PRODUCERS SHOULD STUDY MARKETS Correspondent, Commenting on Star Editorial, Gives Advice to Manu- facturers Seeking World Trade. To the Editor of The Star: The writer has been very much in- terested in reading the editorial in your issua of March 16, based upon the communication of the American Chamber of Commerce in Constanti- nople. Our own chamber is in hearty accord with all that has been said by the Constantinople chamber on this subject: but we desire to emphasize one point which is not referred to in your editorial and which will sooner or later determine whether or not the American manufacturer will be able to maintain a place in foreign trade, which must be maintained if the v rious industries of this country are to be operated to their full capacity. The matter of primary importance is that American should study the requirements of the markets in which they wish to do ture goods in accordance with t requirements of same; but this, un- fortunately, is not the American method. The average American manu- facturer is so sure that America is the greatest country on earth and that no one else knows anything at all, that he desires to force goods made in accordance with his ideas upon the other nations of the earth, whether they want them or not. The American manufacturer was able to do this during the period of the war and the months immed!ately following the armistice, due to the general disorganization of the indus- tries ‘of our principal competitors, and, unfortunately, most of our manufacturers are inclined to think that what they could do during the war period they can continue to do ; and they expect their ives to go into foreign markets of the world and sell Ameri- can goods made in a way that suits Kalamazoo or Kankakee or Oshkosh or any other town in the United States without reference to the wishes or desires of their actual cus- tomers, no matter whether those cus- tomers be located in Europe, Asia or Africa. This attitude on our part is re- sented by the very people that we desire to do business with, and their resentment is not without justifica- tion. Those of us who have been in foreign fields can tell many stories illustrating the loss of important business because American manufac- turers insist on disregarding the needs and requirements of the coun- u-| with which they attempt to do business, but I think one illustration will suffice to prove our contention. The Greek foot is shaped differently from the American, in that it has a much higher instep and it is impos- sible for the average Greek to wear a shoe made on an American last. After the armistice several American manufacturers, in their eagerness for foreign trade with complete ignorance of the requirements of the Greek market, sent large consignments of shoes to Greece, which, of course, were not sold and in most cases have been returned to this country. If these people had sent a competent and practical man to Greece first, to study | R the requirements of the market, their experience with the export trade of that country would have been much more satisfactory and profitable. This same idea could be illustrated in many different ways. \W's A Honsv of Mme.

In one particular instance the ar- bitrary attitude of the American man- ufacturers forced a French company, which had been originally organized to handle American products, to start the manufacture of the same lines of Boods in France and they are now operating for good sized factories on | a line of goods which could have been supplied from surplus American ca- | pacity had the manufacturers of this couniry been sufficiently far-sighted to have made what the French trade required instead of trying to impose the type of goods that they wished | to make.
