GERMANY’S MASTERY
IN OVERWHELMING NUMBERS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) L LONDON, Sept. 10 The Zaleszcki correspondent of the New York Times, discussing the reason why the well-trained and wellequipped Polish Army was brought to defeat quickly, suggests that it was because the Germans used, on a colossal scale, General Franco's tactics in the latest stages of the war in Spain. They made masterly use of the long Polo-German frontier ami descended in overwhelming force of bombers, tanks and motorised units. The Germans’ barrage of air bombs could have been resisted only by a
counter-attack on the part of an air force of equal size, but the proportion of the Polish Air Force and motorised units to the Germans was one in five.
