stated the case, the Allied success is
4 stroke Of major importance. Yet
it has received but scant notice, and
if a third OF the German navy has
been disposed of in something like 4
week it would seem that the achieve
ment wGuld be heralded far and wide
for the bearing it should be expected
to have on the course Of the Scan
dinavian campaign.
What adds uncertainty to the pic
ture is that Reynaud, while Boosting
of heavy enemy losses, says at the
same time that Allied navieS lost
not a single pound Besides the
actual losses, fifteen percent OF
Germany'S deStroyerS were damaged,
he claimed.
Ii the reports are correct, they are
good news. But one cannot forget
the energetic and efficient operation
OF propaganda bureaus OF the War-
ring nations. and the premier's OPP
timiSm may be generously tinged
with just that.

Can This Be True?

A waiting, anxious world wonders
just how many grains Of salt should
be taken with the assertion of
Frances Premier Reynaud that Ger
many lost a third OF her fleet in the
battles incident 10 the invasion Of
Norway. Ii the statement is wholly
true, it is deserving Of vastly more
significance than that with which
it has been received.
All the major powers have fairly
accurate information on the size Of
fleets and armies Of every other
great nation, and French navy big
wigs should have the lowdown on
the pre-War strength Of Hitler's sea
forces. That can be accepted deli
nitely. But the precise losses Ger
many sustained are something about
which there is much less accuracy.
Berlin could not be expected to
admit all the claims the Allies may
make about her sea disasters. Con-
versely, German claims about the
Allies will bear inspection and heavy
discounting.
Accepting Reynaud'S declaration
at face value-Which is riSky-Ger-
many's venture into Norway may
turn out to be much more harmful
than helpful. Especially is this true
when there is no assurance to her
that she will be able to maintain her
gains. II the premier has not over

March Retail SuIes
Not Quite as Good
As Forecast
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 18.-Motor car
assemblies this week probably will
aggregate 100000 units, according
to leading observers of the industry.
Wards Automotive Reports, which
counted 105, ,720 cars and trucks pro-
duced at the factories last week,
noted In its current survey that
"the outpuet level appears to be
fairly well stabilized now, except for
some increases which may be ex-
pected at the various Ford assembly
branches"
AS favorable factors in the motor
industry's outlook, the Ward survey
cited the imminence of a spring
sales increase period and the fact
that export volume has begun an
upward adjustment. It referred to
high-level new-car inventories as
an unfavorable factor.
Although retail sales for the first
10 days OF March are not yet tabu-
lated the trade publication added
indications from various sources are
that movement was good, but not
quite as good as might have been
expected. Prime element in such a
situation at this time of the year
is always the weather; the weather
has not been good. Beyond this, the
outlook is regarded as promising
and optimistic"
Reviewing the 1910 model retail
activities, the survey said
The estimated total OF 1910 model
sales compiled through to the end
of January shows Chevrolet solidly
established in first place, Ford sec
and and Plymouth third, closely
pressed by Buick. Then, in order,
follow Pontiac, Olds, Dodge, Stude-
baker, Hudson, Packard Mercury.
Chrysler, Nash and De Soto. Dodge
is rapidly moving up toward It's
1889 fifth place; Hudson appears
to be improving its relative place
and Packard may do likewise during
the year."

CHICAGO, March ia flood of
waddling, fat hogs, the result of
above normal birth rate and abund-
ant feed in piglots the last three
years, are pouring into the Nation S
livestock slaughtering centers, push
ing meat packing operations and
employment to five-year high and
accelerating numerous related in
dustries and businesses.
Livestock experts said today the
peak of what they called the hog
cycle" of production had brought
an unusual influx of porkers, help
ing to drive prices to their lowest
levels since 1884, but at the same
time stepping up many activities
associated with Transforming the
hog for kitchen use.
Farm Income Maintained.
Market statistics indicated farm
income from hogs has been main
tanned despite lower prices due to the
increased volume. Livestock experts
said the 5.355 600 head killed at Fed
orally inspected plants throughout
the country in January. the largest
volume in six years, had a value
based on Chicago average price of
S.. 80 per hundredweight and weight
of 24e pounds of slightly more than
s70,00O,000.
