That Piece of Paper
Fruits of Socialism
Notice to Creditors
The couse of economy and re
trenchment in government—about
which much has been heard lately
—seems to be in a bad way. It is
true, that at the instigation of the
President, the budget bureau has
done some minor paring in expen
ditures. It is also true that no
really important cut has been made
anywhere.
It isn’t enough to shave pennies
off the Federal budget. We’ve got
to shave dollars—and billiens of
them. The very magnitude of Fed
eral spending is in itself one of the
strongest inflationary influences.
And it is the influence which can
be most quickly curbed by decisive
action.
Congress, v/orking on the cynical
doctrine that this is an election
year and spending gets votes, did

Socialim—despite all of the voci
ferous claims cf its advocates—pro
duces nothing of itself. England to
day is a good example of that tru
ism.
The Labor government came to
power on a platform pledging ev
entual socialization of all basic re
sources. As its first step, it
prompty socialized the coal indus
try, whch has long been a trouble
spot in the British economy . But,
to the enormous disappointment of
the true believers, no miracle oc
curred. Coal production has not
been increased—to the contrary, it
has tended to decline. The wor.cers
are no happier than before—in fact,
they seem even more disgruntled.
Their lot has not been improved in
any way, and there is no prospect of
bettering it in the foreseeable fu
ture. And they can’t do anything
practically nothing in the interest
of government economy. And it is
evident to anyone that little will be
done until public pressure forces it.
So long as the “free spenders” con
tinues to be elected to high office,
waste will be the watchword.
The interest in this to you, as
worker and taxpayer, is obvious.
Take a look at one of those green
pieces of paper called a dollar. The
future value of that piece of paper,
in terms of commodities and labor,
is the issue at stake. Other pieces
of paper, called francs and marks
and kroner and yen, have become
worthless because of government
excesses. Will it happen here?
All persons having claims against
the estate of Leila Kidd Conrad,
deceased, are herby noiiLed to file
the same, duly verified, with the
undersigned, and those indebted to
said estate will please make pay
ment likewise.

about it—because the British coal
ndustry is now the same thing as
the British government.
Here in the United States we
have temporarily socialized our
coal industry. The mines, which
were seized by Presidential procla
mation during the strike, have not
been returned to their owners.
These owners are the forgotten men
when jt comes to negotiations—Mr.
Lewis’ union and the government
make all the decisions. One won
ders what thoughtful workers
think of this. Have they forgotten
that socialism, in various forms, has
destroyed the freedom of labor in
Germany, Italy and Russia?
Workers can force industry to
negotiate. But no one can force
government to negotiate if it
doesn’t want to—unless we are to
have absolute anarchy. Labor can,
if it desires, do much to destroy
free enterprise—but it should real
ize that it will destroy free labor
with it.

A MESSAGE OF INTEREST
to all who await deliveries
of new Chevrolets
* ■ ■ —
We want you to know that everything possible is being done to
speed deliveries to you/ but production still lags far behind schedule
—even though Chevrolet has built more cars and trucks than
any other manufacturer from January through September 1946
W E REALIZE how eagerly you are
awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet
you have ordered from us, and we want to
pass on to you the latest information received
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even
though that information isn’t too encouraging
at this time.
It is true that Chevrolet leads all other
manufacturers in total production of
passenger cars and trucks from January
through September 1946, despite the fact
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely
during the first three months of this year. It
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to
maintain its lead in total production during
the third quarter of 1946. And yet production
is still running far below desired levels, with
the result that Chevrolet’s output of cars and
trucks through September 1946 was only
38.7% of the number produced during the
corresponding period of 1941.
This means it may take many months for
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak
production of new Chevrolets—even longer to
fill the unprecedented demand for this product
of BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST
—and, for the present at least, “there just
aren’t enough Chevrolets to go around,” much
as we wish there were.
However, we want you to know that new
Chevrolets are leaving the plants in the largest
numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor
Division tells us it is doing everything it can,
in the face of continued suppliers’ strikes,
material shortages and manpower problems, to
step up shipments to us and to all dealers, in
accordance with a predetermined distribution
plan assuring each dealer of his fair allotment,
based on 1941 passenger car sales. And we, in
turn, are doing our best to deliver new Chev
rolets to oui customers as rapidly as they are
received and in the fairest possible way. We
are too appreciative of your loyalty and good
will—too grateful for your patience and under
standing—to do anything less than continue
to serve you to the very best of our ability.
KEEP YOUR PRESENT CAR RUNNING
Meanwhile, the most important car of all to you is the car
you are driving now. May we suggest that you keep it in top run
ning condition until you secure delivery of your new Chevrolet, by
bringing it to us for skilled service now and at regular intervals.
Remember—cold weather is hardest on old cars. Please see us
for a complete check-up today. . . . And, again, thank you/
