If the Russian pilots and pursuit planes in “the service of the Madrid government are a criterion of all-around Soviet military strength, then Stalin has a powerhouse infinitely superior to the ezaristic hordes of World war days. Bombing Effective These are two major conclu sions of American army officers who have been making an inten- sive study of opertaions and the effgptivencss of weapons—largely of Italian, German, Russian and French origin—on the Spanish “proving grounds.” These trained observers, whe for military reasons speak only be- [hind te-cloak-of-anonymity, say - _ that the fighting in Spain has fur- ther established the importance of the airplane in bombing supply depots and in “strafing” enemy ground forces. They maintain, however, that masses of infantry- meti who can “dig in” and hold positions gained with the assist: Tene of tanks, artillery and air- aes fire, constitute the “deei- ; sive” factor in battle operations.
