I'm mass production, and all the
manifold advantages that flow from it,
the American industry occupies a sin
gularly favorable position because of
our enormous American mass consump-
tion. Our vast and wholly unrestricted
domestic market high purchasing
power and consequent tremendous
sales within the boundaries of our own
country nave made possible the
achievements of the automotive indus
try in quantity production, drastic
economy and low price. 1t is therefore
able to compete most effectively IN
world markets. European makers who
desire to go in for production
methods are greatly handicapped by
the relative smallness of their own ma
tional markets. which in most cases are
not large enough to justify production
on anything like the scale that pre-
walls in the United States.
Realization of the superior American
position has inpelled European COM
petitors to try number of experiments
none of them thus far successful and
some of them economically unSound.
One of these devices have mentioned,
namely, the limiting of American auto
mobile imports to q specified number or
quota each year. This is trade bar
rier of kind that 81 nations have Just
agreed to abolish.
Last Spring attempts we're made to
halt the swift advance of American mo-
tor cars in world markets by the forma-
ton of a European cartel or combine
and by mergers of companies in jan
uary and December. But the plans ap-
parently have proven tmpracticable.
Trucks Popular Abroad.
"And so the American car continues
merely in the preliminary stages. An
automotive official, returning to this
country recently, predicted that foreign
countries will absorb within few years
at least a million American cars year,
as compared with 385 900 in 1927, valued
at more than $400 100000.
American trucks are very popular
abroad because they're capable of tao
king any job, no matter how hazardous
or apparently insurmountable. For in
stance, when it became necessary re-
Gently in Australia to move 16-ton
engine, American trucks we're drafted.
The haul was 225 miles over mere bush
tracks in the back country. The boiler

Not only was the journey completed
without rnishap of any kind, but it
was made practically all the way in
high gear, and the truck carrying the
boiler had already done 10000 miles.
"The motor car is a great civilizer-
one of the greatest-arld its indispen-
sable adjunct and support is the good
road. Meandering mule trails have no
relation to Straight eights.' One factor
worth considering is the inverse ratio
of roads to revolutions in countries that
are inclined to be politically disturbed.
Peace, order and security follow in the
wake of good motor roads, which make
it impossible for turbulent factionists to
raise ructions' in inaccessible regions

the owner of a commercial vehicle-a
truck or bus-is taxed not by the kind
or characteristics of the vehicle itself
but (for some inexplicable reason)
according to the number of beds in his
house! (Looks as though somebody
started out to think up even more bur-
dens for already overloaded heads of
large famllies!) But it's the hotel
keepers who are hardest hit: If Mr.
Ritz runs one of his establishments in
this particular town it must be pretty
expensive for him to operate a motor

Tax IS Per Horsepower.
"In some cases the peculiar foreign
methods of taxing motor cars operate
tn the disadvantage of the American
nroduct in certain ways or places, and
possibly to its advantage in others. For
example. Great Britain imposes a tax
of nearly S5 per annum per horse
power on all passenger cars. On this
basis a 20-horsepower car in Great
Britain costs nearly S100 per year in
taxation alone-a rather staggering
amount! To offset this high horse
power tax. British manufacturers have
evolved many makes of light cars OF
from Z to IL horsepower. That's
enough for their good. level roads.
However, the tax is prohibitive for
many of our more powerful small cars.
"But in foreign and colonial markets
a very different tale is told. There
the British tax does not prevail, and
the rugged terrain-in South Africa or
Australia, for example - demands
higher powered cars than the British
factories ('tax handicappedD are
equipped to turn out. Most OF these
orders go to American producers-arld
the British industry thus loses valuable
outuets for much needed volume sales

production methods have differed radi-
cally from ours. AS in so many of their
industries. individual design and spe-

condition naturally did not permit of

Citroen, the French auto king, who is
the largest builder In Europe, to take
the fullest advantage Of the possibili-
ties of production. Citroen Wis
tied America in 1923 and took back
with him an engineer from Michigan.
More than 100 of his employees have
been sent to the United States to study
American methods. AS a result, the
Citroen factory now turns out some
400 cars daily--a European record,
though it's not quite up to the triumphs
achieved by some of our plants.

on Future Developments.

