Churchill thus disposed of the cry raised in Parliament and in the press the past week for some form of retaliation against the Gentians, possibly the indiscriminate bombing to destruction of some of their cities, including those not essential to the war effort. The prime Minister also revealed

that:

1. Sortie 60,000 tons of bombs have been dropped by the Allied air forces on flying bomb and rocket targets in France and Germany, the latter objectives including the experimental station at Peenemunde on the Baltic coast. As new sites are constructed or existing ones repaired, new attacks are made. 2. Transport Minister Lord Leathers has arranged additional train .services to assist in the voluntary evacuation of mothers and children from London. 3. Large numbers of building workers are now engaged in repairing damaged buildings and “copious reinforcements” are arriving daily from the provinces. 4. Penicillin will be available fir the treatment of robot bomb casual-

ties.

5. Churchill has appointed a subcommittee responsible directly to him to advise on offensive and defensive methods of dealing with tha flying bombs. 6. Robot bomb casualties henceforth will be announc 'd monthly by the Home Security Ministry “as this battle may be a somewhat lengthy affair.” “There can be no question of allowing the slightest weakening in battle,” Churchill said in concluding his 40-minute speech.
