Auto Builders
Plan for l948
Few Alterations Expected by
Major Producers; Slow
With Models.

DETROIT.-How many of the ma
tons car makers will go full
length in engineering and styling
changes is a subject that now is
engaging the speculation of auto
trade circles. There is a growing
conviction that few of the larger vol
ume producers will have new mod
els out by the end of next January.
Some of the so-called 'independ-
ents" repeatedly will be ready to
switch over before the years end
but it may be well into the first
quarter of 1913 before all the new
models r in production.
The point has been made in some
circles that with new a demand of
overwhelming proportions there is
no particular reason why the manu-
facturers should bring out all their
newly developed engineering and
styling offerings in a hurry.
With output so far this year well
under original expectations, the
larger producers cannot afford the
extended shutdowns entailed in
drastic model changes.
Speaks of Changes.
To implement a major part of the
rumored engineering and styling
changes will mean assembly line
suspensions ranging up to three
weeks OF more.
Ford, with an extensive model
change-over program in prospect,
including its truck lines and its Lin
coin, Mercury and Ford cars in that
order, has given no definite dates
for the various changes.
Ford had said the new car will
be different from any heretofore
made. If this planning is carried
out it will involve a protracted as
sembly plant shutdown.
Some time after the first of the
year." has been IS far as any ex-
ecutive would 60 in answering ques-
lions regarding a date for the new
Ford. Many industry observers be-
lieve it may be next March before
the a goes into production.
Industry experts generally look
for major changes in General Motor
Odds, Cadillac and Pontiac
models "some time" early next
year.
Automatic Shifts.
Some of the automotive authori- =
ties + convinced the new Ford and
models will have automat-
g%earshifts and transmissions as
optional equipment. 1
If they do, it is fairly certain ]
Chrysler will do likewise with its !
model. I
An increasing preference for auto I
matte driving is reported by Hudson
ollowing a survey of 1916 and 1947 .
,ar orders. Hudson brought out in
.942 its 'drive master" automatic
which gives an option of
,hree driving methods, fully auto
matte, manual gear-shifting without
Use of the clutch or conventional

The assumption that most 1913
models may be delayed well beyond
lext January arises from the fact

work has been contracted for

It heats to a temperature of

pecially vehement. climaxed yester-
day by a period of silence throughout
the nation, quickly followed by
riotous demonstrations in Rome and
elsewhere. Ominously enough, the
Yugoslavs stigmatize the treaty as a
denial of their aspirations. Even
though signing, the Tito government
makes no bones in saying that it
regards the treaty as morally inde-
fensible and upholds its full claims,
to be attained at later time. Since
italy, under the treaty restrictions,
would be virtually defenseless against
Yugoslav attack, the fragility of
the present border settlement, in
cluding the designated Free City"
of Trieste, is all too obvious.
These treaties are preliminary to
that larger settlement of postwar
Europe, revolving around the pro-
jected treaties for Germany and
Austria, which the Council of For
eign Ministers is slated to tackle at
Moscow, just a month hence. It is
to be hoped that the German and
Austrian treaties will win a large
measure of assent and approval. The
remodeling of postwar Europe has
not gotten off to brilliant start.

matter of reciprocal trade agreements.
However, he recognizes that as q prac-
tical matter the Republicans would get
nowhere with legislation to amend or
repeal the act now.
Mr.. Taft also has differed strongly
with Chairman Knutson Of the House
Ways and Means Committee over Rep.
Knutson's bill to reduce personal in
come taxes 20 per cent across the board,
for the year 1947. He would have no
reduction apply until July /. Mr. Knut-
son also has opposition from Republic
cans in the House against his plan.

the Senate and House labor committees,
it is already apparent there Is wide
divergence of opinion. Senator Ball Of
Minnesota, who has worked closely with
Senator Taft, chairman Of the labor
committee, finds measures he has pro-
posed attacked by other Republicans,
particularly his bill to outlaw the closed
shop.
The Republican legislative program is
still in the making. Differences in the
early stages do not necessarily mean
that the party cannot get together when
the field has been thoroughly covered
and congressional committees have
made their recommendation.

The Peace Treaties

Yesterday, promptly on the stroke
of II am. French time. there began
the signing of the treaties designed
to define the postwar status of Italy
and of the four former Axis "satel-
lites"-Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary
and Romania. All five defeated ma
tions are penalized in varying de-
grees for their participation in the
late war. All are subject to strin-
gent diminutions of their armaments
in order to preclude any revival of
their war-making potentials. All
are dissatisfied with the treatment
accorded them.
This dissatisfaction is not confined
to the defeated quintet. 1t is shared
by many of the victors, who feel they
have not got enough out of the
settlement. 1t is likewise shared by
many authoritative observers and
students of world affairs, who criti-
cize the treaties as in many respects
so unwise and so unSound that they
may not long stand up under the
pressure of coming events and may
even contribute notably to future
conflicts.
Interest naturally centerS on the
Italian treaty. Italy is certainly the
big loser. Under the treaty to which
it's representative, Count Sforza, re-
luctantly affixed his signature, Italy
renounces an extensive colonial en-
pire, the rich province of Venezia
Giulia, acquired from Austria-Hun-
gary after World War I, and certain
small yet significant districts along
the Franco italian border. 1t is like
wise saddled with heavy reparations
and indemnification for damages
incurred by United Nations ma
tionals in Italy itself. Finally, Italy
is severely restricted ineits capacity
not only for armed aggression but
even for elf-defense. The net re-
suit is that Italy, largely wrecked by
war fought. on her soil from Sicily
to the Po Valley, emerges as an i'm
poverished, third-rate power, with
scant capacity to repair its half
ruined econos,y and nourish its
population.
It should, of course, be understood
that none of these treaties was nego-
tiated. They were evolved almost
exclusively by the principal victors
and imposed upon the vanquished,
despite their loudly voiced obiec-
| tions. italian protests have been es-
