Before the World War II, much was said in regard to the advantages and disadvantages of dropping explosives over civilian population centers, but in recent weeks it has been shown that bombing cities has become an in- tegral part of modern war strategy. Students were lukewarm to- ward the idea of bombing civilian populations. However, since the Japanese bombed Manila, strong feeling has flared up in the hearts of every red blooded American to- wards retaliation on our part. Despite this feeling toward the Jane, the Student Opinion Sur— vey revealed that more than one fourth of those interviewed spe cifled that our fliers should at- tempt to strike at military objec- tives only. This is how opinion divides: “Do you approve or disapprove of the U. 8. air force bombing Japanese cities?” Approve 63% Approve. but military ob~ jectives only 29% Disapprove 6% Undecided 2% The problems involved in sing- ling out military objectives, and the geographical difficulties of attacking the Japanese Islands from the air, are, of course, not taken up in this survey. All this. is reflected in the general atti- tude of college students, many of whom, since the army and navy air corps prefer college-trained men, are the potential pilots who will participate in the raids a1— rcady promised the Japanese. Little difference of opinion is shown among the youth in the eastern and western parts of the country. Perhaps it is the near- ness of the Pacific conflict to the westerners and the realization of their own danger from the sky that makes them say “Bomb Jap cities, but only military objec- tives.” East West U.
