AUTOMOTIVE EXPORTS
SHOW FLUCTUATIONS
Europe Level Highest, With
0ceania Behind South Ameri-
can Orders.

The fact that automotive exports thus
far this year have been running at
levels considerably lower than for the
corresponding period of 1929 has been
evident for some time. according to b.
II. Cram, president of Grams Auto
motive Reports, Inc.
A comparison of the number of motor
vehicles shipped from the United States
to foreign markets during the first six
months of 1890 with the same period of
a year ago offers a measure of this rel
alive decrease. total of l61 958 pas
senger cars and trucks were exported
from this country during the first half
of 1880. or just slightly more than so
per cent Of the 322 1892 motor vehicles
exported in the first half of 1929. This
drop, however, was not spread evenly
among the various countries comprising
the different continents In one case in
particular the 1880 automotive ship
ments were less than 30 per cent of a
year ago whereas in another case the
$50 figures were nearly 66 per cent OF
the 1929 exports
1t is rather interesting that, despite
the unrest in business and political con-
ditions throughout Europe, automotive
exports thus far this year to the coun
tries comprising that continent compare
more favorably with the previous year
than do the shipments TO any Of the
other continents. A total of SO 500 cars
and trucks were exported to European
countries In the first half of 1890, or
$50 per cent of the corresponding &c.
$40 cars and trucks shipped to those
countries during the corresponding Pc
riod of 1929 Automotive unit exports
to the countries comprising South
America and Oceania showed the most
severe decrease. South American eX-
ports were only 800 per cent OF the
previous year, while exports 90 Oceania,
comprised chiefly of Australia and New
Zealand were the lowest OF all, the 1880
figures being 1913 per cent OF year ago.

has just made its debut to the country
Sponsored and published by the
American Automobile Association, the
new national travel publication is of
particular interest TO the city of Wash

Deals with Travel.
In the national field Holiday, which
deals with travel and recreation IN all
its aspects Misunderstanding float"
succeeds the American MotoriSt The
new magazine is on a strictly sub
scription basis, while the American
Motorist was always on a membership
basis and was confined largely to motor
travel, in contrast with the wider field
of Holiday, which, incidentally, CORE
spends with the larger field occupied
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton today as a travel agency
After combing the magazine talent

and publisher of Holiday and execu-
tive vice president of the A. A. A,
got together an entirely new staff flor
the editorial, business and circulation
departments of the magazine.

Pleasing News.
A little more pleasing news
comes along from the motor in
dustry.
National prosperity can be in
creased during the next six
months, not by the arbitrary
Slashing of commodity prices, but
through the immediate building
of high-quality products to fit a
reduced public purse, in the opin-
ion of C. W. Nash, president in
the automotive world.
The industrial leader, whose
consistent advocation of higher
automobile values at moderate
costs has brought his manufac-
turing organization remarkable
success through three decades
and himself world recognition as
one of the SoundeSt of American
producers, went back to pre-
ock-inflation values today in
the business situation,
following a careful study of the
market.
There is but one certain meth
cd of overcoming the unemploy-
ment problem, the loss of conf
dence which has affected practic-
ally every section of the country
and the general business depression
which we all must acknowledge, "
he said. 1T doesn't lie in high
theories, political prom
iSeS or anything of that sort. The
one thing to do is to begin build
ing things that people in this
country need at a cost which
maximum of the old,
easy going overhead and brings
out the highest possible value at
the lowest possible selling cost.
Such manufacturing policy
serves to keep American-made
products at the high standards
we have all learned to demand.
1t is the one way to increase the
value of the dollar TO the point
where buyers will re-enter the
market in volume; the one way
to put labor back to work and to
refill the national dinner pail.
"Our days of speculation are
over, and well over in my opinion
But, with a plentiful supply of
money in banks in all sections of
the country and with crops and
national resources in fair condi-
ton, there is no reason why we
cannot produce a high level of
prosperity, this time on solid
and sound foundation of honest
values rather than speculative
values"
Trade reports from the auto
motive-acceSSory jobbing field in
all sections of the
country are more optimistic and
dealers are beginning to place
orders, according to
w. S. sherwood, sales manager in
the automotive equipment field

w YHAT constitutes courtesy
VA and what is the defini-
w ton of back talk?

