by the various European nations nobody
can tell. Enough Is known, however.
to predict that with the return of
peace the Italian motor industry will
be found to be stronger and more
highly developed than that Of Ger
many.
There 10 no doubt that England
and France will be in a position to
offer keen competition to the Amer
lean automobile industry, despite the
advantage this latter has had in being
able to cultivate foreign markets dur
ing the last three years. 1t does not
appear to have been realized that
Italy too, will be an important factor
not only on account of the quality OF
it's product. but by reason of its guam
tity production. AS high-class pro-
duct italian cars always have found
an opening in the United States. and
in this limited field have surpassed
both England and France. Now, how
ever. Italy Is able to add quantity to
quality. and because of this Mr.. WHY'S
has made a mistake in limiting Amer
ica's after-the-war competitors to
England. France and Germany.

ITALY Y|SF|RST
IN AUTO MAKING
Fiat Press Bureau Says 1t
Leads in Furnishing
Cars to Allies.

According to the Fiat press bureau
Industrial developments have been so
rapid during the last three or four
years that 1t is difficult even for those
closely connected with the industry to
countries of Europe.
An example of this is to be found in
the address on Foreign Automobile
Trade and the War" delivered by John
N. WHY'S president Of the WHY'S
Overland Company. and director of the
national foreign trade convention. In
this address Mr.. Willys emphasizes
the importance of the role played by
the American automobile industry dur
ing the war.
Whatever the secret views of indi-
garding the invasion of the European
field BY American motor vehicles. and
particularly by motor lorries. all with
the allied cause at heart have appreci-
ated the industrial help received from
the United States both before and
since that nation became an active
participant in the war.
italian Record Greater.
But Mr.. willys appears to have
spoken without full knowledge of the
facts when he claims as a record for
the United States the delivery of
45,308 motor trucks to the allied forces
during the first three years of the
war. There is no doubt that Italy sur
passed this figure during the first
three years she was in the war-that
is. during 1915-16-17.
During this period the Fiat com
pany alone delivered more than 10000
motor trucks to the allied forces. in
GLIDING many for the American Army
in France. While Fiat is the largest
motor concern in Italy, there are at
least eight other factories of consider
able Importance, which have between
them delivered many more than 5000
odd vehicles. necessary TO beat the
American claim.
The detailed figures for all the
Italian factories are difficult, il not
impossible. to obtain. 1t can safely be
not less than $4,000 motor trucks to
the allied armies. as against 45.30S
claimed fer the United States
In his review of the after-the-war
situation. Mr.. Willys forsees strong
competition for America from Eng
| land, France and Germany. Either he
has overlooked or is unaware of the
fact that under war conditions Italy
has become the second most important
motor exporting nation in the world;
that she possesses in the Fiat the big
gest motor factory in Europe, and
that the city of Turin alone gives en-
ployment to 10000 persons directly
connected with the motor industry.
That there will be keen competition
after the war everybody is convinced.

tension of alcohol, although the ad-
vocates of 1t as domestic fuel have
been laying stress on the possibilities
of turning the potato supply to great
er use and thus reducing the national
dependence on imported motor spirits.
The most promising experimenting
in the search for a gasoline substitute
he's been along the lines of adapting
Illuminating gas to motor uses. For
more than a year automobile firms in
several British cities have been
evolving types Of containers for coal
gas, which could be filled from the
maintained and would replace the gas
oline for motive power
The topic has been discussed at
meetings of technical societies and
some interesting papers have been
read on. it. A committee has been
formed on gas traction and ingen-
ious inventors have been applying
themselves to discovering the proper
form of receptacle for storing it on
autom obiles. For the present the
motive underlying the effort is to OBJ
tain a temporary wartime substi
tute for gasoline, but one govern

ing that the use of coal gas in mo-
tors was not a mere war expedient
but marked a development "of last

The chief objection to the flexible

unsightly appearance. Leakage. too.
seems by the most recent reports to
be material factor. It may after one

the actual gas consumption. The con-
tainer itself appears to be rather
short-lived as well, the normal work

about eight months.
Sufficient encouragement Is felt
from the present experiments. how

will investigate the subject in asking
to haYe inquiries carried on by ex-
perts IN connection with portable gas
