JOSEF STALIN emerged the

have died in the official weeding out of alleged traitors to the
communist regime.
"Leaders come and go," declared Stalin, "while the people
remain. Therefore one must know how to value the trust of
the people.
"In general one should say of our leaders that, unfortunate
ly, they did not' always understand to what height they had
been raised by history under conditions of the Soviet system,
and they have not always understood that to be a leader of
economy in our conditions is a great honor and is to be graced
with great trust on the part of the working class and on the
part of tbe people."
The speech may have been awkwardly translated, but the
gist of it is plain. By "leaders" he evidently means subordi
nates. In a democracy, officials who fail to understand their
honor and responsibility to the
of office. In Russia they are executed, not by the people,
but by other leaders or officials who claim the right to do it.

intent, he has mado serious mistakes.
In the present case it was folly for him to make his German
trip and let himself be tagged as pro-Nazi on the eve of his
trip to America.' On'the top of that, in a tour intended to
show his interest in the humbler classes of society, it was folly
for him to have as his guide and manager a man regarded as
an enemy of American labor. It did not help, either, in a trip
for such a purpose, to invite so much- attention to his lavish
mode of travel and his wife's elaborate wardrobe, in some
75 trunks.
Edward, if sincere, as he probably is, in his professed desire
for human service, must learn to find his way around for him

Give Local Trapper the Bounties
To the editor: I see tn your paper
the 1038 Jackson County budget com
mittee are going to put government
hunters In this county and take off
the bounty on wild oats and coyotes,
which I think is unfair. Each trapper
or hunter must obtain a $3 license
before he can catch or kill one var
mint. And If $3 is not enough for
V. Hopkins or any government hunter
why not raise the bounty and let
everyone receive the bounty.
What can two hunters do In Jack
son County? We have trappers and
hunters all over Jackson County now
that are Just as good or better than
any Jackson County committee will
employ. Let the trappers here have
the benefits of the bounty they are
the ones that deserve it. If the Fed
eral hunters want to hunt for the
bounty. OK.
These men that are having their
sheep or turkevs killed get in touch
with the trappers of the county and
take down their "no hunting" or
trespassing signs from their farms,
and let the troppers trap and I think
they will get the coyotes caught.
The stockmen and poultry raisers
who think the coyotes are more num
erous .than in a decade, can they
prove It? Ask the deer hunters bow
many coyotes they have seen this year
compared with other years. I have
hunted for deer this year and never
saw a coyote. Other years I have seen
several. I am sure there are fewer
coyotes now than there have been
for years. Let the trapper have the
benefits of the bounty and lets hesr

By Don Pryor
(U. P. Staff Correspondent.)
DETROIT. (UP) The next few
weeks will be critical ones for the
automobile industry as It surges to
ward the peak of tta long upward
climb to the remembered glories of
1929.
Two Immense question-marks face
sales managers and other executives
as they grope for a clear vision of
the road Just ahead. They are:
1. What will happen on the labor
front?
3. What la tha retail market going
to do?
These questions are of equal im
portance; each la an unknown quan
tity; and each affects all major pro
ducers. The paralyzing strikes which broke
out about this time laat year snd
developed Into the most dramatic dis
play of sit-down tactics this co'jmtry
haa seen still are remembered with
dread. And new unrest bobs up con
tinually with unpredictable results.
Big 3 Plagued.
Today Ford, General Motors and
Chrysler the "big three" all are
facing labor situations which, while
not Immediately menacing, pose im
portant problems for executives
plagued by rising costs and Increas
ing market resistance.
General Motora and Chrysler both
have contracts with the United Auto
mobile Workers' union, establishing
procedure for collective bargaining
and setting standards for seniority
and other conditions of work. But
since early last summer union offi
cials have been bargaining with Gen
eral Motors over demands for re
vision of Its contract, and In recent
weeks relations between the union
and Chrysler corporation have be
come noticeably cool.
Henry Ford has remained stead
fastly aloof from all contact with the
U.A.W.A. and has taken no pains to
hide his resentment against and op
position to all attempts to unionize
his workers. To bring him Into the
fold of manufacturers with which it
has contracts, the union currently
is expending a large share of its en
ergy and money tn a natlon-wldc
campaign directed at Ford's approxi
mately 140.000 employes.
Future Uncertain.
This campaign has met repeated
set-backs since union officials pre
dicted last spring that Ford would
"have his name on a contract by
Christmas."
And that brings us to the second
question facing the Industry today:
What is the retail market going to
do?
Nobody seems to know. But one
thing is obvious every manufacturer
la geared for the biggest selling year
In history, but decidedly" uncertain
about Its coming.
Hopes for a record year are well
founded. According to the A.M.A..
October factory sales were estimated
at 340.920 unite, an Increase of 94
percent over September and 48 per
cent over October of last year. The
first 10 months of this year showed
sales "of 4.295,933 units, compared
with 3.691,517 for the same period
of 1936.
If these figures told the whole
story, sales managers' worrlea would
be over. But . . .
Rumors have been flying thick and
fast through this automotive center
recently and sales departments are
unusually tight-lipped. But the fact
that orders for 1938 models have not
yet come up to expectations is well
known, and all producers arc stttlng
on the edges of their chairs to see
what December brings.
