for some time and the new order
will carry 1t on to consumers, Mr..
Goddard pointed out.
Refers to WPB Order.
He referred to a War Production
Board order establishing for process
sors of canned goods and distribu-
tors an eight-month basic period
ending last August. The order held
the Gamers and wholesalers to 10
per cent of basic amounts of ra-
toned canned goods up to April l.,
1913. Between August and De-
cember / they could have IS per
cent of this 10 per cent, and the
other IS per cent between December
! and April l. This. of course, had
the effect of limiting retailers to
these amounts of new purchases
If, for instance, a distributor had
100 per cent of his eight-month
quota between August /, 1912, and
April l, 1913, amassed and he al
ready had delivered so per cent of it,
he could deliver only 20 per cent
more-the rest of the goods would
be frozen.
Mr.. Goddard said reports to the
institute indicated the volume of
canned goods on hand, among both
wholesalers and retailers, had fallen
of in the last 80 to so days.

BOMBERS ALONE
ARE NOT ENOUGH

Bombers can't win the war
They can help immensely. They can
swing the balance of power one way or
another. But they cannot win, alone.
In the current wave of enthusiasm for
air power, following Americas Coral sea
and Midway victories, 1T Is we'll TO re-
member that weakness in one place Is
weakness every place, when war Is be-
ing fought. We must not let our sudden
national awakening to the Importance OF
air power allow us to weaken other forces
which, in the final analysis, are Just as
important.
War Correspondent Harold Guard, in
a dispatch in this newspaper yesterday,
pointed out effectively the fallacy Of de-
pending upon bombers alone. Since hlS
dispatch passed through Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's staff headquarters before
being relayed, it is to be assumed that
the conclusion was not entirely the cor
respondents but has developed out of
the actual experience of the fighting
men.
Guard reported the big Allied raids
from Australia on Japanese invasion
bases, the excessive damage wrought by
these raids, and then noted that IN spite
of the damage, these bases still remain
ed q Qe1ln1ue threat 10 AuSlTdlld Iley
can be wiped out eventually, he said, only
by ground troops, covered from the air
by both bomber and fighter planes.
His conclusions are completely logical.
Like so much that is logical, they are
apt to be overlooked by a lot of us in
our enthusiasm of the moment
Brought down to its simplest form,
the fact is this: bombers can level city
to the ground, but the city will not be
captured until land forces are establish
ed there. Bombers can wipe out battle
ships, but neither bombers nor battle
ships can occupy enemy territory-it
takes the land armies to do that.
So, while we're paying honors to the
air force and keeping an eye on our plane
output, let US not forget that the sur
face fighters-the infantry, the artillery,
the engineers, the tank corps and all the
rest-are just as important to the victory
we must ultimately win.
They're the boys who take hold and
hang on.

AMERICAN PLANES
The use of combination fighter
bombers in the African fighting
was mentioned for the first time
in a communique today. 1t added
that the American made CurtisS-
Kittyhawks were performing in the
new role,
The fast fighters were said to be
especially effective in low level
bombing against armored trans
ports and tanks. Their use in the
dual capacity was reported to have
speeded up the British offensive
aerial action. Once their bomb loads
are released the Kittyhawks swing
into action as fighters.
The communique said that on the
night of July heavy bombers,
which may have included United
States Army air corps planes, made
a large scale raid on Tobruk, on
the Libyan coast, while medium
bomberS attacked. the enemy's rear
