GENERAL MOTORS
! MAINTAINS WAGES
President Cites Importance
of BoIstering Buying Power
of Country.
Nv The Associated prass

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 12.---An-
nouncing that the General Motors Cor
poration has maintained salaries and
wages, President Alfred p. Sloan, jr.,
said yesterday that a reduction in the
wage scale would not only delay the
return CT more normal times, but UNI
necessarily limit the future prosperity of
the Nation.
panying the nine months earning
statement. previously made public, Mr.
Sloan said that In his opinion lit is
important for industry to appreciate
the fact that the country's prosperity
is founded on a high wage scale"
Buying Power Creates Wealth"
THE broader the margin that exists
between the daily wage and the neces-
stiles of life," he continued, "the more
the individual has available to purchase
additional products and enjoy and
profit by his leisure hours. This devel-
opment of purchasing power creates
wealth, which in turn reacts through
out our whole industrial situation"
Summarizing the business situation,
Mr.. Sloan said: II feel that there is no
occasion for losing faith in the prin-
ciples and policies of the corporation;
neither should we lose faith and con-
f1dence in each other, nor in our in
dustrial leaders.
"On the contrary, we individually
should do the most we can to reduce
the discomfort and suffering which fol-
low all economic establishments. Final
~ we should discharge our responsible
ties whatever they may be, In such
manner that when the tide turns-and
that is only question of time-we shall
be better able to enjoy and appreciate
the bigger opportunities that are yet
to come to us"
Mr.. Sloan explained, that had not
the corpora ton realized over year ago
that a different trend of industrial &C.
tivity was developing and started then
to readjust It's operating policy in line
with a different order of things, 1t
would have been impossible to report as
favorable an earnings position.
Firm Keeps Abreast of Times.
Furthermore he explained, cur
rent profits have been adversely at
fected by the policy of keeping motor
cars and other merchandise in the
hands of the corporatisn's distributing
organizations throughout the world at
a low point This is a. sound and con-.
structiYe policy and, although it tends
10 throw into the future profits that
might be earned at present, still the
sole consideration at all times should
be that policy which results in keeping
the corporation abreast Of the times.
