AMERICAN CARS SEIZED
BY FOREIGN POWERS

DETROIT. MICH, August S.-Several
local motor car manufacturers received
advice by cablegram from European
countries Informing them that govern.
mcnt oHcials have taken possession of
the stocks OF cars at the branches
and representatives of these manufac-
turers. One OF the first. messages to
that effect was received by the Packard
Motor Car Company. from Its Paris
branch manager The governments
VIII pay for the cars after the war
but will Ak the price which they think
ought TO be considered acceptable
General Manager Alvan Macauley, of
the Packard Company, In commenting
about the situation said: I'VE ordered
our Paris branch closed. as all our en-
ployes who are French have gone TO
their regiments and as there could not
be any business conducted under any
circumstances.
II believe this gives the American
motor car manufacturers an exception
ness in Australasia. South America
and other foreign countries outside Of
the war zone. For a long time the
European motor car builders will not
he in a position TO do any foreign
business at all. and very large
percentage of the cars in those for
eign countries are of German and
french construction. it should make i.
possible for the American makers to
get big part OF that business"
Several local concerns are reported
10 have been approached by foreign
governments to supply them with
trucks and other vehicles to he used
for army purposes. None would CON
hrm the report. but one stated thai

accept the OFFER as in the first place
1t would constitute a breach Of neu-
trality by the United States if the gov
erEment allowed material for war pur-
poses 10 ne shipped out OF the country.
and. secondly. because the trucks could
not be shipped. as no shipping COM
pany would take the risks.
Inquiries for a large number of
trucks Tor Immediate delivery In Eu-
rope have been received by the Fed
erat Motor Truck Company, which has
asked the United States government
for advice as to whether the trucks
could be shipped under the declaration
of neutrality.
