MOTOR TRUCKS SOLVING WAR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS. (By George M. Graham, Assistant Com mercial Manager, Pierce-Arrow Mo tor Car Co., Chairman, National Motor Truck Committee, National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.) Virtually every motor truck now be ing produced by manufacturers is dis charging a helpful service in connec tion with the winning of the war. This applies equally to military trucks des tined for shipment to France and to trucks sold for service into the do mestic market. Recently, in connec tion with an application to the War Industries Board for the granting of priority orders to be used in the building of motor trucks, a question naire was sent out to manufacturers to discover what percentage of their trucks went into service related to war activities. It was found that no less than 85 per cent of trucks manufac tured and sold in this country have WE WANT NO COMPROMISE What?—Compromise now?—^When the poisoned sword Still seeks for blood and spoil? We will answer the blar-eyed battle lords— Halt now?—When the foot of the heathen horde Yet stands on freemen’soil? Have We lost thg zeal of that fighting note Which marked our heroes’ might?

The range is all-embracing. Trucks are now being applied in an almost in finite variety of ways to help the rap id transportation of staples used in connection with the war programme. P’or example, a great firm gets a con tract for a very large supply of some War staples, possibly guns. It is nec essary to build a new plant. The site selected may not bo contiguous to a railroad center. In order to get rap id transportation, a fleet of motor trucks is purchased. ■ Haulage that is diverted to the mo tor truck as a war necessity will not return to other mediums after the war. They carry in the raw materials from which the product will he manufac tured, and, finally, they take to the point of delivery the finished ma terials. Within the next two years, under the present exceptional conditions, the motor truck will make advances that would not have been possible in ten years of normal times. It has established ittself as a transportation necessity.
