Ford Reveals Fucts

ually, we were able during l945 to
produce only 34,439 Ford ear Our
cost per unit on this production
have been almost exactly what we
estimated for that small volume.
Have no fear that the Ford Motor
Company will charge the American
people one penny more than 1t has
to for al If we did, competition
would take care of such a situation
very quickly.
For your information, MI. Bowles,
to meet competition we now are
selling one of our truck models at
500 below OPA ceilings
We would like to sell all Ford
carr below OPA price ceilings, not
above. But low costs and low prices
depend on large-scale production.
That, in turn, depends upon an un-
interrupted flow Of parts and ma
terials TO our assembly lines. When
you say that only from 10 to rs per
cent Of our parts are under OPA
price control you miss the point.
Shortage on only a few parts can
stop the whole assembly line. This,
in fact, is what has happened time
and again since VI Day.
May / add that I question the pro-
priety of a Governments officials
calling Outrageous" actions taken
in strict accordance with wartime

A Thought For Today
Harry L. Hopkins

The death of Harry L. Hopkins brings end to the career of man who little known and at the same time talked about and pubczed ex-Presdent Wilson Col House prior to- during and after World War l. Acting in less the capacity for the late President Frank lin D. Roosevelt Col E. M House did for eXPresident Woodrow Wilson special assistant and advisor he will be remembered if remembered at awho of this generation remembers Col House-as of the most inconspcuous figures in Washington occupying similar position.
 Starting off as President Roosevets closest confdant and advisor in the early 30s he the gamut of ap ponment after appointment all the from Secretary o Commerce to the Presidents assistant with the outbreak of World War H. in which capacity he attended world confer ences with United Nations leaders and helped shape many of the policies which finally brought about the successful termination of hostilities.
 However throughout his manysded he remained
 man of mystery to the public until the end of his career In his final years though only 55 when he ded he practically lived at the White House following his third marriage which took place there thus showing what reliance President Roosevelt placed in him. This dependence on him prevailed even after the late President Rooseve death up until last July when sickness forced out of public service man who did more in a that little comprehended and appreciated any public servant in the history of official Washington.

of increased revenue to satisfy his demand for an increased budget.
 Despite the emotional strain the taxpayer has been subjected to dur ing this rumpus, we at least expect ed the mayor to come out in the open and declare his stand toward restifying this wrong but he flatly declares that he is backing the parties who have inflicted this ri- diculous revaluation on us.
 Well, as a political figure I be- lieve that the mayors political goose is cooked, but even in that event if I were in his place I would be re- luctant about taking into retirement with me the knowledge that I did not enjoy the good will of the citi- zens of Waterbury. However it is not too late to change his course. It is only human to err. Sometimes I wonder if our sons went to war to save our homes or foster the pol- itical aspirations of a few who try to have you lose your home by harsh taxation.
 In conclusion I wish to commend the various community clubs and their leaders for the splendid work they are doing toward rectifying this injustice, and towards this goal I want them to know that they have my wholehearted support, morally and financially, if necessary.

It helped them get priorities scarce materials argued on their behalf before OPA and WIPE, Army and Navy. It guided their hands in filling out government forms.

The Communists Problem

The Communists, as Frances leading party and sales of the ideal economic and political life, had perfect put their sales talk into practice with President de Gaules resignation But nsead of taking the prov sonal government they handled their chance like hot potato The braves thing they could think of was to sug gest lefst two-party coalition with the Socialists
 Now, France is a great and cultured country-falen evil times to be sure but still more inviting place than Russia at the time of the 1917 revolution One would think that this the ideal spot for the great eXperiment solid foundation yet enough temporary dscontent to win added support and applause for the miracle workers.
 It is apparent however that the French Communists aren't too that Dr. Marks curea will really perform the advertised miracles They obviously afraid that mistakes will be made in France and that their golden promises put into effect couldn't avoid them.
 Communists don't admit having made mistakes. So in- stead of jumping at the chance to communze France they decided to dodge the helm and pursue their usual course o snpng stirring up trouble, and lodging responsibility for their actions In fact that seems to be about all they can do For their final lessons in the correspondence course on world revolution haven't reached them.
 That is the great weakness of Communism outside Rus sa Party members know how to criticize and agate and bore from within They are superb organizers Of desrHc tive cells within alien political body. They probably know how to plan and launch shooting revolution But they incapable of coping with the prospect of clear sailing
 Theoretically they have such prospect in the United States Americans have had chance to choose Commun- ism at the polls for more than 25 years They have mained supremey indifferent to the opportunity Yet our domestic Communists have it demonstrated that when Americans decide that candidate has better political mousetrap they will beat path to his door and buy it.
 In Russia of course the situation is different The rev Outionary leaders of 1917 inherited economic wreck weak within and without They inherited millions Of hun gry, terae desperate people Those leaders and their have improved the lot of those people in the course of ongange program of domestic and diplomatic improvement interrupted by four years of war.
 Yet today if the of reports from Russia is to be trusted the people living in rather unruul present on hopes and promises of better future just they have for the last 28 This creates considerable problem for Communists in other countries whose people have suffered less and lived better than the Russians No wonder they ID the chance pay off the promises of better life
 which according to French and AmericAx standards, has never had 2 practical demonstrations

In the three years and seven months that Smaller War Plants Corporation was in existence. it tried do lot of things It set up IA field offices. It employed at its peak about 1900 people. It spent about 30 million dollars. It anything but small business itself
 When you add up all of SWPCs many accom- plishments. there is still accurate measure on how deep the government aid to small business really got. Census Bureau says there were about l80O00 small businesses before the war Eighty thousand of them were manufacturers. SWPC in the end had file on 420OO The remaining 3S.OO0 it apparently never touched.
 Some 25O0O SWPC small businessmen came into SWPC field offices with financial worries Five thou sand of them-one in fiVe-got loans Total of the loans was over 800 million dollars. This loan business has done all right and it would probably show the government a profit if they'd let it. Government
