WAR IN THE FUTURE

Armies Still The Essential Factor

COLONEL ON AIR

MENACE FALLACY'

Modern War. By Lieutenant-Co-

lonel B. C. Dening, M.C., RE ps. (North Hants Printing Co. {s. 6d)

Expertences of the Great War and subsequent developments in armaments have suggested many theories as to how the next great war, if it comes, will be fought, and what will prove the deciding fact- ors states a review by Maj.-Gen. Sir C. W. Gwynn in the "London Morning Post."

may

Most of the theories have sub- stantial foundation but, pushed to degenerate into extremes, dangerous and misleading, fallecies: Lay opinion, which looks for positive guidance, is apt to be car- ried away by the theories most confidently asserted, and stated with the exaggerations of pro- paganda.

In his little book of 100 pages Golonel Dening, who is a serving examine officer, sets himself to theories and to expose miscon- ceptions, discussing the problems of modern warfare in the abstract and without reference to specific hypothetical cases.

VULNERABLE" BRITAIN

His main contention is that armles are still the essential factor in bringing about decision in war, and that the air menace, however formidable, will not have suficient moral effect to prova decisive where precautions, active, and passive, have been taken, and the civil population schooled to meet. It. This, is, in most cases, pro bably true, and is the view which, Judging by their preparations, is evidently accepted by foreign

Powers.

Though we may whole-heartedly agree with Colonel Dening that the air menace certainly does not con- stitute à reason for abolishing or neglecting our sea and land ser- vices, it is, however, surely mis- leading to write, as he does, of the "fallacy of the air menace" until in this country, precautionary measures have been carried much further, and until we present a less vulnerable target. It is con- ceivable that decision might turn on relative vulnerability.

Other misconceptions Coloner Dening deals with are less funda- mental,' and refer chiefly to pro- blems of attack,, and defence which affect the organisation and equip- ment of armies. He regrets the theory that the admittedly in- creased power of defence bas made war of movement a thing of the past.

ALL-IMPORTANT MAN-POWER

On the other hand, he exposes the limitations in offensive power of mechanised forces. He argues that man Dower in quality and
