Two raiders over the south-west coast of England last night did little damage. GERMAN VILLAGES NOT ENOUGH TO GROUND. REPLY TO SUGGESTION IN COMMONS. LONDON, June 18. The Deputy-Prime Minister, Mr Attlee, said in the House of Commons that the R.A.F. would be used against the most effective targets in Germany. He was asked if it would, not be possible to inform Germany that for every innocent person murdered in occupied countries the R.A.F. would bomb 1 an undefended German village. Mr Attlee said there would not be enough German villages to go round. He added that Germany would be attacked where the bombs would have the greatest effect.
