A great deal of publicity is being ghen these days to ae1ial bombing, Since Mussolini started on his Ethi-l opian adventure the world has been given practical demonstrations of this war weapon. following a wide theoret~ ical discussion of its effectiveness.‘ Spain was the next proving ground and now the Japanese are trying it out on the Chinese cities. As was to be ex-: pected. a great deal of exao g'ge1ation is! being indulged in by the press. j The side panel can be removed quick- ly for special service. but when in place make the whole from assembly a much more rigid unit. They form a structural link between the body and the new radiator shell. which also is stiffer this year by virtue of the new steel apron The safely-styled instrument panel. with all controls sunk or recessed flush with the surface. appears this year with everything centred in a unified assemâ€" bly at the middle of the board. There are two large dials: one to show speed and mileage. the other containing fuel and oil gauges. amineter and heat in- dicator. Both dials are now face-light- ed. instead of through the edge. for bet- ter visibility at night without glare. Numerous conveniences add comfort and luxury. Wider defrosting or anti- fog vents are built into the base of Windshields. in front of both driver and passenger. With this year’s improve- ments in heaters and connecting hose. the new Plymouth defrosters are capâ€" able of deflecting 60 per cent. more warm air up the windshield to melt away any snow or ice. Bigger headlanpa of teardrop design emphasize the grater mass omen-once. The same bolder proportions appear again in the broad. curving fenders that sweep lower in front. an inch and a half deeper than last year's fender line. These now flow in a continuous curve toward a new. rounded front apron in body colour. that forms the substantial. architectural base of Ply- mouth‘s new front design. across the from Under conditions existing in the variâ€" ous battle areas the test of the aerial bomb as a war weapon is inadequate. The Italians simply encountered no re- sistance whatever. They simply flew low over enemy troop concentrations or innocent and defenceless villages or transports and dropped their bombs wherever they liked. Naturally they did considerable damage. particularly to the morale of the EthiOpians who were re- ceiving their first baptism of explosives. In Spain conditions were somewhat different. Considerable opposition was developed by anti-aircraft artillery and if reports can be credited it was quite effective at times. In this connection it is reported that Russian guns played havoc with the German and Italian aircraft in the early stages of hostilities until the fliers learned their lesson and flew much higher. thereby decreasing the accuracy of bombing operations. In China the Japanese bombers are These manifestations have not. how- ever. brought convincing evidence of the efficacy of aerial bombing of well defended cities. In the west the advent of bombers would bring an intensive anti-aircraft fire to very high altitudes. They would not only be met with artill- ery opposition but also with fleets of fast fighting planes which would har- farther forward to meet the redesigned runwa- nine. which was much more veruuny than the sloping "two" of Int you: w. In Chit-a the Japanese bombers are having a Roman holiday. Anti-aircraft defense is negligible and the invading bombers have the aerial right-of-way. Their operations are conducted on de- fenseless cities. mainly built of flimsy structures. ideal for incendiary bombs.

Aerial Bombing Not Always Effective ass the heavy shell-carrying machines. They would be forced to fly four or five miles in the air and the possibility of teaching objecuvs or specific targets wculd be exceedingly remote.

