You must have noticed that the first thing said about the car, in ordi-, pary conversation, is almost always a direct reference to its quality. People have arrived at the conclusion that the Brothers give the manufacture of the car an unusual degree of personal attention; afl::atthecarisfight,downtothesmaflestdml is a widespread feeling that they take an intense personal pride in perfecting the product that bears their name.

Tonight, let us try to get a closer 1dea of what preparedness means, taking a preliminary bird's eye view of the Monroe Doctrine.

And this it is—to get men. Success at this point will depend somewhat on the situation in Burope, in Mexico and in the United States.

The doctrine of James Monroe bears about the same relation to the so-call- ed Monroe Doctrine of 1916 that a gu bears to the latest superdreadnought. It is the great American Shibboleth constantly quoted in speeches and messages as the “Ultima Thule” ot ‘They have concentrated on one car, and one car -in a determination to me'e it as good as a car can be made. % s For every part and every process that enters into -it ha ¥ F A they have personally eatsit~ ‘The work done and the materials used in each ,-end each process, in every car, must conform to that standard. i ‘The factories now cover 60 acres of floor space—and are still —but there is no department so remote that it does not feel the influence of the Dodge Brothers personal direction. ‘This intense watchfulness accounts, of course, for the remarkabl things hear about the performance of the car. 3 i Initsfi:stymithasmqukedawmderfiflholdonfl:egoodoplnm’ of the Ameri- empeople—nndifluamtdeve!opedasiuglefimltwonhmflnngebmt. ‘That it will steadily grow better under the Do Brothers’ generalship goes ‘without saying. o our world politics, though changing color from year to year, as new events happen or new interpreters interpret. Based on the historical fact of suc- ceesful revolution against Spain by her American colonies and the so-call- ed “Hely Allance” of the European autocracles, it was declared by Pres- ident Monroe that the new republics of the western hemisphere were thenceforth “not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power” and that “the ex- tension of their system to any portion of this hemisphers is dangerot peaco and safety? That is the stmple substance of the original doctrine. 'romtrmek its subscquent development would make an enlightening paper by itself.

The store that extends credit in any form has many ac- counts which cannot be collected. Who pays for them? Surely not the merchant—he could not afford to. So he must ask a little higher prices for his goods to cover the loss. You, therefore, pay for merchandise from which someone else is receiving the benefit. This is so very evi- dently unjust to the people who pay their bills that we have adopted a new system which eliminates this and which has many more advantages. By receiving cash for our goods we do away with the possibility of losses from accounts. We also eliminate all bookkeeping, collection and many minor ex- penses which all add up to a large total.

This arrangement will afford all now in need of materfal and_supplies time to advise shippers that shipments of carloads and less than carloads re- ceipted for by the carrier until and including Tuesday, March 14, may go forward without interference from embargoes placed by the New Haven company, although _ such shipments cannot be moved more rapidly than their regular turn will permre. The congestion on the New Haven road contirues very acute and the temporary lifting of embargoes is not an indication of easier conditions, but the action is taken In order that where extreme conditions now prevafl op- portunity will be afforded to arrange for the loading of material at primary points to be taken to destination as sodon as the company’'s present con- gested ctrcumstances will permit.
