CAR BUILDERS FIGHT
INTERNATIONAL WAR
NEW YORK. April 1—An inter
national struggle for supremacy in
the world motor car market is de
veloping between the principal man
facturers of the United States and
those of England, France, Italy and
Germany. , .. .
The Ford company s energetic ef
forts to plant subsidiaries at strate
gic points throughout Europe has
spurred the General Motors coi -
poration to contemplate counter
measures. Well informed Wall street
I sources understand that an addi
tional flotation of shares in the
Ford company of Germany, amount
ing to $800,000 will soon be made.
It is reported that an alliance is
being formed between the General
Motors corporation and the largest
French motor car concern, the Cit
roen company. It is accepted as fact
by Wall street that President Sloan
of the General Motors corporation
is undertaking by the purchase of
European companies or by agree
ments with them, to prepare for
Ford's invasion of Europe. _

Boats Report Big
Catches of Shrimp
Off Point Isabel
The shrimp canning plant at
Point Isabel, the largest on the low
er Gulf coast, has been operating to
capacity the past two weeks to
handle the large catches of shrimp
brought in by the trawlers.
Eight boats are now engaged in
trawling in the open Gulf, and daily
catches running as high as 8,000
pounds have been made by the in
dividual boats. The shrimp are the
largest on the Gulf coast, accord
ing to experienced trawlers who
have operated on the upper coast
many years.
The high quality of the shrimp
from the lower section of the coast
already has attracted the attention
of dealers, and the demand for the
products of the canning plant is
greatly in excess of the supply, the
management reports.
Cruiser Added
To Yacht Fleet
At Point Isabel
Another cruiser was added to the
fleet of the Point Isabel Yacht club
last week when W. H. Hall of Stuart
Place brought into port “The Tex
as,” a 48-foot cabin cruiser pur
chased at Corpus Christi.
The Texas is one of the largest
boats of the fleet. It is powered
with a 75-horsepower motor and has
plenty of speed. Mr. Hall, who re
cently moved to the Valley from
Oklahoma, was one of the charter
members of the Point Isabel Yacht
club, and is making arrangements
to spend most of the summer at the
Point.
CANADA GRAIN FIELDS
ON SHORTER RAIL LINE
WINNIPEG, Anril 1.—(JP)—The
Hudson's Bay railway, now being
constructed by the Canadian gov
eminent, will shorten effectively the
distance between the grain fields
of Western Canada and the mar
kets of Europe. .
From Saskatoon to Liverpool via
the Great Lakes and St. Lawernce
the distance of 4.878 miles, but by
the new railroad to Churchill it is
only 3.783 miles. It is 5.224 miles
from Edmondton to Liverpool by
wav of the St. Lawrence and only
4.182 miles by rail to Churchill.
The shorter haul, and conse
auently lower costs and quicker de
livery. is expected to give Canadian
wheat farmers an advantage in the
world market. _
... ..A
LATIN TRADE
MEET SUBJECT
Development of Exports To
Be Discussed By Conven
tion At Baltimore
BALTIMORE, April 1.—(JP)—Fur
ther development of the export
trade with Latin America will be
the chief topic to confront the six
teenth annual convention of the
National Foreign Trade council.
This convention will be here April
17-19 and is expected to attrace
upwards of 2,000 delegates.
The meeting will mark the first
assembly of local foreign trade
councils, export managers’ associa
tions and similar groups. Steps
will be taken toward national col
laboration of these smaller organi
zations.
Merchandising sessions will be
instituted and informal meetings
will permit the presentation of
economic problems confronting the
exporter. One feature will be the
demonstration of modern methods
of international communication.
Cable, telegraph, telephone, radio
and wireless hookups will be ar
ranged for actual demonstration
before the delegates.
James A. Farrell, president, in
summoning delegates to the meet
ing says:
“The foreign trade of the United
States for 1928 showed continual
development,” he declares. “The
value was more than $9,000,000,000.
Manufactured products rose to 70
per cent of this total. Of the raw
material, which comprises the oth
er 30 per cent, cotton supplied
two-thirds of the value. This de
velopment of exported manufac
tured goods is the outstanding fea
ture of the year's trade.”
