INTERESTING ONE Item Tells of Measures for Mak- ing Most of American Trade Washington, Dec. 13.—Measures for making thé most of America’s world trade opportunity are foremost in Secretary Redfield’s report of the many activities of the Department of Commerce presented yesterday to congress. The department probably conducts more different phases of government work than any other, and while all are touched upon in the long report, measures for promoting for- eign trade and an account of the year's commercial operations stand at the top of the list. “The visible balance of trade in favor of the United States on mer- chandise transactions for the year ended June 30, 1917, was $3,- 634,450,905,” says the report. ‘“The was $6,293,806,000 and of our import trade $2,659,355,185. During the three months’ period from the close of the fiscal year to October 1 the merchan- dise exports have been $1,319,213,625. The imports $729,978,017, and the net visible balance $589,235,608. “The department earnestly hopes for the passage early in the coming session of the so-called Webb bill, now pending in the senate. This measure will have an important bearing in promoting our foreign commerce. It Will strengthen one of the weakest points in our foreign trade and will glve confidence to many a manufac- turer and merchant to undertake for- eign business from which now, for lack of the authority this measure will give, he feels himself excluded. “This country now holds the great- est reserve of gold the world has ever seen. It is a great economic prize. On it, as a secure base, rests our national, state, municipal, cor- porate, and private credits. Let it be seriously diminished and the vol- ume of credits that we can give is thereby diminished also. There are but few ways in which this reserve, based on which our credits depend, can be adequately protected from eco- nomic attack. mong these methods are loans abroad, investments abroad, sales abroad, services abroad. By one or another of these methods or by combinations of them we can keep the current of exchange so flowing that our gold reserve may resist ser- ious diminution. Tn so doingéwe con- serve our power to give credit, which is to say our power to do business on a large scale. This means employ- ment, activity, occupation. We are becoming accustomed to loans abroad. ‘We are beginning, but as vet only be- ginning, ‘to make investments abroad on any considerable scale. We are not yet rendering services abroad on a large scale, such as insurance or transportation. “We must hold as fully as we can the volume of our foreign commerce intact. If we fail to take these cco- nomic movements at their true value, the result will be upon our own heads and we shall only have ourselves to blame. We may, indeed, continue as a going concern, but we cannot hold a place of financial and industrial and commercial power in tHe world unless we keep the credit-giving pow- er. This situation is comparatively new to Americans;.it has come upon us suddenly; it has risen out of the shock of war. It is the more neces- sary therefore to make it plain that if we would prosper to the full we can no longer think the thoughts of former days of relative isolation. are in the family of a financial and commercial world, and if we would keep our place and influence therein we must plagy our due part as one of the family. “The establishment of free ports at strategic points on our coast would be a potent factor in maintaining and extending our foreign trade.

During the last year, urgent requests for the establishment of new commercial attache posts have been received from our ambassadors to Italy, Japan, Spain, and from the consul general at Cal- cutta, India, the request from Japan having already been acoceded to. In addition, we should have these repre- sentatives to Central America, South the East Indies, Venezuela, Colombia, and the West Indies, and ‘when events shall permit, in Scandi- navia and the eastern Mediterranean. Otherwise, our touch with the eco- nomic conditions now in process of world-wide readjustment will be in- adequate for our national neceds. ““Amerfcan business men who have come in contact with the commercial attaches in the course of their travels express their high valuation of the assistance given by tthe attaches. Manufacturers and exporters have been unanimous in expressing their gratitude of the benefit derived by the reports and the other advices through this service. The work done by the commercial attache is distinc- tive; it does not involve duplication of work performed abroad by the consular service or by our own trave- and Mexico, | 1917. « |PA[IIFISTS CALLED UPON IN SPEECH + for Secretary of Commerce and Labor Talks to Scranton Audience Scranton, Pa., Dec. 13.—Pacifists and socialists were called upon here last might by Secretary Redfield to take their stand by other peace-lov- ing peoples in the fight against €er- man autocracy. “The deep causes of the cqntest cal] ag imperatively upon the pacifist and the socialist as upon the rest of our people,”” he gaid. ‘““The fine flower of human happiness which pa- cifist and socialist alike claim to seek does not grow out of, cannot be nur- tured by the brutal doctrine of blood and iron. One may indeed respect the idealg that pacifists and socialists | we might take alarm. i them birth. I‘] ling af'ent i i seek, but must deeply regret the lack of vision which prevents their seeing realities through the mist of war.” Mr. Redfield spoke before the Scranton Board of Trade on the un- derlying causes of the war, which he asserted called imperatively on “every one of us” for sacrifice and effort. “If ever a nation had just cause battle, it is we,” said he. “We stand as those who are thrice blest, having their quarrel just. ‘On the face of the record in the face of the deeds done by Germany, we do well to fight. “Behind the more visible provoca- tions to war, there lies a deeper cause. Frightfulness abroad and on the sea and the war carried on in very truth by Germany within our borders, while outwordly friendly, having its center and home in the German embassy and its field of action in every great city, are not the deepest offense at which Far more se- rious ig the thing of which these are but the evidence—the presence in the world of th: malign power that gave For we know now that these crimes are not“accidental but deliberate. They are the expression of the will and purpose of power in | high places, aad by them that power shows its hope and plan to terrorize mankind. Besides the malign purpose and power thus revealed, how pitiful are the cries of those who call ‘peace peace,’ when there is no peace, or those who speak of social solidarity in the very presence of purposdul de liberate inhumanity.” ‘While the world slumbered and thc pacifist dreamed, and the socialist babbled of international comity, said Mr. Redfield, Germany's cruel phil- osophy of blood and iron, imbued with a ruthlessness which recked not of human pain or life was evolving into full force and vigor, abiding the day when all should be ready. “This evil thing menaces mankind,” continued Mr. Redfield. “It is the deadly foe of the pacifists, for it is the seeker and promoter of war. It is in jts very essence all that peace- ful men must hate. To the extent that they are peaceful, they must ab- hor it. If they do not abhor it, they are friends of war and not of peace. He who hag the sdcial spirit must re- volt against this thing.

Mr. Redfield declared that “we figh not the German people or Centratl! Powers so much as the evil enthroned among them, seeking to control ti i world.
