u. S. FIRMS ABROAD
FACING BIG LOSSES
American Concerns Find
Mass Production Unprofit-
able at Present.
BY Gable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, April 28-Many American
concerns that reckon on cheaper manu-
featuring through branch factories es-
tablished in Europe are now finding
the continental market insufficient to
warrant the expected mass production,
and many of the expatriate plants are
now either partially closed or operating
at loss. Sooner or later 1t is fore
seen, these plants must be modified
to correspond with the real market re-
quirements
Among the sufferers from this mis-
calculation is the biggest American car
producer in England, who. with other
American firms, will be obliged to write
of his investments.
Citroen Cites Difficulties.
Andre Citroen, progressive French
automobile maker, has written an open
letter relating his experiences in try
ing to establish the production of pcpu-
lar priced automobiles in England. His
observations bear pointedly on the situ-
alton Of the American branch plants
in Europe. He writes:
AT a time when the British press
is actively supporting a movement to
urge foreigners to establish branch
help expressing surprise at the con-
trast between the expressions of hos
pitality and the actual attitude toward
concerns trying to produce in Great
Britain. During 1925 1 set up the
largest automobile plant in Great Brit
ain under one roof at the Slough
estate and established in Piccadilly the
finest motor car show room perhaps
in the world at the highest rental
During eight years I spent more
than S27,000,000. Nevertheless my
products are being ostracized by means
of public campaign tantamount to
boycott. which drives away new and
old customers.
Drives Industries Away.
II ask the British public to con-
slider this situation in the light of
fair play and good business. The re-
suit of the campaign to buy British
will be to drive away foreign indus
trialistS contemplating establishing
plants in Great Britain"
American concerns which tried to es-
tablish branch plants in France, Ger
many and other European countries are
having the same experience as citroen
had in Great Britain. The fact is
Americans cannot manufacture cheaper
in Europe generally because Of smaller
markets. Assembling is profitable, but
various restrictions such as prohibitive
duties. quotas and contingents on i'm
ports and social legislation make manu-
featuring, combined with assembling ex-
tremely hazardous.
Several American firms are trying
to get around the French quota re-
strictions by producing and assembling
in France, but the uncertainty regard
ing future quotas on parts and mate
rials causes hesitation.

Forgets Defendants Name.
At one point Darrow forgot the name
of one of the defendants. He turned
to Kelley and asked what it was,
Don't you know?" Kelley asked.
Yes but it has popped my mind,
said the aged Chicago criminal lawyer.
It's Lord" Kelley supplied.
"Lord-that's right" said Darrow,
turning back to the jury.
In concluding, Darrow proclaimed his
kindliness toward all races and directed
a special remark to the three Chlnese
on the jury. He said he never had
known the Eastern races, but they have
their place in the sun"
With breyity and fire Kelley whirled
into his argument.

said IF you are going to decide TINS

Kelley asserted Massie had taken his

Doubts Massie's Story.
Kelley hinted disbelief in MasSie's
admission that he held the pistol which
killed Kahahawai, and said:
He couldn't hide behind the skirts
of his mother-in-law, nor behind the
two sailors who helped him, the
best you can say for him Is that he
lied like a gentleman"
Kelley asserted all Hawaii was on

the investigations and Federal action
that followed the outbreak of public

The jury is composed Of five Ameri-

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-So dense was the crowd in the Biltmore ho- tel where Governor Roosevelt had a private suite of rooms that he was unable to walk 40 feet down the corridor to the broadcast room.
 The President-elect intended to deliver broadcast as soon as he was assured of the presidency. A huge crowd in the corridor pre- vented him from making any pro- gre.ss. He took step forward and a step backward and finally was compelled to return to his room. The brOadcaster tried to follow the Governor, but the cord attached to the nncrophone would not allow him to do so. Governor Roosevelt feared for a time he would not be able to return to his room, but if nally made it.
