AV E YO U O p posit i on Dealers are telling

prospects for a Vau xhall " 1 4 " that

the body is too big for i ts power.

This is another lie you can ram down

their throats, and make sales on

such a statement .

The 1 9 3 9 Vau xhall " J" 1 4 h.p. Sedan

i s about 5 cwt. lighter than last year's

j ob, because of u p - to - the-minute

al l -steel construction. Yet it IS a

six-place car.

There is a specific electrode gap tor every motor-car engine, and to ensure that the right gap is mai ntai ned i t is wise to have

your Spark Pl ugs checked every 3,000 m i l es. A good plan is to have this done

when you send your car i n for periodical servici ng-greasi ng and changing of engine oil . You wi l l find that it wi l l pay you to do

this, for too wide an el ectrode gap 1s a

Wl-lt>.T'S T"t: USE TREATING IT ? IT'LL ONL'{ RECUR AGtt..\N I ...

LET'S LANCE IT NOW AND BE i>OHE WITH IT I

Many of us were too young when the last war was on to remember quite what happened here

in Australia. Many of us were busy in other parts of the world and were largely out of touch

with conditions at home. From the business po int of view it was a boom. The emergency helped

Australia to create many new secondary industries . Our great iron and steel industry was born

then. Australia entered the war a colony and c ame out of it a nation. Sixty-thousand of our

best men died. Many thousands more mourned them. But their sacrifice did result in a bigger, ·

happier and more prosperous Australia. This time we are far more prepared. Our sacrifice in

lives may not be great; but the opportunities for a great industrial revival are without precedent in

our history.

WHAT THE WAR CAN "TRUTH" hates war and hoped until the last

minute that the present conflict could be sidestepped reasonably and honorably. This proved impossible. And now there's a gloomy lethargy apparent in some trade circles where there should be vigor and enterprise. Too many business leaders, it seems, have forgotten that the value of Australia's exports jumped from

£79,000,000 in 1913 to £114,000,000 in 1918, and

factory employes from 337,000 to 376,000. In

short, Australia emerged from the 1914-18 war with a greater commerce; she found herself with new industries and new trade connections.

THE fact that Australia would have preferred to gain these advantages by progress in

normal years was as true then as the feeling to-day that she would prefer to win any future commercial prosperity by peace-time effort. But there's a 'job to be done to-day, just as there was a job facing Australia in 1914. Precedent and cold fact point to a busy primary prl)duction and manufacturing period in Australia from now on, as the Prime Minister has said, Australia can best help the British cause by realising this and getting down to the job of production. This is no time to gloom.

1\.TOR is it a time in which business sharks and ' ,, opportunists can be permitted to wring '11ordinate profits from the sufferings of the'

Uied peoples. In the last war, reasonable rofits were made, but lt was a matter or-�-­

- stralian pride that the moderate profits on :..ustralian commodities lessened the appalling

.!Ost of war to the British people. Neutral countries reaped an out-size trade harvest by

r supplying the Allies and any enemy in a position to take their products. But Australia was as much concerned with the result of the 1914-18 conflict as she is with the result of the present war; fair dealing and co-operation will be as necessary between Australia and the United Kingdom as they were in 1914-18.

ALREADY Mr. Menzies has announced

completion of an agreement by which Great Britain is to buy all Australian surpluses of butter, cheese, meat, eggs, canned fruits and

. dried fruits. The entire Australian wool clip is also to be bought by Britain during the war period. Other United Kingdom ,supply agree­ments are certain to follow, and with few exceptions, nearly every ·necessary Australian industry is on the threshold of a production boost similar to that experienced in 1914-18.

IT is true that for the first few months there

will be trade dislocations, doubts, and worries. These are wartime certainties. But announcement within a few days of the out­break of war of the supply agreements already broadcast indicates that the .hesitation period will be shorter this time than it was 25 years ago. Britain knows better what she will want and what France will want; Australian peace-time planning has given the authorities a better idea of the production tasks Australia will -be able to fulfil.

Australian business. Affec­

WITH New Zealand and South America, this country was the principal source of

Britain's' meat supply in the last war. India, South Africa, Saigon and Burma, France, Italy, and American troops in the Philippines and Honolulu all drew on Australian meat before 1918. Interruption of United Kingdom farming meant heavier consumption of Australian meat by the civilian population. Steps were taken to keep United Kingdom prices at a reasonable level, and the military forces of the Allies were supplied on a moderate profit basis. Yet the expansion of Australian markets boosted Australian receipts.

