 . NIGHT AT A BOMBER STATION


 It is nearly midnight in the Officers’ Mess at an R.A.F. station of the
Bomber Command, Card players are sitting at a table with long glasses of
orangeade and an occasional tankard of beer.


 In an hour’s time meet of them will be flying towards Germany, and since
early afternoon they have known what their task was- going to be. They had
been "briefed" * that is, given their targets for the night and told all
about theta* For more than an hour afterwards each crew has gone into conference,
working out its individual plan of action. Then there has been the long wait
for the "take off".


 The game of cards finishes. The players drift from the mess, but very
few of them go to their bedrooms. Most of them set out across the aerodrome,
making impolite remarks about the drizzle which is ruining visibility. They
have been waiting for hours and the rain is a disappointment. They arrive at
the crew’s quarters, where the sergeants who, though they are all young men,
have done hundreds of hours flying over enemy territory, are pulling on long
wool-lined boots. One of them is whistling a popular tune.


 Cars take them to their aircraft. In another part of the huge field the

officer in charge of night flying is making his final arrangements. He is a

calling everything off because of the weather.

 Near the ’’starting-gate” is the ’’finishing-straight”, known as the

"flare-path", a row of lights visible only from near the ground. A beacon,
used only in emergency, is nearby, and if an intermediate guide is necessary
for incoming aircraft there are floodlights which illuminate the "flare-path"
as at a greyhound track before the start of a race.




 On this occasion the bombers are signalled to take off. Hours pass before
the card players of the previous night begin to come into the mess for a late
breakfast after their return from their long journeys and subsequent interro-
gations.


 They are tired men, who have earned the sleep they are about to take.

 DEMOCRACY MARCHES


 by
 THE RT. HON. RONALD CROSS, M.P,, MINISTER CF SHIPPING



 (Broadcast to the United States of America at 4- a.m. today, Jan, 16)


 We’ve all been following the course of the war against Italy and have
watched that country under series of hard blows.
 recoiling a In Greece, in
the mountains of Albania, on the waters of the Mediterranean and, above all,
in the deserts of Egypt and Libya she’s suffered defeat after defeat. That

splendid army of the Nile has become the spearhead of Britain’s regained
military and offensive strength.


 It may not be possible for us fully to engage our real enemy Germany -

in the air, at sea,' and with the weapon of the blockade.


 So much the more reason then to strike hard, and ever harder, at the
weakest spot in the Axis the Mediterranean. And why,
 armour -

 you may ask,
should we in this country be so optimistic about our military prospects against
Italy? The answer is to be found, not so much in the lack of fighting
qualities of the Italian soldier, as in the anomalies of her military and

economic position.

 The part played by Italy in Germany’s so-called ’’new order” is the key
to her present difficulties and to her certain defeat. When Italy came into
the war in June, it was on the assumption that the defeat of France would

automatically bring with it the defeat of the British Empire. Mussolini
thought he’d take his share of the spoils without a struggle. If he hadn’t

thought that, he could never have entered the war.


 Italy’s preparations in the preceding months of non-belligerency were not
for war they were for victory
 -
 a victory to be achieved by Germany and
 -




shared by Italy. We know now that in those months of non-belligerency, when
Italy as a neutral still had access to the outside world, her own poverty

prevented her from building up stocks sufficient for prolonged hostilities, and

who knows how much of those stocks, so painfully acquired, were paid as
tribute to her German friends.


 Fascist certain of effortless victory that she
 Italy was so an neglected
the equipment of her own army and air-force, while Hitler created an army and
an air-force as powerfully equipped as he could make them. Mussolini merely
trusted to his ability to choose the right moment to jump in.


 Hitler’s judgment was no sounder than Mussolini’s. He knew well that in
 rather than asset.

was certain that Britain would give in. Italy’s doubtful military value didn’t
 events belied his expectations. Britain did not
worry him very much;
surrender, but the weakness of Italy as an ally soon became painfully apparent*


 Modem requires above all the plentiful supply of such vital raw
 war

 timber and rubber, and even
materials coal, iron, oil, non-ferrous metals,
 as

if these and other raw materials are available, they’ve got to be made into
armaments. Italy has neither the raw material, nor the industrial capacity to
equip and maintain a modern army, navy and air-force on a war footing.


 /So long
 -2-


 So long as Mussolini maintained his non-belligerency, he was a partner in
the Axis * a partner whose wishes had to be considered. Once the assumption
that Italy would not have to fight for victory was proved wrong, her inherent
weaknesses became apparent.

