FORD INTERESTS
PROSPECTING IN AUSTEALIA.
(DNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.)
(AOSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) OTTAWA, 12th June.
A telegram from Windsor says the Australian Press Association has been informed on excellent authority that the Ford interest has not abandoned its original plans to establish a, plant in Australia, and while the manufacture of cars will probably not be undertaken in Australia for some time to come,- attention will be concentrated upon the assemblage of Ford parts and the possible facilitation of body building. This would avoid the high AustraJsan duties, and give the Ford interests a desirable concentration point from which to ship cars to India and the Far East most economically. It is understood that Mr. H. C. French, the travelling representative of the Canadian Ford Company, after making a tour of •Australia to determine the economic conditions, reported to his principals that he believed that Australian labour conditions were not favourable at the present time to engage in an extensive manufacturing undertaking, which, however may be launched in the future.- '
