Have Been Ignored Until It Hurts.

3 LONDON, Sept. 17 (U. P.).—Germany’s ruthless disregard for civil-|’ ian needs in favor of production for her armed forces threatens to cause serious internal repercussions this winter, although nothing yet indicates a collapse of civilian morale,

authoritative British economic experts said today. Experts studying intelligence reports and other information from Germany believed Hitler's shortsighted economic policy, which had concentrated: virtually every available factory and laborer on war production to the complete exclusion of consumer goods in hopes of a short war, might well boomerang agains German officials when the wehrmacht is forced to spend another winter deep in Russia. They predicted fierce suffering for civilians on the German home front, increasing as the R. A. F. raids strengthened by American forces grow in weight, pounding industrial |- cities where civilian homes and stocks of civilian goods are bound to be destroyed.

Textile Production Low

Three-fold hardships — shortages| of food and clothing and the winter| | cold—can increase civilian sufferings to the point where Hitler will be ' obliged to restore production l| for civilian needs at the expense of the armed forces, they pointed l| out. These experts said German textile production, for example, is now concentrated in seven factories all working exclusively on army needs, two of which already have been bombed successfully. Although there is thus no textile production for civilian needs and available supplies are bound to be destroyed in air raids, Germany reportedly has launched its fourth | collection of warm clothing for soldiers at the front, for the second time seizing furs and other heavy animal skins to shield the soldiers who must stand guard, even in 15minute stretches, in Russia's icy winter nights.

Predict Strain on 0Qil Stocks

I don’t believe there will be many women if any with a fur coat in Germany this winter,” one authority said. :

The death penalty for anyone committing sabotage in a clothing factory indicated the terrible urgency German officials attached to this phase of war production. The British economic experts also predicted a severe strain on Ger‘many’s oil stacks this winter, probably affecting industrial output. They pointed out that Germany had been credited with sufficient oil reserves to meet both army and industrial needs for two winters—| civiliar. oil needs are virtually ig8 nored since the start of the war— but that.this winter the Germans were expected to have only enough

oil for military requirements. The captured Russian oil fields in the northern Caucasus-and elsewhere in occupied Russia were not expected to yield any supplies to the Germans for at least six to eight months, due to the thoroughness of the Russian “scorched earth” technique. It was believed that an even longer period would be required to get the captured fields into full production, and even then the problem of transporting fuel back to Germany would still confront the Germans.
