ference will meet tomorrow 70 draw I'D
\ protocol. OF declaration Of mutual pur-
poses. which viii be presented 10 the
President Of the United States, the Presi-
dent Of Mexico, and the governor general
Of Canada
Contrary to the general expectation, the
conference was unable to conclude its de
fiberations yesterday, and although de-
voting the entire day to the effort TO
--interna1ioualize" the protocol. was un-
able 10 whip the document into its final
shape.
Suggestion OF Protocol.
The suggestion Of the protocol grew out
of the fact that all the North American
nations are working for a common end.
and Il was believed that an open and
unanimous declaration Of this fact would
immensely strengthen the movement
In many ways. It IS contended, Canada
can assist the United States in its work.
and vice versa Both have the same end
20 gain. and both the same opposition 70
meet. It is felt that boundary lines can
safely be ignored IN the work
There has perhaps never been a con-
ference in the history of this country
said CLIFFORD Pinchot last night, in which
the three leading nations showed such
complete approval and gave such assur-
aDca OF support 70 each other I do not
think its value can be overestimated- Il

REDUCTIONS in
MP0RTATI0NS
Falling OFF in Exports Not
Due to Unpopularity
of Goods.

Washington. Nov. S-The falling
on In exports from United States
IN 1908 when compared with the
Immediately preceding year seems
TO have been a mere incident of
general trade conditions I'm the COM
mercial world rather than the result
OF any lack i'm popularity OF Ameri-
can goods in foreign markets. Fig
ures just compiled by the Bureau
OF Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor show that the
United states contributed in 1908.
In fact, a larger percentage %. tbc
imports of the principal lorc,gn
countries of the world than in the
earlier years when our export trade
was at its maximum. The cXuorts
IRON the United States in the cal
erdar year 1905. as is well known.
fell 10 million dollars below those
OF 1907 and &c Millions below those
OF 1906. Much interest has been
FELT as to the real cause of this
large falling oc in. exports. The
bureau of Statistics has. In the at
tempt to determine the cause of
this decline in exports in 1908.
made a careful analysis of the i'm
ports OF the principal countries to
winch our exports are sent with
the purpose OF determining whetb-
er the reduction in purchases of
products of the United States was
ace TO large purchases from other
sources by those countries, respec-
lively, or whether the reduced val
ne of their respective imports from
us was merely a part of general
reduction in their imports. This
analysis Is based in each case upon
oficiai iiguFes of the Irrespective
countries in question
The result of this study shows
that merchandise from the United
States formed in 1905 a larger per-
centage OF the total imports OF the
principal countries OF the world
than in 1907. or, In most cases. in
1916, and that the decline I'M our
exports in these yaar, was thus.
apparently, due to a general reduc-
ton in imports by other couni ries
rather than any appropriately of
OF discrimination against our pro
ducts.
