Ford 10 Enter
7 Small Cars
Auto Field

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP).-
The Ford Motor Co. will mass
produce a small Ford to sell for
less than $4,000 in the fall, it
was reported today.
In addition, 1t was said. the
company viii produce q second.
slightly larger compact car un-
der the Edsel name in 1860.
The New York Times, which
reported the plans, said;
"Ford's decision TO enter the
small-car field marks the first
break in the ranks of the indus
try's big three. They have been
reluctant to make a final COM
mitment, although they have
been studying the situation for
Is months.
Announcements Due
General Motors and Chrys-
Ter are now expected to an
nounce their own small-car
plans quickly :"
There was no official COM
ment on the Times story by
the Ford Co. in Detroit.
The Times story about Ford
production plans said in part:

pany, Henry Ford II, will as

day that the Edsel name will
survive even if the present full

The new Ford will be a six
passenger model. A complete
description of the new car was
withheld, but informed sources
said it would be similar to the
English-built Ford zepher, with
slightly more rear-end over

How to Spur Economic Growth

this is precisely what they do
rear -.
Restoration OF faith in
the dollar requires facing up
to the Treasury's dilemma.
But that is something Con-
gress seems unprepared TO
do"
Another penetrating COM
ment comes from Aubrey
Lanston, head of one of the
best-known Arms in New
York that deal in Govern
ment securities. In a recent
speech before the Kansas
City Society Of Financial An
alysts, Mr.. Lanston said:
Il think 1t can be demon
strated that a close interac-
ton has slowly but persist
emily developed between what
goes on in the Government
security market and what
goes on in Congress regard
ing proposed and actual Fed
eral spending and in the
budget
Altogether. it seems to me
clear that the Treasury has
quite a job on its hands. 1t
is going to be difficult in
deed for it to do much
financing outside of the
banks. Such a prospect car
ries with it the, usual infla-
tionary connotations. There
fore, if Congress elects to
spend money over and above
the SIT billion proposed by
the President-for whatever
purposes-the future infla-
tionary potential win be en-
larged. =.
II hope that we will find
that Congress is fully aware
of what is needed. I hope
that we will find that there
are enough people in this
country who care enough
about what happens to it to
scream the house down from
here on, so that Congress
will not be tempted to be
lax in its No. l duty. This is
to repair the condition Of
the Governments finances
and to make clear that the
credit of the Treasury will be
maintained-by promoting a
stable currency"
These quotations are typi-
cal Of what financial men
everywhere are saying. They
have been frightened by Con-
gress and by the speeches
which seem to argue that
two and two can make five
any time the Government
says so.

Investors Reported Leey of lnfI0tion
As Treasury Finds Bonds Hard to Sell

come TO grips with the crisis.
Many Of its so-called lib
erals" think the answer lies
in bigger and bigger deficits
and that 1t doesn't matter
whether the budget is bal
anced. But the speeches along
that line from Capitol Hill
are soaring the investors
away from bonds and fixed
interest securities.
While some Of the speeches
in Congress make headlines
that can mislead millions Of
voters---so many OF whom
are partisanly inclined any
how--the investors Of the
country cannot be influenced
by anything except sound
economics and solid facts.
Here, for example. is an ex-
tract from the February IA
newsletter Of the Whaley-
Eaton Service. a non political
weekly published in Washing
ton for many years and read
regularly by the very men
who handle funds in the
financial and business insti-
tutions of the country:
THE flight from Govern
ment bonds is more ominous
than most Washington off,
Gals care to admit publicly.
Several recent Treasury f.
nancing operations have
failed badly. AS a result, the
Treasury is being forced to
run faster and faster merely
to keep up with its maturi-
ties. The fact is that the
richest nation in the world
is now operating on a hand
to-mouth basis.
THE effect OF all this
seems utterly lost on advo-
Gates of dynamic new spend
ing programs to speed busi-
ness expansion, eliminate
unemployment. The Treas
ury cannot spend more
money than it gets through
taxes and Government secur-
ity issues. Yet professional
and naive investors both now
distrust the latter. This
means recourse to financing
through the banks, which in
creases money supply and is
directly inflationary
"As Federal Reserve Chair
man Martin puts it: In
vestorS cannot be induced to
purchase flxed-income secur-
tiles if they fear a steady

