Automobile. for War.

from a consular Report.
Responding to an American inquiry,
Consul General Thackara of Berlin,
says of the subsidies granted by the
German government for motor trucks
for army service:
Subsidies are granted by the Ger
man government TO owners of indus
trial automobile vans, provided the
vans and motors are constructed ac-
cording to the specifications of the war
department and the owner enters into
a contract with the military authori-
ties to place the trucks at the govern
lnent's disposal whenever the army is
modified, and to keep the trucks all
ways in such a condition during pc
Rod of five years that they can be util-
lied for military purposes The cars
are tested by military experts to as
certain II they fulfil the requirements
of the speciflcatio and are subject to
inspection by army officials at any
time. Sales of subsidized trucks dur
ing the five-year period can only be
made In Germany, and then only on
the condition that the buyer binds
himself to carry out the terms of the
unexpired contract. Sales of the sub
sidized trucks to residents of foreign
countries are not permissible. The
subsidies granted are 1000 marks ($952)
for each motor VAN and trailer and
an annual payment of LOCO marks
(S23S) for five years.
