GENERAL MOTORS TO
SPEED EFFICIENCY
Plans to Concentrate the Man.
ufacture of Export Models,
Now Well Under Way.

An important change in the manu-
featuring policy of the General Mo
tors Corporation with reference to
export business is announced in a
statement by 4. p. Sloan, Jr., operat-
ing vice-president, as follows:
Because there is more or less diff
ference between the necessities of
car manufacture from the export
standpoint as compared with the do
rlestic standpoint. it has been de-
c.ded 20 concentrate the manufacture
o. all export models. with the excep-
tion OF the Cadillac and General
Motors truck. at the Canadian plant
of the orporation-General Motors,
Ltd. and located at Oshawa, Ontario.
Concentration of such production at
hat point will place one executive in
charge of all export production with
a better realization of the neces-
sites of the export needs and result
irg, unquestionably, in a line of cars
more reliable and more thoroughly
tested and better fitted for the export
trade. 1t also gives greater fiexi-
aility 10 the manufacture of such cars,
both from the standpoint of manu-
t@CAuTl1s program ana cnanSe OF de-
tan necessary to meet the expert
ceeds. This change in program will
b. put into effect at the earliest pos
sible moment.
In order to make still more ef-
ective the operations of, the General
Motors Export Co, il has been de-
'ided 10 remove the Export Selling
Organization, as an organization, from
New York to Oshawa, where it viii
~ adjacent TO factory operations, al
hough IL is recognized in carrying olt
-hss program that there viii be some
functions OF the export work which ii
nay not be possible to locate in
Oshawa.
The following change in personnel
rill take place, going into effect today:
Paul Fitzpatrick. now vice-presi-
lent in charge of operations, will be

BAD WORKMANSHIP
DIR. vrooman Says Ideal Of Christianity
IL that Everything be Well Done.

The lack Of conscientious devotion 10
duty was decrcd by Rev. w A Vrco-
man Of the Unitarian Church, yesterday,
Ia sermon in which he remarked that
the world Il full Of buoglers, carpenters
who cannot make a Joint, housekeepers
who cannot cook, stenographers who
cannot spell, merchants who lie, prcacf-
ers who do not study 70 learn the truth
and church seekers who are sorry
Christians.
"There is bad workmanship every
where, he continued, even m their
character building men let all kinds oi
rubbish and rotten matcrid into Their
minds. Religion should provide. the
motive for better workmanship and for
inspiration. Religion makes conscience
the foreman and perfect work the pat
tern. The ideal Of Christianity - that
everything be well done TO the honor
and glory OF God.
