SOYUND THINKINO The thought is beginning to form in in any minds that the men who employ.labor are better qualified te speak on the problems of labor than those who have -neyer conçlucted a business or met a payý roll. Speaking before the Boston Chamberý of Commerce on April 26, A. *P.. Sloan, Jr., president of GenieralI Motors corporation, said: "I find myseif entlreiy out of barrnony with the thinking so prevaient that the bours of labor should be reduced'to. abÏorb our unem- ployment. "i.'arn entirely out of harmonvy with, the thought that the number of man hours of labor Isl definite anid that the unemployinent questlqn la solved by dividing the number of man hours by the number of workers. No greater fallacy exists. Around this thinking cornes the pro- p"al for a mandatory thirty-hour week.' 1 do flot belleve In tbhe priniciple underlying that pro posai. O Cn the oonitrary 1 arn convinced that the total 'amount o!. possible -productive work In the 'United ý States can be definitely expanded with a cýontinuaIIy improving standard of living."* "No reasonabieý indivIdual cari disagrêe as to the deslrability of a miinimum wage or the elimination o! ehild Iaborl; of a. graduai redue- tion in the. hours of labor tbrough evolution- a reduction on an economih ba.sis and voinvid- ent wlth a decline- in the cost of production. "On the other hand, arbitrary reductions are unsound. "Entirely aside f rei t4ie econonmîc question, the fact -remains that the. American worker in most Industries la no longer concerned with an Important reduction in horrs. He is concerned with an opportunity to work a reasonable numi- .ber of hours at a fair and equitable rate In order to be able to buy those things which lie, hiaq found to beé. esisential to bis happiness a.nd, Mr. Sloan also dieagreed with the principle thatý prospcrty depenids, upon curtailed produc- ion., He said: lTo rny nind our. problein is not onè ofo!<ver- prodution-lti s one of grave mialadjustment.' If weý could only masti in the minds o! ail that we were not at tbe end. but at the begin- ning o! our development there would resuit a treniendous broadening of our vision and an appreciation o! the vast opportunities that are before us."' This expression 'seems, more 'acceptable to the American mind than the defeatist attitude that our industrial structure is already biuilt and there is nothing more to be done. or space or distance may lead to fatalities- or lifelong disa.bility, boys and girls should exercise constant care to avoid any mishap in driving. 'A slower pace, a little more time consumed in ,,getting there and back, may save parents un- told agony and youthful drivers years of, regret. mi8&a& le 01 eL - 4u -My firat suggestion to ail motorista la: Drive carefully enough for youruellfand, the otiier tel- low too, berause the ecliees are lie lai't.

"The present system is to let the other feliow take care of us-and look at the figures!, My sug- gestion is for ecdio! us to take, care o! himself and one other driver, too.