 From that moment, Mussolini fell more and more to the position of a vassal.
The real meaning of Hitler’s "new order", namely, the absolute and supreme over-

lordship of Germany, over
 any country within the orbit of her power, including
her friends and allies, was shown up, once and for all.


 Within the order the Continent of
 new on
 Europe, Italy occupies by far the
most ignominious position. She is the only country which fights a war for her
own enslavement#



 Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Hungary and Rumania have been subjected by
various degrees of brutality, terror and compulsion and according to the nature
and degree of their enslavement their hostility to their from
 oppressor ranges
bitter hate to sullen acquiescence# Fascist Italy alone is shedding the blood
of tens of thousands of her own sons, only to make more certain of her servitude
to the Germans, to the so-called "Herrenvolk'*#


 Just consider the extent to which Italy, economically and politically,
delivered herself into the hands of Germany« By forcing upon herself the British
blockade, she has become completely dependent upon Germany’s good pleasure#


 Italy has no domestic coal supplies worth speaking of; her industries and

her population require an extra million tons of coal a month from abroad# Germany
supplies the coal.


 Italy has no domestic resources of oil whatsoever. At the time of her entry
into the war she obtained about three-hundred thousand tons of crude oil from her
oil wells in Albania. Her wanton invasion of Greece has been a boomerang, which
has now largely destroyed this source of supply. Apart from her own accumulated

stocks, Italy depends on foreign supplies for this vital raw material# But it

was Germany who occupied Rumania and in so doing gained complete control over

Italy’s source of oil supply#


 Iron-ore, timber, zinc, and other raw materials vital to the economic life
of country, similarly can only
 a be obtained by Italy from - or through - the

goodwill of Germany. Fascist Italy, that couldn’t bear to be a prisoner, as they
called it, of Suez and Gibraltar, has become tied hand and foot to the boot of the

German conqueror. Italy is completely at the mercy of Berlin, because with one

stroke the Fuehrer can starve Italy of her vital supplies,


 recently concluded German-Italian agricultural agreement, under which
 The
Germany provides a stable market at fixed prices for a large nunber of Italian
agricultural products is very significant# This agreement is almost word for
word a replica of similar arrangements imposed by Germany upon Bulgaria and

Rumania, and they are not partners# Needless to say, Germany’s interests come

first in these compulsory agreements#


 Already we see how Germany, in the knowledge of being complete master of
Rome, is slowly dropping even the
 pretext of equality. Compare for instance the
food situation in Nazi Germany with that in Fascist Italy. Enriched by the
spoils of war taken from the occupied countries, Germany’s food supply at present

is relatively plentiful.
 /An

 An American observer, Charles in broadcast December
 Lainius, an N.B.C. on

29th, said he surprised to find how easy it was to get food in Berlin.
 was ”So
far to-day", he said, "I’ve had meat twice, butter and ice-cream, and number
 any
of vegetables". He then went to say that
 on he was impressed most of all by the
White bread, having just from where the bread contained of
 come Rome, corn-

meal and other grains.

 That very day series of drastic decrees announced in
 same a new were Italy.
Briefly, these severe measures provide; first, for a census of all available
food supplies; second, compulsory purchase and requisitioning; third, provision
of supplies primarily for the army, and only then, for the civil population;
fourth, much more
 drastic rationing of the number of staple foods, and fifth,
increasedpenalties for contravention of the food regulations, ihcluding the
death penalty.


 The death penalty can now be imposed where any large quantity of food has
been kept back from normal circulation, and a well-stocked store-room is as good
as a death-warrant. In announcing these
 measures, the Fascist authorities
kindly pointed out that the good Italian people had at once realised how serious
the food problem had become by immediately eating very much less.

 At the same time, the German Press was glorying in the special concessions
made in the German food distribution during Christmas; food, mind you, taken
from the Poles, Norwegians, Butch, Danes, Belgians and French, and to add indult
to injury a German paper -
 The Frankfurter
 Zeitung was thoughtful enough to -




advise the Italians that "even if
 Italy’s supply position should become less
favourable, a reserve is still available in the modest living demands of the

population".


 Or, to take another example, of how the Axis brotherhood in arms, of which
we hear so much, is working in practice, let us see how much nearer Fascist Italy
has come to its goal of winning
 more living space. Germany, in her mad dreams
of conquest, already hopefully taken within her frontiers large parts of
 has

Poland, Luxembourg, Alsace and Lorraine as distinct from the territories which
she merely occupies for the duration of the war.




