CAN THE NAILS BLOW UP
HALF THE GLOBE?

The plane was flying so high
that only q few people saw it.
And when the bombs that it
dropped struck it was doubtful If
anyone in the city heard the ex-
plosion. For that explosion was
so tremendous and all-inclusive
that in a fraction Of second the
entire community had been wiped
from the face Of the earth.
This Is the sort Of destruction
that scientists and novelists have
often envisioned as taking place In
some future war. BY and large, 1t
has had little foundation in actual
ity. The possibilities of inventing
new explosives out Of known ma
&erials have been discounted as be-
ing so remote as almost to be out
Of the question. The only chance
seemed to be in tapping some new
and frightful source of energy-as
in the favorite scientific fantasy
in which the atom Is broken up and
a cupful of water made to generate
enough power to drive a steamer
across the Atlantic.
Now the Germans are claiming,
although not in so many words,
that they have developed some such
phenomenal new instrument Of de
struction. It is, Of course, part Of
the propaganda campaign promis-
ing retaliation for British and
American air raids. For the mo-
ment, it is obviously intended to
bolster the morale Of badly shaken
people. And as such 1t has not been
taken seriously by the Allied public.
However, a number Of perculiar
circumstances coupled with this
boast give it a deeply serious sig
nlflcance-so serious that perhaps
the world should prepare for the
last stage of the war to unleash
terror beyond present comprehen-
sion.
The first circumstance Is that AL
lied leaders expect new forms of
war to be developed and have said
so. Churchill was most explicit. In
the same speech in which he told
of the NaI rocket-glider-bomb Can
effective but not decisive weapon) I,
he warned: 1T may be that the
Germans are developing other
weapons on novel lines with which
they hope to do US damage" Then
he underlined the importance Of
this otherwise rather uninforlna-
tive statement by referring to the
prolonged, careful examination be-
forehand that we have given to
these possibilities"
Another circumstance stems from
the reported blowing up last spring
of German electrochemical plant
at Rjukan in Norway This plant
was supposed to be manufacturing
"heavy water" substance eX-
tremely useful in atom cracking.
Still another was the Raj raid last
August in which 1880 tons of bombs
were lavished on q German re-
