uuered enemies to foment trouble again.
OF course the flyers are realistic enough to
know that somebody will have to work on
the ground. too. As they see it, the Allied
occupation authorities, even after turning
over civil authority to local officials, will
have to keep inspectors in practically all of
the large plants which might turn surrepti-
tiously to making the tools of war, and will
also have to send inspecting parties around
regularly But as they see it, the strong
arm behind these men - the quick,
sure arm of q determined modern world
- will be in the air.
FLYERS who helped bomb Berlin, Ham,
burg, Schweinfurt, and other cities, or who
have flown over them on reconnaissance
and seen the destruction, are firmly con-
vinced that thoroughgoing punitive raid
on an erring city or factory will do more to
keep a nation from starting war all over
again than all the Leagues of Nations ever
dreamed up. But, as one earnest young
bomber pilot put it 1T will have to be done
quick - not postponed for lot of diplo-
matte palavering like Munich"
Obviously, any such world police force
would have to be carefully set up and direct
ed, either as fully-internationalized force
or as one made up of groups from the various
peace-loving countries working together.
As far as the airmen are concerned that is a
question for the diplomats and planners to
answer. But whatever the decision on that
point. they insist that the airplane today
offers the only sensible method of covering
the world in the smallest possible time and
with the smallest possible number of men.
