SERVING HUMANITY.

Automobile manufacturers, pacemakers of American industry, still hidu their light under the bushel of cxces sivo modesty. The world has yet to hoar the full dramatic story of how they stabilised the jobs of almost half u million factory workers and in so doing made an epic contribution to the causo of social justice. Proud motordem's new products' parade last yoar was much moro than a mere pageant of impressive automobile progress. It symbolised tho 1 opening of an ora in which employers would give to labour, voluntarily, the higher living standard which would come only from regular work at a fair wage. A grateful nation points with pride to tho titanic industry which has had the courage and tho vision to lead the way back to prosperity. None knows just how great its part has y ecn, but ns the snowball it gathers weight, size and speed. Ho profits most who servos best. To-day's automobile is tho bost over built. Twenty-five per cent, more man hours aro required to produce it than in 1929, and twenty-five per cent, moro if its value is pain, back to labour. Materials aro better, workmanship moro perfect, riding comfort greater, while irritations of service problems aro only memories.
