element shifts from one side to
the other al improvements are
introduced.
In general, II may be said
that tactical advantage can be
met by superior numbers, and
this element Of quantity Ii def.
initely on our side.
Because our factories are un-
molested, while Germanys are
being continually wrecked from
overhead, the numerical weight
must be increasingly on our end
of the scales.
The Germans have sought to
remedy matters by technologi-
cal improvements, raising the
quality of their air weapons,
but even In this respect IL is
only a question Of time before
the incessant bombarriment will
stymie their efforts.
WE HAVE been officially fn4
w formed on several occa-
sions that bigger American
bombers will be brought into
action.
We need not take Il for
granted that this would, auto
matically, give US great aerial
advantage.
Judgment must wait until
these enlarged bombers are put
to the test Of combat.
We are fighting the decisive
air battle over Germany now
with weapons conceived in adj
vance by our strategic minds.
Brought into combat against
the enemy. they have resulted
in a fairly definite ratio Of
losses, rejecting the qualitative
and tactical relationships of the
two contending air forces.
Those ratios unquestionably
could have been more favorable
to us, but on the other hand
they could have been far worse.
But as long as We can absorb
the loss-by reason of our
strategic numerical superiority
our ultimate victory is mathe-
matically certain, unless Ger
many can spring a chronological
surprise Of a radical nature, and
on a large scale.
And this is unlikely, with
Germany's rapidly shrinking
chronological potential.

However, the pilot ratio in
their favor is a direct result
of their defensive strategy-ac-
cepting battle over their own
territory.
Roughly, so per cent Of their
pilots shot down are able to
resume fighting.
IN 1913, at the time when our
i bombers were attacking in
close formation, thus making
themselves virtually impreg-
nable to pursuit planes through
their combined fire power, we
held a tactical advantage over
the Nazis.
But the tight formations be-
came extremely vulnerable. and
tactical advantage shifted to
the enemy when the Nazis de-
veloped their rocket torpedo
and installed Comm. cannon of
greater muzzle velocity in their
planes.
We countered by bringing
into play long-range escort
fighters.
This has reduced the German
tactical advantage considerably,
stabilizing our losses at around
10 per cent.
It Is thus that the tactical

munists should now be accepted

Stain.
The argument is that az long
as Stain kills Germans, Ameri-
cans must do nothing to dis
please him.
It is a point of view which
involves the principle that we
must flatter our allies or they
will leave us-a doctrine that
assumes that our allies are not
in this war because they feel
that il is to their national in
terests but to please us.
Martin Dies never accepted
that doctrine but went on with
his work without regard to the
shifting scene.

TTIE Go and the Communists
Il will rejoice that Martin Dies

THE Go and the Communists
Il will rejoice that Martin Dies
will not run for Congress.
They believe that they have
won an outstanding victory,
that their greatest foe in Con-
gress will no longer be in Wash
ington to uncover their trick
cries.
They fail, of course, to realize
that Martin Dies functioned as
he did because there was need
for precisely such investigations.
If Dies does not direct them,
some one else will. If his COM
mittee is dissolved, another will
come into existence.
This country never submitted
to foreign domination-and
won't.
Martin Dies may be unwilling
to run for Congress because he
has measured the situation in
his district and has concluded
that he cannot be reelected.
THAT shows what is happen
Il ing in many parts of the
country.
1t is growing increasingly
more trying for congressman to
serve their country according to
their consciences.
Instead of each individual
American voting according to
his conscience, the country il
being divided into occupational,
racial and ancestral groups who
vote not for America but for
some special interest, not for
the general picture but for
some segment of it.
In the next election the
American candidates will be
Roosevelt and Dewey or Roose-
welt and Bricker or Roosevelt
and Stassen-but Stain, Church.
i'll, Hitler, TOTO. Phil Murray,
John L. Lewis and all sorts Of
other folks will also be shadow
candidates.
And there will be some who
will not be voting for or against
an American but for or against
some foreigner.
l am willing to wager that
Stains name will be mentioned
as often as that of any one who
actually appears on the ballot.
II is going TO be a difficult
campaign because it will be hard
to pattern the issues and to
keep them from being befouled
by much that is altogether ex-
traneous.
MARTIN DIES may settle
WI down in Orange, Tex, and,
as such things go. he may be
forgotten in a year or so.
But he has been a valiant
fighter.
He has directed a difficult in
quiry.
He has brought to light much
important truth.
He has made many enemies

his existence as a challenge to
