Mason Says Great
britain's S 0ffense
Now Vital Factor
By ]. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Alt h ough emotional interest
throughout the world is concen-
trated on Germany's air lombard
ment of Britain, military interest
is divided between the raids over
Britain and the British counter
attacks over Germany and German
occupied areas, and Italy. ANY
analysis of the effect of the pre-
sent air conflict must take into
consideration British offensive DOW
er as we'll as German. Both sides
are blitzkrieging.
The German attacks are predom-
inantly daylight raids. Night fight
ing in the air has not been attract
i've to the Germans since the start
of the war. One principal reason is
the British balloon defense which
cannot be widely distinguished in
the dark and is a potent danger to
aircraft flying blind. 1t is noticeable
that when the Germans attack at
night they usually avoid the coast
and move inland where the balloons
are not so numerous.
AS the British invented the tank.
the only new weapon evolved in
the last war, so they have created
the balloon defense, the only novel
instrument of the present conflict.
The Germans did not realize the
possibilities of the tank until late
in the World War, just as they
now are behind in balloon defense.
British counter-attacks are thus
able to operate more advantageous
ly at night than are the Germans,
while at the same time the British
have developed a specialized ability
in the technique of blind flying
British pilots all must undergo an
intensive course in the Link train
er," another British invention
which reproduces an airplane fix
ed in room.
The pilot has a hood over his
head while the stationary machine
is so manipulated as to give every
effect OF real flying. The least de-
Walton from the pilots course is
traced on chart. This training is
primarily responsible for the sue
cesses the British aviators have
been gaining in their night assaults.

Aluminium Plant in
Germany Attacked;
Swiss See Planes

BASLE, SWITZERLAND, Aug. 10
UP)-British airplanes early today
bombed an aluminium works across
the border in Germany from
Rheinfelden, Switzerland.
The bombing took place shortly
after midnight and German anti
aircraft guns fired at the raiders
until the alarm ended at LAS a. m.
One shed of the large aluminium
works was destroyed and another
was burned following the explosion
of a delayed-actoin bomb, it was
reported.
Several fires broke out but were
quickly extinguished by fire bri-

Italian Airdron1e
Target Of British
Bombing Planes

CAIRO, EGYPT, Aug. 10 UP)-
The Royal Air Forces middle east
command said today that British
raiding planes had bombed the
Italian Military airdrome at Adds
Ababa, scoring direct hits on four
hangers and starting gasoline
fire. All Bristish planes returned
safely, the communique said.
1t was the first British raid thus
far on the Adds Ababa airdrome,
although the RAF has repeatedly
bombed Direrawa, Jijiga and other
Ethiopian airbases and supply de-
pots.
The attack on Adds Ababa was
carried out by Blenheim bombers
which ran into severe anti aircraft
fire after roaring over 400 miles
across mountainous country.
The British planes returned to
their base without loss.
They met no further opposition
and it was believed the raid caught
the Italians by surprise.

New Industries
Cant t Make a Future
For Capitalism
By SCOTT NEARING

| Friends and beneficiaries of capital
ism are still convinced that the sys
tenn has future. "If only some new
industry would come along" they ar
que, things would certainly pick uI
again-something like radio, air-con
ditioning or the automobile industry .
The motor industry is considered
the trump card Radio and air-con-
ditioning have been on a mass pro-
duction basis for years, yet sales have
never bulked large enough to make
these enterprises a major economic
factor
The motor industry. is a different
matter. In the first seven months of
1910, 2,524,841 new cars and trucks
were sold in the U. S. Another 272,-
764 were shipped abroad. If the aver
age selling price was $500, the total
for the seven months was around S2,-
000,000,O0O. Add expenditures for gas,
oil, spare parts and repairs, and the
motor industry appears as a primary
factor in American economy.
But the motor industry has not been
a constant expansive force in Amer
lean economy. Far from it. New in
dustry that it was in 1905, the sweep
of its upsurge lasted for less than
rs years. Then it slumped more help
lessly than some of the older indus
tries

