Hitler on the Spot?
Russia's claim of air superiority on the eastern front may be open to question, but it could be so in view of the number of planes and aviators Hitler must have to keep in the west to fight off the destructive day-and-night British raids on his rear lines, communications and war industries. Ernest Bevin, British labor minister, said recently that British air production now equals Hitler's. The ratio of British losses in the current raids over Germany and the occupied countries being well below the theoretical danger point of 10 per cent, it seems likely that the raids can be continued almost indefinitely. It is obvious that Hitler cannot

Invasion Is Feared
Hitler's concern is manifested in his effort to swing subjugated France into line as a bulwark for his rear. He evidently fears large-scale commando raids,.or even mass invasion. He now is reported to have sent Field Marshal Karl Von Rundstedt from Russia to France to bolster his position, Mr. Bevin also observed that American airplane production shortly will exceed, the combined output of Germany, Italy and Japan. This should cause concern to both ends of the axis, because these American planes already are being shipped in large numbers to the Far East as well as to Britain, Russia and the Middle East.
