Sir Gerald Campbell
Defends Bombings
Before Federal Bar

Allied policies with regard t
widespread aerial bombardment o
German cities were defended yes.
terday in speech before the Fed.
eral Bar Association by Sir GeralC
Campbell, British Minister in Wash.
ington and special assistant to the
British Ambassador in the United
States.
Sir Gerald referred to the recent
criticisms of the Allied policy by
the Bishop of Chichester and the
former Archbishop of Canterbury
who deplored the wholesale oblit.
Grafton of German cities and de-
struction Of monuments.
Question of Duty.
ITO those who dislike our present
tactics Sir Gerald said, I'VE car
only say that the use of military
wars is distasteful to any civilized
state. Any decent cultured people
who believe in the rights of the in
dividual. the welfare of their ma
ton or the teaching of their relig-
ion will make every effort to avoid
entering into war with another
state.
But when murderouS law
breaker, who revels in his repeatedly
broken bonded word, starts to race
down some quiet main street loosing
off his guns, there can be no ques-
ton as to what is the duty of the
policeman. He must stop that man
and shoot to kill him even at the
risk of hitting onlookers."
Sir Gerald observed that it was
"ironical' that debate over Allied
bombardment policy should be held
in a country whose churches and
human dwellings have suffered SO
terribly from the barbarous methods
instituted by the men of Berlin"
Praises Co. ordination.
He described coordination be-
tween British and American forces
In the air war over Europe as "won-
derful." When the battle from
Britain begins with still more
strength, many of your sons and
ours will owe their lives to the
supremacy which they are gaining
in the air." the British Minister
said.
The coming of spring reminds us

that seven times Hitler has shown
himself the master of spring offen-
sives, and that since 1885 he has
planned political and military sur
prises for this season, Sir Gerald
observed, pointing out that not until
last spring did I'VE begin to take
the initiative away from him"
This year" he said, our hopes
are higher than ever before as we
are borne forward in our growing
strength against a foe caught
up in the momentum of his crimes" /"
Sir Gerald, whose topic was
Morality and Legality" was intro
duced as speaker at the luncheon
meeting by Miss Marguerite Rawalt,
president of the Federal Bar Asso-

TVMELIEST job in the garden
Il an the first moderately
comfortable day is the annual
one of pruning grapes. Many
readers wrote last year asking
directions for this task but
most of them thought Of doing
IT far too late in the season.
Grapes must be pruned before
the sap starts 20 rise-and that
means m February.
The principles involved in
pruning must first be mastered
before a pruning shears is even
touched. Grapes are borne only
on wood that grows during the
current season from buds on
last years wood. SO il is ncccs-
Sary TO leave some buds on the
old wood 10 form this year s
fruit BEARING vines. Everything
else should be discarded.
