There Must Be A Remedv We have noticed it ourselves, m ly to the surprise use of superior air strength. This is important because it opens the way for the British to defeat Germany without launching an actual invasion of Germany, which would cost millions of lives.

With the fleet tightening the blockade, which will weaken Germany industrially, and bombers giving Germany the "London-treatment," the chances are that the Nazis will cry "Kamerad!" Now. the United States, and the dominions, play an important role in thp, nrosDects of British air suprem acy.
