Their real ccncern, however, is not competi- tion here, but in other countries. France formerly exported more than half her cars. Last year ex- ports were only two-fifths, and this year, the exports are running only one-tenth, says Charles Faroux, a recognized automobile authority. Since American cars sell well here at double their American fac- tory prices, they have an advantage in many places, though not in France and her colonies. For years some industrial lead- ers have urged standardization, co- operation by makers and removal of the 12 per cent de luxe tax as measures essential to the French automobile industry's existence. changes. Three French manufac- turers, Citroen, Renault and Peu- geot, are credited with three-fourths of the output. Four others make up a seventh. Sixty other manu- facturers therefore are relatively unimportant in volume of output, although some are valuable in maintaining the prestige of the French car. : With this as a start, it is argued that French makers have only to go further in concentrating factor- ies, cutting overhead and in stan- dardizing materials and methods. Costs, it is admitted by automo- bile engineers, could be reduced greatly by general adoption of a few lines by placing them in materially to Mrs. Taft, the widow.
