Stewart Says—
Hitler's Foresight
Paying Dividends
In R. A. F. Attack*
, By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
i SIR WALTER CITRINE S ad-
mission, in a talk before the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor's conven-
tion in New Orleans, that tho
Nazis' aviation bombings of Eng-<
lish cities are "affecting our out-
put of war sup-
plies" was the
flrst candid rec-
ognition that
this country has
had from a
competent Brit-
ish source to
the purport that
Germany's a i r
campaign is be-
ginning to hurt
seriously from a
military stand-
German bombers point.
London's offi-
cial communiques have referred to
a deal of damage done by Herr
Hitler's raiders over John Bull's
isle, but they generally pooh-
poohed the idea, until recently,
that they were putting a danger-
ous crimp into the islanders' arms
output. ^
! Sir Walter Citrine is in a posi-
tion to know what he's speaking
of. He occupies a pest in the Brit-
lsh Trades Union congrcss com-
jparable to William Green's presi-
dency of the A. F. of L. His ap-
peal to Yankee workingmen was to
speed up production here to offset
the partial crippling'of factories in
his home country.
It may seem as If Britain's fly-
ers should have smashed into Ger-
many's activities as formidable as
ge Germans have done Into Brit-
n's, but there's reason for the
'belief that such isn't the case. •
'11" ' German Foresight
England's arms • making plants'
are centralized in a few spots. Ger-
many's are widely scattered. They
total a vast capacity, but no single
one of them is very large. Knock-
ing just a few of their number into
cocked hats doesn't signify greatly (
to the Reich. The others quickly
take up the slack.
The Nazis had tho foresights to
adopt their policy of scatteration
quite a while ago. Our state de-1
partment investigated it rather
more than six years back, and con-
siderable progress had been made
with the plan even then. I'm sure
of It because I'm well acquainted
with one of our consular represen-
u.^.ec, at that juncture >n xyazi-
land. who took a prominent part in
the inquiry.
His account Is that Herr Hitler
not only was distributing his
plants far and wide; he was sub-'
dividing individual Industries into
little peewecs. located here, there
and everywhere. That is to say, a!
good many different parts enter
into the composition of an airplane,
for instance. Adolf's system wasi
to have several factories engaged!
in turning out each of these parts,!
in as many Jerkwater small towns'
—places too inconsequential for an:
aerial raiding party to deem It
worth while to bother with. . The;
parts being ready, the notion wasi
to have them shipped into various
centers (a plurality of them, so as
to have none overly concentrated)
to be assembled into integrated1
planes, . ,
My consular informant's opinion
was and is that it was a program
practically impossible to counter-
act except by the complete de-
struction of Germany's transporta-
tion facilities.
I presume the British were
aware, too. ,
It May Be Too Late
Nevertheless, the British did
nothing - toward a similar de-
concentration on their Island—not
until well after the war started and
German air raids began. At pres-
ent . they're - trying to de-concen-
trate, but It's pretty late in the
day.
Here In the United States, our
national defense commission is dis-
cussing the same thing. It's sug-
gested that our industries might
desirably be sprinkled over the
west instead of being bunched
solidly together in places like
Pittsburgh, Cleveland and East
Chicago. True, these burgs would
not be as easy for the Nazis to
bomb as Birmingham and Man-
chester are. Still, there's the ar-
gument that they're economically
too big, anyway.
■i. That a municipality of little fac-
tories, sprinkled all over our na-
tional landscape, would be better
for our workingmen and their fam-
llies than keeping them herded to-
gether under blg_ city conditions
has been contended by sociologists
tor a long time. Some of them say
aerial warfare may prove to be a'
Wearing in disguise (though a lot
disguise) If it results in spread-
ing our population out, as they've
been advocating all alonr. >

wait all those who fail to use tho
full measure of precaution on tho
public highways through Orange and.I
Orange county from now on as traf-
fic increases and recklessness pre-
vails. Death has already claimed a I
group this year in Orange county
that almost numbers an even dozen,
as a result of traffic accidents. With
the proper precaution, the life of ev-
ery individual killed accidentally
this year could have been saved.

Sid J. Ca ilia vet, who had served
as temporary chairman of the group,
was elected permanent chairman,
with Frank Mepham elected chair-
man of the finance committee.
Mrs. Lula White reported that
there were more than 400 children of
families on relief in the county. It
was estimated that it would take
around $200 to finance the program
and that inasmuch as the WI'A toys
and other gifts available in former
years, would not be given away this
year, it would be necessary to raise
the $200. estimate.
Dr. Gus Evans, representing, tho
Orange Junior Chamber of Com-
merce, asked cooperation of the
group attending this meeting to'co-
operate in the movement to secure

""Greatly^, increased demand for sub-
