Some may think "we lost the war, but wa need only visualise a world under a victorious Germany today to see what wa escaped in 1919. It was our own fault that we did not follow through, and build upon that victory. Rather, we .sat down, as did all the allied nations, and allowed Germany to do the building out of the lessons of the Great War. Today Canada la a much greater potential ally. 8he can put almost a million men In the field If need he, and has an air force approaching 95,000 men. In addition to this Canada offers to United States strategic sites for naval and air bases which will serve at outpoats and buffers against any possible enemy ov assess.

In an article written eight years ago for the Ottawa Journal, a tyaadlan paper. Fuller discussed mechanised warfara of the future, end this article wee later published in pamphlet form, end translated into Russian and Oerman. It gained remarkable sales in both thase countries hut In America and Britain it was seldom heard of, and never believed. It was not published in France. Fuller described the absurdity end inevitable disaster which would follow too mnch reliance upon static fortifications, In an aga destined to be motorised and mechanised. America too has been warned aplenty about reliance upon the Atlantic or Pacific oceans being the "Maginot Line" for this continent. Had Britain and France heeded Fullers warning, and mechanised their guns and been able to hurl tank division! into Belgium when the Germane first drove through. Hitler would today have been digging somewhere cast of Liege, "not for victory but for his life", says Fuller. Today If America can take the warning. Hitler will be digging for hie life somewhere In Europe, when Britain, backed by our munitions and resources, will pat him and his hordea to route. Otherwise America will fight the battle alone, lost as Britain la doing today.
