Isl the natural otltgFowth OF our won
derful industrial development under
the domestic policy now firmly estab-
lished hat we produce beyond our
domestic consumption must have vent
abroad. The excess must be relieved
through a foreign outlet, and we should
sell everywhere we can and buy Wher-
ever the buying will enlarge our sales
and productions and thereby make q
greater demand for home labor. The
period Of exclusiYeness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commeree
is the pressing problem. Commercial
wars are Improbable "a policy OF good
will and friendly trade relations win
prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties
are in harmony with the spirit of the
