II President Roosevelt is not interested

they also contend, then why doesn't

AS I see it, the contention that there

Bad News for Berlin
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

1t is likely that the news from Burma
makes very unpleasant reading in the
inner chambers of the great general
staff in Berlin. The reason is not so
much the failure of the much-touted
japanese effort to Invade" India-in
which the hard-headed German officers
can scarcely have had any faith-but in
the use of/air-borne troops by the Allies
in such considerable numbers and with
-appalently-such considerable success.
Inc Germans are we'll aware of
what air-borne troops can do They
showed that in the battle of Crete.
But to find that their opponents, with
resources now far superior, have learned
the lesson of Crete, and improved and
amplified it to the sextent now being
demonstrated in Burma must send cold
sh1vers down many a Prussian spine.
For the day will come when the great
blow will fall in the west, from the
British Isles, jammed with Allied air
bases, teeming with Allied planes. The
Germans like to think of this blow as
a frontal attack on their Atlantic
Wall"; they like to think of the price
they will exact in blood for the break
through, of the smashing counterblows
that their mechanical and motorized
reserves will strike at the Allied landing
forces as these are still trying to batter
their way through the fortified cones
along the coast

to be tail-gunners. But they didn't
seem to understand.
The young officer was trying to trans
init to that audience an experience. It
was an experience of terror and pity,
OF solidarity and cemradeship, Of death
and miraculous return to life. He did
transmit it-so effectively that after
ward there was dead silence.
All Of us felt little sick about our
selves, a little ashamed Of our glibness.
For few minutes we had been In a
different world. But this different
world was not world OF foreign Ian
guages or races. It was the world of
our own children. The difference was
wholly one Of experience.
Nor was there any dismity. All of
the previous speakers had spoken nor
mauy, OF what interested them, and
what interested them was important
and part OF the whole big picture of
the war. The young officer also spoke
OF what interested him-and what had
swallowed his whole life and thinking.
The difference was one IN intensity,
and In value. The German, for him.
was not q social and historical problem,
but an immediate enemy, and a very
dangerous one. The lost tail-gunner
was not statistical number, but some
one closer to him than all of us. The
war OF nerves was not something to be
commented on, and lightly resisted-he
felt the tension Of his brothers overseas
In his bones. The coming invasion was
not, Tor him, an abstraction. He was
already, in imagination, participating
in it.
Unity Is matter Of imagination
imagination which, for us civilians. must
oe the substitute for experience. In no
other country Is imagination more
necessary, for nowhere else is there such
gap OF experience, between the front
and the homeland. The silence that
followed the speech of the officer was
an admission Of guilt. The guilt was not

defense line, cutting of the coast de-
lenses and holding up counterattack
until the main Allied forces have broken
through.
The great advantage which the Allies
possess In this sort of work is the fact
that they know where their main blows
are going to be delivered. The Ger
mans cannot know this. Thev must
wait and see. They cannot even group
their reserves, but must maintain '.po-
sltion in readiness" until the event dis
closes the knowledge which they would
give so much to have in advance.
The Allies, on the other hand, know
ing where they are going to strike, also
know the routes by which the German
reserves must move in counteraction:
and they can perfect their plans to
block these routes by the use of air.
borne forces.
OF course, air superiority has been an
essential feature of the Allied successes
IN Burma. The Japanese air force has
been wholly inadequate to support or
supply It's own ground troops, much less
to interfere with the well-planned and
Weli-escorted Allied air operations, in
cludlng the movement of air-borne
troops.
\ X
The Luftwaffe is of far better quality,
airman for airman and plane for plane
as we'll as air staff for air staff, to any,
thing the Japanese have been able to
turn out. Its quality will probably not
be diminished (unless its morale breaks,
which is unlikely for the time at least)
but its quantity is being relentlessly di-
minished
That is one Of the purposes, II not the
major purpose, of the present round
the-clock Allied bombing offensive. And
one OF the great ends which is thereby
served Is increased freedom of action
for Allied air-borne troops when the
hour finally arrives.

