Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-07

AS you and /, living in this
war-torn world, continue our
quest for personal and family
economic security through long
term investment and insurance,
we are betting that the inte-
grating forces will eventually
triumph over the minions of
chaos.
Thus. even in a acknowledgement
country, we have a stake in the
events moving across the front
page stage.
James Lee LOOMS, president
of the Connecticut Life Insur-
ance Company, in connecting the
world panorama of dramatic
events with the quiet private
arrangements Of thrifty Ameri-
cans, used an unusually felicitous
phrase.

Canal Since 1904

We should remember that a
canal already exists, and makes
a 14-foot channel from the
lakes TO Montreal. This has
existed since 1904. It's limited

Figure Doubted

This writer cannot believe
that any such number of per-
sons fit to work are today idle.
1t is easier to obtain statistics
of those employed than statistics
covering those unemployed. The
latter are largely guesswork.
Be that as it may. the very
definite prospect is that employ
ment will greatly increase.
If 1910 brought a gain in en-
ployment of 2.151 900. all signs
are that the pace will be ac-
tolerated this year.
i, for one, would not be
astonished were abnormal un-
employment almost wiped out
before 1871 has run its course.
and that it will be found that
all stabs at calculating the num-
Der of idle employables have
been grotesquely wide of the
mark.

Modern Reports

Like numerous other execu-
tives, Loomis has made progress
in undermining and improving
the quality of his annual report.
He has made something of an
educational document out of his
statement to policyholders, and I
am pleased TO record that the
tone of the report is in the spirit
of adult education. The regular
report is supplemented by a con-
densed brochure embracing the
more dramatic highlights. The
company has made start

ut has been the object of the
company" he observed. "for
nearly a century to offer for
sale, In q realistic and business
like fashion, . commodity that
may well be defined as peace of
mind. Like ones reputation,
recognized by law as property,
peace Of mind may be secured by
the wise use of resources and
sensible living. Sir Wilfred Gren-
fell expressed 1t this way: 1T is
not what you have that matters;
1t Is what you do with what you
have This commodity follows
the law of supply and demand.
Turbulent and hazardous condi-
tions of life decrease the supply
and increase the demand"

Liberelize Truck Curbs

Liberalization OF severe size
and weight restrictions imposed
on trucks by several states may
be brought about by the defense
program. Because of delays al
ready encountered in defense
shipments through the restrictive
size and weight laws. legislatures
are being urged TO ease up their
statutes. Tennessee has already
done so and IL other states have
measures in their law making
bodies 10 the same effect.
Most OF the legislation intro
duced either follows the formula
devised by the American Associ-.
alton of State Highway Off
Gals or seeks 10 raise the limits
TO the level of surrounding
states.

100 Per Cent Riqht

These important elements in
our population, and in Canada.
are in my judgment 100 per
cent in the right. Having
studied this ST. wrence
scheme independently and as an
economist. l wantato say that I
have never known of a more un-
timely and wasteful project.
AS to Canada. as nearly as I
can ascertain. there is nobody
for the scheme on its merits.
u What are the merits of the
Ease?
First. as a transport scheme.
the ST. Lawrence seaway would
not do what is claimed; while if
II did it would wreck our pres
ent transport system.

Forbes
Sees Abnormal
Unemployment as
Nearing lis End

Unemployment has been cut
in half since March. 1888. .
Total employment recently
passed the average for 1929. In
November the figure reached
was 48.261 900, in December 4S.-
$4,000. against 47,925, 900 for
the boom year.
January, as usual, broght a
dip. following the engagement OF
extra help in many lines during
the Christmas season. Even so,
the total was 47.757, 900.
This represented gain of no
fewer than 2.151, 900 over JAN
uary of last year.
These return are furnish. by
the National Industrial Con-
ference Board. Its estimate is
that unemployment during the
first month of this year was
1864 900.

Help for Farmers

Agriculture, too, stands to be
benefited.
In viewing the outlook, IL
should not be overlooked that
wage rates in most industries
are distinctly higher I ay than
in the past, that the purchasing
power of the current average
industrial pay envelope is dis
tinctly greater than was the
case during the boom.
Moreover, the depression has
enforced farflung doing with
out" Therefore, the widespread
unemployment is certain to
stimulate the business pace
not through wild speculative
buying. as in 1928-29. but
through filling of legitimate
wants.
1t is to be hoped that the
American people as a whole will
exercise moderation, that they
will resist overspending il. as
and when their income in
creases
The national interest demands
that reasonable saving be prac-
ticed in order to buy part OF
the many billions of government
obligations which will have TO
be floated to finance our de-
fense--let US hope not actual
war-activities. Every family
should feel a sense of response
bility for dong its part patrioti-
cally.

Pontiac Drive Nears End

Pontiac's Ring the Bell sales
campaign is in its final stages
with a neck-and-neck race de-
veloping rapidly. according to ID.
U. Bathrick general sales man
ager. While the Pacific Coast
region was leading all others in
the first half of the drive, other
sections have come along fast
and threaten to pass the coast.
Bathrick reported.
Most sections are expected to
exceed their quotas. as the first
half of the campaign showed
54.6 per cent of the sales quotas
already obtained.

Just the Beginning

Our preparedness program is
only beginning to get under way.
Within a few months, however.
some of the huge new plants
under construction for defense
purposes will be completed. And
by the year-end, the total will
have become truly gigantic.
AS plant after plant opens its
doors to workers, the employ
ment total will rise sharply.
gaining momentum each month.
Leading corporations are Wig
ilantly training men for the
skilled jobs which the new fac
tc-.es will need. AS new forces
are put to work. still larger
numbers of recruits will be
taken on.
Also, the places of mechanics
and other craftsmen withdrawn
from existing PLANTS to man new
ones will have to be filled.
Meanwhile, the procession of
young men from civilian to
military life will continue. This
means absorption of additional
hundreds of thousands. thus
substantially cutting down
available employables.
AS production expands, rail-
way and trucking companies
will have TO come into the labor
market on Nnsiderable scale.
The rising weekly pay roll
will lift retail trade all along
the line, will bring more bust
ness to suppliers of food. CLOTH
ing, shoes and a wide variety
of household necessities, COM
forts, Injuries.

Prudent Handling

1t is the obligation of men in
position of trusteeship in the
great popular financial institu-
tons to make their cooperating
members aware of their interest
in a prudent handling of the
assets of the United States.
Once the bearing of public policy
on private security is widely
grasped. there will be an over
whelming public demand for
thrift and industry, and a dis
taste for spendthrifts in public
office.
