FLYING BOMBS AND PEACE Sta,—General Eisenhower has recently mentioned the

infinite pot bilities of development of the flying bombs. Indeed, such devices, of a more devastating and efficient thoroughness than the present missile should provide the Allied Nations, after the war, with the means stifling every sign of renewed aggression by Germany, including surpri rearmament and similar purposeful infringements of the peace. ordinated emplacements of such missiles, each adjusted to a differe German centre, could be situated, not only on these shores, but al in every one of the invaded countries. This would considerably reli of its duties whatever international force is contemplated to mainta the peace, and would reduce, possibly to zero, the casualties to be suffer in forcing Germany to behave. For only the threat of force can, for century at least (that is until democracy has had a chance of sink into the German mentality) ensure good neighbourliness f rom Germans. Incidentally, the Germans may be interested in seeing t even their devilish devices can be turned to a useful purpose.—Yo