 And yet Italy, who entered the war with the cry for Corsica, Tunis and Savoy*
isn’t allowed to occupy even a town in Savoy the Riviera, or Corsica, to say
 or

nothing of the French Empire in Africa. Hungary, traditionally an Italian
sphere of influence, has fallen under German, rather than Italian, control. And

nor has
 Italy been allowed to take even a nominal part in the vital negotiations
between Vichy and Berlin.


 The last
 vestige of equal partnership between Rome and Berlin has gone.
Hitler alone decides. If it suited his diplomacy, he would happily exchange the
Italian ally for another and more useful one. In fact, Hitler in his dealings
with Mussolini merely repeats the same old process of looking down with
 contempt
on those whose help was useful in the past, but which is no longer needed now.

 To be of Hitler’s is dangerous than to be his enemy.

learnt his lesson from that.Germany is not only the political
 But and economic

master of Italy, she is also assuming direct military control.


 The dispatch to Italy of units of the Nazi air-force is a humiliation, a


kind gesture which restricts still further Italy’s freedom of action. It’s

 /obvious
 -ip-


obvious that large sections of the Italian nation, in the army, the church, the

working classes, and the aristocracy, are becoming painfully aware of the role
played by Italy in Hitler’s "new order”. The resignation of Marshal Bagdolio
 due
was clearly not to the Albanian issue alone; the latest development in
Italo-German relations had a good deal to do with it.


 And so, weakness of morale is added to Italy’s natural economic and

industrial weakness, and every new defeat inflicted upon Italy’s army will
progressively widen the rift between the Fascist leadership and the best elements
of that misguided nation. Italy is the weakest part of the Axis.

 But that doesn’t mean that Britain’s military efforts against her are easy;

nor are they of little importance in relation to Britain’s total war effort* By
fighting Hitler's battle in the ‘mediterranean, Fascist Italy forces us to keep in
that part of the world an important part of our navy and air-force, which is
urgently needed to deal with Hitler’s sea and air attacks on the British Isles and

on British shipping.

 However badly Italy is faring herself, she’s still doing a useful job for
Berlin. We must face the fact that the war is only just beginning. The successes

of General Wavell’s army are inspiring. After months and months of black skies,
it’s cheering to get a glimpse of the sun, but it’s far too early to say there’s
a break in the clouds.



 The most encouraging feature -
 the battles of Solium and Bardia - is the proof
of the efficiency of our newly trained armies and of the wonderful fighting
qualities of the men and of the excellence of their equipment. It certainly is

cheering to get a glimpse of the sun; and the skies are lightening for us in the
West. The great efforts of your countrymen are making a warm and comfortable glow

on our horizon, and we are happy in the knowledge that your country is at one in
its support of a policy of all aid to Britain, short of war.



 When a boy at school is forced to fight a bully, and through the scuffle he
hears the onlookers cheer him on, it does him good and encourages him particularly -




if the bully is a dirty, mean fighter. But when a big boy shouts "Hang on just a


bit, I’ll help you all I can", it gives a fellow renewed strength.

 A black
 eye, and bleeding nose, even hits below the belt - and England’s had

many don’t matter.
 -
 We know we can hang on -we know we can take any punishment
and give it back.


 We feel we’re getting our second wind; we feel we know the thug’s tricks, and
when we hear of the aeroplanes you’re sending, of the ships you’re building, of the
 the tanks, the shells and all the thousand things that gigantic war makes
guns,
necessary, all coming as fast as human hands and brains can speed them, we recognise
the voice of that big boy: "Help’s coming -I’ll send you all I can".

 MINISTER OF HEALTH S MESSAGE TO' LOCAL
 AUTHORITIES.



 The Minister of Health, Mr o
 Malcolm MacDonald, has sent to
the members and officials of all Local Authorities in England
and Wales, through their Associations, "greetings and good wishes
for the tasks that lie ahead, and an expression of the Government’s
deep admiration and gratitude for their accomplishments in the
past year,” :



 ”1 doubt", says Mr 0 MacDonald, "whether the immense and
varied responsibilities which have fallen upon Local Authorities,
and the capable way in which they have exercised them, are fully
grasped by the public. This is due partly to the need to give
little publicity to, some details of the damage done in air raids,
and therefore to shut off the searchlight from the Local
Authorities’ achievements in
 repairing that damage* But I have
opportunities of watching daily? both in broad perspective and
also in considerable detail, the war service of Local Authorities

 front, pay tribute
 many on

to it. The Local Authorities have indeed borne much of the brunt
of the battle for our ln some instances they have had
to deal with and overcome wanton wreckage of
 buildings and
services on a scale never before experienced in our history, but
throughout the more peaceful areas also they have been continuous-
ly engaged for many months on what are essentially war operations.

