EMBASSY AGAINST AUTOMOBILE DUTY
Proposed Increase in French
 Rates Called Pr0hibitiYe

Paris, Dec. 50 LPl-Thc American embassy is expected to make repre- sentationS 10 the foreign office short ly against proposed increased duties on automobiles and parts which probably will curtail all of the American automobile business in France.
 The government itself introduced the bill raising the duties on parts by changing from an ad valorcm, to q weight basis and it is known preparations are being made for an- other bill radically raising the duty on complete cars by the same meth cd.
 Embassy Prepares Data
 The American embassy is prcpar- ing data in an effort to show that this would have an adverse effect by throwing out of work many of the 5000 French employed by American firms and by adding expense to many French importers of parts.
 The Ford company, it is believed, " otIi pt tlt pr lllCllldl sufferer m der the new duties, as it makes the bulk of American cars sold here. | ord is now the fourth largest pro- duccr in France. averaging l,5OD cars q month. The Ford company instituted the policy of making some of it's parts in France, but this af lects only about onc-ffth of it's parts and the new duties, which are ex- pectcd to be adopted within a few weeks, would increase the sales price here possibly one fifth, giving French competitors the margin they need to hold the Ford competition in check.
 Call Bill Rcadjustment
 The new bill applies 10 all coun TICS but American automobile pcn- olc interpret it as being aimed sole y at them.
 The French bill is called "rcad- ustment' of duties. giving rcduc Ions for minor parts which can be made m France but increasing the iutles on essential parts such as -Nles, translhissions, clutches and motors.
