/: Lopdop.rA correspondent who is

ian with reference to the new reg
ulation prohibiting the Importation
either Of motor cars or spare parts.
The regulation affects in practice
only American cars and repair parts.
Practically no new cars are to be
bought at the present time except
American cars. and as the standard
lied self-starting American cars arc
the simplest for an amateur to work
doctor or commercial traveller who
wants a car naturally prefers in these
times to buy an American machine. 1t
seems remarkable that not even = lin

There are thousands of American
cars in use in this country by doctors
and professional men. commercial trav.
elers, military officers and others with
a good reason for having car. Ap-
parently, under the new regulation. as
soon as these cars need repair they
will have to be laid up, since spare
parts cannot be imported. and 1t 10
quite impossible to get spare parts
