Question of a saturation point has been ome giving considerable concern to a certain element Within and with- cut the wutumotive industry. Some producers and some observers have heen just a little fearful that the time would come within & number of years n demand for cars would show a distinct falling-off; that production schedules would have io be cut, and that the industry would have to go through a rigorous reorganization. | There were others—and it is a fact | | that they constituted the greater pro- portion of those well informed—who held to the conviction that overseas demand would keep our utomotive actories husy when the saturation ally Is such a thing | ve.

It Mas been shown that a very vital need for them exists there; it is known that all classes prefer the United States made product above all others.

SUNDLU Treasurer AM DIAMOND EXCHANGE Street for the Pan-American delegates are THE ' EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, The most evident way in which in- creased Latin American inquiry will react upon the motor-car-purchasing public is in the reduction of vehicle prices. In every industrial line larger reduce prices. Broader demand gives him the advantage of & more power- ful dollar. As a result he buys for less and that saving is in turn passed on (o the consumer. This same law holds true in the automotive industry. The more cars manufacturers can .turn out the cheaper their overhead per individual car. Latin American demand—radical- ly increased Latin American demand —which can be confidently expected following the comprehensive tour un- der discussion, will mean stil further price reductions. Stimulated Latin American demand is important in this respect also. Pro- duction reduction would mean unsettle- ment in the industry. It wuold mean unemployment. It would mean stock market cras tI would affect a score of industries dependent upon the auto- motive intustry. It would, thersfore, mean very real industrial hardship. That sharply curtailed output in the ountry’s leading industry cannot come about without a definite economic re- actfon throughout the whole commer- cial and financial structure is evident. On the other hand, increased produc- tion—which growing Latin American as well as other foreign 'demand makes practically certain—will mean greater prosperity 4n a broad number of lines, and eventually will be reflect- ed in the personal financial situation of an amazingly large number of per- sons. ¢ It is in the broad light herein indi- cated that the journalists’ iutomotive tour should be viewed. It should be borne in mind that factors of the greatest industrial and general eco- nomic importance are at stake: that in some way or other the journeyv’'s re- sults will have a personal material effect, and that, furthermore, this point may very well be the starting place of a new era in a great and growing continent’s fundamental de- velopment.
