AMERICA v. ENGLAND. £T would be a pity to- allow the public interest and amusement that was engendered by our reply to a recent famous advertisement of one of our competitors to die down for the want of some further interesting information on the same subject being disseminated, so whilst we are awaiting their next effort we wish to mention another aspect oL.the controversy. For the sake of pleasurable argument, we will admit that the “White” Truck fairly represents the best class *of truck that America produces, and we presume our opponents will admit that the “Leyland” likewise represents the best class of Truck that England produces. Whatever may be said of the American superiority over England in Motor Car production and value, we venture to say that no unprejudiced person will argue otherwise than that for solid value and long-lived service, English Commercial Vehicles far out-distance the Yankee goods, even though the selling price here is higher than the American of similar tonnage —and by the way the actual selling price here of the English Truck is in many cases actually lower than the American ones—but we will take say two machines of 5 tons capacity each with the English machine selling at £17.00 and the Yankee at £l6OO. The point is that the English machines are built to the Imperial weight of 22401bs per ton, whereas the Yankee builds his to the short ton of 20001-bs, but both are commonly referred to here as 3-ton, 4-ton, 5-ton, and so on, which is obviously wrong. Now, in the case referred to above, the actual built-in carrying capacity of John Bull’s production is 11,2001b5, and Uncle Sam’s is IO.OOOIbs, although, mind you, both are referred to as 5-ton machines, and the English price is £lOO more—so that to get at the beginning of the real value of the trucks you must divide the carrying capacity of each into the selling price, with the result that England wins handsomely, as always when value is considered, as follows—

Cost per lb of carrying capacity: England 3/OJ America 3/2 2/5 Let this be an argument in support of purchasing British goods, which is the market for our produce.
