round tha , National Cental ' ' masmBt CARTER FILLS sbs Washington. Ia Paris a new Ford ledan costs, delivered,' Just ' about fVHXV. Or about $1,000 more : than It does In most American clt 1 ies. : Or about two and one-half times the American price. . . ' Which Is of the essence , when It comes to the problem of remov ing International trade barriers, as that problem Is now being attacked, . - ..l,lnl jITWaiu.,. , and with much animosity between the advocates of the two plans, by Secretary of State Cordell Hull end Foreign Trade Adviser td the President, George N, Peek. . The amazing point about this ,- price for Fords In Paris is that the French duty on automobiles : has nothing to do. with HI The Ford ear 8 sold in Paris are. not made in the United States, bnt In Stras bourg. Nor Is the main element of the astonishing "difference In cost due to high duties on the parts. It is almost exclusively due to the difference in cost of manufacture. This difference In manufacturing costs results from the fact that the factory at Strasbourg, while as mod' em as Ford engineers can make It, does not have the quantity produc tion element which makes most of the popular small cars so cheap In America. That one element, the writer Is Informed, accounts for about $000 of the $1,000 difference in price here and In Paris. - . Wages are an Inconsequential phase, or would be. If mass pro duction could be utilized in Stras bourg. It Is perfectly true that the labor cost of constructing a car In France Is much higher than It is In America, but the workers are paid less than those In Dearborn. The difference Is comparable to that of a man plowing with a trac tor and one plowing with one horse. The man with the horse may be Just as good a farmer, but he takes many times as long to plow an acre. The same point applies to the dif ference between turning out twenty cars and turning out a thousand or two thousand a day. Dealers' Profits Even If there were no tariff or far more important no quota In France against Importation of American automobiles, of course, they could not be sold as cheaply In France as they are In the United States. The chief additional cost would be In dealers' profits. French dealers could -not expect to sell as , many, and therefore would have to make more on each car than deal ers In American cities. The element of freight would be very small. As evidenced by the fact that $100 Is Just about the top price for hauling a car from any American Atlantic port to any Eu ropean Dort. Thin Is thn nriro charged by the deluxe Italian liners from New York to Naples. It is much less on slower boats to the North sea ports. ; Actually, adding about $20 for freight would be liberal. The point of the whole case Is that If International trade barriers could be removed, the people of the various countries of the world could enjoy a much higher standard of living than Is at present the case. Tet fear on every hand Is that In stead of tending toward lowering these barriers the whole trend In the world is for raising them. As for example, the sharp lim itation of Imports of American au tomobiles, machinery, and other items, by Italy and Poland. Just last month! ' German visitors to Washington In the last few weeks have talked gloomily about the prospects of each nation becoming self-contained. "It means black bread for.' onr people," one of them said, "bnt we can do It. What makes ns de spondent is that It seems SO un necessary." t Teeth Extracted A back-stair compromise has been reached on the public utility hold ing company bill, which has so mod ified Its original drastic provisions that In all probability the White Bouse Will apply pressure In order to "put the teeth back In." Pre ent , prospects are that this effort, which is expected from President Boosevelt and the New Dealers, will fall. There Is no discounting . tha flnwY nf n,nina4. .,, . fuiTOLp iiuui vuiltj stockholders which has poured in on Individual senators and members of the ' house. It has turned the tide, not to the point where the imuuuni legislators would , openly defy the White House, but to a ' Status where they are not willing to jump, through the hoops at the executive command. " One of the Important phases of , the new compromise Is that It will exempt from Its provision all hold ing companies whose Interests' are confined to operating companies In side one state. This does not sound Important, but it lets a lot of rath er big fish through the net. . - Another modification is even more Important. It exempts from the provisions "of the proposed law holding companies 'whose opera tions are chiefly In one state, bnt extends for short distances beyond its borders. - This would affect such Important holdings as Consolidated Cus of New York, Public Service i , and People's flea oi nut t , Still r compromise provi sion wc j exempt holding com panies t . , re interested exclusive