 REGINA. Sask. Nov lS.-Figures published by the provincial govern ment show that the number of auto, mobiles owned in Saskatchewan in 1920 was GO.325, as compared with j5.OlO in 1919 and 46,SSO in 1918. This is a remarkable showing when it is considered that in 1908 the total mum Der of motor vehicles of all descrip- tions in the province was only seven ty-four.
 This rapid increase in the number of automobiles is attributed to the rapid settlement of the province and the prosperity achieved by the settlers in farm homes. In this country, where farms are often paid for by a single crop. more than half the automobiles are owned by farmers.

The Subsidized Press
Boosted These Camps
(By Federated Press)

New York-The war department
has furnished to the National Security
League a supply of franked envelopes
in which the League has been sending
broadcast propaganda letters urging
universal military training.
The admission was made by Edwin
l.. Harvey, executive secretary Of the
League, who declared "what we have
been doing has been at the request of
the War Department, and we have
been glad to do it."
Harvey said that Gen. VIM. Weigel,
then chief of staff of the second army
corps area, with headquarters on Gov
ernor's Island, about six weeks ago
asked the League to help get enroll
ments for citizens military training
camps.
"The War Department" he con-
tinued, through Governors Island
and with the approval of Maj. Gen.
Bullard, sent US a supply Of franked
envelopes, and we sent letters to our
100000 members and to 1000 members
of the Merchants Association in New
York City urging their support in the
training camp recruiting campaign"
Harvey further admitted that
pamphlets and letters containing
propaganda for universal military
training, some of them written by
Chas. D. Orth, president of the
League, had been sent out in the
franked envelopes. He declared,
however, that all the material thus
sent out had been with the knowledge
and approval of the War Department.

Steel Interests Blamed
For Business Slump
(By Federated Press)

New York-A terrific Indictment Of
the steel interests and warning that
the steel, railroad and industrial sit
uations are becoming a menace to the
analysis Of the annual reports of the
United States Steel Corporation, just
completed by John R. Dunlay, editor
of industrial Management"
Mr.. Dunlap charges that as a result
of five years Of war prices, steel man
ufacturers have accumulated riches
far greater than ever before, and yet,
because steel consumers have been
forced to rebel against continued war
prices, that the steel mills have closed
down furnaces and rolling mills and
thrown tens of thousands of work
men out of work. The result has
been greatly to aggravate the busi-
ness depression, the analysis declares.
'The tie up in the steel industry"
Mr.. Dunlap writes, "is now rapidly
spreading such apprehension and
direct injury to every other branch
of industry, including the railroads,
that the situation unquestionably calls
for the immediate and watchful con-
sideration of every leader of public
opinion and every member of con-
gress as we'll as our most influential
bankers and railroad executives"
This analysis reveals the surprising
fact that throughout a period of IA
years under pre-war conditions the
Steel Corporation was able to main
tain scale of prices high enough to
yield them net earnings of no less
than 1876 per cent of the total labor
cost of their entire product, including
all officials salaries.
