.. “I don't belieye. ill that approach.
I approach all people as Americans.”
His most important sp^h of the
day was made on the state house
steps.
“One of the real problems of
America, and it bears particularly
on the coming defense program,"
he said, “is to bring about decen
tralization of industry so that there
may be brought back into these
small towns of America, industrial
plants to the end that m^ium sized
businesses may be encouraged to
survive, thrive and prosper.
“For instance, in the defense pro
gram and in the industrial develop
ment that must come in connection
with that, those who lead the af-
faic^ of government must see that
many of the plants that will be built
wiU be located in towns like the
towns scattered all over the state of
Iowa.
“Let me tell you the only type of
individual that can bring that about
is one who understands productiv
ity and the processes of American
industry and has the confidence of
American industry. Such a man,
working in cooperation with indus
trial America, will bring back to the
state like Iowa, their just proportion
of American industrialization.
“May I say, having lived most of
my life in just the way you live in
Des Moines and in the' towns of
Iowa, if jrou elect me president of
the United States, you will have
someone who understands your daily
problems.

Gomans Claim
Ifigh Success
For Blockade
Berlin, Aug. 6. — Thd German
counter-blockade, designed to turn
fatally upcm Britain 'her greatest
historic weapon, wgs claimed today
to be smashing British shipping at a
far higher rate than in the unre
stricted submarine campaigh of the
first World war.
The Nazi hi^i command asserted a
total of 4,986,^ tons of Brithdi mer
chant vessel^ and those Usable by
Britain, had been knocked out in 11
months of warfare—3,725,547 by the
German navy and 1,^1,313 by the
air force.
Thus was claimed for Germany a
monthly score of about 453^90 tons
—against an avera^ British loss of
205,000 tons during the 21 months
when submarines were on fierce
PWOL a generation ago.
The high command communique
asserted also that in the last three
weeks of July the Germans had sent
to the bottom 657,674 tons of “ene
my merchant shipping space and
space usable by the enemy.”
All this, it was said, was aside
from 21,650 tons of warships and
merchant ships sunk by mines.
(The British admiralty has stated
that in the period July 3 through
July 29 the combined losses of. all
British, Allied and neutral merchant
ships were but 174,580 tons.)

Athens, Ga., August 5.—American
farmers were urged by an agricul

their farming methods, individually

Director Walter S. Brown of the

“their efficiency in the production

“The more rapidly the people of
