American Automobile
Business in France Is
Threatened by Duties

Paris, Dec. 30.-fP,-The American
embassy is expected to make repre-
sentations to the foreign office short
~ against proposed increased duties
OH automobiles and parts which pro-
badly 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 I'D valorem to q
weight basis and it Is known that
preparations are being made for IN.
other bill radically raising the duty
on complete cars by the same meth
cd.
The American embassy is preparing
data in an effort to show 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 Inn
porters of parts.
The new bill applies to all coun-
tries but American automobile people
interpret 1t as being aimed solely At
them.
