TO Forferd Crisis
Seeks 10 Show Workers Peril
OF Adverse Balance of
Trade; America Can Help
by Using British Goods

LONDON. Aug. q >lCorrcspon-
dence OF The Associated Press. Con-
fronted by what is described as per-
maps the greatest industrial and trade
crisis in the history Of the country.
the commercial leaders of Great Brit
ain are bending every effort TO speed
up production, says the American
Chamber of Commerce in London. One
movement undertaken to head Off the
difficulties forcseer is an effort to in
duce the workers to increase produc-
ton by showing them the "dangerously
critical position" in which Great Brit
an now placed by the balance of trade
against her.
Fer July, the adverse balance Of
trade amounted to about $3.50. 900 600.
according 20 figures gwen out by the
American Chamber. Imports for that
month increased about $15O,O0O GOO,
while exports increased only about
SO 500 600
Danger Over United States
The American Chamber points out
that this discloses a serious situation
and says that. while it may seem very
we'll for Great Britain to buy from
America much more than she sells to
America. that is "fool's PARADISE" for
Americans. The Chamber explains
mat an excessive balance against
Great Britain would force down ster-
ing exchange III New York and com
pei Great Britain to buy elsewhere,
where exchange is higher.

Question kindly tell me if you
would consider the stock of Happ
Motor Car Company the present ma
ket price good purchase for holding .
w. r. L.
Answer-Fcr Che year ending June
50 1919. the iiupp Motor Car Company
earned 81 cents a share on its s.. 1872
lNo corlm"n stock, against $l43 IN
1913. This reduced amount may have
been due to increased axes. The COM
panv is s'id TO have set its output for
1919 at 1900 cars. During the first
half of 1919 it manufactured ard ship
ped 9.f29 cars, or 2,Oc0 more than in
the same period last year. While no
dividends are paid on the common
stock, the price of ITO per cent of par
value would reflect good prospects for
one.
