HITLER'S NEW
DESIGN FOR WAR

WIN, lose or draw, Adolf Hitler and
his generals are revolutionzing modern
warfare-and doing it on a scale so
broad that even the non-military layman
can understand it. Perhaps that is why
Htlers armies have had so much success.
They have shucked off all the old beliefs,
and so bewildered their opponents by do
ing it that they have not only the physi-
cal but the mental advantage as well.
In the first place, Hitler has put into
practice the thing that all observers
have long realized-that war is an utter
lack of civilized law. Where others have
been content to abide by the rules that
heretofore have governed wars slaughter,
he has stepped over the boundaries and
broken all rules. Where others have been
content to slaughter mankind within we'll
defined boundaries, he has decided that
since mankind is to be slaughtered, there
should be no boundaries
More important from military stand
point, perhaps, is Hitler's new concep-
tion of the actual tactics of battle
1t used to be that an army proceeded
slowly, assaulting enemy strongholds and
spending its force against the places
where enemy strength was concentrated.
In the World War. for instance, Ger
many's broad objective was subjugation
Ol rance, ana tne German forces struck
directly at France through Belgium,
across the Western Front and wherever
else ii was possible TO strike.
This time, too, Hitler would like to
subdue France. This time. too. he would
like to defeat the Allied armies en- masse
But he's going about it differently
The Nazi army no longer attempts to
dominate nation step by step. conSoli-
dating positions as it goes forward, be-
ing sure it has conquered all the country
at its back
Now it sweeps in, skirts the strong
holds, subdues the surrounding country,
cuts off communication lines, and goes
ahead to new territory. To the support
ing troops is left the job of cleaning up
the strongholds.
Now the German army evidently is
operating on the theory that France can
be left, as these strongholds are, for later
mopping up operations. Hitler wants TO
strike at England, directly and force
fully. His theory seems to be that. once
gland is conquered, France will sue
cumb naturally to German arms and in
fluence.
And, most likely, he is right France,
without England, would not be danger
Gus to Germany 1t could be Cleaned
up" at the pleasure Of the Nazis
Because it is new, Hitlcr's method Of
warfare has not yet developed from the
enemy defense that can successfully
halt the advance of his armies. Unless
such defense is developed soon, it may
be too late-for the Allies.

necessity of getting rid of taxes
which restrict business and even
favor taxes which stimulate busi-

WASHINGTON - Defense COM
mission experts estimated today
that less than half Of the So
0oo. o0o. 900 plus appropriated BY
congress for ornaments would be
spent during the present fiscal

Marked acceleration Of defense
spending Is expected after Jan. 1,

the defense appropriations for this

The United Press was informed

Nothing in Building
Code to Bar Plant

Corporation Counsel Carothers
advised the city council Monday
there Is nothing In city law at
present to justify refusal of q
permit to the Gamble Manufactur-
ing Co. to rebuild its tideflats
plant for production of wood flour.
The opinion was based on a
petition from other plants near
the Gamble plant asking the coun-
ell to refuse a rebuild permit to
Gamble.
Carothers said that regulations
governing the industrial district
do not bar such establishments as
the Gamble company. and that
the fire chief had advised him
there was no special hazard IN
such an industry II it is housed
in a proper building.
The Gamble plant recently was
hit by a serious fire following an
explosion of the wood flour.
