...Automobile Show in Manhattan marking the January first of the 1938 automobile year, rival makers were girt for renewed combat on a scale far greater than ever before. Last week it was announced that for the first time since 1929 automobiles and parts rate as No. 1 U. S. export. In Detroit, employment approached the 1929 peak. In Manhattan, the Automobile Manufacturers Association announced that production of 1937 models had totaled 5,110,000 cars and trucks, 12% over 1936, despite strikes. World automobile ownership was at a new high of 41,750,000 motor vehicles...
...Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Co. was founded in 1850 near the salt deposits of Natrona, Pa., to manufacture alkaline salts of soda. Its process was a failure. Oil found on its land helped to keep it alive for a few years-it became the first company to export refined petroleum from the U. S.-500 bbl. to London at 5? a gal. But "Salt" has paid dividends every year since 1863, and last week was able to announce the most profitable year in its history: earnings of $11.79 a share on 150,000 shares of stock...

Hull. In his gentle old voice Secretary of State Cordell Hull reiterated his best-known belief, that the world's woes will remain until tariff barriers are reduced. He reinforced it with up-to-date facts: "In 1936 our export trade with 14 countries, with which trade agreements were in effect all or part of that year, increased by 18.2% over 1935, while our trade with non-agreement countries in creased 9.2%." Not on the platform but at a press conference Cordell Hull underscored his belief still further by a prediction that a general war or economic catastrophe...
...Exports 8 Imports. In the first six months of 1937 total U. S. exports rose 20% over the same period last year, but exports to Japan rose 77% to $165,000,000 and exports to China rose 50% to $31,000,000, indicating that both warring factions anticipated trouble. Last week trade to Japan had suffered little, as was shown by the New York silk market, where prices declined on the belief that imports from Japan would continue to arrive on schedule. But exports to China were way off, since Shanghai normally handles more than 50% of China...
