This is the meaning of our pres
ent flrmness in Berlin. Our officials
believe anti-Soviet feeling is rising
in Germany, Scandinavia, Czecho-
slovakia and in the Balkans They
feel that this is the strategic time
to force a showdown with Russia.
If the Kremlin is really deter
mined on war it is better to have it
now, they reason, than year or
two hence, when Western Europe
might be discouraged about recov-
cry and uncertain about American
support.
Both the Labor Government and
the Conservative Party in England
are united in feeling that any re-
treat from Berlin would be another
Munich, which would so disillusion
all Europe as to make it an easy
prey for Communist conspiracies.
Our officials expect to take the
Berlin dispute before the United
Nations Assembly soon to get an
overwhelming vote approving our
position and censoring Russia, hence
strengthening our moral position in
the eyes of world opinion.
The next 80 days may well bring
war or the basis of a permanent
peace.

will decide which it is to be.

SCAMPTON, England, July II.
Giant Super Fortresses flying
with fully loaded guns zoomed
into British bases today In a
spectacular display of Americas
air might.
They were manned chiefly by COM
bat-hardened crews. They touched
down at Scampton, Waddington and
Markham Fields on the western edge
of East Anglia-the fiat country
from which the 9th Air Force
mounted it's World War II attacks
against Germany
Those fields we're chosen as bases
because OF the length of their run
ways.
Crews Confined to Bases.
The Super Forts bomb bays were
empty. When the planes landed,
the gunners carefully removed the
belts of ammunition from the gun
feedways. The crews were confined
to their bases for 48 hours. No ex-
PLANTATION was given.
The first 48 of the bombers arrived
today. A dozen more are still to
come from Goose Bay, Labrador,
with the next arrival due at dawn.
United States Air Force officials said
servicing crews at Goose Bay were
too small to get all so planes off
today.
Some of the Super Forts were
diverted to Prestwick, Scotland. Ten
landed at Waddington. Twenty
came in at Markham and IL at
Scrampton. The first arrivals
landed in bright sunlight, but those
that arrived tonight landed in a
drizzling rain.