truck production in the U. S. and

feel that I should sever my connec.
tion with the board"
Hawes, who was in charge of the
boards field work, declared, "My serv
ice with it for over three years under
the fearless and able Craftsmanship OF
Mr.. Madden has been happy ex
perience.
81 do not wish to remain with the
board, however, now that he has been
denied reappointment."
Mills, who succeeds Madden on the
board, was formerly member Of the
old national labor relations board
which was set up under the NRA.
Prior to that he served in many In
dustries as an arbitrator.
Born in Indiana in 1873, Mills, after
getting his doctors degree in econom-
les at the University of Chicago,
taught economics at the University Of
Arkansas, Leland Stanford, the Uni
yersity of Kansas and the University
of Chicago, becoming head Of the de-
partment of economics there In 1928.
In 1908 he was an investigator for
the U. S. immigration committee, in
1915 he wrote book on the Japanese
problem in the U. S., In 1917 he was
secretary of the Illinois state health
insurance commission, in 1918 he was
chairman of the trade board and
chairman of the board of arbitrators
in the mems clothing industry in Chi
cago. Recently he was appointed ar
bitrator in the automobile industry.
Mills approach to the labor board,
it was believed, will be the same as
that of Leiserson who regards the
board as a mediation agency rather
than an agency to enforce the labor
relations act.
The emphasis, 1t was expected, will
be on the settlement of disputes
rather than the enforcement Of the
act although it is not believed that
enforcement will be dropped.
His appointment here was regarded
as rebuke to Madden, despite the
increase in salary to $12,500 year
that will go to Madden in his new
position, and a victory for Leiserson's
viewpoint.
In letter to Madden, made public
with his resignation, Witt noted that
under Madden the constitutional basis
of the act was solidly laid, the ap-
plication of the act sustained in its
broadest terms, union organization
and collective bargaining extended,
industrial disputes lessened, and the
boards work put on current basis.
"You and Edwin s. Smith hold a
unique and honored position in the
estimation of liberals, impartial stu
dents, and millions Of American work
men," Witt said. "It has been great
privilege to follow the inspiring stand
ards Of courage, devotion and intelli-
gence set by you and Edwin Smith.
Loyalty to superiors is common
enough but such brave loyalty to sub
ordinates as you have shown is rare
indeed"

ment; that in exchange for letters
commencing the books, Introductory
encyclopedia sets are to be placed
with a select few in different com
munities for advertising purposes;
that prospects contacted have been Sc
lected to receive a set of encyclo-
pedias; that in order to get the books
free, it is necessary for the customer
to buy the yearly supplements or the
annual revisions for 10-year period !;
that the price of the supplements or
revisions is far less than the price at
which they will be sold later after the
close of the advertising campaign, and
that the price charged is to cover
only the actual cost of the revision
work to the respondents.
The complaint alleges that among
other representations made in the
sale of the respondents publications
are: that through a combination pur-
chase the customer will receive $184
worth of merchandise for $50; that
it is necessary for the respondents to
move their merchandise from ware
house located in one state to ware
house located in another state, and
that in order to save the expense of
moving, the merchandise is offered at
greatly reduced price; that books
offered are reclaimed books and are
consequently being given at a lower
price, and that special offers of re-
duced prices are being made to en-
ployees whose employers have placed
advertisements with the respondents.
The complaint alleges that in fact
none of the respondents publications
is ever given as the result of draw
ing, or free, and as a gift or gratu-
ity; that the purchase price of the
so-cailed free goods is, in every in
stance, included in the price of the
c her merchandise sold to the GUS
fner; that in no case do the re-
s pondents sell at actual cost; that the
sum of $50, represented as a reduced
price, is the regular price; and that
other claims as made by the respond
ents are also deceptive and mislead-
ing.

! This picture of the auto industry
looks very much like the others. Ex-
pansion up to certain date, the peak
in 1925-1930, and then the slump In
the auto industry 70% of the produc-
tion vanished in three years. For all
industrial production in the U. S. the
drop was around 509o.
The motor industry contributed to
the upturn after 1914 1t also contrib
uted to the breakdown after 1929.
Any other new industry will do the
same thing.
One difference, however, should be
noted When the motor industry be-
gan to climb 35 years ago, idle capital
was scarce and mass production tech
niques were in their infancy. Today
idle capital is abundant and mass pro-
duction techniques are well developed
A new industry today would shoot
forward in perhaps half the time re-
quired for the motor industry; then,
caught in the next economic recession,
it would slump worse than the better
established industries.
Defenders of capitalism must look
beyond new industries for succor. Ex-
perience shows that the booming new
industry of Monday may be a coffin
nail by the end of the week.

