ber of smaller workshops. Each smith, each small Joiner worked for the War Ministry. In each city and village street, there were several of these small war industries. The dif- ferent parts of a plane, of a cannon or a rifle were produced in thousands of tiny workshops. The problem was transformed into one of organisation.
This emergency solution-it is not ideal for it reduces the total volume of production-was successful. The destruction of the war industry be- came impossible, for the enemy fleet would have had to completely destroy all towns and villages in order to paralyse production. For espionage also, this system presented extraordin- ary difficulties, for it is impossible for an uninitiated person to survey it. VICTORY AND VICTORY... The Franco-British policy of prochement with the United and Russia, apart from political con- siderations, is fully justified from a military standpoint. The war indus- tries of these two countries are out of the reach of an enemy air fleet.

an industry outside the range of enemy air fleet. Will they succeed in thus competing with the geographical and political advantages of the demo- cracies?
The experience of thirty months of modern war in Spain have in any case caused considerable and unexpected disappointments to the General Staffs of Berlin and Rome. These Govern- ments are now seeking compensation in a series of bloodless conquests and victories. Notwithstanding the nu- merical inferiority of the enemy in the air, the Spanish war has shown that the modern air weapon is not decisive, that neither the destruction. of the enemy war industry nor the collapse of the enemy rear under the air terror can be achieved without difficulty. The conceptions of "total war" "or of a lightning campaign thus seem unlike- ly to materialise. This is why Ger- many and Italy are attempting to lay their hands on such raw material as may enable them to resist in a long
war.
