another 800,000 troops, making it
possible to equip an army of two
million.
Part for M^afaetorliig
Part of the money is to provide
manufacturing facilities for the
equipment of an army of that size
and to make the necessary guns,
bombs, armor, bombsights and am
munition for a greatly oilarged air
force. The program calls fmr the im
mediate procurement of 15,000 more
planes for the army and 4,000 more
for the navy, cMnptete with spare en

In the president’s words, “If the
United States is to have any defense
it must be total defense. We cannot
defend ourselves a little here and a
little there.” — ^
The preparations which this addi

TIRE SALES GAIN
“When a motorist tries to squeeze
the last penny’s worth of mileage out
of worn-out tires he’s taking big
chances, and why should he|take any
risks wiien, during our special mid
summer sale, he can obtain new tires
jit rockbottom figures — prices that
certainly are imusually attractive?
Besides, it matters not whether the
motorist has the ready cash, because
we’ll sell him .Goodyears, mount them
cm his car and he can pay for them
on easy installments as he rides,”
said J. Hubert Owens, manager of
McDaniel Vulcanizing Works, local
Goodyear dealers.
“Our ten-day special bargain sale
starts July 24 and ends August 3. We
have an unusually large asaortment
of sizes of all types of tires so no
customer need be disappointed.
“A wcmderful buy is the All-
American, which was introduced cmly
a short thne ago and has been selling
like hot cakes ever since. Just think
of it—only $5.15 for the 4.75-5J>0-19
and other sizes in proportioff. And
the famous Marathon only $8.95 for
the 8.00-18.
“Another thing, during this sale
we have put the price of the Lile-
Guacd, that tire within a tire, wh^
is packed with safety for the moro-
ist, down to the lowest figure we
have ever quoted.
“T^ ,i8 the-.season of the year,
when me highways are pretty well
choked with cars—people on vacation
tours, driving to the lakes, the sea-
shemav the mountains or perhaps to
one or both of the World’s Fairs.
Motorists should take no chances
with thin Urea. Why should ttiey,
whan the beet for the money in tiraa
can ba obtained, along with credit
tenns If desired? There isn't .g tm-
the sun why a cor oamar
not discard his wmn-out -tiras
now iaad replara them with depand-
able Goodyears. ^

The president took occasion to
commend the proposal, now before,
congress, for a system of compulsory i
military training to insure that when^
the new equipment is ready there
will be an ample body of trained men
to use it. How far that proposal will
get in congress is still questionable.
Any system of conscription in time
of peace, whether it is labelled “se
lective" or compulsory, is beginning
to be opposed by organized groups
whose ‘influence is yet unknown. A
large group of educktors, clergy, and
business leaders have already filed
a protest against the plan.
Mjatory-ffehred-...--. ■
Thejnystery of the delay in get
ting contracts placed and work be
gun on airplanes, airplane engines
and other needed munitions was solv
ed when it was disclosed that manu
facturers were hesitant about making
commitments under the provisions*
of existing tax laws. Many came to
Washington to see what they could!
do, or because they had been sent
for, and have gone back home deter
mined not to bid on or accept gov
ernment contracts.
The hitch has been the fear in con-
gresRUthat somebody might make a
profiv out of war preparations. There
is an act now on the statute books
limiting such profits to 8 per cent,
and allowing too Uttle deduction for
depreciation on manufactiuring plants
built especially for the manufacture
of military and naval equipment.
Since most of the things the army,
navy, and air corps need will have
to be built, in factories specially coo-
stmeted tor the purpose, and since
the 8 per cent profit aUowed has been
Interpreted by the treasury as -an
“excess” profit on which a very
heavy income tax must be paid, mak
ers of all sorts of military supplies
have been figuring that th^ stood to
lose money if they made contracts
with the govemm«it. Some who had
experience in such things in the
World war remembered that they
had. a great deal of difficulty in
breaking even.