Espionage Revealed
In Probe of Utilities
Propaganda Funds

SPOKANE, Wash. - (FP) - How
Washington's utilities hired labor
spies was brought out during an in.
vestigation by the Federal Power
Commission to determine the source
of funds behind the utilities-indorsed
Initiative 1879, which was defeated at
the recent elections. The measure
was designed to block public opera
tion of power facilities.
When w. H. Ude, an official of the
Washington Water Power Co., admit
ted that $469 spent for the phony tele-
gram campaign against the utility
death clause in 1885 had been put on
an expense account rather than
charged to the company, he was asked
whether other such expenses were dis
guised in this manner.
Ude replied that in another instance
1t was necessary to hire operatives
to investigate employees"
"You mean you hired operatives to
stalk employes?" asked Lambert Nc
Allister. FPC attorney.
ut has been done, yes" replied Ude.
''Do you frequently have occasion
to handle funds in that way?" Nc
Allister asked.
at all depends on what comes up"
Ude said.
The utilities were again linked up
with anti-union activities when Fred
A. Adams, regional chairman of the
Let the People Vote League, utili-
organization, admitted
hat he campaigned for passage of an
inti-labor initiative which was defeat
I'd in 1888. This initiative was spon-
,ored by the Associated Farmers and |
he Women of Washington Inc.
Other highlights of the testimony
IN how the utilities obtained funds
or Initiative 139 in the present cleo
ion were:
1. That the Let the People Vote
league was given $3,621 by the Wash
ngton Taxpayers Assn. to work for
'assage of the measure.
2. That utility employees had been
from Idaho to work for pas
age of the initiative.
3. That, according to the admission
t Kinsey Robinson, company presi-
ent, his firm spent $4,000 on the
leasure.
The Washington New Dealer, labor
aper, carried the story of the hear
ngs under the heading, Censored by

earrings was "either completely cen
ored or distorted by the daily press

WAVE Of FUTURE
STRIbUTED
BY FASCIST


The Hour is informed that the gen
tleman-fascist John B. Snow is a
present distributing Anne Moro,
Lindbergh's book, "The Wave of tn
Future" which was published las
month. Mr.. Snow is director of tn
League for Constitutional Govern
ment, IS East 4Sth Street, New Yorl
City The principal business of tn,
League is marketing literature note
worthy for anti-democratic, anti-labol
tendencies.
"The Wave of the Future" which
has the apt subtitle. "a Confession
of Faith" presents picture of the
invincibility of fascism. In terms less
obvious perhaps but no less signifi
cant than those her husband employs,
Mrs. Lindbergh tells why the future
belongs to the dictators. In the pres
ent war, she finds one of the indica-
tors of their ultimate triumph. She
writes:
II cannot see this war, then, simply
and purely as a struggle between the
Forces of Good and the Forces of
Evil If l could simplify it into a
phrase at all, it would seem truer to
say that the Forces of the Past are
fighting against the Forces of the
Future"
Those participants in the war that
Mrs Lindbergh sees as "Forces of the
Future" are Germany and Italy. We
may not like everything about them,
she grants, but there is no gainsay-
ing that fundamentally they represent
the real progress and vitality in the
world today.
How America Can Go Forward
Mrs. Lindbergh is careful to make
clear that we should not be despond-
ent because the United States lacks
this vigorous and progressive spirit
1t is true, she says, that our demo-
cratic achievements seem to put us
in the camp of the Forces of the
Past" But, she points out, this stu
alton can be remedied if we are will
ing to take sufficiently stern meas
lres:
"The task before us may mean sac
rifice of selfish interests; it may
mean giving up part of the ease of
living and the high material standards
we are noted for"
In other words, in order to progress
we must first go backwards. This |
offers a great, if not |
absolutely certain, reward - as Mrs.
Iindbergh relates:
:" =. it might also mean a height
ening of the more important standards
hat are not material 1t might mean
/ gain in spirit, in vigor, and in self
for which no price could be
90 high"
The nazis have long advocated the
tightening of belts in order to secure
spiritual gains. Usually they put
he idea little more crudely, as does
5oering when he expounds the theory
hat guns are preferable to butter.
But John B. Snow, and other Amer
can fascists, are apparently satisfied
With Mrs. Lindbergh's rendering.
Significantly enough, as some re-
levers have already pointed out, Mrs
makes no mention of the
yord freedom throughout her book.
