PACKARD PRESIDENT
APPEALS TO AUT0ISTS
Alvan Macanley Urges Them
to "Step Up and Speed

a vivid picture Of the tremendous
task laid upon the industry OF America
is given hy AlNan MaCaulcy, president
Of the Packard Motor car company.
i'm what he terms IAN appeal to all
Packard men and women Mr.. Ma
cauley urges that an increase of at
least 80 per cent in the personal eff
cheney of every producer is impora-
tive, owing to the withdrawal of two
or three million young men from the
production line of America. His mes
sage is regarded as a pronOuncement
OF both company and public policy,
comparable with Mr.. Macauley's 5
proclamation of America First is
sued two years ago.
The new appeal is headed step Up
and Speed Up to Win the War" and
is as follows:
This war is n call to come out and
fight for our national life. 1t demands
all the capacity of ever one OF us
plus so per cent increase IN personal
working efficiency.
Two million of men, it is said. al
ready have gone out of American in
dustrN-the strong, active young men
of the country. Another million stand
on the threshold of the training camps.
And there may be more millions
called to follow, These millions are
withdrawn from the production line or
America.
And with that the situation in in
dustry, we are confronted with a pro-
duction order that is not only the
heaviest ever written but also Ia
marked rush.
The total wealth pro mced in this
country this year is estimated at S5o,-
