- at Inception.

The world continues today to be
merely at the inception Of growth in
its transportation that is almost beyond
imagination. We in America have
learned that progress follows its de-
Velopment to a degree far greater than
even its most optimistic pioneers ever
dared hope, according TO E. c. Morse,
president, ChrySler Export Corporation.
It is important that America should
continue TO assist in developing the
worlds transportation systems" he
said. 1--WE should also help other
countries, to market their products and
strengthen their economic position,
thereby. increasing their capacity for
buying American goods. The condition
OF the export trade of these foreign
countries is bound to exert an indirect
influence on American pocketbooks
We must show them that the secret
OF securing and holding business is by
producing the best goods at lowest cost.
10 is simply cold analysis of how to
deliver the best for the money.
Urges More Imports.
Being a leader in exports America
must also be a great importer We
must buy from others that they may
buy from us. A study of trade condi-
tons the world over reveals that peace
and happiness are based on economics
and not politics.
Many countries I have recently
visited continue to foster a wrong i'm
preston concerning America, as the
United States is generally called over
seas. They consider us imperialistic,
mad about money and machinery.
Nothing is further from the truth
Americans knoW that this country has
no designs on the territory or rights of
any other. The. United States desires
nothing from other parts of THE world
except the opportunitysto carry on COM
merce in peaceful way.
There is, also, much friendly feeling
toward America. The rest of the world
wants to enjoy what it calls our con-
VenienceS or luxuries, but which are
considered necessities here. This desire
may be met by more intensive develop
ment of trade in these various coun-
tries, permitting them to absorb more
and more goods from the rest of the
world and at lower prices. > IS
Old Opinions Disappear.
Nothing assists in furthering a
country'S economic position more than
adequate transportation. In some ma
tons the railroads are forcefully op-
posed to motor transport. not appreci-
ating that the motor vehicle acts as a
feeder to the railroads and is more ef-
ficient for most short haulS. Many
countries regard the motor car as being
mainly pleasure conveyance, rather
than a utility, but. this. opinion is. dis
appearing rapidly ass they learn the
time motor vehicles save in business
and shipping, not to mention their con-
venience and efficiencysr :. 49,
Just as extensive use of automobiles
has resulted In line road system fof
the United States, so also is the motor
car producing a demand for better
roads abroad. This a sign ,$ofi real
progress. The automobile brings the
different sections Of each country
closer together benefits their economic
position and unifies the whole world.
''Euman beings would rather ride
than walk. This is plainly visible
everywhere. They want better trans
portation for its own sake. AS they
learn that it actually improves their
well-being, as We in this country realize
1t does, they are demanding it and will
continue to demand it for the revolu-
tionary improvements which We know
DO accompany it'll 3 .tnxen- .~fy $50
