to be borne in mind which sorva to raise some doubt on this point. If British and foreign ears were of much the same type and price, the advantage to the British pro- duct would be obvious. But they are not. It la common knowledge that by far the great majority of cars in Hongkong are of American make. This is no not because there has been any preference for the foreign product as such, but because American high-powered cars have been found more auit able to the needs of the Colony than British vohlcies of approx imately the same price. The horse-power tax at Home has been largely responsible for this cir- cumstance, as It has tended to keep down power. There is a fur- ther factor to be reckoned with, namely, that for the higher-priced British care few servico facilities have been offered in Hongkong: here, again, the American pro-i duct scores.
