he has no right to suggest that the
President be made a temporary die
tator" with powers so wide as to
stagger the imagination. This man,
upon entering the Senate, took an
oath to uphold the Constitution of
the United States and protect it
against all enemies, foreign and
domestic. Now he turns out to be
a dangerous enemy of Constitutional
government. Such an individual
should be removed from office.
Wants Better Distribution.
Congressman representing Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Ar
kansas are working to get better
distribution of the appropriations to
be spent under the defense program.
Congressman Hyde Sweet of Ne
braska, has gathered statistics show
ing that less than one per cent of the
defense appropriations thus far have
been allocated to the industries in
the above named states. On Friday,
last, delegation waited upon William
S. Knudsen of the War Industries
Board, and after discussing the mat
ter with him came away much en-
couraged. The great Middle West
has a dependable labor supply, eX-
cellent transportation facilities and
an abundance of coal and iron. Then,
too, we are 1900 miles inland, so it
would seem to be the part of wis
dom to utilize plants located in the
| Midwest and to place considerable
percentage of the new plants in that
area. That would make for the de-
GENERALIZATION of industry so many
have been advocating for years. do
not see how it could hamper the de-
tense program in the least were the
Midwest given due recognition in the
spending of the huge sums already
voted by Congress for national de-
tense. Rather, it would greatly help
section of the country that is none
too prosperous.
Hasn't Worked Out.
When the President signed the
Wage and Hour law we were told that
it was going to create more jobs and
secure better pay for the under-paid
Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out
that way.
Under the operation of the law
it is difficult for young man to get
an opportunity to learn trade in
one of the larger shops as the en-
ployer is required to pay such ap-
prentices two or three times more
than they are worth.

Sunday, in the course of a con-
versation between President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Mackenzie
King at Ogdensburg, N. Y, an agree
ment was reached that the United
States would consider it a duty to
support Canada in case of an attack.
While this, theoretically, may not be
formal alliance, it amounts to the
same thing.
And while Messrs. Roosevelt and
King were completing their confer
ence, William c. Bullitt, ambassador
to what was France, spoke in Phila-
delphia for the obvious purpose of
encouraging the American people to
go to war against Germany. His chief
contention was that Great Britain
must have effective American help
and have it before the Germans dis
pose of the British navy!

BY OSCAR p. PEARSON,
Chief statistician. Automobile
Manufacturers Association.

Substantial increases in produc-
ton, sales and use of motor cars
and trucks in the United States
are indicated in preliminary esti-
mates for the industry's model year
just ended.
Statistics also are now available
which show, to a certain extent, the
widespread essential services being
performed by motor transport in
both rural and urban areas.
During the IL months up to Octo-
Der /, factory sales of passenger
cars totsled 3,475,0O0 units, with
truck sales advancing to $4,000
units. The combined factory sales
Of 1926 900 trucks and cars were,
in round numbers, 1875 per cent
higher than the previous l2-month
period. Wholesale value of these
products Appropriated $2,827 $780,
600.
While the number of motor vehi-
Giles exported from the United States
dropped to $4,000, representing only
per cent of production, a strong
domestic market resulted in notable
gains in employment and in the
purchase of raw materials by the
industry.
Employment in automobile. body
and parts factories rose to $4,000
workers, and the weekly payroll for
the period was approximately $13.-
5000. In addition, railroad auto
motive freight went up to 3,755 900
carloads, motor vehicle consumption
of gasoline reached 22,044,O 900, 900
gallons, and the industry purchased

Use Of Clutch Important
In Cold Coostinq Stort

Motorists who try to save the first
cold engine start of the day by
coasting and then cranking the en-
CINE with car momentum sometimes
wonder if this is harmful. The
answer is that it all depends on how
we'll the driver handles the car.
If the clutch is allowed to engage
with a jerk there will be shock
throughout the drive-hne, with par
ticular emphasis on the universal
joints, not to mention the rear tires.
The best method is to engage the
clutch gently. 1t is engineered to
withstand a good deal Of slipping,
and this slight strain once a day in
winter isn't going to do any harm.
In this sort of cranking be careful
not to have the throttle open very
wide. This would cause the car to
lurch forward when the engine
starts.

vehicles were taXicabs and that. in
some instances, as high as 50 per
cent were cruising empty.
Our sixth and last major recon-
mendation would, We believe, insure
uniform treatment for all traffic
violators. Traffic authorities gen.
orally advocate a separate court
instead of other systems. such as the
one in operation in the District,
where the four Police Court judges
rotate. sitting for one month at a
time in Traffic Court. The principal
objection to the existing system is
the variation in the sentences i'm
posed by different judges, resulting
in numerous requests for continu-
ances when judge is sitting who is
supposed to be more severe than the
one who will follow. There is now
pending before Congress a bill pro-
viding for the assignment of one of
the Police Court judges to serve
as a full-time Traffic Court judge
We are in full accord with the
principles of this measure.
These are the major points in the

program includes:
l. Addition to personnel OF the

provide adequate law enforcement
2. Provision of adequate oft-street
parking facilities. thereby putting
to an end the present system where
BY every street becomes an out
door parking garage, and double
parking Is fo:nd in nearly every
block in the more congested areas.
3. Substitution of traffic safety
lighting for the present dim hight
ing, thereby putting an end to the
poor visibility at night that results
in two-thirds of our fatal accidents
at a time when less than one-third
Of the total trafIic now occurs.
4. Separation Of local traffic from
high-speed through traffic by con-
struction of express highways and
elimination Of trafnc bottlenecks by
construction of grade separations
and other necessary structures.
S. Limitation Of the number OF
taxicabs operating on the streets
and prohibition of the endless cruis-
ing of thousands OF these empty
vehicles by requiring that adequate
cab stands be provided at some
other place than on the public
highways.
s. Establishment of a separate
traffic court to insure prompt, fair
and uniform justice for ali tramc
violators.
