AUTO men URGED
TOEXPORT PRODUCT
DR.. Pratt Advises Manufacture
ers to Seek Trade in For:
eign Fields.
PRESENTS FIVE REASONS

TT is remarkable that the statesmen
in charge of the great automobile IN
dustry have not realized more fully the
possibilities of developing an export
market for American cars declared
Or. Edward Ewing Pratt. chief of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, Department of Commerce, in an
address Friday morning before the au-
tomobile export managers of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce in New York.
There are some very good reasons
why automobile manufacturers should
be Interested in foreign trade DR..
Pratt urged. The first, and perhaps the
most important. reason is that the for
eign market in itself is a very large
market. In the last normal year before
the outbreak of the war France eX-
ported little over Sf5.0o0.o00 worth of
automobiles. Germany exported about
$4,000 900 worth of automobiles, Great
Britain about s15,OO0.ooO worth. and
Italy about s5.00o.O0O worth Of automo-
biles. In the same year, 1913, we ex-
ported $4,000, 900 worth.

A Gasoline SdUer

That saving of wear and friction means
tremendous economy. 1t apparently means
a double-lived motor. For the limits of en-
durance of Hudson Super-Six motor have
never yet been realized Its superlative
performances are important only in what
they show for endurance.
In the new Hudsons appears another
economy wonderful gasoline saver. 1t
is on the cars we show. Come and see that,
and the new Hudson luxury. The rest you
know.

A UNIQUE Condition

Never before has any one car held all the
worthwhile records. Never has one car
proved supreme in speed, in hill-climbing, in
flexibility and in endurance.
Never before has a major feature been
controlled by a single maker.
The Super-Six, by a single invention, in
creased motor efficiency 80 per cent. 1t
gave to Hudson a capacity beyond anything
ever known.
That is why the quality-car demand so
centers on the Hudson. Why Hudson out
sells any rival. And why the spring de-
mand, as last year, will far exceed supply.
The Super-Six invention minimized vibra-
tion In that way, friction and wear in the
motor are reduced almost to nil Thus it
saves most of the power which other types

MAY ASK ALLIES FOR WHEAT

that the Allies be asked to relinquish

There are no figures on the amount
of wheat bought here by the Allies fer
future delivery, but the amount is
perhaps larger than the total amount
of wheat now in reserve. Wheat
traders declare one cause for the re-

WOULD END RAIL STRIKES
BY Adjusting the Chief Factors of
Controversy the Labor Depart
ment Expects to Prevent
Walkouts on Roads.

Washington, May IO.-Creation OF
United States commission of indus
trial adjustment with sweeping pow
ers to fix wages and hours of labor
of employees in interstate transport
tation and designed to eliminate
strikes and lockouts is provided in a
bill presented to Congress today by
the Labor Department..
The commission. to be composed of
nine members appointed by the Pres
ident with consent of the Senate,
would have drastic powers to inter-
vene in labor wars and establish
equitable rights which would be main
.ained in force for three years.
No attempt would be made to de-
prive labor of its prerogative to cease
work individually or collectively at
any time or to prevent employers
from discharging their men individ-
ually or collectively.
By preventing the possibility of
wage increases or other laboring
after the commission shall
have established them, it is believed
all incentive to strike will be re-
moved
The commission would become op-
erative July I.
The proposals are substantially
similar to those urged by President
Wilson last February and to which
Congress at that time refused to
agree.

HOOVER THE FOOD DICTATOR
President Names the Belgian Relief
Head to the Job.

Washington, May "a food con
troll for the United States during thu
war, backed up with plenary powers
but relying mainly for success upor
the voluntary cooperation on the
part of the people, and especially the
normal peace time agencies of the
grain and foodstuffs trade, was out
lined by President Wilson tonight in
formally announcing the appointment
of Herbert Hoover of Belgian, relief
fame as commissioner of food for the
United States.
Mr.. Hoover, =. the President ex-
planned, took up the work only on
condition that, he would receive no
pay for his services and that he was
to name all entirely volunteer staff of
executives around him. In other
words, outside of the routine clerical
force practically every person in this
| agency. which in few weeks time
will become one of the most import
ant war arms of the government will
be volunteers, giving their services
to the government. just as Hoover
organized the efficient Belgian relief
commission.
The President in appealing for CO.
operation on the part of the people
and the agencies of trade with Mr..
Hoover points out that it furnishes
test for democracy to display its
efficiency without having to submit to
the introduction of anything resem-
bling Prussian autocracy into the
food control in this country. He EN-
phasizes that the food control is to
be for the war only and will not be
built up into permanent establish
ment.
While in general terms the Presi-
dents ideas on the food control have
been known through the various bills
pending before Congress he outlines
his conception of the powers which
he asks to be conferred upon himself
and executed by Mr.. Hoover as ex-
tending to distribution. consumption,
exports. imports, prices, purchase and
requisition of commodities and stor-
age. In other words. the Presidents
plan is that Hoover should have the
most drastic power ever granted an
but with the idea that it
will have to be exercised but little,
but rather the whole food control
problems should be worked out by
voluntary cooperation.
To the farmers lie points out that
the price fixing is a protection in
these words:
Authority is asked also to cstab-
sl prices-but not in order to limit
the profits of the farmers, but only
to guarantee to them. when neces-
sary, minimum price which will in
sure them profit where they are
asked to attempt new crops and to
