Restrained British Use Meets Nazis
Use Of Air
Of Air Force Divided Aims
(By "Reuter's" Air Correspondent)
LONDON, Mar. 24.—The R.A.F. is hitting Germany harder but there are three reasons why at the moment it cannot do so very often. Outlined to me in London to-day, was the policy of "first things first" with the promise that the R.A.F. will carry air war into Hitler's country on a growing scale and carry out the most effective means of hammering the Nazis for some time.
British Successes Tabulated
LONDON, Mar. 24 (Reuter). The military correspondent of the "Yorkshire Post" tabulates British successes and assets in facing the 1941 spring campaign as follows:
The factors are diversion, weather, and the state -of Britain's bomber strength.
Now that the German air force is being used in support of the Navy in an "all out" bld to sinrve Deliain of supplies and food, it follows that part of the R.A.F, offensive strength must be diverted to counter this threat by ralding the enemy's seu and other bases and other decisive points in the struggle.
Shortages in Britain's front-line bomber strength must be
made
before fulfilment of the Prime Mini- ter's assurance that he is "arranging" that the "present" disparity between the weight of the R.A.F. bombing of Germany and the Luftwaffe rating of Britain "will be rather the other
way round."
