WHIM-WHAM
["‘Reprisals against England for the terror raids will come from a few weapon making total war still more total,"’ said George Schroeder, head of the Europa Press Bureau, in a statement quoted by the German-controlled Scandinavian Telegraph Bureau:- Cable news item.] HE Patentees of Total War Now cast about for Something more. Than merely Total, .Something passing All Wartare known, in Strength outclassing The Blitzkrieg-Hitler’s final Curer, A Blow out-Furying the Fuehrer: Total shall seem ridiculous Beside the Power of Total-Plus! I am quite ready to believe That there is Something up that Sleeve From which the Foe the free World faces Has dealt himself so many Aces: Perhaps he plans Attacks en Masse With Rocket Bombs and Poison Gas; Perhaps this Weapon, enigmatic, Is but the Faith of the Fanatic. But what can alter the Result? Not Faith, nor Gas, nor Catapult Can save the Fuehrer at the Finish, Nor any mad Machine diminish A total Failure by so Little As total Jot or total Tittle!
