President Aguirre, III.
Yields Chilean Post
To Dr.. Mendez
Virtually Entire Nation
Surprised by Move;
Policies Unchanged
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. IL
President Pedro Aguirre Cerda, g.
who had stoutly weathered an army
revolt and two plots against his
government since 1888, gave way
last night to illness and handed over
his Office temporarily to DR.. Jeroni-
mo Mendoz, a loyal follower, in a
move which surprised virtually all
Chile.
The Acting President, second such
official now in power in South
America, quickly assured the ma
ton by radio that he would carry
on the policies of the ailing Presi-
dent. who headed the first and only
popular front government in the
Western Hemisphere. The nation
remained calm, as the chiefs of the
armed forces pledged support to
DR.. Mendez.
There was no official declaration
of the nature of Aguirre's illness,
but it was reported he was suffering
a heart ailment. He was forced to

Has Had Rapid Rise.
DR.. Mendez has had rapid rise
In the political world. The middle
aged physician was elected Senator
from Coquimbo Province last March
and only recently was chosen leader
of the middle class Radical party
the most. powerful party in Chile.
A series of swift moves accom-
plished his elevation to the role
Of chief executive. Dr. Leonardo
Guzman, Aquirre's personal physi-
clan and Minister of Interior
stepped down from the cabinet and
DR.. MendeZ was named to his post.
The appointment made it possible
for Aouirre to designate DR.. Mendez
as Vice President under the terms
of the Chilean Constitution, which
provides that the Interior Minister
shall assume that office in emer-
gency.
DR.. Mendez promptly reappoint-
ed DR. Guzman to his old post as
Minister of Interior. The other
cabinet members retained their
places.
The President remained in his
apartment at the government pal
ace without announcing his imme-
diate plans.
1n Buenos Aires, Argentina,
where Acting President Pamon
Castillo is in Office during the
extended illness of President Ro-
berto M. Ortiz, the Chilean Am
bassador, Conrado Rios GallardoS,
described DR.. MendeZ's success
sion to the presidency as move
to preserve the theological con-
tinuity" Of the Radical party in
the government.
Faces Complicated Situation.
DR.. MendeZ faces a complicated
political situation in which the Left
ist parties, whose popular front
unity fell apart over divergences
between Socialists and Communists,
are seeking to restore harmony
among themselves and meet what
they have alleged to be "Rightist
Nazi conspiracy against the demo-
ocratic regime"
Charges of a plot have been de-
MED by the traditional conserva-
tive parties.
Aguirre, former newspaperman
and schoolmaster, was elected Pres
ident October 25, 1888, by a popular
front Of Radicals, Socialists, Radi-
cal-Socialists, Democrats, Commu-
nists and the Confederation of La
bor. He was sworn in December "a,
1888, and had declared repeatedly
he would serve his full six-year
term.
The Communists were expelled
from the popular front in 1910.

Burden Called Heaviest.

mo greater burden has ever been
thrown on a single industry.
mo greater call has ever been
made on any industrial group than
is required of the steel industry.
The initiative, the energy and the
reSOurcefulneSS of every man in
every capacity from the senior ex-
ecutives through every type of labor
must concentrate upon these OBJ
jectives, primary of which, of course,
are the requirements of our Army,
our Navy and our Maritime Com
mission.
I'VE must set aside any individ-
ualistic interest which interferes in
the slightest degree with this OBJ
jective. The executives must, and
I know they will, work with labor
to meet this test of their resources,
and I am equally as positive that
labor will work with the executives
for that purpose is mutual-the pro-
lection of the lives and the homes

country, as new starting point

The text of the Presidents letter
to Mr. Knudsen follows:
My Dear Mr.. Knudsen:
1T seems appropriate that I
should. through you, address the
representative of the largest indus
try producing the largest tonnage
of metal in the world, on the morn
ing of November II. the anniversary
of Armistic Day, 1918, and the first
day of the week which has been
designated as Civilian Defense
Week.
The output of the steel mills
serves as the backbone of the
weapons. the tanks, the airplanes
and the ships on which the fate
of free government in this world
rests
YOU are the leaders of the iron and
steel industry of the United States.
They have a great responsibility.
They must supply, at the time it is
required, the steel in the form and
the type essential, not only to carry
Oh the immense armament program
necessary for our own protection,
but they must supply adequate steel
to serve the requirements Of Great
Britain, Carada, Russia, China and
all other forces determined to de-
feat the Axis powers And added to
this, steel must maintain the in
dustries absolutely essential to the
functioning of our civilian life, as
well as that of Latin America and
every other civilized country in the
world, depending upon that COM

