H tbo Assoclateel Press
Washington, Aug. !iS. Asking for an
amendment to the pence treaty so ns
to provide for racial equality, it dele
gation of negroes, speaking for the
National Kquil nights League, told the
Senate foreign relations committee to
da. thnt serious trouble might be ex
pected unless better treatment were nc
corded negroes in the I'nlted Stntes.
"The black man has given notice,"
said A Whalev, a New York negro,
"thnt what he has suffered in the past
will not be "iidured in the future. lie
mean'- business now. There can be no
compromise.
William Monroe Trotter, of lloston
secretary of the league, voicing a sim

the negro In America was reaching a
point where no one could be Rurc "thnt
our land will bo n land of pence,"
'Neither witness was questioned ns to
what he had In mind by these declara

mittee members, all of them Hepub

An nmendment to give the United

Packard Responsibility Insures Low
Truck Transportation Cost
The Packard Company Stands Squarely For Final Economy
That It Is to Your Advantage to Pay An Increased
Initial Charge of Half a Cent a Mile When It Decreases
Your Transportation Cost Two to Fire Cents a Mile
"OU often hear men say that the motor
truck so-and-so built in a certain year was
better than, his trucks built in other years.
No change in design perhaps, but there was a
let-down somewhere.
That is what comes of building a truck to meet
a price and not to deliver a definite service.
T
1?
r,
Among builders of motor trucks the temptation
during the months to come will be to offset in
creasing labor costs by paring down on materials.
There are two or three reasons why this is so,
peculiar to the motor truck business.
First the manufacturing practice of ttie greater
number of makers of trucks, really assemblers, of
buying their parts of other manufacturers, leaves
them no alternative other than to accept a higher
price or poorer parts.
Second the selling practice of allowing an ex
cessive used value on trucks they wish to replace,
thereby indirectly cutting their price, almost forces
'them to make up the difference by skimping
materials.
I
Skimping material may keep down initial invest
ment, but it raises transportation costs, increasingly
during the years the truck is in use.
As the Packard people see it, the Packard truck
built this year will still be giving service in 1930,
perhaps in 1935
Being sellers of transportation it is their business
to so build their truck that it will deliver efficient
and low cost transportation five or ten years
hence.
With this very definite task in mind there is
only one thing to do.
See to it that every quality that will insure low
cost transportation be kept in Packard trucks re
gardless of the necessary cost.
1? "8
Never before in the history of the motor truck
in this country was it so necessary to talk to
transportation experts as now, when it is get
ting to be more and more difficult to recognize
real value.
Talk tb men who know transportation and can
back their knowledge with indisputable facts.
