BRINGING DOWN FLYING BOMBS Sta,—In "Today's News" in The Times
of July 28th it is stated "the enemy sent over flying bombs yesterday. The defences scored non, successes." Successes? What is the definition of success? What the defences have done is to bring down by balloon cables two of the bombs in a fortnight recently so close to my house in a Surrey residential district as to wreck it entirely, except main structure, and nearly every. thing in it. This may be success for the enemy who sent off the bomb; for that was his intention ; but I fail to see it as such so far as I as concerned, and there are many others. We assert we are a democratic country wherein each individual is equal. If so, surely each one shoal take their own risk and not have the chances weighted by Government action. As I do not wish to give information which might help the enemy to further "successes " I prefer not to give my name, nor what was lately
my address.—Yours faithfully, R. S. E. Bedford Hotel, Brighton.
