AMERICAN PUSH, THAT'S ALL.

The American Society of Automobile
Engineers, making a tour of Europe,
have left for France after spending
several weeks inspecting the methods
and plants OF English motor makers.
The delegates were the guests in
London OF the Institute OF Automobile
Engineers. The Americans arrived just
In time for the opening of the motor
show at Olympia and they We're given
splendid opportunity of comparing
the various English and foreign cars
As a result of the visit and the show
the talk OF the invasion of American
automobiles continues. only few
American cars were on exhibition at
Olympia, but these attracted much at
tention. English motor car builders
learned with amazement that one
American factory this year will turn
out almost as many. cars as viii be
made I'm the whole OF England This
tremendous production. which Is typi-
cal of American push, coupled with
the standardizing OF the American cars
is causing genuine concern among Brit
ish dealers, who must make radical
changes in their methods If they hope
IN stem the tide OF invasion. They
must make cheaper car and must
turn out their present cars fully
equipped. With few exceptions the
English makers supply only the chassis
and engine and the bewildered buyer
must choose body, tires and all the
other accessories which make up the
complete car.
