In the fall of 1942 when we went out on a financial campaign with the Salvation Army we promised the public that we would not be out on another financial campaign before 1944. We kept this pledge to the public and I feel that it was only fair that we should do so. Since the first of the plans for o, financial have received a great deal of considera- tion on the part of the directors and you no dbubt saw in the press that we are going out on a build- ing campaign commencing on June 5th.

Nazis Adopt “Ilfiser” Policy In Air Warfare

LONDON. May 9—(AP)—The

Germans have adopted a "miser"; policy of air warfare at the expense of both the civilian population and vital industry in order to scragr together a large air force to strl e at Allied invasion forces on D.-day. top-ranking American airmen said today. Whatever the Germans do. even the most conservative British and American leaders believe that the Allies can win complete control of the alr in from seven to 10 days af- fer start of the invasion.

All Allied air sources confirm that production of aircraft has been cut by precision bombings below the point where the German air force can carry on full-scale air war and survive. _

So the Gennans are only de- fending their most precious targets when public opinion forces them to do so.

They are making no attempt to defend the outer-fringes of Eur- ope ercven large parts of the home- . land. American daylight bombers| meet heavy opposition only over the ' heart of Germany around Berlin. Brunswick and vital parts of Aus- tria such as Revensburg.
