The theme Of the two-day con-
vention was "better relationship
between the Americas and the
present war outlook. Last Thurs
day night A. L. Bradford, in
charge of continental news desk

Informative address on the sub
ject of, ''The Role of South
America in the Present World
Situation. He said the South
American countries were sympa-
thetic to the English and hopeful
of victory for democracy, but
that they were not taking any
sides and were not prepared to
defend themselves.
Paul o. Nafe, editor of The Nc
Dowell News, Marion, made a
number of interesting editorial
suggestions in regard to South
America. He urged that Spanish
be required subject in the high
schools. that there be an exchange
of teachers, students and editors
between the two continents and
that the Pan-American highway
be completed.
Friday night r. K. Markham,
staff correspondent of the Chris
tan Science Monitor and author
of "The Wave of the Past" deliv-
cred a scholarly address on.
"America's Place in a World of
Violence. The speaker has lived
in Europe most of his life and
firmly believes that Hitler is out
to conquer the world. He said
that there can be no neutral po-
sition and that this country must
be against Hitler and do every
thing possible to stop him.
Attendance at the convention
was exceptionally good, wi h
nearly 200 editors and publishers
being present. Friday afternoon
Curtis Johnson, publisher of The
Charlotte Observer, entertained
the association with an old-fash-
Toned picnic dinner served at the

Two possible ways in which the
purchase Of new automobiles will
be discouraged are: Cd a heavy
luxury tax on automobiles, pos
sibly amounting to as much as 20
percent; (2) a curb on installment
buying making it necessary to pay
so per cent down and the balance
over a period of not more than a
year.
These suggestions, plus possible
scarcity of automobiles, have sent
people rushing to automobile
dealers to get their orders in be-
fore the government acts.
MATERIALS scarcity
The automobile industry is the
nations leading user of many raw
materials which are essential to
defense, and some of which are
becoming scarce. That's another
reason why the government has
ordered cut in production.
This means that substitute ma
terials may soon have to be used
in automobiles. The Office of
Production Management already
has asked the manufacturers to
practice the greatest possible
economy with certain critical ma
terials such as aluminium, copper
and nickel.
In addition to the great use of
these products which are becom-
ing critical in defense production,
the industry also used enormous
quantities of other essential ma
terials, such as: 100000 tons of
gray iron; $4,000 long tons Of
crude rubber; 34,OOO.OOO square
feet Of leather; 148,OOO.OO square
feet of plate glass; and 7,535,000
tons of steel.
We want new automobiles but
most of us would be glad to wear
our shoes out walking if by doing
so those tons of steel could be
used to defeat Hitler.
USED -. -. popularity
It looks like a big year for the.
used car business.
If heavy taxes on automobile
purchases are put through, if in
stallment buying is curbed and if
scarcity develops, purchasers will
more and more do their buying at
the used car markets. At present.
it is estimated that almost half of.
the cars on the road were pur-a
chased second hand.
Dealers say they have to dis
pose of three used cars for each
new car they sell. Before they ge@
their profit out of new car they
must ordinarily sell a car traded
in by the original purchaser, sell
a second car traded in by pur-S
chaser of the first used car and
then dispose of a third used car to
the junk yard.

AUTOMOBILE .
Frank Parker Stockridge

AUTOMOBILE boom
Never in the history of the auto
mobile business has there been
such a demand for cars as there is
today.
Big jumps in employment and
increases in wages, combined with
threats of the government to make
it more difficult to buy auto
mobiles in the future, have sent
hundreds of thousands of people
rushing to their automobile deal
ers to place orders.
By the end of July the number
of new cars turned out in a IL
months period is expected to cd
ual the record production of s.
$50, APO in 1929 and many deal
ers still are weeks behind in get
ting deliveries on orders already
placed.
On the road today are about
100000 registered cars which
is almost 100000 more than the
total registration in 1929. Of these,
the automobile population figures
show that there are over million
of seven different makes of cars.
There are 6,686,385 registered
Fords, 6,46O,474 Chevrolets, $780,
$50 Plymouths, 1,5O0,118 Dodges,
1,422,O6O Bucks, 1,239,587 Pont-
iacs and 1,O74,27O Oldsmobiles.
Along with the huge demand
for new automobiles, which would
ordinarily tax manufacturing IA
cilities to the limit, the automobile
manufacturer have also been cal
led upon to produce $2,0OO,O 900, 600
worth of defense equipment.
Public demand for new cars,
plus government demand for de-
Tense production, has again cent
cred national attention on the
automobile industry-the 3O-year
old giant which already has
amazed the world with its demon
stration of mass production eff
cheney and is now gearing itself
to be able to say, 'You amt seen
nothin' yeti"
DEFENSE curtallment
Uncle Sam likes to see the
mammoth automobile industry
straining it's big muscles for rec
ord production, but he wants it to
apply all the strength it can must
err up to making tanks, planes and
guns.
Fearing ever increasing de-
mands for pleasure automobiles
the government therefore has is
sued orders to cut production.
Beginning August l, most manu-
facturers have been ordered to
produce 20 per cent less auto
mobiles than they did this year
in fact each manufacturer has
been told just how many cars he
will be permitted to turn out and
we now know, a year ahead of
time, that the total number OF
automobile to be made from Aug
ust /, 1941, to July 81, 1912, will
be exactly 4,224,152.
The next problem is to reduce
public demand for new autom-
obiles to this same figure, thus
preventing prices from spiraling
upward and at the same time
steering part Of increased pur-
chasing power into industries not
engaged in defense and into the
government treasury.
