In addition, it vests in the President a discretionary power to restrict the movements of American citizens and American ships in zones of combat All in all, this measure offers genuine protection against entanglement in war, in contrast to the shad- owy myth of protection we today.

It is a much more decisive engagement than was the first British bombing raid again man North Sea naval bases, which after all w an air attack on a powerful fleet unit. As usual, the results are not clear. Germany serts she lost no planes, sank an aircraft carrier, and seriously damaged a battleship. Speaking for the Admiralty, Winston Churchill told Commons no Brit- ish vessel was hit, and at least one German plane was brought down On the face of it, one report is as good as the Both sides are prone to lie unblushingly when it serves their purposes. There are two means of evaluating the conflicting reports. One is to notice as not as- | the difference in British and German publicity policy vote in the Foreign Relations Com-! Britain notoriously parades its bad news as a means out from Washington, of stirring its people to greater effort and sacrifice. Germany up to now has concealed from its people even the certainty that they are to wage a long war against two powerful enemies. This would suggest that Churchill is more likely to be right. The other way to approach the matter is to bear in mind the actual conditions of an air-naval encounter, necessarily brief. A plane shot down falls instantly. A vessel bombed is not likely to sink less than 10 to 15 minutes, perhaps not in less than several hours. Recognizing the possibility of honest error, therefore, the naval craft—British—are more likely to have observed the full effects of the exchange of shells for bombs. All this suggests that the first real contest be- tween bombing planes and surface craft has resulted in which a definite rebuff to the exponents of aerial superiority. If this is in fact the case, the implications are very | momentous indeed. Britain has an immense fleet as well as a good air force, while Germany has a large business and efficient air force and no surface fleet of any consequence. If a naval division, consisting of battle- ships, cruisers, and destroyers, of bombers and emerge unscathed, it may well mean the British will be able and willing to go far beyond a mere blockade and carry the war aggressively into the Baltic And incidentally, an aerial failure in the North Sea would have important implications for the Med- iterranean, where Italy must rely on her air force to | cope with the British and French Mediterranean | fleets.
