British Manufacturers Discuss
Plans for Competition.
GIANT MERGER PROPOSED

cated-Campaign Conducted

rBy cable to The TrIbune.l

London. Sept. 17.-British motor car
manufacturers met at the Ritz Hotel
this afternoon 10 consider The best
means of combating the American In
yasion 81 cheap automobiles. rhe sug-
gestion was made that the only way
To do SO effectively was 10 organize
from existing firms a new British COM
pany with capital Of S2.J0o,oO0 (cash
capital 81 SOC. 600 and build Ave thou
sand cars a y,ear OF better quality than
the American cars now being imported
and al an equally low price. The
establishment OF n protective tariff was
also among the remedies urged.
Among those present were Lord
Montagu Of Beaulicu. $. r. Edge. Sir
Charles Friswell, Charles Jarrett,
Frank Shorthand, William Let's, Sid
ncy Thornycroft. Sidney Straker and
Frank Lancaster.
one Of the speakers was Mr.. Edge.
who said
Behind it's tariff wall America has
,
than all the rest Of the world put to-
gother. II II had not been for the high
United states tariff England and
France would have captured the Amer
lean market long before the present
American companies could have been
established"
The meeting was held AT the invita-
ton OF Ralph u. Blumenfeld. editor Of
The Daily Express which Is pro-
noting the movement against Ameri-
can automobiles.
While a majority Of the manufactu-
rers expressed a confident belief that
the British firms had a firm grip on
the business in high class cars, they
admitted that they could not under
present conditions compete With the
United States in marketing cars selling
al 81, 900 and 81 go.
A letter sent by the Duke Of West
minister, read at the luncheon. disclosed
the fact that the Imperial Preference
League is raising fund Of 100000
to be used In preparing propaganda In
favor OF an imperial tariff and an inn
perial preference scheme which would
give some of the colonial market to
British manufacturers.
There was much talk Of gaining the
colonial market A difference OF opin-
ion prevailed regarding the quality OF
American low priced ears. Mr.. Edge
contended that the British stopped an
invasion of American bicycles and
shoes by producing better articles. but
that American cars were in "A different
class.
Lord Montagu of Beauieu and other
speakers combated the inference made
by one or two makers that American
cars were flimsy affairs. one manu-
facturer said that cheap American cars
initiated into automobiling many per-
sons who afterward bought high grade
English machines. Another manu-
facturer stated that the wages received
by American workmen were more than
twice the compensation paid 10 Eng
lish employees. while Italians were paid
about half as much.
