British and American aircraft in
Guiding many heavy and medium
bombers, involving approximately
1900 pilots and aircrews.
That is past history. The fu-
ture, as I say, is shrouded in mys-
terry. AS for the present, the meth
cd of carrying the robots on the
backs of live-piloted planes makes it
possible for the enemy to approach
their targets from any direction. So
the attempt is made to stop the
thing at its source and so-called Gin
truder" planes try to inger over
the German airdromes where it is
known the pick-a-backs take off and
destroy them as they rise. Some are
destroyed there. For the rest, it is
an endless patrol of the North sea
and the Heligoland Blight, searching
the whole heavens for the planes
themselves or trying to spot the ro-
bots after they are launched and
dive-bomb them down or pick them
off with ack-ack, or hope they will
entangle themselves with the wires
from the captive balloons.
The robot has not yet said its
last word.

Broke Full Force
OF Attacks

A man who knows robots pretty
well from first-hand contact told me
IF the flying bombs (V-ls) had been
launched as the Germans planned to
launch them, in the quantities in
which they we're then able to pro-
duce them, and from the launching
platforms already installed, they
would have been sent against Lon
don at the rate of thousand a
night, every night"
That, of course, would have meant
the humiliation of any city.
Briefly, the developments which
broke the German plan were these:
In April of 1913, British secret
agents sent in vague reports of
German plans for some type of long
range bombardment.
Intelligence service discovered a
new weapon being developed on the
Baltic coast; the Raj made photo
graphs.
Many pictures were taken and
finally large factory was discovered
at Peenemuende, an island in the
Baltic, with a miniature airplane-
shaped thing on the ramp. Scien-
fists deduced that the weapon was
a pilotless. jet-propelled plane
Peenemuende and other manufac-
turing sites were destroyed
BY winter. 100 ramps were dis
covered similar TO the one at Peene-
muende all along the French coast.
They were bombed, repaired. re-
bombed BY the following summer
new ones had been completed.
Secret service pieced together a
description of the bomb. Defenses
(barrage balloons, etc.) we're pre-
pared.
The first robot attack began at the
time of our invasion of Normandy.
In the first month only 30 per cent
of the bombs were brought down by
defense.
The defenses were changed; the
defense belt was moved to the coast
so the gunners could get an un-
interrupted view of the oncoming TO-
bots. BY July, "a per cent of the
robots were being brought down.
The Raj with speedier fighters
helped to get many.
The situation improved until Au-

riers are doing, the great volume of
freight they must handle forces
them to sidetrack coal shipments
for days and weeks. Thus many
localities may be in need of coal,
but unable to get it quickly.
Another factor is the uncertain
but huge demand of the armed
forces. Great quantities of coal
must be shipped to liberated coun-
tries, both for American military
establishments and for the countries
own utilities.

BY the time this reaches print, the
true story of the robot and the
whole story, including the last chap
ter, may be revealed. Perhaps it
will be withheld until Germany is
on her knees and the heavy cen
sorship which has descended over
the last, desperate blows of the cor
nered animal can be lifted.
The part of the story which is now
being revealed is that of menace
which dropped to a low in August
of this year, when only 4 out of
101 bombs aimed at London reached
their destination, began to rise
again after that until, at this writ
ing, Wis are falling on the Brit
ish capital and vicinity three times
a week.
What is more, only the Wis are
being mentioned. Although the w,
rocket much larger than the vi,
was described for while, and
more mysterious VS. was men,
toned some time ago, today no word
is spoken of either. What is men,
toned is that war damages are be-
ing repaired in London by some l32,-
900 laborers. This total is 40 per
cent of Britain's total building per-
sonnet. Only 10000 men were en-
ployed for this work in 1941 dur
ing the battle of Britain.
The attacks now going on, like all
of those since the Allies took over
the invasion coasts and captured the
launching sites, are made by robots
launched from the backs of planes
piloted by live pilots. 1t is general
ly admitted that they will keep right
on coming as long as Germany is in
the war. The robot war isn't over.
Londoners are still moving nightly
in the shadow of death.
The British Information service
has released film which tells the
story of what happened when the
Wis we're coming over from the
launching platforms 1t is terrible

correspondent who has just come

bituminous, of course, is estimated
at GIG million tons for the year. Soft
coal production has been running at
the rate of about IL million tons a
week during 1914. The nation has
been burning about II ,409, 1000 tons
week so far this year, so production
is slightly ahead of consumption.
This would look like sound and
safe situation. But it isn't.

Hits Inconsistent
Diplomacy of u. S.

BEFORE we can get any sort OF
international organization working,
we, the United States of America,
must have the confidence of the
other nations of the world.
We, U.S." have pretty good
reputation, a RESERVOIR of good
WILL" as Wendell Willkie called it.
But we have also few blots on
our escutcheon. And it might be we'll
for all of us to read book which, al
though l cannot agree with all its
conclusions, fascinates me.
1t is called "Our Jungle Diplo-
macy" and was written by for
mer member of the American for
eign service, William Franklin
Sands, in collaboration with Joseph
M. Lalley. 1t made me think.
Mr.. Sands thesis is that our diplo-
macy has been operating ''in a
jungle of our own creation" and he
cites in detail certain specific ex-
amples to show where he believes
our diplomacy has led. His findings
are startling: Japan's annexation of
Korea, he says, follows the pattern
laid down by the United States in
regard to Hawaii. Pearl Harbor, he
boldly traces back to Panama!
Mr.. Sands has some rather jolt
ing ideas on power politics. He says
that although the United States has
no consistent foreign policy, we
have, nevertheless, INDUCED in pow
er politics. But, he hastens to add,
power politics is not per Sc, un-
wise or immoral. ct depends on the
poWer.)
But whatever has been the long
range effect of our diplomatic con-
duct in South America, Sands be-
lieves that "the chief fruit of our
jungle diplomacy is the disastrous
war in which we are now engaged"
would not 60 so far as to say
that less jungular diplomacy on
world conditions, have preserved the
peace in the face of a confirmed
aggressor, but must admit that
our craftsmanship has not acted as
much of pacifier so far.
Sands quotes the famous saying
of the great military authority, Won
Clausewitz. to the Eject that war
is the continuation of nations poll
cy by forcible MEANS" and then he
says that since we had no policy to
extend, the war in the Pacific is an
extension of Japanese policy. Sands
says (and makes very convincing
argumenD that that point was clear
when the Japs took Korea 40 years
ago.
And then he comes to this striking
conclusion:
1.-TWO courses were open to US .
we might have prepared to chal-
lenge the rising power of ia
pan .. -" or we might have adopted
a policy 'of gradual retreat in the
Pacific and of genuine Cancellation
in the Americas. which might
have enabled us to avoid the clash
of power politics in the Far East,
might have made our intentions
plain, and might have made our
moral position less equivocal in
Latin and Asiatic eyes,
Read "Our Jungle Diplomacy" as
an astringent to inflated national
egotism, if for no other reason. It is
! a refreshing mental menthol.

of course none OF these rea-

What would you think Of a ma

that a labor draft would compel
