actually exist its importance is mini.
mized here. None OF the revolution
ary inventions" so far has had
telling effect on the prosecution of the
war. The Nazis, who had the best
air and tank force In the world at
the outbreak of the war, were believed
invincible by most specialists" merely
because their opponents lacked similar
instruments Of war.
In the end the German supertank
proved as vulnerable as its much
smaller sister in the World War. Good
fighter planes manned by determined
flyers prevented the collapse of Britain
during the most critical period of the
war between the summer of 1910 and
the spring Of 1941. Neither were the
Nazi super weapons capable Of breaking
down the morale Of the Russians, whose
equipment at one time was far inferior.
y -
Many American officers are inclined
TO compare the new gun with the big
Bertha" the Germans supergun in the
last war which terrified the French
when 1t started firing on Paris with
out much effect a few months before
the collapse Of the German armies.
The new rocket gun might be effec-
tive; 1t might have a more devastating
effect than the Big Bertha, but 1t is not
going to make much difference 50 far
as the final outcome Of the war Is con.

to knock Peter down in London, though
they themselves seemed to be prisoners
Of the Germans. In spite of Hitler they
have, in effect, voted; they have voted
by fighting, they have voted by organiz-
ing. The plain people of Yugoslavia
have turned out to be strong enough
to veto the plans of both their enemies
and their friends. They can control
events in London, even while Hitler is
sitting on them.
In much the same way we have
Rugged and kissed, cherished and ad-
mired the Greek government of King
George. We have recognized it; have
stamped 1t with our great seals, we have
made 1t as legal as Bank of England
note
And nothing could have seemed less
legal or more feeble than the opposition
to King George in Greece. 1t consists
of at least two, maybe three, guerrilla
movements, starved by the Germans and
currently engaged in fighting each other.
But because none of these movements
wants King George back, the same cloud
that hangs over Peters head now hangs
over Georges, too. King George of
Greece has had to promise to abide by
a plebiscite after the war, and Anthony
Eden has expressed his qualification
over this decision. The hungry people
of Greece have held kind of shadow
election, too; and great men Of empire
are yielding to the result of it.

lished as soon as they have been To-
Gated. Allied air superiority In the
west is so formidable that determined
attack should be successful.
II
Although their reported range is very
great, the guns have to be placed on
comparatively narrow area which is
closest to Britain This area extends
from Ostend to Etaples, a distance of
about so miles Of sea coast. If the
guns were placed anywhere else farther
north or south the efficiency of their
charges would be wasted because they
could not hit London, the main OBJ
jective the Nazis seem to have in mind.
While the British naturally are con-
cerned over the possibility OF having
hundreds of tons of explosives hurled
at them from the French coast, 1t has
been suggested that as soon as the
source of the rocket guns is exposed
they can be put out of business.
Although in many quarters the ex-
istence of the new weapon Is regarded
as a piece of Nazi propaganda the
gun can exist from the technical point
OF view. The Germans have a small
rocket gun in their new fighting
planes; they have a radio-controlled
bomb which was used against Ameri-
can and British warships during the
battle for Salerno. Neither weapon,
however, proved particularly successful.
So, while the new rocket gun may

The Wars Lasting Costs

If passed in the same form by the
House, the unanimously approved
Senate measure on mustering-out
pay for veterans of the present war
will cost the Nation an estimated
four billion dollars, with each hon.
orably discharged individual Cup to
and including the rank of colonel in
the Army and of equivalent rank in
the other branches) receiving from
two hundred dollars to five hundred
dollars, depending on length and
locale of service.
It may be that the House, when it
gets around to considering the pro-
posal, will find the Senate scale of
payment too lavish, but the chances
are that there will be no substantial
reduction. In the First World War
our veterans received a fiat cash
bonus of sixty dollars at the time of
their discharge, but virtually every
body would regard such sum as
extremely inadequate for the men
and women now serving in our
armed forces.
Accordingly, whether or not there
is any downward revision in the
scale proposed by the Senate, we
can be reasonbly certain that the
overall mustering-out expenditure
will be we'll up in the billions of
dollars. And that will be but part
of the picture. In addition, congress
sional committees are already ac-
cording attention to a presidential
recommendation to set up a vet

and central groups of German armies,
compelling long detour clear back to
Wilma for shifts of troops and supplies
between these two fronts. In that case,
the Germans would have great difficulty
in maintaining their northern front in
its present position, and German move
which has long been anticipated, a re-
tirement of their left flank along the
shore of the Gulf Of Finland, would seem
to be imperative.
1t is, in fact, questionable whether
the Germans have not stayed too long
in the vicinity of Leningrad and Lake
linen as it is. The Russian offensive
OF this summer and fall steadily has
aimed at the cutting off of the German
southern army group and its encircle-
ment and destruction. This aim the
Russians came near achieving on at least
two occasions, but never quite brought
of. Now they may have decided to
switch their efforts northward and try
to cut off the German northern army
group, separating it from the bulk of
the German armies and showing it back
against the Baltic shore. The capture
Of Polotsk would not wholly achieve this
purpose, but 1t certainly would make
