REVEALING TOUR

A LABOUR EXCHANGE in the East End of London was recently completely destroyed by a bomb. The staff put claimants for un- employed benefit on their honour and paid what they asked for promptly for three days at the end of that time the books had been re- covered from beneath the debris and work was proceeding normally.

This is only one of many similar incidents mentioned in the course of a series of authen-| tic accounts which became coincidentally available yesterday on the real effects of the LEARN DANCING IN 6 HOURS blitzkrieg on Britain's industrial life.

One manufacturer of building materials said so far enemy ac- tion had not provided him with enough work for 12 months.

Brewery Hit

A brewer whose brewery was hit by six bombs said his export trade to India, South Africa, the Far East and elsewhere. had been little affected,

merchant

A textile export stated although he had been bombed out. he was still able to execute 99 per cent. of his orders.

The effect of the darnage was much minimised by cooperation among manufacturers. Several manufacturers affirmed that while Hitler was dallying for a year they were able to spread their risks, have their machinery dupli- cated and circumvent destruction in other ways.

The managing director of a certain Thamesside works which were bombed eight times in three weeks told Reuter that two days after the last raid his output was back to 70 per cent. and was increasing daily.

Production Transferred

Another works reported that within 30 hours of almost total destruction, production for export orders was transferred under a pre-arranged plan to a factory. elsewhere and orders would suf- fer no delay.
