1.-THE future of Americas export
business depends upon Americas
willingness to buy in greater
quantities the things grown and
manufactured in other countries.
To be sure our own welfare is of
paramount Importance but there are
so many instances of where the
United States keeps out the prod
ucts Of other nations while ex-
pecting those nations to buy freely
from us.
This whole problem should be
approached automatically. to be
sure, but it should also be ap-
proach with frankness. We need
more frankness in American diplo-
macy.
Need Is World Wide
"The need for motor transporta.
ton is world wide. Every time an
automobile is purchased the manu-
facturer and the dealer profits. the
buyer profits and the country in
which the car is used benefits. If
motor transportation did not exer-
else such an influence for good it
would not have spread with such
rapidity from Detroit to Bagdad,
from Flint to Shanghai"

England, France, Germany,
Italy and Belgium have important
automotive industries of their own
and 1T is perfectly natural and
reasonable that steps should be
taken to protect those industries
by levying high import duties on
imported motor vehicles" said Mr..
Mooney. 1--WE would do the same
thing if the positions were reversed.
I'm some countries of Europe,
even in the important car. pro-
ducing countries, questions are
being asked whether protection for
domestic manufacturers can't be
carried to point where penalties
are actually imposed upon the man
who wants to buy an automobile.
Isn't it possible that elimination of
competition has it's disadvantages,
not to the manufacturers, but to
those who want to buy and operate
cars?
'tIt is entirely within reason to
assume that even the car manu-
facturers for England, France and
Germany could profit by little
more competition. What may
actually be obsolete methods Of
engineering and manufacturing may
be in use. And competition might
force the substitution Of more
modern methods.
Competition Not Wanted
"But The fact remains that there
is no disposition on the part of
those countries which have their
own automobile industries, to be
interfered with seriously by compe-
tition whether American or any
other nationality. Germany can be
used to illustrate the point.
I'm October. 1925, the import EN-.
barge on foreign motor cars was
removed. In its place a tariff duty
of $50 marks per 100 Kilograms Of
weight was imposed on all foreign
cars going into Germany. This
tariff was to be reduced automati-
cally every six months until in
July, 1928. the rate should stand at
IS marks per 100 Kilograms. The
purpose Of the legislation was to
give the German automobile indus
try breathing spell after which
it should be capable Of meeting for
eign competition.
1.-THE result was to exclude effect
ually foreign makes. Even when
the tariff fell to 200 marks per
kilogram the tax on the lower-priced
American cars totaled about so per
cent of the purchase price. Con-
sequently; a number OF American
manufacturers made arrangements
to establish assembly plants in Ger
many to effect savings in tariff
duty and in freight. However, the
Reichstag enacted a bill which
raised the tariff on automobile parts
to equal the levy on completed
vehicles, off-setting the advantages
of assembling.

that Germany. a great industrial