MEAT was the first Australian product the British authorities drew on extensively, but

wool was a close second. London sales in October, 1914, indicated the trend, and prices rose steeply. Early, there were hesitations and difficulties. Demand for military purposes­clothing, blankets, and so on-meant that Australia had to close down on wool exports to neutrals unless the neutrals satisfactorily guaranteed there would be no diversion of manufactured articles to enemy countries. By Novembet:, 1916, the British Government had purchased the whole Australian and New Zealand clips for the remainder of the war. The price was 55 per cent. above pre-war values.

w HEAT faced problems of its own, which were only partially overcome by the wheat

pool formation in 1915. Bread supplies had to be kept up by the Allies and European wheat production was 60 per cent. lower by 1917 than it averaged for five years prior to 1913. But Canada and the United States, two heavy wheat producers, were much nearer the Allies; destruction of shipping produced a ship shortage that ruled again the long voyages for Australian wheat when wheat could be procured from across the Atlantic. Nevertheless Victorian wheat brought' better than 4/10 a bushel in 1915-16, and 5/2 in 1917-18.

BEFORE· the war, a lot of Australian butter was finding United Kingdom buyers, but

this market was insignificant to the one opened up ·oy · the conflict. The shipping shortage prompted the British authorities in 1917 to

purchase Australia's whole surplus of butter and of cheese; latter was an important military ration, and a small pre.:.war export was turned into a huge one by the closing months of the last war. When the Allies kept fertilisers from reaching Denmark from which Germany was purchasing dairy produce, the Danish export trade fell off, and the place of Danish products in Allied countries was taken by produce from Australia and New Zealand.

THE shipping shortage and high freights applying to imports resulted in a boom for

numerous manufacturing industries supplying Australia's home requirements. Dress materials and home furnishings rose steeply in price. Such commodities as galvanised iron and barbed wire-became almost unprocurable before local manufacturers got down to the job of making them instead of importing them. Federal bounties assisted their production, and it was at this time that Australia laid the foundations of many manufacturing industries occupying important commercial positions to-day.

THE Broken Hill Proprietary Company in its present form was born in 1915; before the

war, silver lead ores and concentrates had been the major production engaged upon by a largely-German concern operating the existing fields. By 1919, Australia's yearly output of pig-iron had jumped to 332,000 tons instead of the 47,000 recorded in 1913. This expansion did much to meet local iron and steel requirements for railways, buildings, ship­building, and subsidiary industries. And the B.H.P. Co. has never looked back.

WOOLLEN mills,tanneries, foundries, butter and .condensed milk factories, canneries,

boot and shoe works all expanded steadily. Local manufacture of all necessaries would have increased much more had Australia been able to buy and import machinery from abroad;

Australian fruit growers was turned to their articles it was noted in 1919 were under advantage with huge increases in the export to Australian manufacture and had not been made the Allies of jam, fruits, and tinned fruits. here in 1913 will be increased out of sight if the The military preference for Australian jam- world has to suffer the present conflict for very shared by American troops, too-overcame long. civilian prejudices, and this Australian export increased 40 per cent. and its value 60 per cent. Dried fruit exports jumped four-fold, and canned fruit twenty-fold.

SIMILAR export increases were experiencel by bacon and ham, frozen rabbits, hides,

sheepskins, and tallow. Twice as much ham left Australia every war year as was exported in 1913, and more than twice the amount of bacon. Much more tinned meat would have been bought by the Allies, and much more canned fruit, had Australia possessed the can­manufacturing plants in operation to-day.

THE battlefront reputation of Australian boots spread among the Allied forces and in

no tTrne'"at all Australian leather was being sought by the British, Indian, and Allied Governments. Towards the end of the war the British and Indian Governments gave Australia an order for 200,000 pairs of boots for Ghurka troops, and. the Egyptian Government was buying similarly for its Sudanese police. Tallow, from which is extracted the glycerine used as a propellant by Britain and Japan in the cordite required for ammunition, was another Austra­

.lian commodity for which there was ah increas-ing wartime market.

SO, Prime Minister Menzies is right when he advises business as usual; he would be

right, too, if he suggested that eve;n more vigor and enterprise were called for than in peace­time. Trade plans may have to be altered and methods changed-but ordinary Australian commercial ingenuity can meet these problems as they arise. Maybe Australia will be called upon to supply friendly Eastern Markets hitherto supplied with United Kingdom goods that the present demand for munitions prevents the United Kingdom from making. And there won't be the shipping shortage there was in 1914-18, for the British Navy doesn't appear to be up against the strength it met in the last war; it should have more opportunity for convoying cargo steamers safely to Allied ports.

* *

IT is true th�t puzzling supply problems have

to be overcome by Australian Governments and by Australian business bosses. But the trade opportunities abound and this is no time to be glooming. Anti-profiteering regulations have to be formulated if ·British and Australian consumers are to be protected as they deserve to be protected in wartime. . . But surely no Australian businessman wants more than a fair commercial -deal. Bloodless profiteering sharks should be hooked before they get into the swim -and the fair dealers encouraged in every way at the disposal of the Federal Government.

