a Sensible Traffic Study

operation of police and Boy Scouts,
he is undertaking one-day survey
of Detroit downtown traffic flow.
All motor cars passing through
the loop section will be checked as
they enter and again as they leave.
Drivers will be asked a few simple
questions concerning their destina-
ton, how long they expect to remain
downtown, from what section they
came and so forth.
DESULTS of this survey can be
IL extremely helpful in studying
traffic tides to and from the down
town district, 1t will be helpful if
motorists cooperate.
Inconvenience should be neglig-
ible. The delay to answer the ques-
tons will only be few seconds on
entering the loop and only few
seconds on leaving it,
SO pleace accommodate the Boy
Scout or policeman who seeks to
question you tomorrow when you
drive downtown and again when you
go home.

should not consider our contributions
an annoying duty and put it off until
the last minute.
We should determine today just
how much we can give and we should
make immediate arrangements to
give it. Our promptness will aid in
maintaining the morale of the volun-
teer War Chest solicitors and will
serve as a heartening example to our
neighbors.
WE MUST remember that, in
w these black years, our War
Chest donations are devoted to emer-
gency causes far beyond the peace
time scope of the Community Fund
program. Besides the local agencies
additionally served by the Com
munity Fund, we are enlisted now in
crusade of mercy that extends to
the far corners of the war scourged
world.
We are helping our fighting men
at home and abroad, helping them
with entertainments and recreation
and the meager little comforts that
soldiers so appreciate. We are help
ing the undernourished, poorly
clothed civilians in our allied coun-
tries.
Knowing these things, we should
give to the War Chest, not only
cheerfully but eagerly.

".. By cOnscripting Roosevelt for the dura-

| 60 on quoting Browder on this subject:
-. The complex and ever-changing currents
of American political life have been channezed
into these traditional forms which took shape in
previous periods and in response to issues and
political relations now long obsolete. The result
is that today political issues are fought out not
between the two parties but within both of them.
The adherents of party are bound together by
tradition rather than common current agree
ment, and a growing portion of the population
now more than third. identify themselves as
Independent of both parties, choosing between
them not bloc but anew on each office and issue
presented for decision :"
The Political Action Committee then is the
instrument for the carrying out of this program.

ONE of the most important items in
" Detroit's postwar planning pro
gram is the combined problem of
traffic control and adequate high
ways, properly located.
Heretofore, this problem has been
tackled haphazardly from time to
time, with no continuity of policy.
Now finally, it begins to look as
if the city traffic engineering bureau
is going at the matter in sound way
by adjusting the many vexing details
to an overall plan designed scienti-
fically to meet our future needs.
LLOYD B. REID, city traffic engi-
IL neer, is the master strategist be-
hind the plan. He is determined,
apparently, to avoid the mistakes of
the past when we built expensive
highways through areas that never
carried enough traffic to justify
them.

future arteries where the people will

DETROIT was among the first

brace the Community Chest system
of dispensing charity and, for a
quarter century, its annual Com
munity Fund campaigns have been
outstandingly successful.
Today, we open the 1914 WAR
CHEST drive which, since Pearl
Harbor, has superseded and included
the Community Fund campaign.
This years quota is big one
$8,25O,0OO.
The quota will be achieved.
DUT it is not going to be an easy
I'D task to gather in that $8,250,000
The people of Detroit, like all the
American people, have been sub
jected, since we entered the war, to
constant and ever increasing de-
mands upon their pocketbooks.
These continuing financial drains
undoubtedly have dampened the
spontaneous enthusiasm with which,
in normal times, they respond to
pleas for charity.
THEREFORE,, it behooves every

The Political Action COmmitte,


TOR the Communists the 1914 campaign was
ready for them-but not as Communists.
THEY HAD TO USE A DIFFERENT NAME
AND A DIFFERENT FORM.
By one fell swoop, Browder hoped to wipe
away all antipathies to the Communist party and
to remove all doubts as to its place in American
life. But that did not occur. The American people
remembered that the Commissioned their
attitude toward Hitler when the Hitler-Stalin
alliance shocked the world they remembered how
Browder had said:
1.-THE viet-German pact is an agreement
between two powers not to attack each other; this
is quite independent of opinions about the gov
ernmental economic system in each country.
1t has been the basis of Soviet foreign policy since
the existence of that government to maintain
peaceful relations with all powers, to abstain from
all aggression, and wherever possible to express
this in mutually-agreed pacts with other powers.
American Communists, as well as the Soviet
Union, have consistently advocated organized col
lective security among all governments wanting
to maintain peace, as to present aggressOrs
with the certainty of solid front against them -"
The American people did not forget the
united front actsUity against preparedness They
did not forget the picketing of the White House
by Communists They did not forget the attitude
of Vito Marcantonio tolUard every bill in Congress
for national preparedness.

THE New Deal produced appalling administra-

most party leaders. The Republicans were re-
