Show TWO-WAY STREET There are those who feel that it is their patriotic duty to buy only those products made in the United Unit-ed States, incuding cars. They want to make sure that as many workers as possible are employed in the States and think that buying buy-ing only U. S. goods will help. Guy Nunn, who directs radio and television operations for the United Unit-ed Auto Workers of America, noted not-ed that an estimated one out of every four jobs in the auto industry in-dustry is connected with exporting export-ing cars from the U. S. to other countries. "If we exclude foreign cars," he explains, "foreign governments will eventually exclude our exports ex-ports to them." Thus, although buying only domestic cars would mean that employment in the : auto industry would have to rise by amost ten percent to fill the vacuum left from foreign cars, twenty-five percent of the workers work-ers in the industry would no( longer be needed - final loss of i over fifteen percent. ! Then, exports are important to the United States. And Imports are essential to keep trade go-1 ing. It is a popular mlsconcep- tion that the United States runs a balance of trade deficit. It is a fact that we sell much more tO foriegn countries than we buy from them. (We do, however, have a balance of payment deficit, defi-cit, which is something altogether altogeth-er different.) The United States are West-Germany's largest supplier, and to this country Germany represents the third largest foreign market for American goods and services. As the U. S. did with the rest of the world, we were exporting more than we were buying: in 1962 we exported 18 billion dollars dol-lars worth to Germany, and im- . 1 (UC IMU rlnllnm ustrth from Germany. The exact figures for 1963 are not out as yet, but they will be around 2 billion dollars of exports ex-ports to Germany, and 1 billion dollars worth of Imports from Germany. So we can see that all that money we paid out, and more, came right back to buy goods and services from us. A real two-way street. And the more healthy the trade with Germany and the rest of Europe is, the less money we have to invest in non-commercial foreign aid. How does Volkswagen enter the picture? VW's are made in West Germany. While some Americans are buying buy-ing Volkswagens, Volkswagen is buying American! Every month, Volkswagen pays $700,000 Just for American steel and magnr- ium. The powtr plant in their main factory at Wolfsburg swallows swal-lows about 300 tons of U. S. coal every day. Nearly half of Wolfburg's huge body presses came from the United Unit-ed States. Cost per unit $570,-000. $570,-000. All of their gear-cutting ma-chinery ma-chinery has the "Made in USA" stamp. In fact, in the past years, Volkswagen has purchased over $50,000,000 worth of American machinery. Yes, Volkswagen Is a thriving business in the United States. Their 750 American dealers and distributors have Invested about $200,000,000 in sales and service facilities. Worldwide, Volkswagen Is also a thriving business. In 1961 they became the world's third largest automotive producer, and the largest outside the United States. Their plants In Germany utilize over 75,000 workers in two shifts. They produce one vehicle every 15 seconds. In 1963, that amounted amount-ed to 1,132,080. Out of a totxl cf 1,209,591 Volkswagens produced in 1963, 77,511 were made In Aus. tralia, Brazil and South Africa. As Volkswagen's health increase, it adds economic strength to Western Europe and to the rest of the free world. JONES MOTOR 380 SOUTH MAIN CEDAR CITY.
