DR.. MARTIN PLEADS
FOR HEALTH WORK
Head of Surgeons Urges
Community Chest to Pro-
vide Adequate Facilities.

Public health should be safeguarded
during the depression, Dr. Franklin II.
Martin of Chicago, director general OF
the American Congress of Surgeons, de-
clared in a special plea to the Wash
ington Community Chest and similar
organizations throughout the country.
DR.. Martin said American surgeons
were ready to contribute the full
strength of their influence to the work
of the Presidents Organization on IN
employment Relief. He said they were
particularly in accord with a policy
enunciated by Walter S. Clifford, chair
man. that while emphasis must OF
necessity be placed upon direct RELIEF 10
the unemployed. it is important that
careful considC. alton be given TO we'll
rounded community programs: including
adequate provision for pubic nealVn
agencies. institutions and facilities.
Doctors Aware of Need.
Few people" DR.. Morgan added, EEK
cept possibly the social workers, are as
intimately familiar with the needs Of
the poor and the unemployed as the
doctors. They know how necessary II
is to provide food. clothing and shelter
for the suffering and how urgent 1t Is
that communities organize without de-
Law and without red tape to provide
these essentials But the doctors also
realize how equally necessary 1t Is to
safeguard the public health during this
critical period.
.'They feel confident that commun-
tiles. by exercising foresight and social
vision and by administering public and
private funds with some degree OF
craftsmanship, will be able to meet
their direct relief needs without jeopar-
dizing those preventive and constructive
activities which are contributing so
substantially to maintaining this coun-
try's enyiable high standards of pub
lie health.
Appeals for Hospitals.
Through the Community Chests Of
the country. therefore, which are CO.
operating with Mr. Giffard's organiza-
ton and through emergency committees
being created in cities which do not
have Community Chests, I am making
a special appeal at this time in behalf
of hospitals and other health services.
There is hardly hospital in the coun-
try whose facilities have not been under
increased pressure during the 6epres-
sion.
This increased demand for service
has been evident not only in the num-
Der of house patients, but in demands
upon clinics and dispensaries. Similar
demands for expanded activity are re-
ported by nursing services and other
organizations performing out-patient
work. The hospitals and all these other
services must at least be kept up to
normal during the depression. 1 am
sure business leaders and public off,
Gals responsible for making community
budgets and for apportioning funds to
be raised in the various communities
this Winter will see that it would be
bad social economy to do otherwise"

ADJUSTMENT YEAR
SEEN FOR DOMINION
Canadian Bankers Declare First
Quarter Has Revealed More
Stable Conditions.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeC4dl D45paiCn 70 Inc star.
TORONTO, April ll.-Whether or
not the improvement in business al
ready visible in Canada proves To be
the forerunner Of a steady upturn. most
authorities agree that 1891 must con-
tinue to be a year Of adjustment in the
Dominion.
According to one OF our most con-
sentative banks, the business records of
the last three months indicate the first
quarter of the year TO have been the
most stable period Of the last ls
months. Yet commercial activity is
well below that of year ago. But
while the decline in wholesale COM
modify prices has continued. it has
been at much slower rate than that
noticed in 1880. Consequently, this
f!rming tendency Of the commodity
markets, coupled with the cheaper
money now available. is regarded as the
prelude to at least three forms of de-
hation that apparently have to be &C
complished before a steady recovery can
be assured.
In the first place, shareholders must
be prepared for some reductions in
dividends. For those companies that
began to pay dividends out OF reserves
in the hope Of an earlier financial re-
covery may find it necessary to adapt
themselves to present conditions before
the end OF the present quarter And
those that Sc. too high a dividend
standard in the days of the peak Of
prosperity will now have to reduce their
income payments.

GAIN IN AUTO SALES
REPORTED FOR WEEK
Increase in Movement of Machines
From Dealers to Buyers De-
velops Seasonal Trend.


DETROIT, April 1l.-Seasonal i'm
provement in automobile sales has made
further progress this week, with reports
from factories indicating that stocks in
the hands Of the dealer group are be-
ginning to move under the stimulus OF
Spring weather and low prices.
Operating as the plants have been for
months at approximately so per cent Of
normal, the added production that April
IS certain to show will be noticeable
chiefly in increased assembly and ship
ment operations. Parts output and
foundry operations during recent weeks
Fave been more than ample to supply
current needs.
Among the late reports on the sales
trend is one from Hudson Essex, which
records a II per cent increase last week
over the preceding week and marking
the best six-day showing since June of
last year.
WHY'S Overland officials report a 10
per cent gain in sales during March
over the preceding month. A good start
for April is indicated in a surplus Of
untitled orders, with trade reports indi-
eating still greater improvement this
month. The commercial car end. now
virtually on a par with the passenger
car division in so far as it utilities en-
gines and MANY parts now common in
both, Is particularly favorable.
The official view of the Chevrolet
sales division is that production is being
conserVatlvely increased in line with the
upturn Of the sales chart. Going back
to December, it is pointed out, the COM
pany led all other makes in registrations
by 1000 units, in January by 1000
units and 43 States so far reporting for
February show Chevrolet still holding a
margin. ~
