This was the heartening conclu-
sion reached BY four authorities who
participated IN a forum discussion
on "Mobilizing Americas Economic
Strength" at q luncheon given by
Alfred p Sloan. Jr., Chairman OF
General Motors, during Auto Show
week in New York. The 500 indus
trialists and business men who at
tended the luncheon were assured
that America was not likely to find
itself impaied on the horns al the
dilemma which is troubling Europe.
Except TO eliminate temporary bot
tlenecks Ia defense production, we
shall not have TO stop producing but
ter and concentrate on guns, they
declared.
The board Of experts, consisting Of
Professor Sumner Fl. Slichter Of
Harvard, DR.. Harold G. Moulton of |

President Of Studebaker, and Charles /

Itepping up normal productivity to

yay of life they are designed to

reasonable amount OF time. we can

Ir. Sloan told his guests. "But on

CHAPTER 10.

If Claire hadn't been so stunned
by the news Sanford had brought
her-that Bill Cameron was dead
she undoubtedly would have scream
ed when she entered the dark room
and felt hand reach out and touch
hers. AS it was, a violent shudder
went through her body, shudder
of fright.
There was a slight click behind
her and she knew the door had been
closed, and then a low voice spoke,
reassuringly.
Don't be alarmed, Miss Dutton.
There is no one here who will
harm you"
why is it necessary to be in abso-
lutte darkness?" she demanded. IF
there is no danger
TT is for your own protection. I
don't want you to see my face-to be
able to recognize me if you should
see me again"
But do know who you are," she
blurted out. Your"

manded, sharply. You may think
you know who I am, but you are
not sure. If any one should ever
question you about z. Y try to
make you reveal my identity, you
can truthfully say you don't know
who I am. You never have seen
my face"
But I recognize your voice." she
insisted.

Gold Imports Increase
Again During Week
BY the Associated Prese

BY the Associated Prese
Gold imports increased again last
week as Canada, the major gold
shipper since the war, resumed that
role.
The weeks imports totaled ST.
668, $50, of which 22,769,727 came
from Canada The previous weeks
total was s48,17s,791 Weekly gold
figures have f1uctuated sharply in
recent weeks. because in some weeks
Canada sent large shipments and in
others virtually none.
In the week ended January 3 other
large shipments were 1886 ,955 from
the Netherlands, s5,O09,203 from
Norway, So 300, SAT from Sweden, s4,-
948, ,139 from England and $6,059, ,159
from Australia.
Silver imports amounted to
$1,076 TAI, about the usual figure,
and included $431 ,597 from Mexico.
s407,646 from Japan and S45,385
from Canada.
AS in recent weeks, part of the
imported gold was not sold to the
United States Treasury, but was
deposited under earmark for the
credit of a foreign government or
central bank in the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank. The total Of
earmarked gold increased during
the week by s14,374,4 400 and now
totals about S1,152 ,436 ,965.

Welles Sanford. I know that can
trust you, Claire"
It was the first time the man had
used her given name and she re-
acted as though it had been .
friendly pat on the cheek.
That's all now, Miss Dutton,"
the voice went on, evenly. "You
won't hear from me again. You are
to leave here now and go to your
own room"
About the services for the man
supposed to be Mr.. Cameron-should
I attend those this morning?" she
asked.
"Oh. yes, by all means. And be
properly-er-grief stricken. Claire
felt the man move away from her,
and a moment later heard the door
click and saw vague blush haze
which indicated that the way into
the corridor was open.
"Good-by, Mr.. z. Y" she said.
Good luck, Claire" the voice
answered. She was in the hall and
when she turned a moment later the
door of the room she had just left
was closed.

is very much alive, but whether he

Cameron, until today, was still in
