GERMAN MOTOR-CARS
. $ IMPORTS TO GREAT BRITAIN.
MANUFACTURERS CONCERNED
British motor-car manufacturers are concerned by the sharp rise in the imports of German motor-cars into Great Britain. They are complaining of unfair competition. They assert that these imports are subsidised so lavishly that, in spite of the import duty, they are marketed here and in other parts of the Empire at uneconomic prices.
Exports of British motor vehicles in January were up by £169,000 compared with January, 1937. Imports were also up but from one country only. Fewer cars came in from America and all countries except Germany. In January, 1937, Germany sent only 23 cars, valued at £5875. Last month, 1067 cars, of a value of £86,202, came from that country. In the past 13 months 5174 .Germans cars have been sent to Britain.
The comparatively low price at which German cars are sold is due to the State subsidy scheme.
