With the advent of this one-proft -one-overhead

Why Studebaker is the
"one- profit car

There are more than so makes of
passenger cars built in the United
States, but very few are manufac-
tured complete in the plants of the
producers who sell them.
Only az build all their own motors
and one of the az is Seudebaker.
OF the az which claim to make
their own motors only IL make the
iron castings, stampings and forg-
ings which go into their motors
and one of the IA is Studebaleer.
Only S make all their own bodies
and one of the is Studebaker.
Only make all their own motors,
bodies, clutches, springs, axles, gear
sets, differentials and steering gear.
One of these is Studebaker and the
other is Ford.

which maker pays to a body builder or parts sup
plier enters into his costs just as though he had
spent the money for steel or plate glass or uphol

passes it on to the purchaser but figures his own

The Ford is one-proft car and reigns supreme
in its field.
In the fine field Studebaker-and Stude-

During the past seven years, when demand ex-

BY J. LEM tRerIln,

ON the 18th day of May Hindenburg,
~ the kaiser's feld-marshall took
the oath of loyalty to the constitution
OF the republic, which, according to
the promises of the first government,
the government directly set up by the
people, was to become a socialist re-
public and which is now openly re-
presented as being monarchy with
out king"
The so-called republican papers are
not quite clear as to the question
whether it is a triumph for democracy
and the republic that a representative
of monarchist ideas has taken the
oath of loyalty to the constitutional
republic, or whether the monarchist
danger, against which the so-called re-
publicans are supposed to have con-

tinues to exist in a more acute form

the candidature of Hindenburg as q

plans of the German bourgeoisie, of
its leading group, the heavy industry
and its political party, the German

from the outset, have clearly pointed

cover under which Britain can even

the bankers have decided on it.
OTHER factors play their part, OF
~ course. 1t is interesting to be
able to lend money that is deprecated
to the state and get interest and re-
payments in appreciated currency.
This profitable business is revealed
in a further part of the budget deal
ing with the national debt. Mr.
Churchill was very proud of the debt
reduction. 1t amounts this year to
somewhere about a40,000,O0O. In
1920 the debt stood at $685. ITO 900
1t is now e7,646.O00,0OO. So, altho
taxation has yielded for national debt
purposes in five years some e1,750,.

2182,000,000. The difference between
the two sums has gone into the peck.
cts of the patriotic investors in war
stocks, mainly the banks.
But the industrialists are growing
for another reason. They cannot yet
see how the restoration Of the gold
standard is going to help them a great
deal with regard to the problem of
markets. There is a divergence be-
tween dollar prices and pound prices.
Whereas British prices are up II per
cent above 1914 level, dollar prices are
up only 81 per cent. This difference
in price level places the British ex-
porter at disadvantage, which an

ened by the governments action in
relation to the gold standard.
1t also accounts for the fact that,
simultaneously with the concerted eff.
forts to restore othe pound, we are
faced with a general offensive against
the workers wages and hours of la.
Dor. The whole business has to be
put thru at the expense of the working
class. Mr.. Keynes projects that it

| Both will talk about the extra burdens
placed on Industry" Both will COM
plain about women's silk stockings
and underwear costing more. While
the labor party may get little extra
capital out of the situation by saying
that the pensions should be on a nom
contributory basis.
The tories will undoubtedly make
the fullest possible use of this labor
party line In other circumstances.
For example, Mr.. Macdonald and Mr..
Hayday have howled about the heavy
burden on industry which the insur-
ance tax will impose. Mr.. Hayday
said: "Mr Churchill's budget, we are
told, was to help industry. By his
pension scheme he will do more harm
than a dozen strikes or lockouts :.
"The heavy burden on industry will
handicap most heavily those trades
mining, engineering, shipbuilding, cot
ton, etc., which have been hardest hit
in the present depression. On top OF
their present difficulties, the Churchill
poll tax may prove to be the last straw
that breaks the camePs back"
THE employing class will thank the
L labor party for this argument when
they meet the trade unionists who
want increases of wages, and it
wants very little imagination to hear
the employers address, say, the en-
gineering unions as follows: "You
agree that four pence per week per
head for the insurance scheme may
prove likely to break our backs. Why
then do you come to us with demands
for one pound per week per head ad-
vance in wages, for the engineering
workers? Is this not likely to send
our industries to perdition?" Thus,
once again the labor leaders concern
for capitalist industry will be used to
defeat the workers.
So the tory government can afford
to smile. They will say and do say
that while the labor party was talking
about pensions, the tory party found
the practical ways and means of In
PRODUCING them without delay True,
they say It means a small effort more
must come from the workers, but
then if they have to wait until the
state can afford to give the pensions,
they will not get them for many years
to come because everyone is SO poor
and industry has yet to be restored
to normal.
With this kind Of reply ready, with
an enormous press to help them, they
will then reckon up the account and
see that the wealthy class has sue
ceeded in entrenching itself, relieved
itself of considerable taxation, paved
the way for bigger navy and bigger
air force, taken definite steps to hold
the empire closer to the mother
country" and prepared the way to
fight the foreigner. In short the
budget is real British imperialist
budget.

