Americans Advise British To
Modernize Methods If They
Hope To Sell Products In U. S.
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK. (.T) The British dollar crisis could be solved
if we would buy a lot more British goods. Then why don't we?
The simple fact is: You can't make an American buy a British
product if he doesn't want to.
Very few persons buy a product in the spirit of doing good, or to
use the International Jargon "helping to free world trade of its
shackles." They buy because: They like the product, like the price,
or need it and can't get It anywhere else.
There are things which could
be done about these points by
the top British officials on their
way here now to discuss their
lack of dollars. And there are
things which could be done by
the Washington officials who will
confer with them.
Taking the last reason first,
there are some products which
the British effectively control for
which there is a good market
here: natural rubber, tin, cocoa,
fine wool, and Scotch whiskey.
The British would like to see our
tariffs lowered on these, and all
other of their products saleable
here. Neither the American wool
industry, nor the domestic liquor
industry, nor any other Ameri
can manufacturer who makes
foods in competition with the
iritish, is likely to champion the
British idea.
As for tin, rubber, cocoa and
wool, the British would like to
have Washington committed to
buy fixed quantities at fixed
prices for several years. Ameri
can consumers and taxpayers
might be dubious about shackl
ing themsleves to such a deal.
Americans Give Advice
Americans have been very vo
cal in recent months in their opin
ion of British products and
firices. From highest official to
owliest backseat driver, they
have told Britain what it shoulJ
ao.
First, it should learn more
about American likes and dis
likes, distributing, advertising

and selling methods, fust how
the resulting competition in our
domestic market would set with
American businessmen has gen
erally been ignored.
Second. British prices miut
come down. Many Americans
contend that British machinery
is out of date and factory meth
ods hide -bound and Inefficient.
They think the output per man
hour is much too low in England.
They contend that the British na
tionalization program is wasteful
and uneconomic. And the three
combine to make British prices
too high.
And some Americans contend
that the British must cheapen
their money in terms of ours.
This would make British goods
lower priced for us to buy with
our dollars. However, it would
also make Just that much higher
the price Britons must pay for
American goods they must buy.
And, since in July they bought
four times as much from the
United States as they sold here,
the British contend they could
only lose in the deal.
Many Americans reply that
sooner or later the British must
Improve their methods, lower
their production costs and meet
changing world trade conditions.
These things no matter how
much we help them financially
from time to time are things,
many say, which the British must
do for themselves.
