There were 27.650.000 automobiles In
use throughout the world January i,
1927. and 22.i37.000 or about 80 per
cent. were American. according to
.eport of the Department of Commerce.
The census reveals the commanding
position which the American automo-
bile industry holds in the world market,
Commenting upon this report, the
Index, New York bankers publica-
ton. says that those who are concerned
for the future OF the American indus
try should remember that this export
trade is only at the beginning OF It's
development. The Index further states:
For 1928 the output OF American au-
tomotiye manufactures has been esti-
mated at 5000. 900. This is an increase
Of 20 per cent over last years produc-
ton. when conditions were generally
recognized as being unsettled. The
estimate does not seem too high when
one recalls that there are more than
10000, 900 motor cars in this country,
and that more. than so per cent OF one
years output is needed for replace
ments.
Foreign Market Unknown.
The unknown quantity in this esti-
mate is the foreign market. The 'ex-
port OF automobiles ranks third in the
value OF this countrys total exports.
Complete figures for 1927 are not yet
available, but for the first IL months
OF the year the export OF cars and
trucks numbered 800, $50 units. with a
value OF s258 900 600 This represents
an increase OF % per cent over the
number in the same period In 1926.
With more settled conditions In 1928
II can reasonably be expected that still
larger gains are TO be made in the ex-
porting field.

ports To total American production Is

Taken as a whole. Mr.. Flynn's pro-

standpoint OF truck and bus operators
and manufacturers. MIR. Gourlie con-

erations. and the very value Of truck
service lies mainly in their fiexibillty,
which would be destroyed by regulation.