This departure from state pensions
on non-contributory basis is the
point upon which the labor party is
laying stress. The tories have stolen
the thunder Of the labor party so far
as the widows and pensioners are
concerned and transferred the pay
ment for it direct on the workers. For

This is introduced at a moment when

and certainly much more than before

sizes the fact that however pacific the

: Thus it is not the war Of revenge
against France that has become an
acute danger as a result of the cleo
ton Of Hindenburg, but rather that
war which, according to the program
of German heavy industry, has
every probability of breaking out, the
Legitimate war" of which BRAND
spoke at the last session Of the league
of nations, the league of nations war
against the common enemy of all i'm
perialists-against Soviet Russia.
After the election of Hindenburg
the SHINES organ saw the consolida-
ton of Germany, which has been
thereby created, among other things,
in the fact that the guarantee pact
and the entry into the league Of ma
tions-the two definite measures by
which Germany is to take her place
in the front of world imperialism
against Russia-will not give rise to
any further difficulties in home poll
tics, as Hindenburg takes the respon-
sibility for them, while resistance on
the part of the nationalists was only
to be feared so long as it appeared
that only Stressman bore responsible
lily for them.
A German nationalist weekly paper
gave expression to the meaning of the
Hindenburg election by saying that

tax on unearned income. Besides
these, all those with incomes over
e 25O per annum receive a little gift
amounting in all to eS2,OOO,OOO yer
annum.
While these little gifts are being
handed round to those who are in
clover, the workers come in for a bit
OF rough handling. Mr.. Churchill has
stolen the thunder Of the labor party
with regard to old age pensions, and
pensions for widows, but has decided
to do it at the expense of the work
ers, by imposing a tax of four pence
per week for men and two pence per
week for women who already pay the
national health insurance and the un-
employment insurance. OF course it is
said that the employers are to pay 4
pence and 2 pence per week too and
the state an equal amount. But Il
does not work out that way. The min
ers, for example, under the national
wages agreement pay 81 per cent of
the employers insurance, while every
body is quite convinced that the re-
mainder is passed on to the price of
commodities.
OF course the industrial element
- don't want even that, because they
are anxious for prices to come down.
The net result can only be an intensi-
fication of the fight to reduce prices
by reducing wages and frightening
the working day. At the same time
the worker cannot escape the pay
ment by any means whatsoever. If
ne gets job at. all, it is stopped out
OF his wages. Hence, the poor, out of
their poverty, are to be poll taxed to
insure the boss from any responsible
ity for either old age, widowhood.
sickness or unemployment.
1t only requires the extension of this
scheme along the line of the Mond
proposals and the workers will also
be levied to substitute broken down
industries. Already unemployment
and health insurance cost the worker
IL pence per week off his wages. To
add further four pence per week Just
at the moment that wages are again
being reduced all round is a pretty
heavy dose and is bound to affect
trade unionism. The average wage of
the skilled worker in the engineering
industry is 81 shillings per week. OF
this he has to pay 1 shilling, 5 pence
insurance and 2 shillings per week
for his trade union. 1t is obvious
therefore that this new taxation is no
godsend. But Mr.. Churchill consoles
him by reminding him that the labor
government reduced his taxes last
year. but politely ignores the fact that
the cost of living is higher, and the
tax relief has gone into the pockets of
the trusts. "2iH

vantage of the differences between
England and France by counting the
friendship of England, whilst, as a
matter of fact, the English govern
ment, following the old policy of main
tanning the balance of power, intends
to make use of Germany as a counter
weight against France.
TT is quite evident that Hindenburg's
candidature would have been i'm
possible if the English ambassador in
Berlin, who, as is known, exercises a
decisive influence upon the policy of
the German government, had made
any objection to this candidature. The
efforts of the English press to reassure
French public opinion regarding Hin
denburg's election, are a clear indi-
cation that English imperialism at
present regards the restoration of the
German bourgeoisie, not as a threat
against itself, but as a positive factor
against France.
The election speeches which the
controllers of the nationalist party
machine drew up for the National
Saviour of Germany" Hindenburg,
persistently emphasized that in the
event of his election, Hindenburg
would not make any change in the
present foreign policy of Germany
The first governmental act of linden
burg, before he actually assumed Of
flee, was the speech which he caused
to be delivered by the Reich Chancel-
Tor Luther after he had had a CONVEX
sation with the latter and which Gull
minated in the assurance of Ger
many's Interchangeable loyalty to inter
national treaties.
TT is certain that nobody in the world
= will take a peace speech of Hin
denburg any more seriously that the
peace talk which Wilhelm the last
was wont to indulge in on every pos
sible occasion. II is certain that Hin
