C. By the time this reaches print, the true story of the robot and the whole story, including the last chapter, may be revealed. Perhaps It will be withheld until Germany is on her knees and the heavy censorship which has descended oyer the last, desperate blows of the oornered animal can be lifted. The part of the story which is now being revealed is that of a menace which dropped to a low in August of this year, when only 4 out of 101 bombs aimed at London reached their destination, began to rise again after that until, at this writing, V-ls are falling on the British capital and vicinity three times a week. What is more, only the V-ls are being mentioned. Although the V-2, a rocket much larger than the V-l, was described for a while, and a more mysterious V-8 was mentioned some time ago, today no word is spoken of either. What is mentioned is that war damages are being repaired in London by some 132,- 000 laborers. Thiu total is 40 per cent of Britain's tola! building personnel. Only 40,000 men were employed for this work in 1941 during the battle of Britain. The attacks now going on, like all of those since the Allies took over the invasion coasts and captured the launching sites, are made by robots launched from the backs of planes piloted by live pilots. It is generally admitted that they will keep right on coming as long as Germany is in the war. The robot war isn't over. Londoners are still moving nightly in the shadow of death. The British Information service has released a film which tells the story of what happened when the V-ls were coming over from the launching platforms. It is a terrible human document. As one woman correspondent who has just come back from the* front remarked: "That is Worse than anything in France." Broke Fall Fortm Of Attach* A man who knows robots pretty well from first-hand contact told me "If the flying bombs (V-ls) had been launched as* the Germans planned to launch them, in the quantities in which they were then able to produce them, and from the launching platforms already installed, they would have been sent against London at the rate of a thousand a night, every night." That, of course, would have meant the annihilation of any city. Briefly, the developments which broke the German plan were these: In April of 1943, British secret agents sent in vague reports of German plans for some type of longrange bombardment. Intelligence service discovered a new weapon being developed on the Baltic coast; the RAF made rhoto- ' graphs. Many pictures were tak< and finally a large factory was disco ered at Peenemuende, an island in the Baltic, with a miniature airplaneshaped thing on the ramp. Scientists deduced that the weapon was a pilotless. jet-propelled plane. Peenemuende and other manufacturing sites were destroyed. . By winter. 100 ramps were discovered similar to the one at Peenemuende all along the French coast. They were bombed, repaired, rebombed. By the following summer new ones had been completed. Secret service pieced together a description of the bomb. Defenses (barrage balloons, etc.) were prepared. The first robot attack began at the time of our invasion of Normandy. In the first month only 40 per cent of the bombs were brought down by defense. " The defenses .were changed; the defense belt was moved to the coast so the gunners could get an uninterrupted view of the oncoming robots. By July. 74 per cent of the robots % were being brought down. The RAF with speedier fighters heloed to get many. The situation improved until Aug u s t . . . . .

Th ture tery. As for the present, the meth- I od of carrying the robots oh the bacjts of live-piloted planes makes it possible for the enemy to approach their targets from any direction. So the attempt is made to stop the thing at its source and so-called "intruder" planes try to linger over the German airdromes where it is , . known the pick-a-backs take off and f destroy them as they rise. Some are i destroyed there. For the rest, it is an endless patrol of the North sea and the Heligoland Bight, searching the whole heavens for the planes themselves or trying to spot the robots after they are launched and dive-bomb them down or pick them off with ack-ack, or hope they will entangle themselves with the wires from the captive balloons. The robot has not yet said its last word. . Hits '/nconi^enf* Diplomacy of U.S. Before we can get any Of international organization working, we, the United States of America, must have the confidence of the other nations of the world. We, "US," have a pretty good reputation, a "reservoir of goodwill," as Wendell Willkie called it. But we have also a few blots on our escutcheon. And it might be well for all of us to read a book which, although I cannot agree with all its conclusions, fascinates me. It is called "Our Jungle Diplomacy," and was written by a former member of the American foreign service, William Franklin Sands, in collaboration with Joseph M. Lalley. It made me think. Mr. Sdnds' thesis is that our diplomacy has been operating "in a jungle of our own creation" and he cites in detail certain specific examples to show where he believes our diplomacy has led. His findings are startling: Japan's annexation of Korea, he says, follows the pattern laid down by the United States in regard to Hawaii. Pearl Harbor, he boldly traces back to Panama! Mr. Sftnds has some rather jolting ideas on power politics. He says that although the United States has no cqnsis\ent foreign policy, we have, nevertheless, indulged in power politics. But, he hastens to add, power politics is not per se, unwise or immoral. (It depends on the power.) But whatever has been the longrange effect of our diplomatic conduct in South America, Sands believes that "the chief fruit of our jungle diplomacy is the disastrous war in which we are now engaged," I would not go so far as to say that a less jungular diplomacy on our part alone could, under existing world conditioas, have preserved the peace in the face of a confirmed aggressor, but I must admit that our statesmanship has not acted as much of a pacifier so far. Sands quotes the famous saying of the great military authority, von Clausewitz, to the effect that "war is the continuation of a nation's policy by forcilale means," and then he says that since we h^d no policy to extend, the war in the Pacific is an extension of Japanese policy. Sands says (and makes a very convincing argument) that that point was clear when the Japs took Korea 40 years ago. * And then he comes to this striking conclusion: "Two courses were open to us . we might have prepared to challenge the rising power of Japan . . or we might have adopted a policy "of gradual retreat in the Pacific and of genuine conciliation in the Americas, which might have enabled us to avoid the clash of power politics in the Far East, might have made our intentions plain, and might have made our: moral position less equivocal in Latin and Asiatic eyes." Read "Our Jungle Diplomacy" as an astringent to inflated national egotism, if for no other reason. It is a refreshing mental menthol* • *• 'v THOMAS RAFTER, Auctioneer Mr. Wm.

Together with other modern electric equipment, stock tank water heaters are helping Northern Illinois Farmers in their big war job-feeding Aracrica. It's a well-known fact that milk production falls off during cold snaps. One important reason: Cows are reluctant to drink cold or chilled water. Since milk is about 87% water, it is easy to see why cows give less when they drink less. By using a Stock Tank Water Heater, water can be kept at a drinkable temperature all winter long. There are several types of tank heaters (some farmers have even made their own) that prevent water from freezing, take the icy chill out of it, and thus encourage animals to drink more often and more fully of the water that makes milk, fattens livestock. Take a tip from the Red Top Farm, keep a constant supply of fresh, pure water available to your herd at all times... and keep it at a drinkable temperature during the cold months with a Stock Tank Water Heater.
