Defense Deliveries
OF 6. NJ. Climb 10
.S2O5,5OO,OOO
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 25.-General
Motors delivered S75.200.000 worth
of defense goods in the June quarter,
bringing its total deliveries to s205,-
100000, and has around $1,000, 900, 900
contracts on hand.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., chairman of
the G.. NJ Corp, said today the tre-
mendous backlog would mean con-
stantly expanding defense produc-
ton as new facilities were finished
He was emphatic in declaring ANY
reduction in the production of the
automotiye industry cannot possibly
result in any measurable accelera-
ton in the production of materials
for national defense so far as Cen
eral Motors operations are con-
cerned."
The greater part of the current
volume" the motor maker said.
naturally is made up of those
products for which basic manufac-
turing facilities existed or were un-
der development at the inception of
the national defense program >.
In these categorieS are diesel en-
gineS, military trucks and Allison
Aircraft engines.
But. in addition, production and
deliveries of materials are under way
in the case of number of entirely
new projects which originated less
than a year ago - y. Included are
machine guns, specialized electrical
equipment, tank gun mounts, shells,
cartridge cases. fuses, airplane con-
troll and instrument equipment. and
many other products of a technical
nature.
Further tooling operations and
factory construction are being pushed
to completion in the case of still
other projects more recently as
signed ="
Most defense production, Sloan
said. meant special plants and ma
chinery.
He estimated rs per cent of the
present billion-dollar backlog of
orders called for machinery outside
the corporations normal activities
and that 80 per cent of it was out
side normal automotive industry
production. The remaining 10 per
cent was made up of military trucks.
Sloan said a sharp reduction in
automobile production would in all
likelihood result in the temporary
unemployment of large numbers" of
the 250,000 hourly wage earners
General Motors employs. He said
$4,000 of them were in direct defense
work.
The peak of defense production
by General Motors as measured by
obligations already assumed or I'M
der negotiation, cannot be reached
until toward the end of 1912. ="

British Approve Plan

From R. F. T..
Financing to Take Place
Of Liquidation on
u. S. Markets
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.-The House Of
Commons today passed the financial
powers bill authorizing the govern
ment to contract the S425, 900, 900 r.
F. C. loan already announced in
Washington.
Before the vote Sir Kingsley Wood
chancellor of the eXchequer, told the
House that this agreement affords
satisfactory solution to the very
difficult problem how to make the
best use of our American assets for
war purposes
The loan is TO be secured by Brit
ish collateral in the form of holdings
in American securities. 90
The chancellor added that It over
came objections to such financing as
the liquidation of British holdings
in the American Viscose Co., a rayon
manufacturing concern, control of
which British investors lost through
the stock sale-a transaction which
also involved a large brokerage fee
for dlSbursing shares because of
( United States antitrust laws.
Sir Kinglsey said the new financ-
/ ing prevents sale of such a Subsid-
larry to other interests in the same
/ line of business"
/ Moreover, he went on, the r. F. c.
loan circumvents the disadvantages
of forcing British-oWned securities
onto an unwilling market" or inter-
fering with existing channels of
I trade"
/ Many of these direct investments
are almost impossible to sell at the
/ present time" he said, and there
fore when the r. F. c. obtained
powers from Congress to make loans
/ to a belligerent government against
collateral in the form of American
! securities no time was lost
in taking advantage of these pow
/ ers."
