WHY PERIODIC NEW CAR MODELS?

Throughout the length and breadth of the
land-in small towns as well as in large cities
millions of people are now examining the new
cars of the various automobile companies.
This new model period has become somewhat
of an institution, as might be expected in coun-
try where there is car for every five persons.
Yet often the question is raised why this in
dustry introduces periodic new models Part
of the business philosophy back of this custom
is obvious, part of it, not so clearly understood
by the general public.
An analysis of this procedure of the industry
was sent recently by General Motors to employ

is such avital factor in its progress It is quite
illuminating.
It iseasy to grasp, for instance, as pointed out,

PROPHECY CHANGES IT'S TREND

Confident predictions, in the past year or So
that Japan will eventually be defeated in China
have been numerous They are still forthcom-
ing whenever there is news of trouble in ia
pan or of serious disarrangement of plans of the
japanese armies in the field. And yet the war
goes on, an unremitting series of large-scale op-
erations, with one demonstration after another
of the superior force of Japanese equipment,
of the sheer, driving weight of Japanese arms
under natural conditions that are usually as un-
favorable as those under which armies ever at
tempted the subjugation of a country.
There is discerned latterly sharp drop of
optimism as to the outcome, on the part of those
whose opinions have been colored by their wish
es, by their resentment of an aggression without
even pretense that it can be justified by re-
suits other than the triumph of might, the ne
cessities of the aggressor.
The impression spreads that the growth of a
sense Of nationaliSm in China, after all these
centuries, impressive it u.s. is hopelessly belat-
ed. Russia, the Sphinx of modern nations,
makes no perceptible gestures in the direction
of China. Japan, always on the point of finan-
cial collapse, does not collapse Greensboro

But this is not the whole story. New models
serve the public in another way. About one
third of the automobiles sold each year are new
cars, the other two-thirds are used cars. Thus
the used-car market is twice large the
new car market
And here is that part that is not generally
grasped. The new car purchasers establish
flow of used cars to this large used-car market
cars having thousands of miles of unused
transportation, at reduced prices, extending the
advantage of ownership to millions of families
that could not otherwise participate. It seems
logical to conclude, therefore, that the practice
of periodic new models has been an important
factor in the growth and prosperity of this bust
ness, and has resulted in broadening of car
ownership in this country and consequent Gre
alton of employment.
The broadening of car ownership is indicated
by the fact that in 1904 there was only one car
for every 1874 families in this country, while in
1887, there was better than car for eight out of
10 families. Seven out of ten cars in the world
are owned in the United States Automotive
factory jobs have grown, during this period,

OPEN FORUM
COLUMN
FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE

good county of Ashe. What the Off
spring will be like depends heavily
upon the sort of prenatal influences
that are brought to bear upon the
mother during the hopeful period.
AS the Greeks of former times sur
rounded their pregnant women with
works of art to induce a bent in the
child toward things beautiful" so
we ought to fill up our plans with
idealistic conceptions, hoping there
by that the material outcomes of
our planning may show a higher
type conception.
In the good-bad days that are
gone, the doctrine of "well enough
will do" proved a barrier to high
attainments. The present genera
ton of our citizenship is paying
dearly for the inferiority completes
and attitudes of the past. The pay
ments are made up of unrealized
possibilities. These lost opportuni-
ties are of many sorts,-educational,
civic, political, industrial, economic,
religious, ETC., etc. Only very late
in the game, did we awake to our
serious lack of educational facili-
ties. Much progress has been made
recently in this direction. A de-
gree of progress has been made in
our agricultural situation; but most
of the genuine planning and prog
ress remains to be done. It is not
enough just to secure the money
benefits from the Government for
farmers. This aid is helpful; but
the backward farming interest of
Ashe need to apply to the great
amount of available scientific
knowledge to the production, con-
sumption, and marketing of farm
items.
This county also ought to develop
the principle Of applying the home
supply of labor to raw materials.
This is always being done in the
manufacture here of cheese from
our milk and flooring from the rem
nants of our once vast hardwood
forests. Also the spinning of small
amount of wool into yarn. However,
vast amount canning fruits, beans,
corn, tomatoes, and many other ed
ibles could be profitably done. The
canning industry up and going
would also induce the greater pro-
duction of many food products that
are now only produced for home
consumption. The application of our
surplus labor to these industrial
pursuits would bring employment to
workers and increased markets to
home producers.
Many fine building materials are
lying here unused and unadvertised
to waiting world. Fine clays for
brick making, and good building
stone, lie here undeveloped and un-
known in a growing world where
such command good prices. The
gathering of these items together
into marketable situations again
would furnish labor to workn1en
and bring money to the pockets of
landholders.
The production of 100000 pounds
of milk daily on Ashe County farms
would greatly enhance the money
incomes of the people and this milk
might well become one item which
in the future could make Ashe1
County famous. The products that
can be manufactured from our SUI
perior milk could travel around the
globe and put the name Of our fine

