The piece notes 30,000,000 Americans travel by car this year and American factories shipped 153,384 vehicles abroad last year. It argues the automobile fosters mobility, breaks provincialism, and extends American civilization abroad, citing Spain as a buyer of 13,800 vehicles.
American automobiles and 10,700 from all other countries combined last year. Jugo-Sla via took 1,000 American cars and only 250 of all other kinds. Turkey took another thousand and 8,000 went to the Netherlands. In Sweden 10,000 American cars were purchased and only 1,650 from all other countries. Thus American ingenuity and enterprise sets the whole world traveling. And if these cars aren’t as big an aid to world understanding and peace as some think, they are a great aid to world convenience and pleasure. And they provide work for countless American men and women.

In New York on March 20 readers are offered a travel vignette about the Fort Lee ferry, its upstream drift and slip side impacts as well as a rooftop view of the Palisades.
