"The 'Government of Canada sincerely . wishes to help less for- tunate people, and therefore has decided to continue rationing 'in this country, and for that reason I appeal to Canadians everywhere to help out in the distribution of Ration Book No, 6, It is Canada's answer to a world crying for help!

Employees Here A letter explaining the reasons for the closing down of the local 'plant of General. Motors of Cane ada, Limited, has been sent out by W. A. Wecker, General Manager, to all emiployees of the company, The text of the letter is as follows:~ To the men and women of General Motors: To many of you it will not come that we have had to because of lack everyone knew that our production was tinuing under the shadow of end material shortages for the several months, Last week's check showed twenty work stoppages in plants which normally provide us with vital components of our cars, Many of these strikes were of several months' duration, When the "pipe-line" from some of the supplier plants was depleted, there was no recourse but to close our plant for the time being, It was a disappointment to us that the step had to be taken, be- cause everyone connected with our material department had done a magnificent job in trying to keep Suphiies flowing under great dif. culty. I think most of us appreciate that no stone was left unturned in the effort to keep going until the period of scarcity and work stop- pages should have been past, Even knowing this background, it was still a little difficult for some poopie to understand how we had able to reach a rather credit- able production level and then find it necessary to stop altogether, Well, in the first place, we had not reached anywhere near the output we had planned to attain by this date. reason for that, of course, was the long General Motors strike in the United States which tied up our own plant for several months, just as we were getting started. 'Then there were the strikes in steel, coal, glass, copper and other industries in the USA. People generally were aware of the big strikes and their bad effects and were inclined to give a sigh of re- lief when they were settled, think- ing that the trouble was over. The fact of the matter was that the big strikes were followed by a wave of smaller strikes in the plants of im- portant suppliers of parts, There were hundreds of such strikes, and while at the first of August the total had been sharply reduced, there were still so many that production was critically af fected, As the number of strikes decreased in the United States, they began to increase in Canada. Almost simul- eously there were complete stop pages in several vital industries, Essential components were not ave ailable to us in any quantity what ever, When our banks were depleted we had to close, In an over-all sense our inven- tory of materials is large and that is why a substantial number of ém- ployees remain at work, Conscious of the abnormal supply situation, our material department took cere tain materials whenever and where ver they could, so that stocks were bullt up, It is from these stocks that some departments will contin- ue to fabricate parts and assemblies in limited quantities, which can be stored in anticipation of resumed production, In the case of certain other ma- terials, however, stocks have been exhausted. In fact the "pipe-line" from suppliers was never nearly full. Again there is a reason for this be understood, y became avail- able in small quantities after the big strikes were settled, were eager- ly sought, There was bidding for them by all kinds of industries, small and large -- most of them needing desperately the things we needed ourselves--steel and copper and fabrics and many others, We may have Soh more than our share but we could not obtain nearly en- ough for our normal program. There is a great danger when the material flow is subnormal, Not only to the production program but ot the price structure of our economy. It is in fact, an inflationary danger, The scarcity due to early low pro- duction and the scramble to obtain primary products as they become avallable has a serious effect all along the line. The tendency was toward less, poorer and more costly DANCING! MUSIC!
