American Motor Exports.

From time to time it is necessary to examine the American export figures, and to learn from them the progress made by our rivals of the States in the international market. Their determination to be first in motor cars is well known, and it will require much attention to prevent their becoming the masters of our markets. On the other hand, there should be no difficulty in retaining our hold in motor cars, ng WP Vio-fTQ /Jrvnrt in nvnloc artA n+linw rvr\r\A n U.O ny "u>Vi <-iuuv iii \jj u.J.i*a O Liiijl g O O &S , always on condition + l-,r*4- we do « rt i relax \ji.l iiixav wc uu HOt IciaX our efforts. The most impressive argument is always based on figures, as it bases itself on facts which can be substantiated, and which are not a part of the journalistic imagination. We, therefore, give a few of the latest figures, which show not only the general progress realised by the

U.S.A. motor car manufacturers, but also indicate the countries where their efforts

have been crowned with success. ' The last

seven months for which figures are officially available are from July of last year to the end of January of the present year.
