The strange protest, recently signed by a group Of
American pacifists who oppose bombing of German
cities fails recognize the essentials of warfare Their
point of view is lacking in realism that it is
difficult to believe it voiced by experienced

In appraising any situation, certain facts must be
accepted The facts in this instance the facts
of battle-the death destruction suffering which are
part and parcel of 1t is not possible to fight
war without death and destruction far anyone
knows Yet members of the American protest group
infer that they would have the Allies desist from
such efforts in order to protect the cities and the
resources of the enemy.
Results which would follow such foohardy
obvious enough. Death and suffering
would contnue-but it would be peoples,
not the Germans, who would be on the receiving end.
Each German aircraft factory put out of COM
mission by aerial attack, thousands Of British
and American lives hundreds of English homes and
production centers Each load of high explosives,
dropped from Allied bomber a German rail
center retards the passage of ammunition, guns and
soldiers toward position where they would destroy
Allied lives and property.
Such aerial attacks, while they bring great damage
to the enemy, not damaging to him. in the
long rum extended might be. If it were
possible, within the next month, to knock Germany
completely out of the by air offensives alone, the
Reich itself would reap certain benefits The death
and destruction which such operation would bring
could not be compared with the death and suffering
which would certainly accompany another four years
of war
