Auto Sales Quota Plan

Managing Editor, AutomotlVe news.
Production of cars and trucks in
the United States and Canada dur
ing the calendar year of 194l is
estimated at between 100000 and
100000 units, while sales in the
United States only are placed at
100000 cars and trucks.
With the Nations war efforts TAX
ing more and more of the automo-
tive industry's facilities and ma
terials, 1t is almost impossible to es-
innate the industry's peace-time
output during the 1942-model year.
However, based on the o. P. M
announced limitations on car and
truck production, it may be pre-
dicted that the industry will not
turn out more than 100000 cars
and trucks in the United States
during the 1912 calendar year. ac-
cording to Automotive News. This
total would include about / 300 900
cars (provided materials are avail
able) and 1000 900 trucks.

trance into the war is over and its
impact on the stock market has
been milder than expected, there Is
good reason to expect that less war
worry will trouble the market. In
the place of wonder there Is now
determination. AS to the capitalistic
system, there may be more DISPOSE
ton to go ahead and assume that it
will survive That, at least, is our
best guarantee that it will.
Fortunately, the railroads are in
good condition, and except for
equipment loans there is no i'm
mediate prospect of large capital
needs. The utility companies have
likewise kept ahead of demand and
only here and there are major
extensions needed. Both these
branches Of industry are reducing
indebtedness as rapidly as possible
and in that way strengthening their
position against the time when new
capital is needed. Productive indus
try, on the other hand, needs
steady stream of new. capital.
There is a possibility that the cur
rent year will see a growth in the
number of convertible preferred
stocks and bonds issued by industrial
companies. This has often been a
means of securing capital imnedi-
ately, eventually to be financed BY
stock. On the other hand, stocks
are traditionally buoyant in war
time. An upward spiral may start
before the close of the year which
will solve the problem automatically.

Small Firms Receive

War Pressure Slowly
Boosting Volume for
Subcontructors
(By Cambridge Associates.)

Small business is still functioning.
Bewildered small business owners
wonder how it happens. because
even the man on the street corner
will tell them that their days are
numbered.
But subcontracting is slowly ex-
tending in scope because of pressure
on the original contractors; pressure
for speedy delivery which cannot
be denied in an unlimited emer-
gency.
In the early days of defense pro-
duction materials were relatively
plentiful and small firms without
priorities were under no hardship.
Slowly, however. supplies of ma
terials were mopped up. Meanwhile
the primary defense contractors
were finding difficulty in providing
space and labor to complete their
tasks.
Where they had previously been
content to let out only those things
which they could do with difficulty
they began to find it expedient to
let out their easiest work. Such
work could be readily handled by
subcontractors not accustomed to
work on highly specialized jobs. OBJ
jections from labor to letting out
work which can be done in the home
shop are passing.
Service Departments Busy.
Repair shops of large concerns,
for instance. are customarily given
miscellaneous tasks which in the
aggregate require a considerable
amount of skill and machinery.
Some of the jobs are complicated
and require a knowledge of the

ever. could be handled by any cellar

Bonds and Preferred
Shares Still Provide
Bulk Of Funds
Recovery in Equities
Would Speed Flow
Of Needed Capitol
By EDWARD b. HUBBARD,
Cambridge Associates Stan.

One of the greatest problems Of
1912 Is financing additional plant
facilities. And the meat of the
problem is the present state Of the
market for common stocks. In 1941
there was a satisfactory increase in
the amount Of new capital flotations,
but the preponderance of bonds and
strongly-secured preferred stocks in
dicated a condition which must
sooner or later be corrected.
Under the present conditions there
are four means of financing new
manufacturing capacity:
% BY Government construction
and ownership.
12) BY the banks, with or without
the backing of the Government.
90 BY offering bonds to the pub
lie, and
"a BY offering stock to the pub
lie.
The predominance of bond financ-
ing, il continued, could lead to un-
balanced capital structures unable
to withstand the strain of postwar
readiustments. Bank borrowing
could likewise prove embarrassing
and the construction of plant faclh-
ties by the Government leaves for
industry the alternative Of taking
over the plants after the war or
risking the possibility of continued
Government operation on competi-
tive basis.
Market Out Of Line.
Stock financing, on the other
hand, involves none of these prob
lens. But it has a problem of its
own. On the basis of current earn
ingS, common stocks in normal times
should sell at nearly twice their
present levels, on the average.
Even assuming average earnings
Of the past few troublesome years,
they are considerably out OF line
with normal values. In such a
buyers market for stocks, many
managements consider it unfair to
existing stockholders to issue new
stock. 1t is true that present stock
holders are generally entitled to sub
scribe for the stock themselves, but
they are oftentimes unable to do So
Fears May Diminish.
Several measures have been sug-
gested to increase the popularity OF
stocks, one of the more ingenious
being an equalization of the tax
advantages of bonds and stocks by
either exempting from taxation an
amount equivalent to the total OF
exempt interest or by not allowing
the deduction of Interest before
figuring taxes. 1t is true that taxes
are a deterrent to common stock
purchases, bu. other deterrents are
more powerful. chiefly war uncer-
tainty and concern over the capital

than preserve the basic principle
of balance in their holdings.
Thus peace stocks will hedge the
"War babies" and the consumer
type issues in between will provide
the steady though possibly reduced
income that provides the backbone
in any portfolio. Such a cross
section of American industry, rather
than a specialized group of mu-
nitions producers, should most
surely carry them through the war
to victory and the peace and re-
construction period beyond.
