THE WAR WEEK Commentary on Current Events Naval War Won, Allies Must Win Air War Before Invasion Launched The air war over Nazi Europe i still growing in scope and intensity comments .the New York Titles Every passing day -establishes new records for the number of Allied planes that roam the Nazi skies for the weight of bombs and incen diaries dropped on Nazi targets, fo the number of Nazi planes des stroyed, and for the relentless fre- quency of the attacks, In fact, in both numbers of men and amounts of materiel employed the air war Lias assumed proportions which place it in a special category of its own. It has finally taken the airplane out of the category of auxiliary. weapon and made the air arm a major branch of the armed forces. The air war itself has become more than a mere prelude to the main event— the invasion. It has become a spe- cial phase of a three-dimensional war which demands victory in every phase, and which thereby forces a revision of all past calculations of power, especially as they apply to countries like Great Britain and the 'United States. "Those Few It has been an axiom since Ma- lLan's day that sea power is the de- cisive factor in shaping world his- tory, and especially in winning wars. For naval power, by commanding the seas, also commands the re- so:;rces of the world, and above all assures the communication lines of sea -borne troops. But the modern three-dimensional war is demon- strating that naval power alone is not enough. There is no doubt that without her naval power Bri- tain could scarcely survive, Ent is is aiso true that she could not have survived without those few to whom so many owed so much ---the Bri- tish Air Force, which was as in- strumental as the British Navy 'in frustrating Hitler's invasion plans. •Nalowliesthe sante thing applies to the . The Second Phase For naval power alone can no longer safeguard the communica- tion lines of an invading force. To assemble the necessary invasion force the Allies had to win the naval war as the first phase of the total war, and even in that phase 1. the airplane played an almost de- cisive role in defeating the '-boat menace. Now they must win the air war as the second phase before the actual invasion can be launched. In the end, every Liar must be won in battle on the ground, which !narks its final phase. But without victory in the two preceding phases there can be no invasion, no vic- torious ia torinus ground battle, and therefore no final victory. Combined Operation It is undoubtedly considerations such as these which prompted Prime lfinister Churchill to lay continued emphasis on the air war in his latest speech, and also to point out to Marshal Stalin the dif- ficulties of large-scale amphibious operations as compared with pure- ly military operations in great land :;paces. When the Russian armies mat defeat in the initial stages of the scar they could retreat for some 900 miles into the interior and, after organizing the full resources c.f nn even vaster hinterland, resutne the battle with greater chance; of su;- cess. There was no such retreat for the Anglo-French army, and there will be no such retreat for the .Ai - lied armies of invasion. They mutt s advance from the Inninent they set., , foot on the Contineiit,in, order, to deploy all their forces, They must be certain that their communica- tion lines remain intact and that the way in front of thein has been blasted open. That cannot be done r by the navy alone. It will require a combined operation in three di- mensions which would risk disas- ter unless air victory had been ach* et ieved first. Even then, Germany with her interior lines and excel- lent land communications might still be able to concentrate an otter - whelming superiority at any in- vasion point unless her whole war potential has been seriously re- duced, The Russian. -armies have been accomplishing this reduction at a tremendous pace, and so has the air and naval war which, as the Russians themselves testify today, contributed so substantially to the Russian victories. Things To Keep In Mind • These are some of the things to keep in mind, when relative acconl- plislunents in the war' are -meas- used by the IR',ussian ground victor- ies on the one hand and the Allied stalemate at Cassino on the. other It is necessary to keep in mind that the American _lir Foi•ce alone, . though scattered Qn. various fronts, number; clearly- two and a half mil- lion men, or - more perhaps than the number of Germans fighting on, the Russian front. And •the con- centrated British Air Force must be at least half 'as large again. It must be kept in mind that the de- struction of German war produc- tion wrought' h.: the 'air war is far greater than could have been ach- ieved by any other kind of bom- bardment. _\nd it nms t be kept in mind that at the present rate of losses German air power, on which Hitler depended for victory-, is be- ing eliminated as surely as was German naval power. Westminster Hall Otte of a shower of German fire bombs which ,-ere dropped re- cently in the grounds of the Bri- tish Houses of Parliament, burned a hole in the roof of Westminster Hall. It landed on the slate roofing of that historic building, rolled down to the edge where it set the wookwork aflame, but was quickly extinguished before doing much damage. Westminster Hall was built by William Second, son of the Con- queror, in 1057, and attained its present form, includin„ •its famous oaken ceiling in 1399, the last year of the Plantagenet dynasty. From the thirteenth century until 1882, Westminster Hall was the site of the chief English „laiv courts. It was there that Charles the First was tried and condemned and his son James the Second was deposed, Cromwell was formally installed there as Lord Protector and pre- sented with the Bible and Sword as emblems of his new office. among the notables condemned to death in the same hall were Wil- liam Wallace, the Scottisli hero, the Earl of Essex, who had enjoyed and later Inst the favor of !Queen Elizabeth, and Guy Fawkes of "gunpowder plot" fame, who be- came the chief victim of his own hare -brained conspiracy, 4av yj fir,3^ z.:��•'�}"•?nhGL+.F.rS FS9 A 'Wartime Order limits the quantity of new cartons which a Brewer may purchase.

In that province owner - 'operated farms increased from 90 percent in 1.001 to nearly 03 per aezit iii 1, The years194betweert 1028 and 1933 -when farm prices dropped to their lowest level saw the most rapid drop in owner -operated farms across the Dominion, 0f the 550,000 full owners who operated their farms in 1041, less than one-half, or 48 percent, had Mortgage indebtedness.

Ontario stood at the half -way mark,. and Nova Scotia reported the best standing. * * Getting' package bees away to a goad start depends on a number of things, according to C. B. Gooder- hath Dominion Apiarist at Ottawa. Firs of all, those expecting pack- age` ees should arrange with their *Oldest express or customs officials faxs iirompt delivery.' To !rouse the beet -one hive fitted with .1.0 'drawn e$inbs car full sheets of foundation is .needed for each package, and from 10 to 15 Ibs. of sugar or b&ie • is required to feed then, 'When received the packages shon(d be stood in a cool shady place,,` and the bees fed by sprink- ling ,a thin solution of sugar and water on the screeuings of the packages. Wait for late afternoon or evening to release the bees in their hives unless the weather is cool and cloudy. * * * It is not the bees you receive that will produce the honey crop, the Apiarist points out, but those which can be reared between the time the packages are placed in the Hives an.i the time the clovers are in bloom. This means that the bees mustn't be allowed, to run short of feed at any time. Start feeding as soon as they are in the Hive and keep feeding until they are well established and obtaining enough from the fields for their needs. ' Their best food is honey but itshould never be given unless cw,:• issi.ertain that k has been pro- duced by disease-free colonies. White sugar dissolved in water is PIPE 'THIS gat Cpl.

It is hoped, Dr. Senn says, that the large scale experiments now being carried out in milkweed collected by the rural schools of Ontario and Quebec, will confirm the indications of pre- liminary experiments that the guns from milkweed may be useful for blending with synthetic rubber.
