Apology To A Climate

When our gallant English weather

Keeps the bombing plane at bay. Aren't you sorry altogether

For the things you used to say? Fog we cursed with cough and weeping. Ice we called "the plumber's mate, Dear old pals, who now are heaping

Coals of fire upon our pate. Come each kindly gale, and hurry:

Let our climate play its part- Merry fog, that clears our worry,

And the frost that warms the heart.

L. B. W.

WE SEE THE JOKE

A Londoner going home the other night found a bomb dropped by a Ger- man airman lying unex- ploded in his flat.

He promptly carried it out. A policeman found him staggering.down the street with it in his arms -it was so heavy that he had dropped it once-and with that sense of the due dignity of things possess- ed by policemen of all 'na- tions, arrested him,

A bureaucratic minded magistrate, before whom he was brought, fined the man £100 for his bravery with the alternative that if he did not pay the fine he could go to prison for three months.

The man very properly refuses to pay the fine.. And it is not likely that he will go to prison for the sentence has provoked a national outcry.

But whether he goes or not, he has at least given the world some idea of what Londoners think of bombs.

Now I do not want to under-estimate the air Blitzkrieg. It has been a very horrible and terrify- ing experience. But it has been far from being un- endurable and the way in which Londoners have beaten its terror by ad- justing their lives to it, has been among the out- standing episodes of hero- ism in world history.

The first week of it was the worst of all. All the worst of the damage seemed to have been done in that week. The bombs tore very great gaps in famous streets of the City and the West End. They scared and scared the suburbs and the death roll was heavy, although only a tiny fraction of what we had prepared for. Since that first week Lon- 'don has not had one night completely free from the hom- bers. Yet in that time a tremendous transformation has taken place. The raids no longer seem like the crack of doom, and the nightly 'casualty "list" in the London area has shrunk to`n size that. would really not put any seri- ous pressare, on the ordinary.

weather, but the Italians are very inferior. Against our Hurricanes nnd Spitfires they stand no earthly chance. Recently, 80 of them tried a very spectacular daylight dash on London and were simply shot out of the skies. They could not drop a single bomb on England. The Germans were never as bad as that. Obviously the Germans them- selves do nol rate the Italians very high and I fear the Ita- lians will soon get tired of being used as practice targets for the R.A.F.

Wo shall miss them when they stop coming. They do no harm and they make an air raid quite an agreeable entertainment.

We are all hoping that one day we shall have among our visitors Count Cluno and Mussolini's two famous. air-

men

sons who bombed de- fenceless Abyssinians with auch heroism. But perhaps they are content to rest on their Ethiopian laurels. Some- how we fear they will fight shy of crossing the Channel.

The lesson we have learned is this. If you take the ele- mentary precaution of taking reasonable shelter, bombs do not harm you.

At first Londoners could not sleep. That is the greatest ordeal of a night air raid un-

til

you become used to it. Now most of them sleep the night through comfortably in shelters-many even in their beds-in spite of the noise of our guns, which is

far more intense and a far more alarm-

ing sound than either the

drone of a bomber or the whine of a falling bomb.

In the first days of air raid-

ing, the whole population took

shelter immediately the alarmn sounded. Now in daylight women continue their shop- ping and men go an with their work unperturbed. Transport is running almost normally. The civil defence arrange- ments are 80 efficient that there has been no extensive failure of any public service. Our food, our letters and to us newspapers come just as they have always done. Husbands go to work as usual and come home again at night, if not always with the same comfort and case,

at least with nearly the same regu- larity.

All this must be a great blow to Hitler and Gooring. They do not try now quite so hard as they used to. Their bombers still come regularly, but most days and nights the effort is not what it was. There Is a perceptible slacken- ing.

Why that should be so we have not yut decided, but we are rapidly coming to the opinion that there are pro- bably two reasons for it:

(1) Hitler is giving us as a hopeless job and turning his strength to the near East to retrieve his waning fortunes.

The Nazi Air Force has had such a hammering.that it cannot stand the pace!

There are indications that the second reason may prova to be the real one. One pretty sure sign is that the Nazis are now bringing Itali- ans to help them.

Tho Nazia have been good alrinen, courageous and per- tinacious even in the worst

Altogether we are taking a

a dust in his short time as Supreme Com- monder.

The great raid, on Munich, and the spoiling of Hitler's Beer cellar speech, has been our greatest joke since the war began. It made the whole nation roar with laughter, and when the British laugh in a war, they are for more dangerous than when. they are grim. We have renched the laughing stage now after many anxious months,

One thing concerning the bomb damage strikes every visitor to London. It is the way in which German airmen, obviously acting under orders, have made a dead set at churches, convents and Royal Palaces. So many of them have been hit that the Blitz- krieg has almost taken on the appearance of an anti-God crusade.

That of course no more. wins a war than the slaughter of helpless little children and their mothers in suburban streets far from any military objectives. Actually it may be the deciding factor in the extent of the final punishment awaiting Hitler. For it has roused the temper of every Briton to a height that it can never before have reached in our history. There will be no forgiving and forgetting this time,
