Chicago—The industrial leadership o f the big city in America is already challenged by Main Street, and the small town is now well on the road to economic leadership o f the.nation, ac­ cording to a study o f the latest Amer­ ican hUsinesS. methods and policies is- ■ 'M i e wfest 'Crtiir- ties Company, The drift o f people to the' big cities continues, but this no longer concen­ trates wealth as formerly and the productive capacity o f city popula­ tions is not increasing in equal meas­ ure with that of the inhabitants of smaller towns, it is declared. The study is published under the title “ / merica’s New Frontier,” the small towns and countryside being hailed as the scene o f the next stage of industrial progress. v■ . Small TownB Gaining The decentralization o f wealth and industry revealed in the hook is evi­ denced in the 4,000 small communities served with electric power by the cor­ poration. In addition to its own ex­ perience the corporation presents u study o f government figures and the economic conclusions'’o f leading social scientists. The report on recent economic changes by the committee which was headed by President Hoover is cited to show that the only present gain in number o f industrial wage earners is taking place in towns of less than 10;000 population, The historic concentration o f indus­ try in the large cities grew out of the character of power supply throughout the greater part o f American Indus trial development together with the inflexible nature o f tranportation facilities, the study points out. The past decade, however, has witnessed the rapid growth o f distributable electric power which has been.made available .n ample quantities at vir­ tually every point on the map, and has also seen the tremendous increase in the use o f the automobile and the introduction o f more flexible freight railway service. The book issued asserts that simul taneously with these technical im provements which have made it possible to decentralize the factory system, there has appeared in the economic life o f the (..eat cities law of diminishing returns. The increasing difficulties and cost Of metropolitan life have reacted up­ on industry, the book states, so that industrial lenders have been aroused to the advantages o f diffusion, Charles Kettering, o f General Motors Research Corporation, Carl Alsberg bakery expert, E. j . Kulas, steel man ufneturer, and other key men ot Am erican industry arc quoted in the book as advocating decentalization and greater simplicity Of industrial plant. It is declared in the study that city growth after a certain point o f satur ation creates more handicaps than fa ­ cilities for productive industries. Her capita tax rates are shown to increase more rapidly as the cities gain great Mrs, Bessie Sabo And little son, hers have signed.

Levi Jeffrey, for a few days. socially profitable uses to mere■ efforts to. overcome the handicaps o f con­ gestion—such as costly rapid transit, the erection o f buildings o f great height, and the immense outlays re­ quired for the’ maintenance and oper­ ation of such structures. The problem o f urban water supply is briefly dis­ cussed in the book, with the observa­ tion that water resources determine the ultimate limit o f city growth. The contention o f the book -is—that -the pr.esent layout o f cities is not abreast of the achievements of science and . engineering. Measurement Called Obsolete The study rules out population as a measurement of communities either from the standpoint of productive capacity, purchasing power or living standards. The population measure­ ment was rendered absolete with the substitution of mechanical power for man power, it is declared. The smallest community now has access to as great a supply of power as the large community and since it requites relatively little for uses de­ voted to “ keeping people out o f each other’s way,” its productive capacity per unit of power is vastly greater than that of the large city., With the motor truck and highway furnishing equal access to markets industry’s in­ terest in the small town is increasing. In a histori.al summary o f the growth of American business, the book shows how the population and industries which followed the first frontier westward tended to cluster in growing cities. “ This,” it declares, “ left between the cities great gaps o f scantily developed country dotted by thousands o f small communities. These towns were supported by trade rather than indust: / because the na­ ture of the power supply and trans­ portation tended to confine factories to the more congested cities. A wider distribution of power over the countryside and the more flexible transportation offered by the motor truck and highway have released in­ dustry from confinement and equip­ ped the small town to accommodate the industries which seek release from high costs of city life. “ As a result," the study continues, “ the smaller communities of America have in recent years made vast strides in all the things that indicate richer lives. In better schools, in new highways, in the nearly universal family ownership o f the automobile, the most remarkable gains have oc­ curred outside the great metropolitan centers, In many cases states with a preponderant rural population are at the head o f the procession. “ This is a new thing in our history, Americans have long been used to such progress in metropolitan centers and in newly opened lands. But the renaissance o f the ‘open spaces' is now as characteristic o f the older set­ tled Atlantic seaboard as o f* the youngest commonwealths o f the Union." The decentralizing at work in America today, the book concludes, are “ reversing the currents which have characterized business enter- or size. In the larger cities labor and elec* trie power a to both diverted in in-1 prise since the industrial revolution creasing measure from productive and ! of the eighteenth century England," \
