 A Feeling of Insecurity
 Considering the memories tf 1919 that I have just conjured up, it must be admitted that the reproach is at least somewhat unexpected.

made. One curious point: Those who preached this doctrine had not dis covered it's virtues on the morrow of tbe armistice. At that time, on the contrary, they refused to adopt 1t.
 At the close of 1918 there was eco- homie solidarity. It had been slowly, painfully created in the process of winning the war. The necessity for a common effort had been understood. Raw materials, cereals, ships. even money--all were pooled. Interallied committees concerned with food stuffs, munitions and shipping as- sured the proper functioning of this gigantic pool. But as soon as the war had been won the Anglo Saxon countries insisted on the immediate suppression of this mechanism. The interallied committees disappeared one after the other. Soon, only to give one eample, the wealth, the change of the continental countries collapsed.
 Decries Keynes Theory
 The United States and Great Britain, however, held on their course, convinced that the return of com mercial liberty could alone furnish an outlet for the intensive production that the war had developed in their respective countries. That was purely economic ana matefiallStlc viewpoint exactly parallel. in its origin, to the system of MT. Keynes and his friends. Events have proved this solution to be erroneous. The European client. the continental con- sumer, left to himself. has not been able to keep pace with Anglo-Saxon production. The exchange crisis has diminished by more than half the purchasing power of the continental nations. English coal and American corn have equally suffered Here and there strikes and crises of stocks have been the direct reaction to the financial chaos of the continent. Economic materialism, which de- mands the revision of the treaties holding them to be responsible for all the chaos, was born of the panic created across the seas by this un- foreseen development in affairs.
 London and New York considered only the narrow viewpoint of a ma terialistic economy. They made a mistake and the system of excessive competition injured just those wiio had counNed on gaining from it. The economic upheaval existed. It could not but exist after the earthquake of the war. But it was augmented, and to what degree. by the egotistical

DANGER IF FAMINE IN I UEL PAST; GAINS MADE IN OUTPUT
Steel Industry Continues to Hold Up Remarkably Well. November SIackening
 Seen in Industry
By Associated Press

New York, November 26.-Signs have not been wanting during the past week that the usual November slackening in industrial activity is under way. Railway car loadings for the week ended November II showed a further falling off in traffic. al though the total number of cars loadedz954 000--is still very large and exceeds the movement in the cor responding weeks of 1921 and 1920.
 Election day and Armistice Day may have played part in slowing down the movement, but there are other developments such as 8 slight falling off in the demand for cars, which suggests the normal tendency.
 One result of the better car situa- ton has been further gains in soft coal production, which now is we'll established at a rate appreciably above 11,000.000 tons a week. Fur ther progress has been made in re- constituting stocks of fuel. and coal operators have made reports of no demand from most of the states west of the Mississippi. Barring spells of extremely severe weather, it Is con sidered that the danger of a fuel famine is past.
 Steel Production Good
 Steel production continues to hold up remarkably well. The country's mills are working at rate not far short of 80 per cent of capacity, and the trade reports that sufficient or ders are booked to insure the main tenance of approximately this scale of activity into the first quarter of the new year.
 Pig iron prices, along with those of coal, are still tending lower, but this is merely a natural sequel to the abnormal scarcity situation produced by the strikes. Prices of finished steel show little change. This is due largely to the fact that buyers have supplied their immediate needs and now show a disposition to watch de- velopments in the industry. Their feeling apparently is that prices may go lower. Demand naturally is light in the meantime.
 In cotton government report of November 14 places the total to that date at S,S70,000 bales, which was generally interpreted by the trade as indicating that the crop will turn out to be in the neighborhood of 10,- 000.000 bales. Probably as result of this conclusion, the market was forced to absorb a large volume of liquidation which originated in spec ulative quarters and the principal fr- lures fell below 25 cents. Before the week closed. however, trade buying again appeared and prices rallied materially.
 Wheat Gives Way
 Wheat. after early firmness gave way moderately, partly in response to apprehensions lest an easing in the car situation will have an unfa- vorable effect on prices. It Is realized that inability to move grain has been delaying marketing. and that more cars are likely to mean more grain at the central markets, with corre- spending declinesfin prices.
 Foreign buying, meanwhile. con tinues light and It's future, in view of the fluctuations In the foreign exchanges. uncertain. Nevertheless, present prices are still about those of the early fall. and corn at around 70 cents bushel Is approximately 50 per cent above the price of a year ago.

Tire Very Much
Like We Humans

In construction and reaction to
wear, a good automobile tire is much
like the human body, according to
Bill Smith, manager Of the Miller
Rubber branch here.
"The breaker strip which .runs
around the tire beneath the tread is
the backbone" says Bill. "The plies
of fabric are the ribs, and the rub
Der between them the muscles, bind
ing the ribs together. The whole
fabric carcass gives strength and
shape. The side wall protects the
carcass from weather and wear, as
does the skin Of the body. Friction
gum makes the tire self-lubricating.
The tread is the foot Of the tire
which receives directly. the shocks of
the road to pass them on to the other
parts of the tire body.
Like the human body Miller tite
men say, a tire may look sound and
well on the outside, but be near the
breaking point within.
when the motorist keeps in mind
this construction, he will understand
the kind of treatment which ruins his
tires. Underinflation causes bend

GENERAL MOTORS
To ADOPT BONUS
PLAN THIS YEAR

DETROIT, Jan. 21.-(Special)-
Pierre S. DUPONT, president of Cen
eral Motors corporation, has issued
the following statement regarding the
corporations bonus plan:
In order to reduce the labor turn
over and to induce employees of ex-
ceptional merit to remain with the
corporation for a period OF years. a
bonus plan was adopted in 1918. The
corporation each proposed to deduct
a certain percentage from its net
earnings and this amount of money
was to be placed in q bonus fund to
be invested in stocks of the corpora
ton. At the end of each year en-
ployes of merit were to be awarded
stock of the corporation out of this

ing, flexing and chatting to which the
strongest carcass will give way in
time. Stone bruises and cuts on the
tread or side wall expose the more
delicate carcass to rotting by oil, dirt
and water.
Another thing" he states, 'is run
ming on car tracks, through deep ruts
and against curbs in city streets,
bringing wear on a part Of the auto
mobile tire least able to stand it.
The side wall, which is the part chief
ly damaged by such usage, is but
fraction of an inch thick and is de-
signed primarily TO protect the fabric
from the weather
1T has been found by Miller tire
experts that to make the side wall
stouter and heavier results in a de-
terioration of the carcass caused by
internal heat geNer Ied when the car
is in motion.
"The tread of the tire, on the other
hand, is designed to stand the iolts
and impacts of hard driving, for IL Is
made of heavy, wear resisting matte

bonus fund. The stock was to be
held in trust for a period of five
years, when it was to be delivered
to the employe free and clear. In
the interim the employees were to re-
ceive the dividends.
The experience gained during the
actual operation of the plan indicates
that it is desirable to make certain
changes. A committee has been ap-
pointed to make an exhaustive study
thereof, but because of the large
number of employees affected and the
many problems involved, it will not
be possible to complete the study for
several months.
The operation Of the present bonus
plan has therefore been suspended
pending the completion of the study
which will likely result in an amend
ed plan to be adopted during the cur
rent year. This amended plan will
not affect awards heretofore made to
employees under the provision of the
old plan and rights of these employees
will in no way be affected through
the suspension thereof.
