In these coun tries and preaching the merits of American products. Mr. Arcner declared that wniys-OYerlan4 ex ports of snpet and WlUya ataisht automobiles to. these countries liave ; increased to soeh aa extent that they aow constitute im percentof WinysOverland'a entire production. "China Is the world' most no te'ntlal but undeveloped market." Mr. Archer .said. "It has the greatest sales possibilities for au tomobile manufacturers. AH Chi na, needs Is a stable government to inculcate confidence and M--are Justice." Mr. Archer said that a Whippet car shipped . to Shanghai costs double Its price in Toledo and that when the car Is shipped or ' driven into the Interior a few mites, it costs double the Shanghai price. "The Chinese "buy automobiles mostly for use as taxicabs," Sir. Archer continued. "Individual Chinese who have sufficient moo- ey to flseatkm by the government later. The ability to buy a car is accept ed as Indication of the possession of considerable wealth and gov eminent agent make the most of It. "The motor bus" is the biggest posslbilty ip. China today. Trans portation of people is more im- ' Dortant than transportation of goods. The. need for trucks and busses explains why the Willys - Knight and Whippet trucks are meeting with excellent acceptance abroad. This Is particularly true In Argentine, Chile and Brazil In, fact, most of the" South Amer ican area as. well .as in British ( South 'Africa. Sales of our cars 'are J showing new" Increases in Am ' tralia. New, Zealand and Japan, while business !n continental Eu rope Is holding up very well. "To the average American! who is buying his gasoline for around 20 cents a gallon, it may be as toolshlng to "learn that through out the Orient, gasoline Sells for 45c a gallon,, jn these countries, too, four passenger Whippet open '"ears are frequently converted Into even passengers. "Japan Is the most advanced ' nation In road construction In j Asiatic regions. r The Japanese government has just spent mil lions of .dollars on concrete high ways connecting Osaka and Kobe, . also Tokio and Yokohama. These roads are equal to any good road we have in the. 4 Untied. States. ' New Zealand is in the best shape financially of any of the nations. The per capita wealth is startling. The government there is not plan ning on more railroads as it is "on the improvement of existing high ways for automobiles and busses. The road construction program in Australia is not going ahead as it should r but increasing traffic will shortly force it. v 1 1 nil iin iu) i Labor Day Drive We suggest a loop trip to Portland, The .
