/. Will Ford be the next
President of the United States?
1 do not know much about
Ford because he has never built
a pleasure car. He was the
first man to build transporta-
ton for the other fellow All
the other early manufacturers
built cars which they liked to
ride in themselves.
2. When will the saturation
point in motor cars be reached?
When everyone has one and
none ever wears out, and they
stop growing boys.
3. Will the motor car indus
try be cornered by any large
corporation?
You cannot corner brains,
style or hard work. The Stan
dard Oil Company will confirm
that statement.
4. If three million automo.
biles are built next year how
can we find room for them on
the streets?
BY following the example of
London and Paris, eliminating
surface street cars, substituting
flexible bus units, establishing
parking areas outside the con-
gested district, introducing one
way streets and riding in two
passenger taxi cabs.
5. What Is the determining
factor in the survival of com.
panies in the automobile indus
try?
Quality of service built into
the motor car which enables
the dealers to sell the second
hand car at a profit.
6. What will be the next big
development in motor car con-
struction?
The general adoption of the

ical motor car by the leading
manufacturers, because economy
is the basis of everything.
z. How many automobiles will

AT least three million. because
Ford is getting set for $500
day. The rest of the industry
will build at least one million,
or half of what Ford produces.
8. What is the greatest thing
that ever has happened in the
motor car industry?
The reduction of the Ford

congeSted areas out into the
country where they can have
garden and plenty of fresh
air.
3. What will be the mechan-i
cal specifications of the leading
motor cars five years from now?
No one will care ANYTHING
about that. If you doubt that
let anyone in the class tell me
the present mechanical speci-
fIcations of the Ford, the Dodge
the Buick, the Packard, or the
Cadillac. Only old fashioned
statesmen will be able to answer
those questions.
10. What will be the capacity
OF the majority of motor cars
eventually?
The average number of pas
sengers carried in all cars is
now IL. A man stationed on
all the principal corners of the
country counting passengers
carried in tens of thousands of
automobiles, discovered that the
greatest seven passenger car in
the world is the Ford, and the
greatest two passenger Is the
Pierce-Arrow.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associat ted Press
PARIS, July 27.-Recent attacks on
the league of nations have moved
Leon Bourgeois to write a letter in
defense to LIE Temps.
The main charges, he writes, are
that the leagues expenses are excessive
and that the league is superstate.
He explains that the finances of the
that the seCretariat cannot exercise
any action in determining expenses.
He points out that the salaries were
not nxed by the league itself, but by
the peace conference
The general secretary, whose SAL
airy was fixed by the peace confer
ence at 10000, with residence, has
voluntarily surrendered his house and
reduced his salary to f7,50O. while his
assistant has reduced his own salary
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Taking up a criticism that the gem
eral secretariat has forgotten its ma
tonal character and lost itself in low
grade 1nternationaliSm, NJ Bourgeois
says the joint work has had the eff
feet of making each man the keener
Tor his own country. If each member
OF the council and assembly fulfills
his duty, declares NJ Bourgeois. IL
will be impossible for the secreta ria
to go beyond its real sphere of action.
He denies the charge that the
league seeks to play the role of a
superState. Such thing is material
ly impossible under the system of or
ganfzation. he says, because 1t has no
right of initiative and unanimity is
necessary for any decision.
