SOAP BOX DERBY
TRY0UT5; HERE Is
DOPE FOR DRIVERS
Cars Must Have Final In.
speetion on Friday Night
on 18th Street Hill

Soap box races have been unfor-
tunate this week in that there has
been rain every day and the boys
have had no chance to practice
and try out their cars No doubt
there are some cars that need to be
tried out and this should be done
now so that drivers will have a
change to make any necessary
changes.
Tonight at o'clock on 18th
Street, unless it is raining too hard,
there will be practice runs. Boys
whose cars are finished and are
not in desperate need of tryout
runs should really keep their cars
at home if it is raining, but there
may be some cars that need to
be tried out even though it Is not
very dry, e
Friday night the cars must have
final inspection and be weighed in
and have their trial runs. They
will then be stored in the Fair
building until race time. Twelfth
Street will be used for the Friday
night runs s+fi1f1

by strength theory-that no one
will commit or pursue an aggres-
sion if he has Overwhelming
force" modified against him.
The validity of the theory rests,
however, on the reality of the
overwhelming force.
In war overwhelming force Is
not force potential but force in
being. A nation or combination of
nations may potentially" be able
to cover the seven seas with its
ships. blacken the skies with its
planes, and mobilize hundreds Of
divisions If given time. But it is
not the habit Of ruthless and in
telligent enemies to grant such
time.
Terrain Also q Factor.
The amount Of overwhelming
force necessary depends. also, on
the terrain where a war Is fought,
and the type of warfare employed
by the enemy. Time and again
this column has warned against
the habit of mind that always
plans for the last war. AS the
French imagined World War II
on the trench war pattern of
World War I, and therefore built
the Maginot Line, so military
leaders have envisaged World
War III on the pattern Of World
War II, trusting to armor, planes,
mechanical mobility, industrial
strength, and perfected techno-
logical weapons-pre- -eminently
the A (and now the H bomb.
Yet it was always plain as a
pikestaff that World War III
would be different. It would take
the form of civil wars, initiated at
widely separated points, and
fought by armies, guerrillas, and
the strategy of terror" Civil
wars demobilize the atom bomb.
And a war against guerrillas
requires an immensely greater
"preponderance of force" than
any other form of war.
We should have learned that
lesson from the Spanish civil war,
the German war in Russia, the
Chinese civil war, the war of the
Jewish Irgunists against the Brit
ish, and the war in Greece.
In the Greek civil war the Ma
tionalist forces outnumbered the
Communists five to one. The
Communists were vastly inferior

in ornaments. They were not su-
perior in morale as usually de-
fined. Fanatical Communists con-
stituted only a small proportion
of their ranks, which were swelled
by criminals and even, at the end,
included kidnapped youth.
But gang warfare eludes the
tactics of regular armies. BY ter
rorist raids on unprotected viii
lagos, Communist gangs turned q
tenth Of the population into
refugees, filling the garrisoned
towns, creating insuperable prob
lens Of relief, and demoralizing
the whole economy. Their ferocity
so terrified the population that
civilian opposition was negligible
Desertion from their ranks was
not punished merely by death,
but by death with atrocious tor
lures, or the death Of their kin
dred.
AS In Korea, they were pro-
tected by partisans on every land
frontier. They could retreat to
reform their ranks, obtain sup
plies, and care for their wounded,
and could not be pursued without
delocalizing the war.
They were defeated. but only
by a mopping-up process of ex-
cruciating length-by killing or
capturing posse after posse, and
finally cornering the remnant in
their, mountain strongholds, and
blasting them out by superior fire
and airpower.
Finally, the fact that Yugo-
slavia closed her frontiers to them
contributed to their defeat.
Foreigners Cannot Infiltrate.
In the Greek war, moreover,
only Greeks fought Greeks. The
Nationalists, like the Communists,
knew the terrain-every noun
tain trail, pass, bridge, and creek.
They themselves had successfully
fought the Italians in Greece by
guerrilla tactics. They were not

Greece proved that the pre-
ponderance Of force necessary to
win such a war is not the 2 to l
usually required to mount an Of
fensive in normal war, but 5 to /.
But in Korea the organized Com
munist military strength is much
more than double United Nations
strength, and every man sent to
Korea must be taken from another
danger spot. Turkey, we read, is
sending $500 men,. But the
Turkish army is the only reliable
anti i-Russian force in the whole
Middle East!
Britain is diverting men from
