CHARGES "DUMPING"
OF OBSOLETE MODELS
Complaint Of Latin Americans
Against U. S. Radio Set Manu-
factures Under Investigation.

Secretary Of Commerce Hoover has
not been advised of Latin-American
complaint Of the dumping Of obsolete
models of radio receiving sets by
United States manufacturers, it was
stated at the Department of Com
merce 1t is understood, however.
that official trade advisers are
taking the matter up with manu-
facturers and some action is being
obtained, especially as they are able
to point out that Latin Americans
are keenly active in radio develop
rnent and are demanding better sets.
1t is understood that English sets
are not now competing but that Ger
man models are rapidly approximate
ing American types and threaten the
growing market in Latin America
Americans are said to be changing
their tactics and unloading their old
models in the United States in sec
tions where delicate adjustment Is not
essential.
Complaints from Cuba, Argentina
and Mexico, especially, are that two
tube sets are being sold as standard
American equipment, while Peru is
getting preferred treatment on ac-
count Of the regulations Of the Mar
conf company there. This English
operating the posts nd telegraphs
of Peru, has divided the radio equip
ment market equally between the
United States and England and de-
mands that most modern sets be fur
nished their customers.
The American quota is reported
as being oversold and efforts are now
being made to give opportunity to
sell more modern equipment in Peru.
This example is being cited to Amer
lean manufacturers as a policy which
is bearing fruit and which would be
equally profitable in all parts of
Latin America.
