The commission issued eight com- plaints charging violation of the un- fair competition section of the trade commission act. The commission said the complaints | alleged the companies advertised they sold their cars on an annual 6 per) cent time payment plan. i Actually, the commission charged the interest payments total about 12 per cent. The commission said the following automobile companies had been named in the complaints: “The Nash Motors’ company, Ken- osha, Wis.; General Motors corpora tion, Detroit, and its subsidiaries; which produce Chevrolet, Olds, Pon- tiac, Buick and Cadillas cars; Chrys- ler corporation, Detroit, and its sub- sidiaries, Chrysler Sales corporation, and those manufatcuring De Soto, Dodge and Plymouth cars; Graham- Paige Motors corporation, Detroit; Heaviest Cargoes Since 1930 Carried on Lakes !

Such a consummation may turn out, in the end, to be only a dream, Fig- ures are stubborn things, when mar- the ledger. The difficulties in the way of an actual balance are very great. Yet there is challenging significance in the mere fact that responsible of- ficlals speak of the possibility. ‘The apprehension and _ hesitation which has hovered so long over the business community may be traced to three principal cAuses. is i One has been the fear of inflation The international stabilization agree- ment has done a great deal to dis- sipate that distrust, and not so much is heard about it as formerly. Another has been uncertainty as to further government regulation of business, Now the trend of affairs on that score seems definitely toward a “sweet reasonableness.” Government gestures of friendliness are followed by business expressions of returning trust and confidence. The third fly in the ointment has been the budget. Big and little bus- iness men have wondered whether the government's habit of living beyond its income could be broken before it reached the stage of a wrecked credit structure. Real assurance on that point should contribute heavily to the present upward swing of recovery. * ke How It Might Be Donc After several successive years of| deficit, last year saw the government, spending more than two dollars for every one it collected in taxes. Roughly, for the 12 months ending dune 30, last, the income was a little over four billions, the outgo a little under nine billions. Latest official estimates for the year ending next June put revenue at five and two-thirds billions, expenditures at seven and three-quarters billions. Better tax collections may boost the revenue figure somewhat. But ex~ penditures already are proceeding at the rate indicated—they have been approaching three billions for the first five’ months of the 12-month period—and further heavy relief ap- Propriations seem certain. Those who speak of a balanced budget after next June think revenue and expenditures may about come together at six billions. On the rev- enue side, such a goal seems possible, due to the business upturn. But can upwards of two billions be lopped off expenditures? The talk of such a possibility in Official quarters can only be pre- dicated on one or two suppositions. One is that the emergency agencies, including relief, will be dismantled on a wide scale. The other is that the treasury is contemplating one of those bookkeeping transactions—such as, for instance, capitalization of its un- realized profit on gold—for which it has been so severely criticized in the past. * * * President Hasn't Spoken Either course would involve hazards, and possibly shocks to the business community. —a general distrust of the currency. | ~ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.