ONTARXO l The modem aerial bombers are re- ported to travel at fairly high speed. 3 possibly 170 to 200 miles per hour. How the fliers. three or four miles in the ' air and travelling at such velocities can hope to hit. a target is not. easily com- . prehensible. i In the stories coming out of Shang- as Madrid from the air has been going on for over a year. the air arm is greatly overrated. In the last great. war In the stories coming out of Shang- hai a great deal of stress is placed on the effect of aerial bombing on the ci- vilian population. The panic generated is easily understood. It is not a nice sensation to stand helpless while some iiier a. mile up pulls the cart tail and irnloads his cargo. Yet the actual danâ€" ger is far less than that to be expected from artillery or machine gun fire. In the great war aerial bombing was not much used in fighting the infantry or the artillery of the enemy. Occasionâ€" ally a flight would search out a battery position but the chances of finding it and putting it out of action were slight. Night bombing of the rear areas was common but in this effort also there was little success. It was merely a nui- It is true that the psychological effect of bombing from the air is great. This is particularly so in crowded urban areas where civilians become panic stricken. But in modern cities the ma- terial damage by air craft carrying shells is not important. Judging by the Spanieh experience, where almost un- interrupted bombardment o-f such cities the German fliers reached London on numerous occasions. usually at night. and their bombing while it was rather aimless. had little effect beyond the psychological. The city was crowded to the doors and yet casualties were slight. One had difficulty in finding where the bombs had hit and when a stricken spot was located it was obvious that the same amount of damage could have been done with a, single field gun shell. sance to the resting troops. Rarely were there any casualties from this cause. The bombing of aerodromes. of railway stations. of concentration areas was frequently attempted but almost uni- versally unsuccessful. so far as the Ger- mans were concerned. Civilians behind A great deal of nonsense has been written about the vulnerability of battleships to aircraft. Battleships are built to withstand bombardment of much heavier and more deadly missiles than an air ship can take aloft and transport to a target. Tests made by all nations in recent years have had al- most comical results. so far as target location was concerned. The Americans have taken out obsolete warships and tried to sink them with bombs. They have attempted the same thing on old bridges. The airships were baffled. even when they flew far lower than they would be permitted to do in actual warfare. Aircraft travelling at 200 miles an hour are covering three and one- third miles a minutes or ninety-eight yards a second. It would require a hair- trigger gunner to hit a target even as big as a battleship at such speeds, from any heighth. The. fact is that aerial warfare ex- lSâ€"â€"-”QUEEN MARY" U» My- mnuth.

There is; little doubt that aireralt carrylng incendiary bombs could wreak a great deal of material damage on an Up to now they have had; but not now. From now on, guardians of Com- munist. fair play are as liable as the next man to wake up and find them- selves Enemies of the State. They have been warned in Pravda, the official Communist. Party organ. Unless they stop annoying spectators at football matches with unpopular decisions. they need not. the editor of the Pravda says, hope to escape the judgment. As the New York Times correspond- ent explains it. Russian football crowds whistle at the umpire when benighted victims of the capitalistic system would boo him. But unlike benighted sports writers of capitalism. Communist jour- nalists do not condemn the booers for lack of sportsmanship. They blame the booed instead. How, they ask. can spec- tators seeing “incorrect. incompetent and prejudiced umpiring" refrain from uttering a protest? How can hones'. proletarians keep from whistling when their feelings are hurt by the umpire‘s decisions. But up .to now Soviet sport has es- caped purging. The shadow of the fir- ing squad has not fallen across the playing fields of Leningrad. Dark dreams of liquidation have not troubled the slumbers of Moscow's equivalent of the Ontario Athletic Commission (James P. Fitzgerald, secretary). Apart from such normal hazards as pop- bottles and decaying vegetablesâ€"haz- ards common to the occupation under any system of ideologyâ€"umpires. ref- erees and judges of play have had a pretty good expectation of life. as ex- pectations of life go in the USSR. They cannot. Pravda, answers. and adds darkly that the U.S.S.R. Central Committee of Sports had better do something about umpires who are a discredit to their profession and do it quick. «From Judith Robinson‘s Column in The Globe and Mail.) Occupations a peacablc person might hope to grow old in. lessen with awful rapidity in Russia. Army commanders who don't agree with their subordinates the armies are best run by Communist Party committees. are accused of plot- ting to overthrow communism and liquidated forthwith. Railway executives who can't make Russian trains run on time are condemned as counter-revolu- tionaries and disappear. Factory man- agers who fall behind in production are congicted as saboteurs and Trotskyists who need expect no mercy; they get none. Careless nursery-maids are bump- ed off as traiterous poisoners of bud- ding communists’ porridge. Plowboys who neglect to oil the tractor suffer the just fate of anti-Stakhanoffists un- dermining the efficiency of the State. So it has gone for months and months. until latterly it has got so that even part-y grafters are no longer safe in Russia. That's the warning. If the football authorities of Soviet Russia don‘t take it, they can know what to expect. Um- pires who aggravate the workers of Russia to whistling are already guilty. according to Pravda. of "lack of disci- pline. conceit. and lack of elementary sporting conscience.” From there it is clearly only a step The Conmientatorzâ€"â€"Even the great- est money makers have been known to pass up good bets. Charles M. Schwab refused to back the Wright brothers because he thought. aviation was a carzy idea. Western Union. when offered Bell‘s telephone patents for $100,000. turned them down because its directors,- feit that the corporation's province lay in long distance communication. And Cornelius. Vanderbilt rejected Westing- house's airbrake on the ground that he had no time to waste on such foal ideas as stopping trains with wind.
