GERMAN MOTORG MAKERS
FEAR AMERICAN RIVALS
LEIPSIC, July 17 (AP)—German
automobile manufacturers are much
worried over the prospects of Ameri
can competition. Certain embargoes
upon the importation of foreign cars
are about to expire after which noth
ing but a customs tariff will stand in
the way of a flood of American qutos
German manufacturers recognize
that they can only hope to meet Am
erican competition if they unite and
simplify production. Thus far there
has been a tendency for every auto
ergineer coming uyu from thc‘a ranks
to set up for himself as soon as his
funds perinitted and fo devise a car
slightly different from existing types
The result *has been that mass prod
uction is unknown in Germany.
As a first step toward concentrat
ion and centralization, the two lar.
gest automobile manufacturers in
Germany, Daimler and Benz, have
pocled their interedts and entered in
to an arrangcment which approaches
standardizalicn. ’
