UNDERGROUND HOUSING
Although King George has
again warned his people that
German armies for invasion of
England are "massed across the
channel, only 20 miles from our
shores," Britain's war leadership
is already counting that peril
checkmated for the winter. It is
preparing instead for a nazi cam
paign of relentless bombing
through long winter nights in a
war-of-nerves even more intense
than British citizens have yet
known.
Plans to house an additional
million Londoners underground
at night are significant. They
represent rising British confi
dence that the first defensive
phase of Britain's fight for life
has been won. The "crux" of the

great air battle, as defined by
British leaders, is daylight mas
tery of the air over England.
The Royal Air Force still dom
inates the air in daylight. That
Is the opinion of American mili
tary experts who have been mak
ing a realistic apraisal of the re
sults of the German bombing at
tacks. They share British opin
ion that an attempt at a nazi in
vasion would be foolhardy and
probably disastrous as long as the
R. A. F. has daylight command
of the skies.
It is notable that, the king's
broadcast of encouragement to
his people came as England turn
ed the autumnal equinox corner.
Day by day and week by week
the invasion peril will lessen for
England from now until winter
passes. But for the next three
months English nights will be
progressively longer and more
fraught with terror for the peo
ple of London and other English
cities.
Carefully compiled British wea
ther charts afford Londoners and
the people of the cities on Eng
land's great midland plain little
prospect of any long respite from
night bombing raids. A day dr
two at a time, when gales blow
and low temperatures at high fly
ing altitudes restrict air warfare,
is all that can be expected.
The next four months are the
wettest of the year for England's
north sea and channel coasts,
and for the London area. Through
October, November and Decem
ber there is an average rainfall of
from four to six inches a month
and the downpour reaches a peak
in January.
Night bombing thus will take
on new terrors for people who
may be forced to flee their homes
in the rain and cold. Even with
the invasion danger eased, the
greatest strain yet placed on
British nerves may come during
the autumn and winter months.