power of the dollar Yet

top command in Europe when
we were all fighting Hitler.
Marshall, with a quiet and
heartbreaking loyalty to the
great common cause, had
stayed in Washington to be
simply Chief of Staff of the
United States Army. Through
these great years he had
stuck here at his post, a
great soldier quietly doing
the best he could while other
and lesser men put their
names and their marks upon
battle history.
He stayed here and he
stayed with his duty. And
the men who we're full of
rancor had their way with
him in Congress. They
tainted him, they screamed
. at him, they did everything
Of hate that could be done
against any man anywhere,
anytime.
Not in all our history has
one man done, in a military
way, so much for all of us.
And surely never in all our
history has one man been
so ill-rewarded for all that
he had done.
Now, in the Army hospital
at Fort Bragg, N. c., General
of the Army George Catlett
Marshall is fighting, with
gentility and accomplishing
courage, against the final
antagonist of all who live.
There are no ValhallaS
in our life any more. But
if a single Valhalla-a single
gallery of great fighting men
should survive somewhere,
one could hear from this
gallery a great shout; Mar
shall, well done"

Lots Of members Of Con-
sress are making speeches
these days to the wrong au-
dience.
Many OF the Democrats,
and even some Republicans,
are deriding a balanced budg-
ct and talking about
growth through bigger and
bigger spending by Govern
ment. But this time the poll
ticians are barking up the
wrong tree-they may be
convincing those Of their
constituents who think they
are going to be the bench
Charles of the bigger spending,
but it is the investors who
remain unconvinced and are
scared. For the Treasury is
up against a crisis In refund
ing its maturing bonds. In
vestors are seeking refuge in
the stock market, which is
recording new high marks.
Ever since the election last
November. investors have
been growing increasingly
worried about what the DEM
ocratic Party, with its over
whelming control of Con-
gress. might do to the fiscal
condition of the United
States. Also, many industrial
leaders have held up their
expansion plans. Unemploy-
ment has not been materially
reduced, largely because of
the failure of the heavy-goods
industries to come back. This
is in part due to the uncer-
tainty about interest rates on
borrowings and to the threat
ening rise in labor costs.
For, while there is a good deal
Of pious talk about proposed
legislation to check abuses
in the labor field, not much
of anything is really going to
be done by a labor controlled
Congress to remove the mo-
nopoly power from the ma
tional unions.
The outlook for the heavy
goods industries is clouded
when it should be booming.
Psychological factors are
holding up the fulfillment of
many plans for plant expan-
sion that we're completed
months ago. This is the
growth" that should be en-
couraged instead of discour-
aged.

that no office-holder helps

Very often when news

bitter and not always ex-

Usually there will be some
one present who will remind
all and sundry that those

respects the sewer system Of
American journalism.
The unbridled competition,

a contempt for accuracy, a
complete non-recognition of
objectivity. a temptation
to manufacture sensational
angles, an unashamed de-
votion to craftsmanship re-

fortunately the period has
long since passed, with only
vestiges lingering around the
Fouth Estate of today.
But, as in all such transit

Cost of Keeping Campaign Promises

Gov. Rockefeller has indi-
Gated the extent of party
pressure on him by denounc-.

Hartman, as the real villain
of the State tax piece. He
had previously denounced
such raking over Goals as
silly and prof1tless; he hasn't
changed his mind. but he
has been told that it is the
way to warm up some of his
own cold partisans.

tors also ratified Rockefel-
ler's teeth with charges that
his press secretary, Richard

eminent by handout. The

Gen. Marshall went there

China. His fear was that this
strife and resulting chaos, if
long continued, would even
