trt don't know why Uio great
show, with ll unuccualomed
accompaniment of almost fever
ish publlcjly, wan staged, but
.wo still Imvo tho fllng that
for a few hour on Wednesday
wo were spectators at a pro
view of event to como.
rRITISH obacrvers assert to
dny that allied command of
tho 'lr,' not only over Britain
and tho chnnncl but fur Inland
over enemy-held territory, la
now complete and beyond chal
lenge. Every military authority of
any importance hoi been telling
u for months that beforo the
allies (we and tho British) can
hope to Invade Europe we must
have complete command of the
air; first over BrIUIn Itself, then
over the coasts on which a land
ing must be mad and after that
far enough Inland to head off
-German reinforcement hasten
" Ing to tho defense of the at
tacked coasts.
. That Is why these estimates of
command of the air are import-
. ; , ;. sJ;
YOU noted, of course, that
while Dieppe was under com
, rriarido attack;- American Flying
Fortresses were attacking ' the
important German lighter plane
base at Abbeville, a few miles
to the north. Today 'Flying
Fortresses - attacked railway
yards at Amlons.
Take a look at your map
here. You will find Amiens
obout 80 miles Inland from Diep
pe nd Abbeville It ii an Im
portant junction point of rail
roads leading from the intorlor
to the channel coast, 1
It. Is obvious that when (and
.0 the channel coast Is attacked
'.i EARNEST these railroads
will be Jammed with Gorman
reinforcements rushing up to
" tho threatened point,
T ET'S do a little guossing
here.
When (and if) an Invasion of
western Europe is launched,
railroads and highways will bo
unbelievobly necessary to tho
Germans.
This much Is practically cer
tain: BEFORE such an Invasion is
launched, our side will under
take to destroy or at least ser
iously damage the communica
tion lines by which German ro
inforcements must be brought
In.
Watch all these attacks on
railroad centers. They will be
significant.

Fierce Battle .
Reported Raging
Off Portugal
rLISBON, , Aug. " 21 (AP) A
report -from Algarve Province
tonight said a fierce naval arid
air battle was raging off Cape
Saint Vincent, the southwest tip
of Portugal. , :
The dispatch did not say who
was. fighting, and gave no par-,
ticulars of the reported engage
ment. . : Cape St. Vincent is famous in
naval history as the scene of
many encounters, notably , a
British victory over the Spanish
February 14, 1797.
Roosevelt said one thing had
been emphasized.
He named this as , the iact
that a great many people over
the world get from American
news dispatches the Idea that
our production is being hurt to
a very large extent by strikes. '
There will be a threatened
strike in one small plant that
will last 24 hours or a 24-hour
shutdown by. management In
another small plant and these
incidents are so handled by
news agencies, Mr. Roosevelt
said, as to make other countries
think they are the rule Instead
of the exception. He said Brit
ish leaders had gained the same
Impression but that he had told
them the total production af
fected was Infinitesimal and
they were much surprised. -,
