To the average man a photo- graph taken from the air is strangely puzzling. Even when the things it reveals are pointed out to him he may not be able to recognise them; often he wonders how anyone else can.

What it means to

interpret photographs from 30,000 feet

GEORGE FYFE

In these days the interpreta- tion of air photographs is more than ever a closed book to the civilian, and if he hopes for enlightenment he may be dis- couraged. AÐ an R.A.F. authority told me. "The whole Thus equipped, and using thing is rather hush-hush." He their reasoning faculties, they embarked on the task of wring- put the position like this:

After this, it is not at all sur-

Deduction is regarded us permis-

sible in estimating damage not al ways observable. Thus the clear evidence in the Kiel photograph that the root of a main power station had been pierced, and that the roof of the torpedo and gun store in the noval arsenal had also been hit, gave useful information,

With the knowledge the Interpre- ter had of the penetraling power of the bombs used on that occasion he

could safely conclude that the inter- nal damage must have been very extensive.

At the same time fantastic claims are strictly avoided. Interpretations must always be adequately based.

At last, when Venice was freed from Austrian hands seventy years ago and a unified Italy stepped out upon a liberal career. It reemer that Teutonism had been definitely thrown back across the Alps and the struggle ended. But when I first read that Heinkels and Messerschmitts had landed in Stelly,I recalled the remark that an eminent Peruvian made to me recently in Linu, "It has remained for Italy, the mother of the Latin world, to commit the Kreat Betrayal." Ho referred Mussolini's stab-in-the-back at France, but his words were even more pro- phetic, It is the whole Latin civilisa- lion, which was born on the shares of the Mediterranean, that has found its Judins in the Duce.

It is one of Italy's tragedies that since the fall of the Roman Empire, nothing great has long flourished there, Luxurious civilisations have come and 'gone; great achievements have had no sequel, Political tragedy broods over this lovely land, and it is no wonder that so many of her sons have found a wider freedom and a surer future in the pampas of Argentina or the broad coffco lands of Brazil, The supreme curse has now fallen, and by, on net of treachery to the heritage of all Latin peoples.
