Says Motor Industry Will
Lead Way To Better Times
Nation Will Ride Out of resent Difficulties "On the
Wheels of the Motor In dustry" AS 1t Did Before,
President of Ass ociation Says

Detroit. March 5.-The nation will
ride out of it's present difficulties. con
the wheels of the motor industry" as
it rode out of the last depression,
when the march of events restores
nant purchasing power of the Amer
lean public" Charles r. Hook presi--
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, said today.
Mr.. Hook, who is president of the
American Rolling Mill Company made
this statement in connection with the
opening today of National Used Car
Exchange Week, the automobile in
dustrys drive to start recovery
movement by stimulating the sale of
used cars in the hands of the nation

'"The drive of the automobile indus
try to thrust aside those barriers
which are blocking the normal pro-
duction Of new cars should be of ire
mendous help in opening up the
avenue to general business recovery
and unemployment" he said. "The
present situation in the automobile in
dustry gives us a clear Illustration
of how the welfare of all industries
and of the people they employ is tied
up with the welfare of each individual
industry. When one leader, such as
the automobile industry, strikes a
slump it is reflected in retarded ac-
tivity, reduced employment and ema-
ciated payrolls all along the line.
'The only sound way to climb out
of the present business depression is
by putting people back to work in
private, productive enterprise. That is
the objective of both government and
industry. For with employment and
payrolls up, there is purchasing power.
and with purchasing power the peo-
pie can buy the products of industry
so that plants do not have to stand
empty and employees are not forced
into unproductive idleness.
There is no better place to start the
ball rolling than in the motor indus
try. Estimated conservatively, it &C
counts directly and indirectly for the
employment of more than 100000 of
our people under normal productive
conditions. That represents not only
those employed in the automobile fac
tant percentage of the workers in nu-
merous other industries which depend
in varying degrees on the motor in
dustry These include the steel, rub
Der, plate glass, leather, aluminium
copper, tin, zinc, nickel, paint, fabric
and agricultural industries which sup
ply the raw materials from which new
cars are made; the machine tool, min
ing, power, construction and other
equipment industries which supply the
implements with which new cars are
made, and the oil industry, and the
garage, sales and service lines which
take care of the new cars after they
are made
Pointing out that the automobile. in
dustry is a comparatively new one

America has shown the world it's

a new field benefits all industries and
through them, all individuals. These
benefits he continued, come in the
form of increased employment, OPP
portunities and payrolls with the cor
responding elevation of living stand

of every extension and expansion of
business activity. Whatever helps in
dustry helps all of us, for we are all
dependent on it.
"While we cannot say that the &C
tivity of all business and manufacture
ing is governed by the basic indus
tries, such as the motor industry, it
has been demonstrated that the health
and welfare of the basic industries is
a reliable criterion of the health and

Detroit, March 5.-The motor indus

Uniting in statements announcin,
the purposes of the industry's pro
gram were Edsel Ford, president O.
Ford Motor Company; K. T. Keller
president of the Chrysler Corporation
and William S. Knudser, president OF
General Motors Corporation.
The Ford Motor Company and ifs
Dealers said Mr.. Ford, "are solidl,
back of National Used Car Exchano orc
Week. We are determined to do every
thing in our power to make it sue
cess.
The fact seems to be generally ad.
mitted that the automobile industry
was the bellwether in the 1888 to 1887
recovery. We are confident that this
new united effort to start things NOV
ing again will achieve it's purpose.
The one great contribution the au-
tomobile industry made to the nation
in its efforts to throw off the last de-
preston was its demonstration OF
courage in the face of adversity. THAI
same tearlessness is evident today as
a united industry moves forward to
start the wheels rolling again.
In the Ford organization we have
an Astounding faith in our country's
future We are passing through a pc
rod of readjustment. When that
phase has been completed, we are GER
tain that the country again will swing
ahead in true American fashion"
Mr.. Keller emphasized the unusual
used car values available in the pres
ent market, at the outset of the spring
selling season. He said:
"Chrysler Corporation and it's dis
trbutors and dealers are cooperating
enthusiastically in National Used Car
Exchange Week.
Both engineering advances and i'm
provements in manufacturing meth
DDS in recent years have resulted in
giving far more strength and safety
and longer life to automobiles than
the original owner will ever use.
The cars which have been produce l
during this period have been de-
liberately designed not only for the
first owner, but the possible second,
third and fourth owners. Thus, from
the standpoint of intrinsic value,
Chrysler Corporation believes used
cars of relatively low mileage are bet
ter automobiles than people generally
realize.
This particular season-the months
Immediately following the introduc~
ton Of new models-is an especially
favorable time for used car buyers to
make their choice because the variety
of used cars offered is normally great
est at this time. So when you COM
line the seasonal opportunities with
the unusual merits of used cars gen
orally available today, the used car
market is an extraordinarily attractive
one for the public"
