MOTOR CAR CALLED
 BASIS OF PROSPERITY

Smith lists as these as chief beneficiaries of improved roads and motor car transportation:
 The individual who benefits per- sonally through reduced time and effort in travel and in added pleasure.
 The owner of outlying property. who is brought closer to business centers. is no longer limited to walking distance or car lines, and the products of whose land are brought nearer to the market.
 The merchant, whose influence is extended and whose sales arc increased and broadened due t0 new needs and tastes and to the greater number of possible pur- chasers reached.

terials, such as foodstuffs, tim Der and oil. In fact imports, with the exception of furs, have actually increased, and observers say these imports will continue to come to Engl4hd no matter what diplomatic relations may be.
 While AngloRussian trade has been declining, the United States, Germany and Japan have been ex. tending their trade relations with Russia. British economists be. lieve that the increase in the United States-Russian trade may lead even to a resumption of dip lomatic relations between Russia and America.
 Germany has made the most de. termined effort to trade in the Russian market. German pro. ducts led all others in extent and variety at the Moscow exhibi- tion. The German government has guaranteed a credit of 300,- 100000 marks for Russian pur' chases.

 He finds that increased produc- tion and higher living standards, invariably reflecting greater pur- chasing power of the people, are noticeable throughout the world when and as modern transporta- tion facilities are developed. and in most cases are traceable to motor transportation and good roads.
