GREAT MOTOR SHOW
 HELD IN ENGLAND
No Country Able to Supply the Tremendous Demand
 for Motor Cars

London. December 1-(Reciprocal News Service )-Three hundred thousand people | who thronged the great Olympia Motor show this week found it the largest exS hibition of it's kind ever he'd and gave evidence of the tremendous worldwide demand for motor cars which no coun- try seems able to satisfy.
 America and France, well as Eng land, were largely represented among the Exhibitors and visitors; and the pro ducts ranged with cars built in England to compete with American small cars to single chassis, selling at Sl0,O00. . The enormous crowds which packed the great London shop place may be looked upon as prophetic of what may be ex- pected in the way of attendance at the American motor shows this year.
 England and France are determined to rival America in what Brtishers call mass production. therefore the show gave evidence of a strong tendency toward cars of tighter weight and lower price,
 In the past England and France have built heavier and more expensive cars to meet the demands of the wealthier classes. Now, since the war has ex- tended the buying power of other classes the makers are striving to equal the American manufacturers in new quality production methods
 Both English and American makers are agreed that cooperation between Anglo-American manufacturers is essen tial if Germany is to be successfully met in the markets of the world.
 Frgland is determined to produce cars in quantity for the world market while American manufacturers at the Olympia Motor show came to London to learn the most modern English methods or workmanship and design.
 At the Olympia show there were SIX buyers for every car which can possibly be produced for a year to come, ana the English factories are not yet pro ducing their new models in any auan- tity.
 Those who can deliver at all are pro- dueing models designed before the war and revised in some details for this ex- hibition, principally by the addition oi electro lighting and staring. Ihose Who are showing so-called 1920 models do not promise delivery before June of the com ing year.
 The leading British makers are re- financing their companies, enlarelhg 'heI, plants and sending men to America to learn mass production methods, all in an ticination of a friendly contest with America in the markets of the world
 The effect of the Olympia shown upon tba American manufacturer will quite likely manifest itself in the appearance of cars in which greater attention ID given to details of quality in chasss oe- son and body finish. Likewise, the American maker will discover what the British maker is rapidly learning, that the day of great bulk and weight III motor cars is passing, and the day or the lightweight, handy, economical car of good ouafit. rather than low prlSe' iS here.
