Tt is only a question of how soon the United States re- ls to the needs of A WORLD SUDDENLY CUT OFF goods for which it pays Europe billions of dollars every What has become of the ships that dot every ocean laden marked, “Made in Germany”? from the sea! Every one of them tied up at ts in some neutral port or in some home port. Thousands German factories have shut down for the workers to go ‘war or because the German commercial ships dare not the ocean. These factories have supplied the Orient, island of the sea, South America, Central America, yes, the United States, too, with their products. What factories will take their place? American factories, folks, if we are really up to snuff! If Germany sets free her commercial fleet by whipping ever-lasting pigiron out of England's fleet, who, then, ick up the immense shipping business of England? : many, because her workers will be too busy fighting “and producing munitions of war and food for their armies “and their people at home. . If Germany wins at sea France will be bottled up. Who ‘is going to get France’s big foreign trade? And so with the lesser foreign trade of Austria and Rassia, and the Balkan countries and some of the other little, “bottled-up states. — : : * The possibilities for the United States increasing its foreign trade enormously, at the expense of Europe, are great. Only quick action is needed Germany's exports, which are mostly manufactured ‘articles, amounted last year to approximately TWO BIL- LION DOLLARS. How’s that for a nice, juicy watermelon for the United States to grab off? _ Germany exported ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY- ONE MILLION DOLLARS’ worth of stuff to the United last year, or about that. Why can’t we in America ‘make that stuff if we can’t buy it from Germany? Of course ‘we can, and hand the larger part of that money back to Amer- _ ican workmen. a Great Britain—that is, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales—exported TWO BILLION TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS’ worth of goods last year. Even if England wins the big naval rough-and-tumble with Germany she'll be too busy to take care of that fine export lum of hers in its entirety. CAN’T WE TAKE A BIG ITE OUT OF IT? j Somebody's got to get all this trade that Europe has just ‘thrown over its shoulders. The main thing is for the United States to get busy right away quick, or sooner, and go after it with both hands and two feet! eep It Up, Judge!
