INFLUX OF USED CARS

Europe VIII Have Surplus of Autos
to Export When the War Ends.
Are We to have an influx of second
hand automobiles after the war? War
orders have pulled the Hungarian au-
20 industry out of the hole, and the
automobile and aeroplane manufac-
Curers OF hungary have recently or
gained for the purpose of putting
the industry on a solid foundation,
through the medium of a Protective
Tariff, or any other means which may
be deemed advisable. One interesting
phase which they have discussed is
relative to the disposition of the large
number of cars that viii be left over
when peace is declared. This opens
up for consideration of the American
manufactures a rather interesting
speculation as to the effect on his in
dustry of q possible influx of used
cars.
Automobile requirements for war
purposes are far beyond anything de-
handed IN time of peace. The great
manufactures of France, Italy, Ger
many, work "a hours a day to keep up
the war supply and from August 1,
1914, to December 81, 1916, exports
% Europe from the United States to-
called 71,O38 cars, passenger and COM
nerc1al, while 1887 went to Can
ada, 1851 to Asia and other Ocean
&c (Which includes Russia IN Asia)
1928 to British Oceanic (which in
cludes Australia and New Zealand)
the total to these four groups affect
ed by the war being 116,779 out of a
Total expectation of all countries for
che two years and half of Isl, 631
or about II per cent. 1t is interest
ng to note that exports of automo-
piles to the countries affected by the
var bear almost exactly the same
proportion to total exports of all COM
nodities to the war affected countries
bear to the grand total of our exports
for the past two and one-half years.
OF course the life of an automobile
IN the vicinity of the field of war is
extremely short. The wear and tear
S tremendous, but that there will be
: large surplus of cars for disposal
elsewhere following peace is not to be
douoted- Moreover, they would doubt
ess all pass assessment under value
II $1,000 each, the class on which the
Democrats reduced the duty of 80
per cent With the war market cut
off and a few thousand of these sur
olus machines coming in under the
Democratic law, it would not be long
before the industry in this country
would be seriously depressed.
The hungarian association is also
contemplating increased import du-
les on autos, and the adoption of the
american method of quantity produc-
ion, a method which we have found
possible of late because of the inor-
dinate demand for cars as a result of
our war prosperity. Quantity pro
tuction means low unit cost, and its
continuance is dependent largely on
the control by our manufacturers of
the American market, and that means

Record Breaking Imports

In Washington dispatch of June
"a, to the New York Journal of Com
merce it is stated that imports for
May were valued at 1921, 100000
the greatest total for any one month
in the history of American commerce.
For the year ended with May, goods
to the value of $2,6OO,0OO, 900 were
imported into the United States
other record. Merchandise entered
free of duty in May, amounted to II
per cent. of the total. If the rate for
the month of May should continue for
the next following eleven months, our
total of imports would amount to So
372, 100000. This is a staggering
sum. 1t is practically double the
highest total of imports ever known
under Protective Tariff And II
per cent, or more than two-thirds.

such figures, does any sane man
doubt that we shall need a Protective
Tariff after the war is over?-Econo-

Imports Not Stoned by War

In spite Of war embargoes and war
risks in transportation, the Under
wood Free-T Trade Tariff continues to
let in q large volume of competitive
imports. We imported from the Meth
erlands for the nine months of the
current fiscal year, July 1, 1915, to
March 81, 1917, $27,OOO,OOO worth
of commodities, compared with S28,-
100000 worth during similar period

war restrictions being nearly offset
by our Free-Trade Tariff. We import
ed from Sweden during the same per
iod $19,00O,OO0 worth of commodi-
ties, compared with 100000 worth
during the similar period 1928,
under a Protective Tariff, and during
the 1916-17 period it was easier for
a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle than for vessel to get from
Sweden to the United States, but our
low Tariff provided the incentive, and
the goods found their way to our
market.-Ex.

A French Socialist on Spanish Policy

9Ar1-40AASAA ASOCA4ASSS Oh 0PaAlSA O1lCV
The change which has come over
French socialism since the outbreak
Of the war, was never better ilustrat-
ed than in the statements on Spanish
policy which were recently made by
M. Jean Sabin, the well-known
French Socialist. M. Sabin is deputy,
member of the Committee of Gus
toms, and has made special study of
economic questions. His views, there
fore, are deserving of every consid-
GRAFTON, but for many people, the
most instructive feature in M. Sabin's
statement viii be the fact that he
made it. Before the war, the French
Socialist was famed for the thorough
ness Of his socialism. If there was an
extreme in its teaching, it would be
sure to find a welcome in France,
second only after Italy. French So
clallsts, like Gustave Herve, were re-
volutionary trade unionists, open adj
vocates of "direct action" and Sc
cret advocates of sabotage They
were anti-militaristS and anti-patriot-
&c. and were wont to declare that pa
triotism in all it's forms, was merely
an invention of the governing classes.
1t was the editor of La Victorie, of
course, who led the way for the
French Socialists to a grand recon
Sideration of their position, and
whilst his opinions are still fluid, and
not few are inclined to think that
he has already gone too far in the OPP
posite direction, there can be little
doubt that the broad views of coop
Grafton and sound craftsmanship ex-
pressed by the new socialism, as he
enunciated it, are a great improve
ment on those expressed by the old.
So when NJ. Sabin is asked, at Madrid,
20 give his views on the delicate sub
Ject OF Spanish policy, to pass judg-
ment in fact, on SPANS attitude of
neutrality, he deals with the matter
as statesman, and not as a dema-
gogue. The resignation Of the Count
de ROmanones, because he could no
longer agree to this policy; the de-
ciaration, few days afterwards, of
the great Reformista leader, Senior
MeIquiades Alvarez, on the question
OF military invention on the side of
the Allies, these, on the one side, and
then, on the other, the vehement
speech of Senior Maura, urging that
Spain still remain neutral; and mid
way between them, leaning neither
to one side nor the other, Senior Gar
cia Prieto, whose resignation from
the premiership has taken place with
IN the last few days, are all factors
carefully reviewed and weighed. In
the end, M. Sabin is not afraid to
give his own conclusions, which are
that Spain would do well to remain
neutral, provided that her honor and

cured peace at home by referring in

We had already signed arbitration

The attitude of this country toward
Germany and the other nations at
war is evidenced by the Presidents
proclamation of neutrality and its re-
ception by the people. Questions
which arose between the entent allies
and the United States involved only
property rights and were covered by
arbitration treaties. Questions that
arose, between the Teutonic allies and
this country involved irreparable loss

make arbitration treaties were not
subject to compulsory arbitration.
