comprehensive and represen-

in 1910 is assured. Manufac.
Il turers and business men
throughout the country are
displaying lively interest in the I'M
dertaking and applications for space
have been received by the American
committee from many states. The
indications are that every branch OF
American progress will be shown at
the exposition.
1t is but natural that the United
States should seek to hold an ALI
American exposition in Europe. for
our export trade in that direction has
reached splendid proportions and 1t
is constantly increasing. Our exports
to Europe for the year 1908 reached
the enormous sum of 81 ,27O,0l6.773. 1t
is also easily seen why the projectors
of the exposition selected Germany as
the country in which to hold 1t. for
that country alone receives s274.17s..
712 of our export trade. nearly one
fourth of the total amount going to
Europe. 1t can be truly said of Ber-
lin that that city is the commercial
heart of Europe.
Impetus has been given to the ex-
position enterprise by the recent APP
pointment of former Governor David
r. Francis of Missouri to the Office OF
first vice.president of the American
committee. Mr.. Francis was president
of the st. Louis worlds fair in 1904.
and the success of that great exposi-
ton was largely due to his wise man
agement and active interest.
