NASH MADE HIT
BY PRICE DROP
DEALERS VIEW

According to Manager Gravey, of
the Douglas agency for the Nasl
automobile, there was a popular in.
tereSt stirred in the Nash car by
the recent action of that company
in making substantial reductions in
the prices of the various models
Cravey thinks that the movement
was one of the best pieces Or business
strategy recently shown in the auto
mobile business. He says that con-
sidering the product sold, the cut by
the Nash company was the largest
yet made by the producing company
and he claims that the buying public
has not been slow to recognize that
fact. Speaking Of the outlook, Cravey
said:
Mash is off to a flying start for
the 1928 season." said Cravey. "All
indications at the automobile shows
held so far this year in various
sections and in the country wide
sales demand which came on the
heels of the recent Nash price re-
auctions, point to another record
breaking year. Each day, since the
new prices were announced, the
fuafy has had to be increased, orders
from dealers throughout the country
are mounting higher and higher and
Encouragement OF production pans
has been put into effect to take care
of the additional business. 1t is
pointed out that the company's
manufacturing facilities. enlarged

the next few months.

INTERVENTION IS

spectre which had been threatening

suddenly show its he ID in pienary
session. Intervention in A-'1eri-
can states was the ISSUE which came
to life after having lam dormant III
committee. Earlier tie Pan-Aneri-
can union convention, which had
prov1oked contention re sitting in the
resignation of DR.. Pueyrredon OF
Argentina, had been approved.
After the representatives OF sew
eral countries had cxpl essed them
selves in plenary session as opposed
tc intervention, DR.. GusLavo Guer-
icro, leader OF the Salvadorean dele
CATION and head OF .i1e committee
on public international law, sprang
his bombshell by requesting per-
r.+ssion to introduce a resolution
placing the conference on record as
unanimously and irrevocably opp osing
any intervention by one state INTO
the affairs OF another.
He said that while it was impossi-
bic to reach an agreement in sub
committee or committee. it appeared
to him that there existed nearly
Unanimous opinion supporting the
thesis of absolute non intervention.
President Bustamente, OF the co l..
gress, asked DR.. Guerrero to draw
I,.p a formal resolution embodying
this idea.
The earlier approval Of the Pan
American union convention aided
when the new chairman of the Ar
eantine delegation said that urdcr
