Gen. George C. Kenney wants the scientists to develop radar to a point where we could watch what goes on all over the world. That's playing peekaboo on a major scale.
If you can check up on what a few of the world leaders are having for breakfast, you can get a good idea whether they'll be looking for trouble or for a spot to lie down and relax. The General figures that if all nations know what everyone else was doing 24 hours in the day, war would be as impractical as sun tan oil on a seal.