ly In ov Ing companies outside me unii :j states. Such as Ameri can and f oreign Power. : So that first and last a considerable number f big holding companies, with iar more Important politically a considerable army of stockholders win be let out Which of course pacifies their stockholders, thus re ducing , the amount of . opposition that the final form of the hill- might bring down on the devoted beads of senators and members of the house who vote Its final passage, "May" and "Shall" " In the under-cover negotiations which led to this compromise some of the gentlemen Interested In sav ing as many utility, holding com panies as possible nearly lost their battle after they thought they had It won. The first draft of text that emerged stated these exemptions In language ' which used the word "may." That Is, It gave the secur ities commission the right to ex empt these companies If In Its dis cretion It saw fit to do so. One of those most concerned hit; the cell ing when he read that "may." Ho got very busy, Indeed, and the draft now reads . "shall." Meaning that such companies "shall" be exempt ed Instead of "may" he exempted. Still another modification does leave discretion with the securities commission. This is to extend from five years to seven years the length of time In which companies still re tained under the death 'sentence may be allowed In which to wind tip their affairs and liquidate. "';, ': Which In a way Is the most In terestlng of all the changes. 'For the argument used to give this ad ditional discretion would not be ap preciated at the White House at all. It was that enough leeway should be provided In the holding company act to permit a reversal of policy by the administration "following the Roosevelt second term 1" ' , And the fact that the argument got somewhere that. It las : been accepted by some; very Important senators and members of the house would seem to Indicate that some perfectly good Democrats . are , no longer taking all the proposed brain trust legislation as having been di vinely Inspired. More Taxes Certain .... ' '"V. : .; .'P'- More taxes are certain, despite all the propaganda by the administra tion one way, and by the bonus ad vocates the other,' The taxes would be needed -even If there were .no bonus legislation at. alL But there is going to be bonus legislation. Arguments by bonus lobbyists that to override the veto means the sol diers will get nothing are just so much drivel. If the bonus veto Is sustained In the senate, as Is now generally expected, some bonus measure will be passed later, which President Roosevelt can and will sign. This will probably be something not very far from the Harrison com promise, though the President has always hoped that the eventual cost to the treasury could be held to $1,- 200,000,000 which the Harrison plan exceeds by at least $100,000,000. Every one agrees that the pres ent so-called nuisance taxes, whjch expire In June; mnst be continued. The only one allowed to drop was that, of 2 cents on each check, which expired last January.- - , , Probability Is that the most cer tain of all proposed new taxes to be adopted before adjournment of the : present session of 'congress. Is an Increase in the Inheritance taxes. These fit in with the New Deal philosophy, t It must be remem bered that the Roosevelt ideal con templates a nation of little fellows no outstanding giants, v Every man with enough to buy an automo bile.. But none with enough to buy a yacht unless It's a sailboat x: r This is revealed In the Intense desire to bold down profits to hold' down bigness to protect: the; little fellow against , the big. Which Is true despite the frequent allegation that NRA was In the Interest of the big fellows, and against the lit tle man.' Fly hi Ointment ' ' .Another' phase of New Deat pol icy right down this same alley was the securities act and; the stock exchange regulation , bill The Idea was not only to bold profits on or dinary business down to a low per-' centage, but to prevent speculative profits of any kind. - 'C - ' Analyzed critically. It la easy to see that this would-tend to prevent anyone not now rich from becoming so. But there was one' fly, In the ointment ;, Strict supervision of now security Issues, and curtailment of speculation,! all: tended in the direction of preserving existing for tunes. . ' i They coold snipe at them, with heavy taxation, particularly on in comes, and on the corporation from which the Income was derived. But a fortune Invested, in government bonds, for ; example,: would be Im pervious to both, ' . .. Hence the popularity with New Dealers of Inheritance taxes. , Cyn ics comment that most' of the New Dealers are young, and not worried about death duties. But the unde niable fact la that the New Deafen d6 want to do something ' about some of the very, large fortunes now Ut existence. "V Copyright wfO Snrlc. ' - i )heto Oi.
