WHY NOT EFFECTIVE People often express wonder that the German air force, which was reputed to be the strongest in the world, should have proved so ineffective in the present war. Again and again it has been shown that British airmen and planes are far superior and have won advantage afte. advantage in the various contests in' which they have been engaged. The answer to this' seems to be that Germany started arming too soon and the planes she made a few years ago are now out of date. Newer models based on experience are operating to greater advantage than the older models. i So far as men are concerned the German method of training has to some extent destroyed individual initiative, something in which the British forces excel. RUSSIAN FAILURES Russian failures are based on a similar hypothesis, except that Russia has failed partly because of the personnel of the various forces, "when the army was being built up, the whole mechanism of the country Avas in the hands of foreign engineers. The result was that airplanes of fairly good quality were constructed. Tanks were built and other needed mechanism was constructed. When the foreign engineers left the Russians did not measure up and the ouality of the product at once fell off. In the war with Finland the tanks, airplanes and trucks are not o the first quality, not reliable, with the result that the fatalities in men and material has been inordinately great. In Russia too the army lost thousands, of its best of f icers in a purge a few years ago in an effort to crush all possible opposition to the Stalin regime. INACCURATE REPORTS People must be worried sometimes at the manifest inaccuracy ot reports on naval or military operations in Europe and elsewhere. Reports differ greatly. The British reports we believe to be true so far as they go but they do not always tell all the truth. The British admiralty announced recently that so far as practicable the public vould be given all the news. In cases where the publication mirrVif- mwo iniitJm.r, il, it. :r i" iiijuiiuuo w wie cause, uie uuuriiuiuuni IS witheld. As against the British attitude we find in Hitler's booK he states that lying is sometimes necessary and that the bigger the lie the more likely it is to be believed. That means that it is a matter of policy to lie, not only to the enemy but to their own people. It is doubtful if Hitlet himself knows when he is telling the truth. The same is true of Stalin. The Russian people do not even expect to be told what is going on. They must knoto by now that they have been deceived from the beginning but they darp not protest. It is more than a man's life is worth to say anythiiig$xpreS$ing doubt of the infallibility of the ' We feel sure that, when the British officials make a statement, it can be depended upon to be true as far as it goes although it may not give all the facts, some of which might be .useful to the enemy. Any hold-back is not for the purpose of deceiving the home people or the rest of the world but simply is a matter of peing careful not to give the enemy any information they should not have.
