People these days are confronted
with the dual problem of saving free
dom from two very different groups,
and it is up to us to be patriotic and
keep that freedom at all costs.
First we have thousands Of soldiers,
sailors, marines, and flyers on far
flung battle fronts fighting the AXIS
aggressors, SO that our nation can re
tain its freedom among nations, and
that 25 other nations may have their
freedom also.
To that end we are willing to 90
"all out" to attain that victory,
whether it means hardships, sacri-
fces, or even DEATH TO attain that
goal we will back the government in
its program Of production and distri-
button of production to where it is
most needed
But there are those among high
government officials who, while re
ccivng the peoples support for the
war effort, use their time in en-

try was formed.
trankness Needed
One main principle of our kind of
government is that public officials
should treat the people with perfect
frankness. As American citizens we
are entitled to all the facts except
those which constitute actual military
secrets.
If people are to be fined for making
dishonest statements about sugar
boarding, why not similar punish
ment for government officials who
give false information!
American motorists are completely
up in the air as to the future Of car
transportation. They are lost IN the
confusion Of reports that come from
Washington officials. One day a
statement is made that Is contradIcted
the next day. That is only one thing
about which they are confused.
The American people don't want to
be pampered at time like this. they
are sending men to war and financing
its cost to preserve liberty at home
They are ready to sacrifice II there Is
need. They are ready to give up many
freedoms which they have enjoyed SO
they can live IN Tree America.
But they are not Wiling to give up
freedoms unnecessarily for winch they
are now fighting Germany and Japan
in order to preserve these privileges
While the war progresses those III
authority are apparently trying t(
steal away these rights OF ours under
the pretenS" OF war needs.
1t wouldn't be far to the principles
on which this country was founded tC
let them get away with 1t, anymore
than it wouldn't be fair to our coun-
try not to support the actual Wal
effort IN every way possible,

Detroit Firms

! Inventories In the Detroit area
are decreasing both in volume and

requirements, according TO the
monthly survey of the Purchasing
Agents Association OF Detroit.
One reason for this is that the
priority system is furnishing a
flow of necessary materials for
war production as they are needed,
thereby eliminating the need for
forward buying months ahead of
current needs. Another reason is
that many companies have been
forced TO curtail their peacetime
business and therefore are back

Sees Good Year

Owens Illinois Glass Company
should maintain capacity opera

plants. Shortage Of tin. which may
adversely affect these units. will
be favorable influence insofar as
Owens-Illinois output Of glass con-
tainers is concerned and earnings
should be well maintained. except
for such limitation as may be i'm
posed by higher federal taxes.
To care for anticipated larger
demand this year. the company is
reopening its Terre Haute, Ind.
plant, which has been closed
since 1887. II also is building a
new plant at Waco. Tex, which
should be in operation late this
summer. The Terre Haute plant
will start operating this spring.
The two plants together will in
crease glass making capacity close
to 10 per cent.
Upward trend Of costs which
was in evidence during 1871. is
expected TO continue this year.
Selling prices, however. were adj
vanccd proportionately last year
and further advances probably
will be made in 1912 if necessary
TO Offset higher costs.
Raw materials for glass making
will not be problem in 1912. un-
less some unanticipated shortage
OF soda ash should occur. During
the last war soda ash was suffi-
Gent, although not plentiful and
the same condition is expected to
prevail now.
