Instead, They'd Use
Bomberdment Planes
TO Blast Allied Boats

WASHINGTON. July 6 tINSl
An air offensive against Ger
many as the only possible military
aid 10 Russia was urged today by
Mai Alexander p. De Seversky
author and aviation expert.
Speaking on the American
Forum of the Air. the former Rus
sian army officer declared there is
no basis for believing that an al
tempted lsrge-sesle invasion OF
Germany actually would force Hit
Ter to withdraw a single soldier or
tank from the eastern front.
The Russians. he said, are fight
ing a land war only. He pointed
out that an invasion attempt by
land and sea would involve the
use of equipment totally different
from that being used by Hitler in
Russia.
WOULD ATTACK SHIPS
"To meet the threat of a land
and sea invasion" said De Sc
versky, "the Germans would not
need land forces beyond those
now concentrated I'm the West.
Hitler would seek to drown the
invasion while IL Is still on
water.
.For this purpose he would
need primarily the lombard
ment aviation he has been accu-
mula ting for nearly two years
for the most part, aviation Of
the type that isn't being used In
the Russian campaigns"
In asserting that the Allied Ma
tons should meet the problem
with open eyes" he said a land
and sea invasion would have these
disadvantages:
From 100000 to 10000
Il coo tons of shipping would
be needed 10 transport million
i,diers.
C-The necessity of >concen-
- tratipg somewhere near the
rFea of operations an armada Of
s-cm 1000 to 1000 vessels
which would be target for the
cremy.
WEEKS FOR MANEUvER
In addition. he said, IL would
al;e mot days but weeks TO carry
out the maneuvers."
During that time" he
aided, "the Axis pouid
use all its past air powsr to
sink the whole undertak-
ing before It ever touches
shore.
'Ia short, such an un-
dertoking before zoe haze
a cleorcuf mastery Of the
skies oUer the phols thea
ter of action lDouid mean
immense losses without
giving any substantial re-
lief to the Russians on the
eastern front"
He said that under present con-
ditions the Allied nations had no
alternative but to concentrate on
an about aerial offensive against
Germany proper.
DEMORALIZE ENEMY
Elm that way" he concluded,
1--WE offer true relief TO Russia,
because we help disarm Ger
many by smashing Its industry,
transport and fuel supplies-dis-
organizing and demoraIizing the
enemy.
I'VE must use our industrial
capacity and productive genius
to forge the weapon Of air
power and assume direct control
Of the skies over Europe"
