probably will be called upon to fall in
line behind the government in curtail-
ing the production Of everything not

nations fighting efficiency in conserv-
ing coal and raw materials and in re-

system.
Substantial Decrease in Production
Curtailment of production Of motor
vehicles was said to have been taken
up first because Of the manufacturers
voluntary offer Of cooperation, be-
cause Of the highly organized nature
Of the industry and because the prob
lem Of obtaining raw materials also
used in the manufacture of munitions
had become serious for the automobile

production probably will he. very sub
stantial' to be effected gradually as
portions Of the plants are diverted TO

Everything will depend on the gov

taken until it's effect has been weigh

1t is for the good of the country as a
whole.
Figures quoted show the value of
