A: a matter of tact this type of warfare existed to some degree even in the late stages of the last war. Since then atomic power has beengtreatly developed, and other mum of war-tare have been invented and improved, so that today there is practically no country that can be called safe, if another country declares war on it. Probably the most essential thing to consider is the way the next wu- will come. While we can always hope that there will be ample warning to let us prepare for it; expert opinion seems to indicate that there will probably not even be a declaration of war, but that rather we will be suddenly attacked and that unless we have “dent strength and have taken the necessary precautions to guard against this type ot attack, we will be overwhelmed and defeated before we have oppor- tunity to gather enough strengths to be of value to us. Indications are, that if we can successfully withstand an attack for a matter of a week or two, then we have a chance for survival, but there will never be a. war tought again, that we can take trom six months to a couple of years to bring our military strength up to what we need to defeat the attackers, Bread Ration Still Short In British, U.S. Zone 'tmt-ttttmt-mall-tHI' may.“ ”mi-“r “unnumupmuou manhunt W-“nmmmmmi 'iirTriiiifed' 5:135:19 152000 THE TRAFFIC TOLL an Que“ "alum he's-q New for the am 3&3?!
