American Competitions.
Among these are the automobile
men who, have protested vigorously
against American machines coming
into England with duty of 33 1-3
per cent. British manufacturers ad-
nit they cannot produce cars in any
thing like the amount needed within
many months so the Board of Trade
so far has turned deaf ear to their
protestations. In the meantime Ameri-
can cars are increasing in number on
London's streets and one American
firm advertises delivery within forty
eight hours after order taken.''
Duty, the difference in exchange
and freight charges, raises the price
of an American car in London to
about double. the price in the United
States but that is not deterring the
Englishmen from swapping them up
as rapidly us they arrive.
