AERIAL BLITZKRIEG. (To the Editor.) As in the Great War, Germany kj* waste the countries she invades, art utterly destroys, their fine cities, whife she is spared the horror of what she inflicts on others. After the Great War Germany did not have to rebuild whole cities, while Belgium and France had to start from the beginning' to rehatki theirs, and at great expense. Thus history is repeating itself. While the R.A.F., unless, it finds its military target, does not drop its bombs, the German Air Force carries out indiscriminate bombing of England. Why must the Nazis go unscathed? In an endeanmr to hasten the moral collapse of Germany and at the same time punish them in their own coin, what is against the Air Ministry choosing an area, in Berlin preferably, and by leaflets give the populace warning to evacuate this area in so many days, and at the expiry of the ultimatum bomb the area unsparingly. The fulfilment of this plan would bring the moral collapse of Germany sooner and at the same time be a just reprisal. There need not be any casualties to the Germans if they obeved the leaflet ultimatum. X. A. B. SMITH.
