BOMBS ARE PROPAGANDA'
iTHE first prindple of any policy for
dealing wiith Germany is' to remember that
the Germans are not British. Several of
our Ministers have still to leam this ele-
mentary truth. They appear to thmk that
becatise vve stand up to indisCriminate Ger-
man bombing and admire the restraint im-
jiosed lupon our airmen to bonib only mili-
tary objectíves in Germany, the Germans
(wiould stand tip to the devastatioh of their
cities as we do, and already admire ;us fbr
the striotly military character of our aerial
bombardment.
This is vcry bad psychoiogy. Among thc
reasons that enable us to stand up to Ger-
man bombing is our, almost uno>nscious,
reoognition of the fact that wte have no
altemative to victoryn The Gefmans think
otherwiise. They glory in suooessful war but
have never relished unsuooessful wiar.
One way to oonwince Germany that Hitler
cannot triumph would be to crush >one Ger-
inen region after another, and to give notiqe
beforehand' that the civiíian population iof
sucli regions must be evacuated by a certain
date. To give this notiœ would be propa-
ganda. The German people would begin to
see that Hitler oouid not save them. They
wioUld turn from him and think of their
future.
