BOMBING-POLICY
Slav,—It Mr. Kempson will re-read Mr. Spaight's article, he will see that strategic bombing of which Mr. Spaight says night bombing
constitutes the main part, is a British " speciality " This country conducted large-scale night bombing operations for three and a half months before Germany made a large-scale reply.
Mr. Kempson noes not th:nk that a " no bombing " compact with Hitler could have been of any value to anyone in the world : yet the British Government thought it at least worth while instructing Sir Nevile Henderson, as his last official act before leaving Berlin, to exchange assurances with the German Government that the conven- tion prohibiting gas and bacteriological warfare would be respected. So far Germany and this country have observed that undertaking. Why should not a ban also be placed on night bombing? Apart from its horrors, an increasing volume of opinion doubts its military value.
