlantic were re-
duced in July, August and Sep
TENDER one-third OF the total OF
the previous three months and
Britain (aided by the American
patrol system) is confident that
the expected intensification of u
boat warfare can be defeated.
Axis sea losses have been increased
100 per cent in the last three
months.
BRITAIN will not hesitate TO
bomb Rome If the needs of
war dictate such action in connec-
ton with current heavy aeria