In every group that gathers the mysteries
of international law that permits CzechoSlovakia
to be disnaembered, Germany to "get away with
it." the right of outside nations to dictate agree
ments and "settle things" will long be matter
for hot discussions.
An American who speaks with authority and
knowledge of international law, says: There is,
indeed, no mystery about international law. It is
no more than the recognition between nations
of the rules of right and fair-dealing, such as
ordinarily obtain between individuals, and
which are essential for friendly intercourse"
He added the statement that the United States
Government considers that its own practice has
amply demonstrated that it is the consistent
friend of reform, that it has every sympathy
with misfortune and need, and that it recognizes
fully the necessities of the underprivileged. It
cannot, however, accept the idea that these high
detectives justify, or for that matter require,
infringement on the law of nations or the upset.
ting of constitutionally recognized guarantees"
The above statement by Secretary of State,
Cordell Hull made it plain that he looks upon
international law as just plain honesty and COM
nonsense. ....s
The Washington Post observed in comment
ing on these general principles of diplomacy and
international law, that the Secretary patiently
intended his voice to carry beyond Mexico City,"
since in the best informed circles it was plain
that he was addressing the entire southern half
of the Western Hemisphere.
The Post concludes: "The whole tenor of the
message was that Dutch uncle explaining a
delicate matter to family, in this case the 20
other American republics"
AS public interest inevitably turns to affairs
! at home it is of Importance that the situation
in Mexico should be thoroughly understood.
Secretary Hull writes more clearly upon that
subject than most trained newsmen. He asserts
that "the applicable precedents and recognized
authorities on international law support it's dec
laration that under every rule of law and equity,
no government is entitled to appropriate private
property, for whatever purpose, without pro-
vision for prompt, adequate, and effective pay
ment therefore,"

100000 Yearly Saving
Expected Under Plan,
Paper Says.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The Herald
Tribune says the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, according to reports, hopes
to achieve Interest savings of around
100000 yearly under' the debt
streamlining plan approved today by
the roads directors.
while the company has not re.
leased details of the plan, it is reliably
reported that the plan would scale
down annual fixed charges by about
$ll, 100000, as we'll as achieve post
ponement OF certain nearby maturi-
ties" the newspaper asserts.
In effecting the cut in fixed
charges, 1t Is expected that security
holders may be asked to agree to
placing s63,03l 900 convertible 41as on
an income or contingent basis, a po-
tential saving on this one issue Of
$2,835,000 annual fixed charges. In
like manner placing s75 100000 first SIS
on a contingent basis with respect to
per cent of the interest would effect.
saving of $750,00O, and contingent
interest of y per cent on the South
western IS would save s675,0O0 out Of
present charges. 1t is also expected
that large share of annual interest
requirements of s1o,5OO,0O0 on the
companys refunding and general SIS
and IS may be placed on a contingent
basis.
