Portent of Budapest


fore last is another significant step
In the United Nations air offensive
against the Axis. Capital and me-
tropolis of Hungary, Budapest rises
on the middle Danube, deep in the
heart of dominated Europe.
Nine hundred miles from London as
the crow flies, nearly 1000 miles from
Moscow and 1900 miles from Anglo
American bases in Egypt, it is as safe
as any Axis city can be from air at
tack. Due to this fancied security,
munitions factories had been shifted
thither wholesale from more exposed
regions and bomb shocked refugees
were domiciled there to heal their
frayed nerves
Yet, in the dark hours between last
Friday and Saturday, Budapests
aerial immunity was broken by the
drone OF high-f1ying planes, the bark
Of anti-aircraft guns and the crump
of falling bombs. Where the bold
raiders came from is not yet officially
disclosed. But the very fact that
they may have been either British or
Russian indicates the nutcracker ma
ture of the aerial offensive which,
during the past month, has smitten
key objectives throughout the far
flung Axis area. British bombers,
ranging far beyond their accustomed
targets in Western or Southern Ger
many, have plastered the port OF
Gdynia, in German occupied Poland,
while almost simultaneously, Russian
long-range bombers wrought havoc
on nearby East Prussia, inland Po-
land and even Berlin, the seat of Nazi
power. Good evidence, this, that no
spot of Axis soil can henceforth deem
itself wholly safe.
1t is noteworthy that these distant
raids were made despite the fact that
the autumn equinox has not yet ar
rived. Long distance raids are IA
vored by period OF darkness cover
ing their round-trip flights over
enemy territory. While the nights
in Northern and Central Europe al
ready are much longer than they
were in midsummer, they are nothing
like what they will be in midwinter,
when they range from fourteen to
twenty hours in length. Both the
British and Russia air marshals have
promised the Axis peoples that those
coming winter nights will be times
of terror such as they have never yet
known. With American air power
rapidly adding its giant strength, the
Allied air offensive is gaining a mo-
mentum which, for the Axis, Is
ominous in the extreme.
From all this, it would be unwise to
Jump to the conclusion that the Axis
soon will be broken by air attacks
alone. But the sustained disorgani-
zation of war production centers and
transportation lines undoubtedly will
be a heavy handicap to the Axis war
effort, while the effects OF wholesale
punishment must gravely strain Axis
popular morale These are important
offsets to the Axis victories on the
eastern front and elsewhere. They
help redress the war balance. And,
when the scales tend toward balance
every added weight In the wavering
scales registers a heavy count.

fall elections might have seemed
politically dangerous to some OF the
politicians. The editors seem to think
that failing to take a stand these

effort is politically fatal. The same

obvious hesitancy in washington to

that the military authorities think
this Is necessary they are more apt
to rebuke those who stand against
1t than those who advocate it.
The people, some OF these editors
reiterate, are far ahead OF Washing
ton In their desire to get on with the
war. They want the big stick used
when anything happens to slow up
the war effort at home. They ad-

The editors believe Washington
should stop worrying too much about
public sentiment. It Is behind any
body who is trying to win the war.
