SNOWDEN ON TRADE OF WORLD Reviews Commercial Conditions Existing Throughout Universe New York, Dec. 6.—Commercial conditions throughout the world were reviewed by Dr. Albert A. Snowden, | of the National Association of Manu- facturers, in an address today before the International Trade Conference which is being held herg under the auspices of the Manufacturers’ asso- ciation. After showing what a great up- heaval had been caused in the eco- nomic world by the war, Dr. Snow- den pointed out some of the opportun- jties in international trade that were bound to come with the readjustment following the war. Among other things he laid stress on the improvement in foreign news service, along com- mercial lines. “International trade,” said he, “in its higher aspects, means world-ser- vice.” As means of giving better ser- vice to other nations, thereby obtain- ing trade and through it employment for our workmen, the manufacturers. shippers, and bankers of the United States, in the opinion of the speakcr. must co-operate; give workers tech- nical training; establish export trade schools; improve foreign news S°I- vice; and place direct representatives of the manufacturers in foreign flelds. Requires Information. “Trade of any kind, world trade in particular,” he continued, “requires in- cessantly, the getting and giving of in- formation. The constant improve- ment of the means for the interchange of commercial facts with other na- tionals is essential to the rational ex- pansion of international trade. The government of the United States and our leading organizations and financial institutions have lately increased the facilities for the interchange of sich information. Our industrial news service through other countries is be- ing facilitated through the same agencies.” “The United States is taking 'ts place as a premier investor nation,” he said, ‘and for the first time our actual holdings of foreign securities exceed in amount the total of Ameri- can securities held abtoad. Our ex port of capital has suddenly beco: larger than that of Great Britain in its palmiest days before the war. Numerous Obstacles. “But there are numerous obstacles in our way of international trade. The European war not only eliminated the two largest merchant fleets from active commerce—leaving an interior port, Cleveland, O., as the headquar- | ters of the world’s largest line of steamers actually engaged in trade but it swept from the seas all mgcr- chant vessels of the nation that was second in ocean-trafficing-power. The combined merchant marine of the United States has, of course, stood second among the nations of the world for a great many years, but since s large part of its tonnage has been con- fined to the Great Lakes, an another considerable section has been occupied in coastwise and river navigation, we have had relatively few ships in tke overseas traffic. In the United States the ill-advised seamen’s act, foolishly intended as a betterment, has had :lie effect of a flotilla of hostile submarines directed against our own merchant marine.” He said that the anticipated heavy traffic between Europe and the Orient, via the Panama canal, has not as vet materialized, and the dearth of ocean carriers is felt in our own trade with China, Japan, and the West Coast of South America, via this route, but L.e thought that with the ending of the European war this situation would im- prove. o Alive to Tariffs. He continued. “Producers everywhere are keenly alive to the tariff and manufacturing readjustments to be faced after the war. The probable low cost of labor in certain foreign countries is to soine a cause of apprehension; others be- leve that the skilled labor of the bel- ligerent nations has been demioralizec and damaged, immeasurably. That machinery will be used more and more to assist production, is a settled con- clusion. To some persons, the dye- stuffs situation, one the foreign ew- bargo on wool and other commodities and the dumping probabilities, em- phasize the necessity for tariff re- adjustments; on the other hand, there is an appreciation of the fact that an investor nation must have large im- portations of goods. Self-sufficiency in the providing of our own require- ments is strongly advocated by some individuals; others realize that no na- tion can be fully self-dependent—that a division of labor among the nations, each excelling in its own specialties, is as necessary as is hte customary di- vision of labor in the productive ac- tivities of the home country. Cer- tainly, trade cannot long remain one- sided. We must buy from others as well as sell to them. There must be a middle ground between self-sufficiency and co-operation. 3 KAISER THANKS DUCHESS. For Gift of Etching Entitled ‘“Silent Herofsm.” Berlin, Dec. 6.—Emperor William, in thanking the Grand Duchess Louise of Baden, for the gift of an etching entitled “Silent heroism,” portraying peasant women tilling the land while the men are fighting at the front, to- day sent her the following telegram: “Your appropriate gift has just been received, for which I thank you heartily. The German woman has proved herself equal to the limit of her tasks; as pious, strong and confl- dent in all matters, and active in fol- lowing the example set by Germany's wonderful princesses. May God bless your work, “WILHELM.” (14 ondition” Your Own Tobacco Another Big Advantage of VELVET SMOKAROLS— the Great Tobacco Triumph Haven't you often found that your smoking tobacco dries and hardens? Steam heat will do it; or changeable climate. .If your tobacco is in tin or bag, nothing can be done about it for immediate use. But when the atmosphere affects the tobacco in a VELVET SMOKAROL you can quickly “condition” it if you Breathe Through the SMOKAROL Before Filling Your Pipe This “conditioning” restores the SMOKAROL to its natural softness. It will also aid it to slip easily and snugly into the pipe bowl, and your tobacco will be just right for a cool, enjoyable smoke. OKAROLS PATENTED "JUNE 29 1918 If your dealer cannot supply you, we will send you a drum of VELVET SMOKAROLS—12 packages, 72 smokes—30c and a SMOKAROL PIPE 25c, on receipt of cash or stamps.
