The article extols accelerating use of automobiles across farming and industry, arguing 6 million vehicles already serve one quarter of Americans, replacing horses and vastly boosting land use efficiency, farm income, urban education, and production. It claims autos save time, creating an implied national gain of millions of man hours daily and likens auto driven progress to rapid cantonment construction.

It stresses the need for faster industry logistics, coal supply, and enhanced transport to support war efforts, noting cars travel vast miles daily compared with railroads.
Automobiles as Essential Industry in War Time
David Jamieson, president of the American Automobile Association, argues against curtailing passenger car production during wartime. He says the industry is vital to national life, with utility for owners and broader war needs. He calls for equitable burdens, preservation of plants and workers, and moderate transport solutions like motor trucks to meet logistics.
