BRITISH v. AMERICAN CARS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I have read with great Interest the correspondence respecting English and American.cars. I have an English car, and I find it much stronger and easier on petrol and oil than the American car, while the repair bill is not-so high, and the car operates better on muddy hills and roads. The English and the colonial-made farm machinery beats the American-made machinery any day for strength and wear, and for making a good job. England is the New Zealand farmers’ best customer. America buy® practically none of our produce, and what wool. America does buy is subject to the duty of 17d per lb, winch she puts on it.. We want the markets and should patronise America only when she patronises us. We should buy English and colonial goods, farm machinery, because it is better and stronger, because by doing so we would help to' reduce unemployment in England and New Zealand, and also help to pay this £IOO,OOO per day which the Mother Country has to pay to America.—l am, etc..
