THE German robot plane or

orally tagged in the press as a
nuisance weapon. This assign
ment to a secondary place is
justified. Though the device is
ingenious and another proof of
German scientific skill. the man.
ner in which it is being applied
cannot possibly prove decisive.
This is fairly typical Of the
history of German weapons in

Answer to Question No. I

Answer to Question No. I
No. just the opposite. There
is a deep-seated wish that they
had been born boys, or so the
psycho-analysis say.
Answer to Question No. 2
Certainly. 1t is one form of
egotism. and egotism is always
one form of cowardice. The
person who leases another gets
his satisfaction out of feeling
superior to the person he is
teasing II is precisely the
same feeling that a savage
(such as a Jap or NazD gets
out of torturing his victims.
Teasing is Just a mild form of
torture. 1t gives the teaser a
feeling of power and inn
portance.

grateful TO fate for this flaw in
the German military mentality.
Every country. including our
own, is trying to prove that its
own scientists were the FIRST to
invent the robot warplane.
Nearly all Of them are telling
the truth, since the idea has
been familiar to aviation circles
for many years. In this particu-
lar case, Germany has not in

no point in denying that the
Germans were the first to put

IN OUR day and age a really
L new discovery very seldom
occurs. The basic principles OF
important new developments
are known to every one.
Whether this or that nation
acts first to apply those prin-
ciples is often a reflection OF
their needs and their military
philosophy. The self-confidence
of the western nations, and the
conservatism of their military
leaders, held them back in the
matter of technical innovations.
The Germans, it should be
acknowledged, have sprung one
chronological surprise after an
other. Fortunately they have
been backward in the tactical
and strategic application OF
their new weapons as consis-
tently as they have been ahead
in devising them. This in turn
gave us the possibility to neu-
tralize their scientific advantage
through our greater quantity
and better strategy.
IF THE Germans had matched
L their military innovations
with proper strategy. the war
might have ended in their favor
as early as 1910. Had we
directed our cumulative advan-
tages into the proper strategic
channels. the war might have
ended with victory for our side
in 1912. But both belligerent
groups were timid in the ex-
ploitation Of aerial warfare,
thus prolonging the struggle for
years.
The Nazis were the first to
recognize the potentialities Of
modern air power and the first
to build q war machine geared
= for the extensive use of aviation.
Luckily for us, they failed to
envision the new force as a
strategic instrument. concen-
trating instead on the narrow
tactical use of the airplane,
mainly as a dive bomber, to
clsdr a path for the ground
forces.

PEELED from his local B. F. Good

Mr.. Bass said Mr.. Dalrymple was
tried and expelled as local union
member only after trial boaro
found him guilty on nine counts
and the boards custer recommen-
dation was sustained by "a per cent
vote Of the locals membership.
Specific charges were not dis
closed but Mr.. Bass said most OF
them concerned violations of the

He said Mr.. Dalrymple refused to
attend any hearings or to answer
charges.
Mr.. Dalrymple contended the To-
calls action was entirely illegal.
He declared that under URWA reg

would have to be filed with the in

that the local had no right to try
him. He asked the Internationa]

Hu|'s Talk Tonight
May Discuss Allied
Pressure on Sweden
EN The Assnciatac nrasr

| By the Associatec Press
Evidence that the Allies are seek
ing to halt the flow of Swedish steel
and manufactured materials to Ger
many as part of the preinvasion
blockade developed yesterday on the
eve of major statement on Amer
lca's war and postwar foreign policy.
The statement will be made by
Secretary of State Hull in a 45-min-
ute speech at $50 pm. today over
the Columbia Broadcasting System.
1t is expected to be the most specific
and detailed discussion of the op-
Grafton of this country's foreign af-
fairs in many months.
The attitude of the United States
toward European neutrals obviously
offers a fruitful subject for dis
cussion by the Secretary In the
cases of Turkey, Spain. Ireland and
Portugal, the delivate task of swing
ing neutrals to the Allied side of the
war has been one of the main jobs
of American and Allied diplomats
since last winter. The objective is to
rob Germany of all outside eco
nomic props and thus weaken her
resistance.
Only Switzerland appears likely
to escape application of Allied poll
cieS covering neutralS.
The formula was perhaps most
clearly expressed in the case of
Turkey. British and American mil
itary supplies to Turkey were cut
off early this year with the explana-
ton that if the Turks didn't use
the supplies to kill Germans there
was no longer any point in furnish
ing them. Beyond that was the fact
the Turks were still furnishing some
chrome, important steel alloy, to
Germany.
Sweden has been compelled to
supply Germany with steel and steel
products in exchange for coal and
some other supplies. from the out
side world Sweden has obtained
principally grains and oil. The i'm
ports reach her by arrangement
with blockading naval forces of the
belligerent powers.
Of all the neutrals on the rim of
Europe, Sweden has had least op-
portunity for independent action,
which is probably the reason efforts
to cut down her cooperation with
Germany have been delayed so long.
Now, however, it is established on
good authority that considerable at
tention has been given to cutting
Swedish resources from the Ger
mans.

Prayers of q Nation for the dead
and living heroes of Bataan will
come from the hearts of Americans
on this Easter Sunday as the second
anniversary of the surrender on that
bloody Philippine peninsula is OBJ
served.
Throughout the country, thoughts
Of Bataan and the men who fought
there in 1912 will dominate open-air
sunrise services as we'll as religious
ceremonies in hundreds of churches
Special prayers will go up from
homes from which Bataan heroes
are missing-for those who are dead
for other thousands who are in
japanese prison camps, and for still
others who have not been heard
from since the fall Of the peninsula
after three months of bitter fighting
against overwhelming odds.
Similar prayers surely will be said
on the other side of the Pacific
in internment and prison camps
where thousands of American
soldiers and thousands of United
Nations civilians remain in the
hands of the apanese-and in
Filipino homes where the people of
the only Christian nation of the
Orient mourn their loved ones who
fell while fighting under the flag of
the United States.

The beginning of the end on
Bataan came March 81, 1912, as the
Japanese launched a savage drive
against Americas half-starved
disease ridden legions. The enemy
threw fresh shock troops into the
fray. Their air and artillery su-
premacy shattered American supply
lines. Their mortarS and their nava,
guns opened ferocious assault
Their tanks crashed American lines
time and again. The defenders held
momentarily, but in the next few
days were forced to give ground
The japanese threw in fresh reserves
April 7, using shock troops without
regard to casualties.
The end came early on the morn
ing of April g. Along a dusty

Army automobile, white flag flut-
tering from the windshield, carried
the Bataan commander, Maj. Gen

surrender terms and fighting ceased
