Only time can tell whether that doctrine is sound. In its favor is the fact that, even in peacetime. Europe is not self-sufficient. Saddled with war, it is short of food and many of the necessities of war, such as oil, steel-hardening metals, rubber. Some of his necessities Hitler has relieved by his conquests to date, and others he may relieve by future conquests, but every conquest adds to his problems of ruling conquered countries and conquered peoples. Franklin Roosevelt had chosen as the cornerstone of his military doctrine that if Hitler is locked up with his victims...
...bleeding canker disease, which appeared in New England ten years ago and makes trees ooze from small fissures, is now being treated by injections like those given to man and animals. A small hole is bored into the trunk, a rubber hose inserted and connected with a slow-seeping bottle of organic chemicals...

The British Government announced last week that it had obtained copies of an order by Admiral Darlan to French merchant captains to scuttle their ships rather than submit to British capture-the order including descriptions of the best German-tested scuttling methods...
...attached electrodes to the man's brain and heart, tried vainly to stimulate them. He injected an adrenalin compound into the heart, meanwhile compressing the chest. No results. Only sign of life: when he struck the man's forearm with a rubber hammer, it twitched like a knee jerk. After two hours, Dr. Brickley pronounced him "dead beyond recall." Electrocution, said Dr. Brickley last week, kills in three different ways: 1) it heats the body abnormally, coagulating the blood; 2) it contracts the muscles, choking off the body's supply of oxygen; 3) it produces rupture...
