The red lights are up. One of the functions of business is to create new wealth (more seedcorn), by increasing production (increasing the yield per acre), by building new plants (plantng additional acres). That and that alone gives more permanent jobs and an increasingly higher standard of living. If we continue to eat our seed-corn as we are doing at present, the day will inevitably come when we will not have enough left to plant the acres already under cultivation, and with fewer acres planted, our standard of living will take a severe tumble. So it is with capital and industry. The flow of new capital into industry must be increased---the using up of present capital must be discouraged, else we will live to see the unhappy time when there will not be sufficient captial to keep the wheels of industry moving. Only by giving capital an opportunity to make a profit commensurate with the risk taken, can new venture money be lured into taking the chance of backing new enterprises and expanding old ones. Only in that way can new wealth be created. TRUCK, BUS 0WKEB8 ARE ASKED TO AI* -DEFENSE INVENTORY 'Ai- j -i.

L.'~b7 Murnhy an«fiof tho8e thin*s which its PE°PLE AR« able to haye over and above their bare needs for existence. It is the surplus of food, clothing, etc., plus luxuries and semi-luxuries which people arr? able to accumulate. Part of this excess must be used as seed-corn to be plowed back in order to insure necessities and luxuries for future years. Just as long as this seed-corn is taken from surplus, a nation is progressing in the right direction--the green light is showing But when -a nation is forced to take seed-corn from food supplies really essential to proper subsistence of its people it is on a dangerous road with red fights allowing against it. Wealth formerly was created entirely by human labor but today an ever-increasing proportion is created by human imagination. With the advent and growth of the machine, labor has become mostly mechanical and now is of value chiefly for carrying out the ideas of the planners. Did you ever stop to consider th.^ amount of labor that goes into the making of a book? An author writes X book, a best seller. While his imagination was at work, pjien were working months and years ahead ox his book coming off the press. Men in the forests had been cutting down trees, other men in paper mihs took those trees and made them into pulp and then into paper. Other men transported the paper from mill to printing plant. While this was being done, other workers were digging in the ground, mining the lead for the type; still others were making the ink. Finally linotype operators set the type on machines made by other men, and pressmen ran the books off the presses made by still other mechanics. All of these men were put to work through the imagination of but one man, the author of the book. Even then the author was not finished putting people to work. Men had to transport the books from the printing plant to the book stores of the nation. It takes far more imagination to build up and conduct a successful business than to write a best seller. As m the case of the book, most of the work which enters into any manufactured product is planned months, metimes years ahead of the day the finished article rolls off the assembly Hne. Since it coats about 84,000 for plant and machinery to put a man to work, new wealth must be created constantly, else there can be no new jobs or a rising standard of living. Recently there has been an artificial temporary creation of new • jobs in America. It happened because we have made and are still making use qf the gjfcpred - wealti^or .of the credit * ... * * 1 Springfield, 111., Nov. 6--Illinois truck and bus owners were urged on Nov. 6 by Secretary of State Edward J. Hughes to make complete returns this week in the national defense truck and bus inventory launched about a month ago by Gov. Dwight H. Green. Prompt returns will save the expense of further inquiry. The inventory is being conducted by mail in Illinois, and all other states for the Highway Traffic Advisory Committee to the War Department. The purpose of the inventory, according to Secretary Hughes, is to set up detailed central and regional records of all trucks, busses, and freight trailers in the country. With the aid of these records, plans will be developed for more effective use of highway transportation in the assembly of defense-industry materials, delivery of military and civilian supplies, relief of dock and terminal congestion, and movement of passenger traffic in emergencies. Illinois has approximately 250,000 trucks, truck-tractors, freight trailers, and semitrailers, and about 4,000 busses. The owner of each vehicle has been asked to report its make, capacity, kind of body (such as tank, platform, panel, etc.), time of year the vehicle is most urgently needed by the owner, whether in an emergency he would be willing to hire or lease it to a Government agency, and so on. Each owner has received a questionnaire card on which to fill out this information. Two branches of the Federal Works Agency have national control over the inventory. The Public Roads Administration has planned the undertaking. The WPA is assistaing many of the States and will analyse and list the returns.
