$4,000 Cars a Year.

A factory such as has been indicated
would have to turn out at least 25,00O
cars year. which means that a mar
ket for at least 10000 cars a year would
have to be found outside OF the British
Isles. AS the proposed preferential tar
if would not affect the sale of American
cars outside of Great Britain and Ireland,
the American manufacturers are not
alarmed over the situation. Following

TERM IT YANKEE PERIL

Symptoms of panic which have marked
the British automobile industry, due to
the invasion of the British market by low
priced American automobiles, have SUBJ
sided to a certain extent after a view of
the situation from the standpoint of
sober second thought. According to the
cabled news from London, nothing fur
ther has developed as regards the forma
ton of a $25,OOO,O 900 corporation to make
cars to sci at from $1,OOO to 81, 80 in
competition with the American lines of
somewhat similar price. The idea, ac
cording to the distinguished speakers. in
Guiding the Duke of Westminster and
Lord Montagu. was that while the COM
pany probably could not equal the Ameri-
can cars of the same c!ass on an even
price footing, the government might
be prevailed upon to impose a perferen-
tial tariff against the Anne rican automo-
biles to cover the difference in price be-
tween the new British lines and the reg
ular product of the American factories.
Aside from the fact that the working
Of protective tariff tends to raise
wages and occasionally manufacturing
costs, which must be covered by the SELL
ing price, thus still further emphasiZ ng
the difference between the British and
American cars, it is pointed out that the
secret of American success in the Inc OF
small cars lies in economic quantity pro-
duction. using the most advanced types
of machinery regardless of cost. Lead ing
members of the automobile fraternity
emphasize the fact that British produc-
ton is only about 1900 cars year, and
that if such factory as has been out
lined is to be operated at a profit, the
local market must be vastly stimulated
and the company must stand ready to
compete in the markets of the world for

Preceding the show in this city will be
the thirteenth annual auto exhibit at

In order to make the New Grand Cen
