Planes Stop Invasion From Sea

On the other hand the airpane has immensely
increased the power of defense against invasion by
sea, making it practically impregnabe if the sea is
wide enough there are land-based planes
enough. And the radio has increased the power
of propaganda.
The United Nations have now closed iron
rings around the European and the Asiatic Axis
members. But both still have tremendous powers
of defense through powerful armies with interior
lines of communication and air and submarine
protection from overseas invasion. Japan has, in
addition great naval strength
With the occupation by the United Nations Of
bases in North Africa and the Pacific with the
growth of our naval, air and ground strength, the
rings around them grow closer and closer But for
some time to come the war is obviously a war of
aggressive attriton, and the creation of conditions
favorable for major combat blows. That attrition
is Just as vital on the home front as on the mill

IT'S q Race of Exhaustion

Movement is restricted. Rationing. price and
wage restrictions are inevitable. RECOMMENDATION
becomes steadily more OnerOus and economic die
tatorship grows increasingly as war goes on.
On the spiritual side grief stretches into
every family; emotions become more fragile and
intolerant; criticism, freedom of speech become
more and more frozen.
All these forces are multiplied in civilians by
terror of attack from the air and destruction of
their industries.
In the end the multiplication of civilian hard
ships-in some degree universal to all nations
becomes a race between them toward exhaustion.
The Germans are in the fourth year of war. We
have had one year.
And in this race of exhaustion, the home front
of the greatest staying power, of the greatest
resources, of the greatest will to endure and fight
is vast support to the military arm.
The weak home front becomes disintegrat
ing liability to its military arm That was the case
of the Allies versus the Central Powers in 1913.

his appraisal of the giobai tDar.)

attacks or even through propaganda. There are
implacable internal forces which contribute.
Experience both in the last war and in this war
shows that after certain period steady economic
degeneration sits in on the home fronts Of all
nations engaged in total war.
In the earlier years the military strength Of
each nation grows steadily. Production of arms
increases. But at some stage, probably about two
years, the military strength reaches its maximum
size and from there on it diminishes. Likewise, at
some point industrial production reaches its
zenith
Even more rapidly than armies waste away
after their zenith the industrial machinery, the
resources and the productive capacity of the
civilian population wear down.
On the home fronts of all nations, shortages in
food and other consumption goods grow progress
sively due to diversion of manpower. Armed men
consume more than when they were civilians The
people must work longer and longer hours at
harder and heavier labor.

Sea Battle
Brings Subs,

By CAPT. JOHN II. CRNGE

written E.reciar, Cor Int1 >ews service
THE STORY of the battle
in Arctic snowstorms between
British destroyers and cruis-
ers and Nazi surface raiders
for a munitions convoy bound
for Russia highlights the ar
rival Of winter at sea, most
favorable season for raids
against ocean-horne COM
merce.
Fogs and storms Of winter
favor submarine warfare and
make operations by surface
commerce destroyers possible.
In these days Of airplane
observation, surface raiders
can take to the sea without
inviting almost sure destruo-
ton only when visibility is cut
down almost 10 nil, as the
Graf Spec and the Bismarck
found 10 their cost.
Reports in naval circles
have indicated for some time
that considerable groups of
NaZi destroyers, cruisers and
one or more pocket battle
ships were concentrated in
Norwegian hsrbors not far
from the sea lanes to North
Russian ports. These were
beaten off successfully in their
first raid, but others will
follow.
BACK OF these compara-
lively light forces looms the
menace Of Germany's monster
new dreadnaught. the Won
Tirpitz, also reported on Nor
wegian station, and the two
fast battleships, Scharnhorst
and Won Gneisenau, any or all
of which might be sent run
ming amuck among conveys al
any time.
Surface vessels such as
these offer deadly menace to
vital United Nations ocean
transportati IN. as do Nazi air
plane bombers. But far and
away the greatest enemy TO
{ the cargo boats on which vic
tory over the Axis depends
is the submarine, and ideal
weather for the undersea
boats comes also from De-
cember. 10 March.
In the mists and gales of
winter it is almost impossible
to detect a submarine running
awash, while to spot a peri
scope is a hopeless task.
Travelling on the surface
In stormy weather, submarine
; wolf packs can run rim & s
ar6nnd all but the fastest
nefehant ships, keeping ahead
of them in the daytime and
attacking night after night.
! pESTROYERS AND cor
vettes, the submarines worst
surface enemies, work under
a terrible handicap during the
winter months. These slim,
high-speed scooters of the
deep take a tremendous
pounding in heavy weather.
while the U-boat can escape
the worst storms by submerg-
Ing to 100 feet or more, where
calm always reigns.
Not only are the U-boat's
surface enemies handicapped
by winter weather, but enemy
airplane observers are practi-
caily blindfolded.
: Bad weather often grounds
shore based airplanes for days
at a time. Even moderate
storms make il impossible for
observation planes to take off
from the fight decks Of the
sirplane carriers of convoy
escorts.
When scouting planes are in
the air, submarine command
ers can usually hear their
motors and dive long before
the undersea boat can be