AUTOMoTIvE INDUSTRY AND
DEFENSE

When the man on the street who lives
in Boston, New York, Denver or Dallas
thinks Of the automotive industry he pic
lures the plants where Buick, Plymouth
Packard or some other well-known pas
senger car is made. He thinks of the big
corporations, such as General Motors,
Chrysler and Ford, which dominate the
passenger car industry so heavily. To this
man. this is the automotive industry and
vet important as the contributions of these
concerns may be, they are still only small
mart of what is actually theautonlotive pic
ture, points out Harvey Fruehauf, manu-,
facturer of trailers for commercial haulage.
The roster of the Society of Automotive
Engineers lists the names of approximately
2 500 companies employing individuals who
are members of the S. A. E. To qualify for
membership in this organization it is neces-
sary to be connected with the automotive
industry. Included in the list we find such
names as u. S. Steel Corporation, aluminium
Company of America, Atlantic Refining
Company, Caterpillar Tractor Company,
Ethyl Gasoline Corporation--just to men,
ton a few random examples-which show
the breadth and scope of this great indus
try.
From it have come such vital develop
ments as many types of alloy steel, includ-
inc the finest tool steels down to stainless
steel sheets so valuable for their combined
qualities of strength with lightness. It has
brought transportation methods which are
SO elastic and versatile that the element OF
mobility, important both to Industrial and
military enterprises, has reached height
never before attained. In fact, the entire
technique of war itself has been altered
due to the developments of automotive
transportation.
Certainly this industry which through
its research departments has contributed
so much toward science, engineering and
management will not stop its progress IN
time of emergency. When it is called upon
to extend itself to even greater efforts IN the
name Of Defense it would be surprising m
deed if the American automotive industry
did not take a position of leadership

WE HAVE HEARD 1T BEFORE

State Senator David e. Ward, taking
cognizance of an editorial in The Citizen
urging quick start on Overseas Highway
construction, wrote us this week that he
has taken action to get the work started.
The senator said he was writing
Thomas A. Johnson, chairman of the state
road board, and Harry H. Hector, a mem
Der of that body, urging that something be!
done about getting the highway work un-
derway.
Senator Ward, as representative in the
uppez body of the legislature, swings a
good deal of authority in this part of the
country If he sincerely intends to get to
work on the highway, his aid will go long
way toward getting things rolling.
At the risk of appearing unreasonable,
however, we warn Senator Ward and all
concerned that the people of this island
have reached point where they want more
than solicitude
They have heard many, many times
that their interests were being taken care
Of and that they need trouble their minds
no more about highway improvements
which were practically in the bag.
Now we would like to see a little ac-
ton
Members of the road board have re-
ceived baskets of mail on this subject. They
know the situation, andtit is safe to pre-
sumo that most Of them have seen and
travelled over the road.a go
At least if they haven't, they should
have, since it certainly is the most widely
known of the roads over which they have
jurisdiction
The Citizen over period of years has
played up stories Of possible road improve
ments because they were of paramount IN
terest here. Our readers, however, have
reached the point where additional stories
on the subject don't go very well. It is an
old story now, varying only little in form.
and they would rather see the road fixed
than hear about what will be done.
Overseas Highway, we repeat, is not
safe. If that frightens a tourist, we are
sorry, but the way to correct the evil is to
repair the highway. Correction of the evil
will not be attained by keeping quiet
about it.
The wooden bridges have performed a
great service for Key West, and it is time
for them to get their rest.
The state road department is about
due to get busy.

The measure, which originated
with Senator Gomez, attracted
considerable interest during the
last session of the legislature,
and has received wide publicity
through the states newspapers.
The public generally, Sawyer
said, is acquainted with almost
none of its provisions except the
fact that it permits the payment
of delinquent taxes in five equal
payments instead of in one lump
sum.
