Scarcity Distant

There is no scarcity now. or
within sight. in ordinary con-
sumner goods.
Few factories producing con-
sumner merchandise are fitted
for being transformed into arm
ament producers.
Moreover. employees in con-
sumner plants are. generally
speaking, without the training
necessary to fashion instruments
of war.
Therefore, il would seem clear
that abnormal shrinkage in re-
tail trade and other ordinary
forms OF activity would not con-
contribute effectively 10 acceler-
ating preparedness production.
Another, and by no means
negligible. consideration: A
best, taxpayers face an appalling
bill How could the blitzkrieging
of business contribute to en-
abling taxpayers TO earn and pay
their share.
Another thought worthy of
being most carefully weighed:
All signs are that, no matter
how carefully the situation may
be handled, the government s
stupendous spending will con-
tinue for two-three years and
that our economy will be thrown
violently out of its customary
channels.

Must Be Beaten

When Wendell L. Willkie
made his last appearance on the
Town Hall of the Air. he said
that defeat of the Axis powers
was necessary because the
American nation depended on a
robust foreign trade.
That statement seems to ex-
press the lesser rather than the
greater reason why the Ameri-
can people dislike Hitler. More
over. to put the aims solely in
trade terms is to play into the
hands of MARKHAM critics.
II there were nothing involved
but the volume of exports. hard
boiled statisticians could ask
how much can we afford to pay
for exports which provide but
6 per cent of the national in

OF course. exports represent
only one side of the ledger. and
must be considered in connec-

Auto
Usual Spring Pace
Being Set by Output
OF Cars in Winter

With January coming through
with the greatest volume to date
in production of current automo-
bile models, only the abbreviated
work period is expected to slow
down the pace in February. The
record output for this time OF
the year has usually only been
reached in the Spring months.
AS nearly as can be estimated,
the industry turned out approx
imately $4,000 cars and trucks
in January. This is 5000 over
December and 81. 900 better than
January. 1910.
Because February will only
have 20 working days, the VOL
ume of this month will fall
slightly under Januarys but it
should reach -the half million
mark, according to present
plans. Field stocks are higher
than ever for this time of the
year but manufacturers are un-
worried.
Although used car stocks are
up 35 to 40 per cent. they are
moving at good pace. More
buyers are coming into the used
car market for the first time in
their lives than in the new car
market. Unemployment trends
indicate used car stocks will not
become a burden this year.

Near 1923 Level

The estimated value Of the
total industrial production rose
10 a level only little below its
- average relation 10 retail sales,
and If anything was little high
compared with wholesale sales
Wholesale trade also came the
nearest 10 the level of retail
sales since 1923.
Somewhat similar conditions
appeared in October. 1899, Janu-
airy. 1897, and October, 1922
They suggest that we may be
nearing what would ordinarily
he a boom condition. and that
there should be either a moder-
ate correction here. or a big one
by the end of the year.
This general conclusion is en-
Iel4iasi77eda by the factory employ
ment and pay roll figures. In
January, pay rolls again in
creased more rapidly than en-
ployment, thus bringing the
greatest maladttstment since
1920.
Such a condition is dtie to the
defense program Since that
program probably affects steel
as much as any industry let us
examine the figures carefully.