MARKET MEETS

CALMLY

WAR

-- · --

Primary Products Prices Should Rise WAR has .come to Australia as to the rest of the British

Empire and, as was expected, Stock Exchanges were dosed. Actually, the exchanges were dosed on Satur­

day, before the declaration. When war broke out in 1914, Australian Stock Exchanges were dosed for two

months, but on this occasion, such was the temper of the public that the courageous ste,p of re-opening Stock Exchanges was taken and business was resumed on

Tuesday morning, September 5.

CERTAIN precautions were taken to prevent or mitigate "panic"

selling. Members of the Stock Ex­changes had been asked last week by their chairman in Melbourne and in Sydney to refrain from short-selling for themselves or their. clients, and when the ex­changes were re-opened, short­selling was prohibited.

Although prices weakened when the . exchanges were re-opened, the extent of the fall was surprisingly limited and reflected the menta1 stability and free­dom. from fear of the Australian in­vestor.

Of the market leaders, Australian Consolidated Industries came down by only 1/3 to 32/-, Broken Hill Proprietary by 2/9 to 61/9, Dunlop­Perdriau by 11- to 18/-, Electro­lytic Zinc by 1/3 t� .48/- (the qu<?­tatlon being ex d1v1dend approXI­mately 1/9) and G. J. Coles or­dinary by 5/- to 64/6.

OQvernment bonds held their prices very well the redempt�on return on most of the 4 per cent. issues rising to only about £4/1/- per cent.

81lver-lead and copper shares were actually stronger, Broken Hill South moving up 1/- to 25/6, North Broken HW 6d. to 43/-, and Mount Lyell 3d. to 25/3. Gold mining shares weakened a little, but movements were unimporL­ant.

On Wednesday morning prices were lP� the same as at the re-opening. � mining shares were generally a Uttle firmer. Some industrials were slightly easier, but others improved, a notable movement beiag a rise in Bro­ken Hill Proprietary from 61/9 to 63/3.

In the afternoon, the market was again firmer, B.H.P. touching 66/-, Electrolytic Zinc ordinary 51/-; Broken Hill South 27/-; North Broken Hill 46/3 and Mount Lyell 27/6.

By midday Thursday further de­cided advances had been registered in all these stocks, except B.H.P., which were a little easier. Electrolytic Zinc

touchetl 54/-, Broken Hill South 28/-, and Mt. Lyell to 31/3.

THE NEW YORK MARKET FOR INDUSTRIALS ON SEP­TEMBER 5 (THERE WAS A

MR. FORSTER WOODS, Chairman of the Melbourne Stock

Exchange.

HOLIDAY IN NEW YORK ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4) SHOWED A STRONG ADVANCE, THE DOW JONES AVERAGE OF THIRTY INDUSTRIALS RISING 10 POINTS TO 148.12, WITH A TURNOVER OF NEARLY 6,000,000 SHARES.

Between the end of August and Sep­tember 5, with only three days' trad­ing, American industrials rose by nearly 14 points, or more than 10 per cent.

The rise in prices and the huge in­crease in turnover would appear to be

due in part to the investment of Euro­pean funds in America, and in part to expectations of rising commodity prices and increased industrial activity in and export from the United States.

WHAT OF AUSTRALIA?

WITH the experience of the last war behind them, investors are

in a much better position to estimate the effects of war on Australian in­dustry and commerce.

Apart from the possibility of an attack on this country, which now appears to be extremely re­mote, Australia's role will be large­ly the provision of supplies for Great Britain. Those industries directly concerned-and those in­directly concerned-may expect a period of intense activity.

The effects of war have been seen already in a marked rise in the prices of wheat and other primary products may be expected to increase in value in world markets.

Shares connected with the produc­tion and distribution of primary pro­ducts should continue to be sound hold­ing. This applies particularly to pas­toral and base metal shares.

For the rest, there may eventually be some restriction or control of profits and dividends and there are certain to be re-adjustments due to difficulties of importation or restriction on imports, but there is no reason to believe that industrial companies generally will not be permitted to make reasonable profits and pay reasonable dividends.

In fact, it will be all important to the Government and to the community generally that indus­trial activity should be maintained and encouraged. It must not be forgotten that profits of indus­try, in the hands of both com­panies and shareholders, provide a large proportion of Government income.

The rise in the price of gold to £8/8/­sterling an ounce represents a rise of about 25/- an ounce Australian, even on the enhanced price of recent months. The increase alone represents 1/3 per dwt.

In the case of a company crushing only 6 dwt. stone, the increased price represents a gain of 7/6 a ton of ore treated.

Taking it by and large, there appears to be little reason for any general realisation of industrial or mining shares in Australia. On the contrary, many industrial and min­ing shares should be sound buying at present levels.
