No question about it! Business
in Detroit has been good and

Buying power has increased
and the public is spending
money. This trend has
brought the purchasing of
new cars to new highs.

have put many late model

if you have been considering
a good used car NOW is the
time to secure many bargains.

Stability Distant
For RuIllanians
By j. w. T. MASON
united Press War Expert

Reports that General AntoneScu
has gained mastery over the revolt
of the Iron Guards in Rumania
cannot be accepted as indicating
that permanent stability has been
established. The fundamental griev-
ance of the Iron Guards is the
recent annexation of Rumanian
territory by Hungary under Ger
man direction; and the possibility
of further uprisings will exist as
long as return of at least part of
the area is denied
The seizures of Bessarabia and
Bukovina by Russia and Southern
Dubrudja by Bulgaria have not
caused as much open resentment
as the loss of Pennsylvania to
Hungary because more Transylvan-
lans have close affinity with the
Rumanians. Too, there has long
been nationalistic rivalry between
Rumania and Hungary.
When Antonescu became premier
OF Runania. at the time of the
dismissal of King Carol. he declar-
ed that Rumanian territorial claims
would receive his sympathetic in
terest but that nothing could be
done Tor the present The Iron
Guards, who are ambitious to be-
come the governing power in Ru-
mania, have been using General
Antonescu'S admission of the impos-
sibllity of immediate action to
arouse animosity against him.
The position of Germany in the
internal affairs of Rumania is not
improved by the Iron Guard agi-
tatlon. The leaders of the Iron
Guards favor Nazi form of gov
ernment for Rumania but they
hold Adolf Hitler responsible for
The dlsintegration of Rumanian
territory.
So, for that matter, do the fol-
lowers of General Antonescu. but
the Iron Guards are more insistent
ON rectification of the new boun-
carries. AS long as German troops
remain in practical control of Ru-
mania, 1t will be impossible for
The Iron Guards to recover lost
territory by force.