~ ana WnaJ Is the Q6Ilnl-
Wv ton of back talk?
These definitions are
needed in the motoring world OF
today, especially in Washington
following the recent edicts of two
of the city's officials. A Police
Court judges opinion probably
will be more needed than refer
ence to any dictionary.
Rule of Courtesy.
Commissioner Crosby has laid
1t down as a cardinal rule of the
Police Department that its mem
bers must be courteous at all
times. In this all thinking resi-
dents Of the National Capital will
agree.
Corporation Counsel Bride has
made it known that members of
the police force shall not allow
themselves to be given back talk
or abuse. Now, that sounds all
right at first, but just what does
1t mean? Most every one be-
lieves that a policeman should be
treated with civility and consid-
Grafton. Profanity, of course, is
tabooed.
But does the actual denying of
the charges of arrest or the max
ing of excuses for a traffic viola
ton constitute back talk or abuse?
If so, a bad time for drivers may
be expected.
A motoriSt may legitimately
q =. Il 1of
of speed 1t frequently happens,
as some officers are wont to gauge
the motorists fast driving by the
pace it takes them to catch up.
Is polite argument back talk
and abuse?
What Is Abuse?
A motorist may have been
parked overtime. But he may say
to the policeman that the other
fellow did not get ticket, and
he was there longer. 1t isn't
good argument, but it is often
made. Is that contrary to Mr..
Brides plan of things? Is criti-
cism of policeman abuse? Some
policemen will think so and others
will not. Too much appears to be
left to the temperament of the
officer.
The golden rule should apply in
all these cases, but, unfortunately.
every ones conception of that
teaching does not coincide.
just what recourse a motoriSt
may have is very doubtful A po-
liceman's testimony stands very
strong in court. 1t is easy for
magistrate to believe that the de-
PENDANT got a little too much
worked up over his arrest. A con-
viction follows, and after that
what chance has the motoriSt got
If he brings the policeman before
the trial board? The action of
the court is thrown out as irrele-
want, but its opinion has made an
impression.
After all, was the statement of
the corporation counsel neces-
sary?
Days go on, and the final report
of the subcommittee on traffic,
appointed by the Commissioners,
nears completion. 1t might be of
interest to again print the mem
bership of these nine subcommit-
tees. According to Director of
Traffic w. H. Harland, they are as
follows:

That average automobile carburetor

pointed out by Rudolph Jose, veteran
local motor car dealer.
This is an excellent time for the
owner to run his car into the MAIN
tenance department for the purpose of
having the carburetor setting checked >"
Mr. Jose says
For one thing, it is probably that
most owners haven't had this important
unit looked at since last Spring For
another. changing weather conditions
will necesstate resetting of the
adjustment If the car is to function

Roosevelt Makes Bow to People

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt has broken a two-year
official silence concerning the prohibition question to
announce himself for repeal of the 18th amendment
and substitution Of Q federal statute granting each
state the right to control the sale Of intoxicants. In
his statement the governor was positive in saying
that there must be some definite assurance that by
no possibility at any time or in any place "the old
saloon can come back"
This is his slogan: The time has come to stop talk
ing and to seek action"
AS for the republicans they are split wide open IN
many northern states. The congressional leader IN
the state OF Washington was defeated by a republican
wet and in the state Of Michigan two veteran dry
leaders were knocked out Of the running as well as
turned out Of congress by two very vociferous wet re-
publicans OF the same party faith.
Rep. Louis c. Champion Of Michigan, known as the
dean Of tbs house dry leaders, was defeated by q ram
pant wet republican in a very close vote Indeed IN
a total Of 1000 the wet republican emerged with a
majority OF $50. Really the game Of politics Is grow
ing very interesting in the upper country and many
old war horses are being turned loose in the big pas
ture to hunt their own forage.
