Figures on America’s military
power are provided only for com
parative purposes.
Though the
United States has abandoned her
policy of complete isolation, her
neutrality position is stronger than
it was in the World war, when
American aid was deemed neces
sary to crush Germany's imperial
ism.
Thus the lineup of great powers
finds Germany and Italy on one
side, opposed by Great Britain,
France and Russia. Such European
countries as Jugo-Slavia, Rumania
and Hungary are minor factors.
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and Finland have avowed
their intention of escaping compli
cations.
Here, then, are the figures. In
actual army strength — including
standing forces, airmen and re
serves—Russia, France and Great
Britain have 26,725,000 men. Italy
and Germany have less than half,
or 10,725,000.
Great Britain’s navy is alone big
ger than the combined fleets of Italy
and Germany, whose tonnage is
1,107,032. Britain’s 1,758,478 tons,
plus 699,342 tons from France,
makes an opposition force of 2,457,-
820 tons. Some of this naval equip
ment will not be ready to use for
several months, but the actual ratio

Despite the fearsome thunderings of Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini, a* paradox of war-mad Europe is that the foes of
Germany and Italy have far superior military equipment.
Though Rome and Berlin may shout and boast, a cold anal
ysis of comparative strength shows that the inevitable "allies”
can eventually defeat them in a war which might last as long
as two years.
This fact has long gone unnoticed. It was not brought out
until a few weeks ago when Germany opened her autumn
maneuvers and began looking with hostile eyes at little Czecho
slovakia, whose Sudeten German minority has allegedly been
discriminated against.
Though Czechoslovakia herself is weak, though even Great
Britain has a surprisingly small armed force, the mighty power
of Russia and France is some-*
thing to be reckoned with. Rus at the present time is about the

It's interesting, this time of year,
to see what programs the big spon
sors have lined up. Here's a sample

offered by Haile Selassie’s forces.
And in China the Japs have met
with similar resistance. Shanghai
was not captured overnight by a
terrific bombing attack; the cam
paign lasted closer to five months.
The most striking example of
modem warfare is in Spain, where
two powerful forces are fighting
their battles along tactics similar
to those used in the World war. Ma
drid was bombed hundreds of times
and still found itself able to hold
out against Generalissimo Franco’s
rebel troops.
Thus, militarists of 1938 are of the
opinion that warfare has not
changed much in the past 20 years.
As in the World war, the doughboy
is the most vital factor in land con
flict. A similar comparison can be
made on the sea, where the battle
ship is still the backbone of the
fleet despite mighty naval planes
developed in recent years.
