What Nszi Germany has
gained in new economic power
in occupied France is revealed
by Merryie Stanley Rukeyser.
noted economic commentator
for International News Service.
in the following article. fourth
of a series on the captive
states" conquered by Germany.
Before World War II, France
was the most nearly self-contained
of the belligerents. Her balance
between agriculture and industry
was well-maintained. and the
country was rich in basic mineral
and other natural resources.
Industrially, she was strongest
in the north, which is the section
that Germany now occupies. Ano
the irony of the situation lies In
the fact that since 1919, partly
with tho aid of German repara'
tions for damage wrought during
the first World War. France thor
oughly rebuilt and modernlzed hen
industrial plant.
Thus Germany has taken over
not only the rich iron ore region
of Lorraine and important bauXitt
deposits but also the cream Of tbs
streamlined industrial tools ol
France.

Used Car Sales
Expected to Reach
2 Millions in i94l

Approximately nine million
used cars will be sold during
194l. Add this to the 4,500 900
new cars which manufacturers
estimate will be delivered and
you can readily see the volume
the automobile business will do
this year.
These figures are the result
OF a survey completed by the
National Used Car Market Re-
ports among 5000 dealers
throughout the country. The
dealers represented all makes OF
cars and operated under varied
trade conditions, in small and
large cities.
On the average, the survey
shows, the public is buying 2.07
used cars TO every new car. The
ratio varies In different sections.
In the East, the ratio as 178
used cars TO one new car; IN the
South it is 2.5l TO /; in the
Central States, 1S6 10 and in
the Far West. IS TO l.
The POI ratio is the highest
this year and is expected 10 rise
as the l94l model year comes to
a close.

I suggest that We AT least in

Get rid Of socialism.
Subordinate all ssurc

Step TO Dictator

You see. a war economy means
a dictatorship. A free and demo
cratic nation adopts a war econ
omy only in war emergencies,
as a means Of attaining that
prompt. united and decisive ac-
ton which is necessary when the
life OF the nation is al stake
But during the past years Of
war on depression" VIC have be
come so accustomed TO a similar
economy" that we arc in dan
ger OF forgetting what demo-
cratic peace economy is like.

same grasping for centralized

Claims Nation
Lacks Unity on
War Matters
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics. n. \. Cniversit!
The crying need Of the hour is
that we should make up our
minds. Are we at war? Are
we going to war:
What sort OF a war economy"
are we to have?
What shall our war economics
be-
The nation is not united on
these matters. 1t lacks the fun
damental leadership and har-
mony Of ideals and purposes
which used to characterize ii.
This Is our great danger.
When people do not cooperate
in an emergency. the result is
apt to be coercion and DICTATOR

The fact is that we are at war
with Germany in every sense but
that OF direct armed clashes.

Business Upturn

NEW YORK. May 15.-passen-
ger business Of the New York
Central System is showing wide
gains over a year ago. This is a
continuation Of the gain which
first started early in December,
1910.
Currently, both the number Of
passengers carried and the reve-
nue received per passenger are
showing a wide gain over tho COM
parable 1910 period. This is due
TO tho fact that at the end Of
March, 1910, basic passenger rates
were drastically reduced. and also
20 the longer mileage the average
passenger is now travelling.
To meet the increased passenger
travel. New York Central is plac-
ing now modern equipment into
service TO replace that of the En-
pre- State Express.

however. they must start out
with a recognition of the fact
that post war effects are in
large measure the inevitable
sequel 10 war time causes. Thus.
the way 10 mitigate postwar
troubles is to proceed at this
time wisely and deliberately.
The basic point is that we are
not setting the stage for the
post war drama. We cannot
make current plumbers without
inviting the consequences later.
And from a practical stand
point a great economic mo-
