"Of .course I appreellle," said Sir William, "that a very measur able portion of the success of the British company today is a reflec tion of the wonderful success of the Willys-Overland company In America. I understand that- the assets of this company have been increased more than $30,000,000 within the-past three years. We cannot hope to thing of figures such as these in our British com pany for some time to come, but the market in Great Britain will develop just as it has developed over here -through the develop ment of the motor car as a fun damental economy in transporta tion, and I am coninced that such far seeing leaders ot ' American automobile manufacturing as Jehn Willys are going to reap , a great reward for their foresight in linking up their manufacturing intimately on a sound -economic basis with ' the domestic Interests of 'Great Brtaln."