 ’’Where the battle has been waged most sharply and hotly
there have been large numbers of wounded women and children
 men,
to be rescued from the of and
 scenes catastrophe, to be borne
swiftly to first aid posts and hospitals. In addition, sick and
injured people already in hospital have frequently had to be

evacuated from buildings damaged by fire, or high explosive bombs,
But the casualty list of houses has been far heavier than that
of human beings, and thousands of unscathed,families.with.their
dwellings killed or wounded have had to be found -new,homes. ..The
damage to the vast majority of these houses has fortunately been
repairable; and it has been imperative that large numbers of
them should be. repaired always within a short time following the
raids. Then amongst the debris water mains lie broken,
imperilling domestic and industrial supplies, and sewage works or

mains have been put out of action. Local officials have had to

organise their rapid restoration, These are a few examples from
a wide assortment of urgent battle tasks that fall to local
authorities voluntary and Regional helpers after every
 and their

successive vain attempt by the enemy to destroy our resources
and smash the will of our people to pursue the war to victory.


 "Both on the morrow of such raids, and continuously in the
breathing spaces between them, there have also been what may be
described as strategic manoeuvres behind the front line. For

example, women and children have been taken from the towns to
the relative peace and safety of the countryside. The work of
organising evacuation has been shared between the authorities at
either end, but by far the greater burden is falling upon the
authorities and residents in the reception areas,

”In some cases the increases in population have "been anything
between 50 per cent and 70 per cent within a comparatively
short space of time; yet somehow those responsible in the

reception areas have managed, smilingly, to make the necessary

 ”It would be foolish to assert that eW7Local

all these unprecedented duties and actions. There have been

 The Board of Admiralty regrets to announce that H.M.S. SOUTHA?£?TON

(Captain 8.C.8. Brooke ? R.N.) has become a total loss. As announced on

the 14th January H.M.b. SOUTBUCPTON was hit during air attacks on our


ships in the Mediterranean. Fire broke out on board. As the result of

damage, the fire later attained such proportions that it became necessary
to abandon the ship. H.M.S. SOUTrLwIPTON had subsequently to be sunk by
our own forces, when it was found impracticable to tow her into port.

 SCRIPT OF A BROADCAST ON CAR LIGHTING-,BY MR. WILLIAM MABANE,M.P.
 ,

 PARLIMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE MINISTRY OF HOME SECURITY IN THE HOME
 SERVICE, AFTER 9 P.M. NEWS.




 I want to talk about lights on the roads -on motorcars, lorries, bicycles. It's a
difficult matter. In one
 way, it would be best if there were no lights at all, but that
would hold up the life of the country in a way we can't contemplate. So we’ve devised

Regulations which provide lights of real use to road users with the smallest risk of being
seen from the air. In making our plans we have been guided by airmen who have told us v/hat

they can see and what would be of use to them if they were enemy raiders.



 Nevertheless, a lot of people think the lights on the roads are too bright. From all

parts of the country complaints come of vehicles on the road revealing something, so it’s

thought, to the look at the lights from eye-level. If the Regulations

complied with, then the lights can’t be too bright, and in many cases of complaint it’s the

complainants who are wrong and the motorists who are right. If, I say. But there are

 interpreted the Regulations correctly. They haven’t bothered to dim their side-lamps

suitable pace. The Government pattern of mask is the one you should use. I know - I’ve

 A HEAVY /aTTACK CN '.HLHELIISH/WN


 After the first wave of aircraft of Bomber Command had arrived at
Wilhelmshaven last night, it was only necessary for the strong force which
followed to find the Dutch coast; from there onwards they were led by the
 in the Holland and
glare sky right across across some 50. miles of Germany,
to the waste of flame whj_ch was all that
 many pilots could see when they
reached the main base of the German North Sea Fleet.



 The chief focus of our attack was the Bauhafen, the great square
harbour joined by the Hafen canal to the outer harbours and to the sea.

