Canada is playing an increasingly important part i) producing combat as well as ining planes for the United Nations. Aviation Magazine reports that a production of 400 plancs a month has been reached in' the Dominion, compared with an output of forty | planes in the course of a whole year before the war. Although numbers of units are not likely to increase immediately, tonnage for 1943 will be far ahead of all former records. Canada is now sending into the air, in addition to many Anson twin-engined train- powered with American Jacobs enginés, four- engined Lancaster heavy bombers, powered with Packard-built Rolls-Royce engines, and Hurricane fighters and Mosquito bombers, carrying similar power plants That. Canada has been able to develop its pro- duction facilities so rapidly is a credit to organiza- ers (New York Times) | United Nations bombing planes go sover When {holm dispatch estimated 2,000 dead and 30,000 home- |less in the Berlin raid of March 1. The attack on | the night of March 27-28 may have been even smore deadly. We can confidently say that there are some things Nazi fliers have done that ours will never,do. They will not, for example, bomb and machinesgun |fleeing civilians, as the Nazis did in Belgium: and France. They will not concentrate their attack’on leivilians. They will try to hit objeets and installa- }tions which have military importance. - But you can- not aim at railroad stations, war factories or oil storage tanks without hitting civilians. This is, in |fact, the kind of war the Nazis planned .t. to be, a | war of ‘whole populations against whole populations. There is a little that our side cam o to make |it-a different kind of war. The refinements agreed lupon at various conferences during hopeful decades |have been abandoned. If our enemy were to use ‘poiwn gas we also would do so.- We are, indeed, if forced, prepared to do so. But we try wherever pos- lsible to-avoid the infliction of needless suffering. We |recognize; also, that the humane way is often the |wisest way. ‘The soldiers of the United Nations will win an easier victory because they will not leave a |legacy of undying hate behind them when they pass [through debated territory. Needless cruelty is a Nazi |vice. that will cost Germany heavily in the end. | But some cruelty, as in the bombing raids, there /must be in the kind of war that our enemies, using technical means never before used in history, have chosen to wage. This cruelty can be justified only /by the particular cause for which we fight. We are | bombing cities from the air because we are forced |to do so to stop the bombing of cities from the air. We are forced to take the lives of civilians sothat |civilians may henceforth be secure. ‘We are fight- |ing this awful kind of war so that there need not |be -any kind of war hereafter. There is no escape from this necessity. Nor is there any ‘escape from | the responsibility that goes with it, to build a just ‘and peaceful world when victory has been won —_— An Obligation Fulfilled (Cincinnati Enquirer) Few persons will see political or military signifi- cance In a cabled report. telling of French and Ara- bian women crowding the streets of North African |towns' where Amesican yard goods was being put on ‘sale for the first time.
