Famine Predicted
Present Shortage of 700,000 Cars in the United States Shown by Government
Figures
By GALLOWAY REES CO.
The entire world will not lie able to prodiii'u enough automobiles to sup
ply the demand this year. ' t $..54
On I)i!c. .'11, 1918, it was esiirnattd (bat there were only 5,5 15 finished ears
in the hands of automobile maniilai-lnn-i's. This represents only three days'
normal production three days' normal sales.
The market literally has been drained by ihe first, wave of the constantly
increasing tide of prosperity which -is now sweeping over the country. The
i-ituatLon, already acute in many cities, is bound to grow woi-se this spring.
Owing to the relatively small production the last two years there is a short
age of 700,000 automobiles in the Tinted States at the present time, according
to government figures.
In 1!)18, the total production ol' cars was 1,01 1,751 as against 1,7:17, 151 the
previous year. In !)!( the production was 1, l!C!,(!17. So last year's produc
tion wasthe smallest since 1!)I5.
Normally, the output increases at tl(c rate of 10 pec cent a year. Had this
rate prevailed last year the output Would have been two and three-quarters of
'a million cars, or more than double what it actually, was.
In 1915 and 1910 there were aluim increases of 50 and 80 per cent, re
spectively, but in 1917 the increase dri pped to. 17 per cent. So there is an ap
parent shortage at the present t hue of 700.(1011 cars, being the difference be
tween actual production and what il Wuld have been under the normal 10
per cent increase-. . '
liccause of tlie slowness of'the rclui'U to normal production it is estimated
that the output of cji-is in 1919 will In- about half of the three' million which
Would be net ded'to make up this sliol l.,ge.
The growth of the automobile Imsjnos has been one of the marvels of modv
n il times. In 1909.otilv- l JI.Siil curs V.i'rc produced. In 1917 the production
bail increased,lo 1.7:S7,000. 'The total ci'pital invested is '297,01 !U,(K 10, which
is three times as large as the out"laud!ug stock of the entire Standard Oil
rroiip of thirty-five (Kii.npaiiies and e;i i cdcil the capital of all the national
banks at the end of 191ii.
The wages paid in this iinhi.-.l ry, vJii' h i now the third largest in the.l'irit
d States, xcccded by tlOO.OOO.oiiO ;IH the gold in circulation in the United
. Utafes in 191(.and was equal lo three-quarters of the government's ordinary
receipts. " "
. There jfrp now more than l,0ii,(N)0 automobiles 'in'use in tlie t.'niti'd States
alone. These rars develop 100,00(),OOfi l-irsepo-r or ken tiijies the totiil power
