Fiddlers Meet

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Associated Press Staff Writer
With the end of the war in Fin-
• land, the veil of censorship lifts and
reveals circumstances of that strug-
gle that cannot fail to influence the
strategy and tactics of Allied and
Germany military leaders.
While the Russo-Finnish war
failed, as did German swift
crushing of Polish resistance,
• to supply any answer to the
riddle of sea versus air power,
it did re-emphasize factors that
still are holding the German-
Allies conflict mainly to a war
of economics.
"Now-it-can-be-told" eye witness
accounts by neutrals of what hap-
pened in Finland reveal two cir-
cumstances of prime interest in re-
lation to their effect on the great-
est war.
Russian complete mastery of the
air from the start was a contribut-
and homes and port facilities, but West Texans in the next two
did not blast the Finnish army out weeks will give serious study to the
of its Mannerheim forts.
Russian heavy guns undermined
Finnish gun emplacements, twisting
them askew and thereby making
their fire power ineffective. Air
bombs did not share importantly
in that phase. Nor by the test of
experience in Finland can air pow-
er by direct action figure in deter-
mining the fate of the far stronger
French and German fortified lines
if frontal attack as attempted there.
Red air power did crucify
Finnish transport on a scale not
yet set down in lives lost or
damage wrought, but it was
Russian air mastery from the
start that made that possible.
German and Allied war strateg-
ists need fear no repetition of that
