The reductions are said to range from approximately 14 per cent. on lorries to 31 per cent on cars.

Inquiries made by a Press repre- Bambay-Per YETORUFU
santative shows that uncertainty has existed among British manu-) facturers as to whether this cut will be restricted to the cheapest type of car or whether it heralds a scheme on the part of harassed: American manufacturs to carry on their big factories by bringing! down prices all round.
If the latter course were adopt- ed it might have disastrous
efforts.
Faere is on doubt," said one authority," of the serious slump with which America car manu facturers are faced at the moment. Things are as bad there as they! ca. be, and lesser lights in the maturing world are going out.
