As matter of record. Wilkin-

was justified.

Talk Over Prices

Word from Washington now is
that the 100000 figure. which
even Leon Henderson okayed for
the first three months produc-
ton. will be substantially
lower. This statement has the
approval of the 0PM as well
as the OPACS. which seem TO
be getting closer together since
the first blowoff on curtailment.
II was also learned yesterday
that the manufacturers have
been in conference with Hender-
son on prices of the 1912 models.
They seek an early decision on
how much they can boost their
figures as some expect TO have
their new cars ready for sale
by the middle of August
II is reported that Henderson
has been showing a reasonable"
attitude on the price question
but refuses 10 commit himself
until he has all the cost data
compiled
The manufacturers insist they
have a good basis for seeking
more money for their 1912 out
put. First. materials have risen.
Second. labor has been given
substantial T e a @ s. Ana
finally with production curtailed
and overhead increased. each
unit will cost more.

Cuts Output

Canada has announced a cut
in passenger car production TO
IA per cent OF the 1910 figure.
A further curtailment IS also
promised If changing conditions
warrant. IL was said.
The manufacturers have also
agreed 10 limit the number Of
models in 1912 from 147 10 70.
Which recalls an interesting hut
highly fanciful suggestion for
American auto makers.
II was proposed 10 limit each
company TO manufacture OF one
car and only one in an unlimited
quantity. For example, General
Motors would agree to make
only Chevrolets; Chrysler would
pick PlymouthS or Dodges to
concentrate on: Ford would spe-
cialize in MercuryS. etc. The
theory was that this would re-
lease the rest Of the factories
and machine tools 10 defense,
would automatically limit the
market and provide its own cur
tailment.
But il was merely a theory
and none could see il work in
practice.

lationShips i'm the United States

rectly influenced by the Dun e.

reasonable enough when il is re-
called that over 90 per cent OF all
manufacturing NJ wholesaling

Iq4I Model Year
Ends Officially;
New Prices Discussed
BY SILER FREEMAN

The 1871 model year ends
officially tod ay There are
some plants which have not yet
shut down for the changeover 10
1912 models but most have done
so already.
1t has been a spectacular year
for sales. and nearly every
known record has fallen before
the onslaught OF eager buyers.
The official figures have not yet
been given out by the factories
but the total will be well over
the 100000 mark.
The 194l figures should make
every manufactures and dealer
rejoice. But the shadow Of
things TO come. the uncertainty
of the future and the under
ground feuds in Washington
that have emphasized this un-
certainty. rule out all rejoicing
and celebrating.
