Move Auto Show?

Detroit's campaign TO bring
the national automobile show
here to replace the Cancelled
New York exposition is gaining
new impetus. Now comes James
A. Mason. president OF the Auto
Dealers Association, with the
suggestion that the show be
moved TO The State Far
Grounds. with its Coliseum and
adjacent buildings offering the
proper location.
There are many advantages to
be found at the Fair Grounds.
For one thing. it is accessible
from any part of the city and at
the same time near such odtiy-
ing communities as Pontiac,
Flint and Birmingham. The
seating capacity of the Coliseum
makes it ideal for stage preSen-
tations and there is ample park
ing space for all showgoerS right
in the grounds.
1t is certain that state Off
Gals Will cooperate fully with
the promoters if the national
show is brought here officially.

Auto
War Efforts Bring
New High TO
Canadian Output

Wars far = reaching effects
brought Canada's auto produc-
ton TO its highest level in II
years during 1910. the latest fig
ures from the Dominion show.
Total of Dds, 1884 motor cars and
trucks were turned out. This
has only been exceeded by 242,-
054 units in 1928 and 262,625
in 1929.
The 1910 total surpassed 1889
by 43 per cent.
Military orders brought a rec
ord output of l12,S5s trucks, far
exceeding The previous mark or
59.31S in 1929 and making an
increase Of 139 per cent over
1899. Truck production even
surpassed passenger car output.
However high the Canadian
figures might look, the United
States output makes II look
puny. The American factories
produced most of the 10. 900
units in the week ending Febru-
airy s, indicating that the Do
minion's annual output would
only tax the United States plants
for two weeks.

Many Difficulties

A New York City reader asks:
1fWfii stocks ever go up 10
normal level again, and stay
up?"
Answer: Eventually, but not
now. l have great faith that
, economic forces will finally pre-
vail. and l believe that business
enterprises wifi exist and be
financed by transferable shares
sold to individual investors. If
this be true values based on
earnings potentialities viii
eventually return.
But there are many difficult
ties which must he overcome.
These are AS follows High taxes,
high wages and labor costs,
price-fxing: socialistic interior
ence by government; monetary
uncertainty, war uncertainties
probability of our involvement
in a way that would give Roose-
welt complete power over bust
ness.
Stocks will sell at higher
price-earninGS ratios whenever
confidence in individual rights
including property rights, IS re-
stored.

Preparations
For Peace Are
Already Studied
BY b. c. FORBES

The tragic conditions which
followed the World War should
not be repeated after this war,
because, unlike the last time.
foresight is being exercised and
experience can be drawn upon.
The plight of our soldiers re-
turning from Europe was most
pitiable.
Enormous numbers could find
no work.
Industry slumped.
Scores of stocks plunged from
dizzy heights to abysmal depths,
carrying countless individuals
and families down TO ruin.
Initiation was turned into de-
flation.
Discomfort seethed.
The nation had neither chart
nor compass. Those in power at
Washington were without guild
ing precedents. So were indus
trialists and other employers.

InHation Query

Taxes work against initiation.
