must also be given substantial credit
for its insistence on the importance

Northcliffe in France: toe French
people had implicit faith in their
military leaders and in the strength
of their defenses; but toe French
military leaders were too wedded to
outmoded methods of warfare to
provide toe necessary tanks and air
planes or even to agitate for them
with sufficient vigor. If toe real facts
had been known to toe French pub
lic, reforms might have been forced

As long as this country remains
even in a technical state of peace,
certainly its course regarding the
publicity to be given to defense
progress is reasonably clear. It ought
to publish at regular intervals, prob

are commissioned, toe country should
learn of them. 'There should be a

may happen again.
