LONDON DAMAGE
TESTIMONY OF SWEDISH OBSERVER. LONDON, Oct. 14. I The London correspondent of a Stockholm newspaper, in reviewing the German raidb, says: “After six weeks of attacks from the air London is so little damaged that it still remains the centre of Britain’s war effort. The damage to buildings is less than 4 per cent. “I am more than ever convinced from what I have seen that bombing from the air cannot decide the war unless one side is so superior that the other’s defences can be broken down, and this is not the case with London.” He added that it was possible to take a quarter of an hour’s bus ride anywhere without seeing more than broken and scattered glass.
