Mimic War Against London to Aid Their running-Bombers

. Pcnetnts Dctciau, st Bony.

(n; The Canadian rigqn ‘ LONDON. Aug. lb-Vitul points in and around the sprawling mass of London, greatest of the world's cities and geographically the most vulnerable to air attack, were the objectives of 92 bombing raids which penetrated the defense sys- tem during the Royal Air Force mimic war. Hostillties spread over three days and three nights engag- ed nearly 300 bombers and fighting planes in a picturesque struggle notable for dramatic speed of action and sudden, unexpected incident;

This year's mass air exercises re- turned io the problem which last received large-scale practical study in 1928-40 what extent is the capit- al's defense organization competent to cope with out tinuous, purposeful raiding? On the one hand was the mythical fleet oi 10 squadrons oi day and night bombers; on the oth- er, the l2 fighter squadrons of "Red- land," a country described as hav- lng London as its capital, aided by an elaborate network of observa- tion and listening posts, and search- llghts linked with and controlled by air defense headquarters.

The "war" was marked inevitably by certain unreallties. Attacking air- craft were obliged to fly higher than 5,000 feet over London itself, to avoid risk of damage to property. The anti-craft gun batteries took no active part, and "standing ob- stacles" likely to afford powerful, if passive, defence were not employed. Results of combats between fighters and bombers were assessed by um- pires, a substitution for the grim end of actual battle, which intro- duced an element oi uncertainty about the fate and subsequent his- tory of machines engaged. Further, counterattack by bombers attached to the defence-a form of deterrent action certain of extensive employ- ment in any future war-played no port. Perhaps the net result was slightly to weight the scales in fav- or oi the attack.

Durlng the hours oi daylight for- mations of clay bombers, flying high or low according to orders of “Blue- land's" commander, were sent signal to launch successive attacks which form a. protective ring round it. The onset of darkness was the signal to launc hsuccesslve attacks by single night-bombers, big ma- chines of long air endurance and able to carry heavy bomb- loads. Again at dawn the day bombing for- mations came into action.

Axiometic 1n the conduct oi an aerial raid is the avoidance of com- bat. The task of the bombing ‘plane is to reach the objective, drop its deadly load, and then-return homo as rapidly as possible. No time must he lost in getting back; if defen" _, fighters bring the bomber to battle he must endeavour to maintain a running fight without getting off the course for home or wasting time in “dog fight" evolutions. Thus the measure of successful interception by defending craft gives an excellent idea of the swing of victory to one side or the other.

55 Tons of Bombs

An official summary of the "war" states that the aircraft considered to have penetrated the defences "dropped" s4 tons of high explos- ive and one and a quarter tons of incendiary bombs on predetermined objectives. But of the twenty-four daylight raids no less ‘than twenty were intercepted by defending fight- ers on the way to or from London, and thirty-nine of the sixty-eight raiders during the night-time were also brought to combat by the de- fence. This marks a. high standard of successful air Anterception and the figures of machine casualties assessed by the umpires-lit "Blue- land" bombers and 69 "Redland" flshters “destroyecv in aerial com- bat-pay further tribute to the de- fenders.

Low raids by swift day bombers during the day, directed mostly at defending aerodromes, andthrilling aerial battles at heights oi less than 1,000 feet above the ground which silmetlmw eusaged simultaneously thirty or forty aeroplanes, provided Pfifhflllfl the most " moments of the war. Less spectacular, but of paramount importance, was the s}. tonlshing celerity shown by certain fi5hter_squadrons in getting of! the ground-intercept the enemy. on; unit, equipped with the new "Fury" single-senator biplanes which climb faster than any other war ‘plane in the world and can exceed 21o miles on hour with full load aboard, woo actually in the air one minute and forty seconds after the alarm was received at the IBYOCIPOIIIO.

. BY D. O, ‘I58 (United PHI B“! Correspondent)

PEIPING, Aug. 12. (ILPJ-‘A vig- orous .' dispute among different groups of Chinese, is forum not: over the question of whether the National Government shall estab- lish on opium monqooly.

It is known tint a. monopoly h" opened “opium , hlbitlon bur- eaus" in covers! cities which are considered by some ‘Chinatown be the first sicp~ toward establishing s. monopoly. < 1t is known that o monopoly has been under consideration by the government for several months. A proposal was submitted to the 80V- ernment late in 1030 by Dr. Wu Llen-teh, eminent oilinyie physician that a monopoly be established for 15 years, as the noost efficient means of stopping the traffic.

Dr. Wu outlined his proposal lat- er in an article in “The Chinese Nation," 5 Shanghai weekly. Hyde- scribed trefiic in opium as an "op- en scandal," ‘ha fold the govern- ment would do well to admit fall- uro in the attempt to prohibition the traffic and frankly establish a mon- opoly by which the traffic could be gradually reduced-

28 Million Pounds

Production of opium in Chin; at

present was estimated at 26 mil- lion pounds per mnum by Dr. Wu. He pointed out that the immense revenue from production and sale of opium goes largely to independ- ent milltary commanders, who 511p- port their huge armies from this source. He argued that if the gov- emment established a. monopoly it can curb the power of independent militarlsts as well as reduce the traf ric gradually. ' The arguments for and against the monopoly are very similar to those for and against prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States. Dr. Wu and other influent- ial men argue that prohibition is imipossible without government control. An opposition group argues that the use of opium is immoral, and should not be countenanced by the government under any clmun- stances.

Dr. Wu frankly stated, "We have the glaring example of the powerful and well organized United states of America. which in spite of its ad- vantages has not been able to solve the problem of prohibition among a population only one-fourth oi ours." ,

Party Divided

The Kuomintsng, the party which controls we government, is under- stood to be sharply divided on the question of the proposed monopoly. Some influential members oppose a monopoly under any circumstances, while others believe it is the only practical solution of the problem.

"Vested interests" have‘ been built up in the illegal traffic fully as pow erful as bootleg interests in the United States. Naturally they op- pose a monopoly. Several provincial governors are openly deriving rev- enue from opium, taxing farmers who grow it and merchants who sell it. They are not likely to relinquish these large revenues to the central government without a struggle.

The drug problem in Chin; is not confined to opium. Other narcotics are imported illegally by foreigners and the use of heroin is gwwlns. medical men hers declare. This traffic can be controlled only by international cooperation, and Dr. Wu Lieh-teh suggests an internat-

orate sound-locsiors, did magnificent service. Men oi every class, retired army and navy artisans, artisanseta army and navy officers, artisans and professional men, took their turns of duty in this veritable first line of England's sir defence. So ef- ficient is the. organization that bar- ely half a minute suffices for the report of raiders overhead to pass by telephone right to the office of the air defence commander-ln-chlei. Thirty seconds after the observer locates the enemy a tiny flag show- ing his exoct position at t mom- ent is pinned on the operations map at headquarters. Frequently, too, the observer ls able to give a good estimate of the height at which the enemy is flying.

The non-regular squadrons oi bombers attached to the "Blueland" forces, two units of the Auxiliary Air Force (sometimes called the "Air terrltoriols") flew with splen- did ludginent. and on some raids eluded tho defence to score heavily in bomb attacks on important ob- jectives. ‘Though flying machines many miles an hour slower than the swift "Hart" biplanes flown by two of thoregularfibl ‘ "' -' -s the auxiliary airmen,‘ thanks to skill- ful end imaginative loading, gave the defence many anxious hours. Like tho observers, the auxiliary afr- men include men of all classes who devote their spore time sud holidays to training which will no them to toko o prominent port in defending

their country in any future con- flint.