In a restricted area around this harbour are crowded slipways and docks,
engineeering works of all kind, storehouses, assembling sheds, armour-


plate shops, foundries, iron works and gun stores. In the dry dock of

the Marinewerfte on the north 24 submarines can
 be built at the same time
and the harbour with its great floating cranes, was designed to
take the largest warships. The main railway station at Wilhelmshaven
lies few hundred
 a
 yards to the south-west but there are power stations
closer still both to the north and the south of the harbour* To the east
there are
 many naval barracks.


 When they returned there was no need to ask the pilots which of this

huge collection of objectives had been hit or sot ablaze. The areas of

raging fire which pilots reported covered thousands of
 our
 square yards
on each side of the harbour, and a large proportion of the military
objectives of Wilhelmshaven lay within this area.




 "It was more like stoking than ’bombing”, a pilot said. "We just
shovelled our bombs into the fires and watched them increase".

 times the sweeping flames and the black smoke above them obscured all

'etail, but at intervals some signal instance of disaster prevailed above the

general conflagration* A minute after one pilot had seen his high explosive
bombs burst there was an astonishing disturbance among the flames and debris

was thrown by an explosion a thousand feet into the air; three minutes later
the same thing happened again*

flames burnt even more fiercely than elsewhere.

 As our aircraft left, all such details were swiftly lost to sight but the
 \aze remained to light the sky behind them for a hundred and thirty miles of
the homeward journey. This first attack of the night lasted from eight in the

evening until soon after midnight. A second attack was made between five and

six in the morning and the pilots who were over at this hour saw the Bauhafen
still encircled by wide ramparts of fire. Though the moon was still shining

brightly the smoke of these fires hid part of the tow but the pilots had no
real difficulty in finding their way to the naval dockyards.


 And their attack was as successful, within its limits, as the previous
large scale raid. They started many new fires and also encouraged the flames

they had found burning when they arrived.


 The weather favoured both attacks, and, throughout the night visibility
was excellent. Beyond Wilhelmshaven several pilots saw banks of lew cloud

massing in the distance, but the city itself was exposed throughout the whole
period of the raids.

 BRITISH SOLDIERS AS "CHORUS” IN OLD LIBYAN FORT.




 An R.A.F. officer overtaken by a sandstorm while making for Tobruk
took refuge in an old Libyan fort. The stronghold was built high on the

escarpment, about two miles from the track leading to El Adem and was little

more than a windswept heap of stones and rubble There
 were, however,
two or three small stone structures inside the outer Wall where shelter
seemed possible The Whole place was enshrouded with a dense yellow sand
fog. Visibility was impossible eVen for a distance of three yards. To

breathe was like sucking in sulphur fumes. A donkey brayed, and very

dimly through the sand cloud the animal led the way to what was once a

stable.

destroyed two German night raiders. One of the bombers came down
 on land near the Thames Estuary, two of the crew being taken

 prisoner. The other crashed on the outskirts of a town in
Essex.



 The pilot’s two victories were scored in the coarse of two

separate patrols, the first shortly after midnight and the second
some four hours later# He shot down his first victim y
 a Heinkel

“bullets and with “both engines out of action, the “bomber crashed

near an Essex market town with an explosion that shook the
neighbourhood. The sole survivor of the crew who escaped “by
parachute was promptly captured.

 The pilot’s second victim was intercepted over Essex* The
raider, damaged by the first hurst of fire,turned for home hut
was re-engaged and shot down before it could cross the coast. Two
of the crew were seen to abandon the machine by parachute and

 The Preas Service of Free France in London stated to‘~day:


 Radio Lyons broadcast yesterday a «tatement by a ’’French Naval Officer” who, on his

return from Tahiti asserted that British forces have taken possession of that island.

Tahiti belongs to France and beVc now rallied to Free France. There are no British

forces, whether Naval or military, nor
 any British civil authority in the whole of the

French possessions in the Pacific.



 The Governor of Tahiti, M. de Curton, is under the authority of M. Sautot, Free
French High Commissioner in the Pacific, whose residence is at Noumea, New Caledonia.



 Moreover, Tahiti is making a great military effort. Several kindred voluntary
recruits have been equipped. These are in additional to the normal garrison which is
under the command of its regular officers. These volunteers, on canpie ting their
training, will join the other Free French Forres in various theatres of war.,

 The Italians had made El Adem a very comfortable base. There were billiard
tables in the officers quarters, shower baths and up-to-date kitchens.
 Tennis

and badminton courts were laid out, and contributed to the ghostly desolation

of the scene.


 In the office of the El Adem aerodrome commander was a collection of war


souvenirs. These included of British bombs which had fallen the