nique. Etching with the help of
acid was practiced in 1918. Dry
point was invented soon thereafter.
Then came mezzotint, discovered by
Won Siegen about 1912, and aquatint,
introduced by LIE Prince about 1853.
Stipple, a method dependent upon
system of dots etched and then
finished with a curved craving tool,
appeared in advance of lithography,
originally practiced by Alloys Sene-
fielder about 1898.
Copper was the material employed
by the generality of craftsmen until
the time OF Jacob Perkins of Massa-
chusetts, who devised steel check
plate for printing bank notes be-
tween 1895 and 1909. From him
descended the members of the Phila-
delphia school of engravers and
their followers, the group of artists
working with steel in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. Among the
latter are men of exceptional ability
whom their neighbors in Washington
should rejoice to encourage. The
difficulty is that not everybody sees
what he looks at. For proper appre-

Art Not Lost

In 1878 Frederick Keppel, writing
for Harper's Magazine, quoted the
German master engraver Mandel as
saying that he would have no sue
cessors. The art of plate cutting and
printing, it then was supposed, had
lost its glory. Yet even among those
persons who shared that pessimistic
view there must have been some
doubt. Any individual who ever has
paused to examine a dollar bill with
thoughtful care will realize that
engraving is flourishing field of
creative enterprise in the tumultuous
present as in the not altogether
serene and peaceful past.
Who first discovered the essential
principle of making burrows on
metal for the purpose Of reproducing
designs is, Of course, unknown.
There were engravers of sort in
China in remote antiquity. Incised
blocks of wood are demonstrated to
have been used for printing hun
dreds of years before the beginning
of the Christian era In Europe. The
so-called Diamond Sutra roll in the
British Museum dates back only to
1868 AID, but it is the fruit--not the
seed-of a tremendous esthetic de-
velopment requiring centuries for Its
fulfillment. 1t was a long road from
the primitive endeavors Of ancient
Cathay to the grand achievements
of Durer and Rembrandt, but prog

On the Record
BY Dorothy THOMPSON

Speaking before the annual meeting
OF the American Society Of Newspaper
Editors, Secretary of War Stimson again
pleaded that all symptoms Of disunity at
home disappear as prerequisite for the
Imminent invasion of Europe. Among
the "disunities" which he especially
stressed was division between the armed
forces and the civilian population.
The word ''disunity" hardly describes
the situation. Disunity implies divi-
sion Of purpose. do not believe this
exists. But what does exist is division
of experience. We live in one world and
our sons In another. The result is a
transubstantiation not of ideas, but of
values.
This was brought home to me the
other night at party attended by dis
tinguished guests from many walks of
life. Among the guests was one OF our
greatest industrialists, an eminent psy-
chologist, famous anthropologist, sew
eral prominent journalists and politi-
clans, a popular actress, Hollywood ty-
coon and many smart and wealthy
people.
In ordar to enlarge the conversation
at individual tables to include the whole
dinner party. the hostess called on var
1ous guests to, speak, and they did so,
wittily and sometimes brilliantly.
The industrialist discussed postwar
aviation, the psychologist drew philo-
sophical conclusions from his practice, a
journalist discussed the future structure
OF Europe. When they and others had
finished, young man in uniform unex-
pectedly stood up. From the way he
held his hands one could see that he had
not fully recovered from terrible war
injury. He was handsome young man,
with an expression on his face older
than his years. And his first words
were, Il just don't know what you are
all talking about. 1t seems to come
from another world"
He was apologetic. He explained,
"This is the first time in my life
have ever stood up to make a speech"
He confessed that he was scared to
death" But, he said, "I've got to speak
for my tail-gunner." The tail-gunner
was dead, we learned, of a German
bullet, from the fire that had crippled
the plane from which our young speaker
had escaped, more dead than alive.
He spoke for that tail-gunner. Now
that he was invalided out of the Army,
he said, he had been looking for new
tail-gunners. He thought all the peo-
pie of the United States would prove