With the present beginnings Of the
Fall and early Winter declines IN au-
tomobile sales and production, public
interest. as we'll as the interest Of the
industry Itself, is following its custom
ary change of concentration on the
intense competitive and merchandising
campaigns which have been in ex-
istence for some time, and Is being
focused on the conditions that may be
reasonably expected after the first Of
the year, according to B. H. Cram,
president of Grams Automotive Re-
ports, Inc.
At the present time the automobile
industry is characterized by an effort to
move present stocks Of cars from fac
tories onto dealers floors and from
dealers floors to the public. Stocks of
materials are practically used up as far
as current models are concerned, and
many plants are now going through the
process of tooling up for the new mod
els which may be expected at the time
of the New York Automobile Show in
early January.
Generally speaking, the industry is in
an excellent position to get away to a
flying start after the first of the year.
Manufacturers report that materials in
ventories are low, and because there is
still an excellent seasonal demand for
motor cars, inventories are being cleaned
up rapidly. In fact, many models are
already out of production and dealerS
are unable In some cases to fill current
orders. Dealers stocks are low and In
the best condition that they have been

duly high, considering the record sales

three months. Altogether, dealers and
manufacturers are in an optimistic

Choice of Mule or Motor.

According to the custom of the coun-
try, a foreign diplomat being received
at the court of ETHIOPIA was conducted
into the royal presence on a gorgeously
caparisoned mule. But custom has
been changed and now the trip may be
made by motor If this is preferred. Mr..
Southard, our representative to that
country, had his choice when he paid
the royal call a month or two ago and
he promptly chose the automobile
which was quite handsome equipage
with the royal arms painted thereon.
The various compounds through which
the audience hall was approached were
packed with troops, some thousands in

conservative chiefs were present with

are as often found in commonerS as
in kings.
A love story is the basis of the
plot and serves to temper the barbs
of irony, but tender passion is never
permitted to stand in the way of a
good laugh.
In fact, the author exercises con-
siderable care to keep the passion
from becoming too tender. Now and
then he teeters dangerously on the
edge of sentiment, but he unfail-
ingly saves himself in the nick of
time by exploding a witticism and
dancing off mockingly in a way that
would be exasperating if it were not
so amusing.

His only relief from the tedium of
existence comes when the queen
leaves for a visit in America, good
exciting revolution breaks, and his
daughter falls in love with his Sec
rotary, a youth of common birth.
The realistic manner in which the
author has drawn his characters is
attested by the fact that one can
hardly read the play without at
tempting to identify them with con-
temporary figures on the stage of
European politics.
Such efforts, however, will be at
temptS only. That is the tantalizing
thing about it. Positive identifica-
ton can not be made, because all
the portraits are composites. Never
theless, audiences at the Playhouse

The beautiful queen with the
dominating personality and the gift

new POLITICAL
PARTY seen AS
VOTEOUTCOME
British Observers Predict
ConServative-Labo Type
of Lineup.
BY CLIFFORD DAY
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 8.-Many observ-
ers Of inter national political affairs
today believed the crushing defeat
of Governor Alfred E. Smith for the
presidency of the United States
forecast new line of political
cleavage in the United States.
The new lineup, some observers
believe, will be not dissilnilar from
the conservative and labor parties
in Great Britain.
The Laborite Daily Herald, Of
course, is the strongest adherent to
the latter idea, and said this was
the inevitable consequence, what
with the disappearance of the fun
damental differences between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Means Step to Socialism
what with the collapse Of the
sham party differences in the
United States" the Daily Herald
said editorially, "The real economic
and social issues will assert them
selves. This will be a step towards
the ultimate Socialist government
in the United States. DoubterS of
this production must be reminded
that twenty years ago they would
have jeered the thought that
Great Britain ever would have a
labor government"
All of the morning newspapers
today stressed Herbert Hoover's
election with the most laudatory
comment concerning his ability.
The conservative Daily Mail said:
Hoover is safe and cautious, also
thinker and writer as well as a
great administrator"
All Praise Hoover
The independent Daily Express
said:
Hoover will bring to the White
House a f1rst-hand acquaintance
with Europe and its problems
equalled by no previous President. :"
The liberal Daily News said:
Hoover is a man Of outstanding
ability and hard, clear vision. His
election is an occasion of critical
Importance"
The conservative Morning Post:
Hoover is able and energetic and
possesses the moral flavor of the
full dinner pail"
The conservative Daily Telegraph
said:
Hoover undoubtedly is COM
petent."
Berlin, Brussels and Paris news
papers were unanimous in praising
the new President-elect of the
United States.
