' Local business men are showing great
interest in The national business rally
which will be a part of the National
Merchant Marine Congress, opening to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock at the New
Willard, for session lasting two days.
Their interest in the congress has been
greatly stimulated because of the fact
that present business conditions will be
discussed by some of the most prominent
business men and manufacturers of the
country. Although Washington has no
direct connection with foreign trade. the
thinking business men of the city readily
see tina: a material expansion of national
trade will affect business in its entirety
throughout the country. Invitations have
been sent to the members of both the
Washington Board of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce, and many replies
Rave been received from local business
men signifying their intention of attend
ing the congress.
The members of the convention will
discuss the present trade conditions and
the best means TO enlarge the sales of
this country. Business condition of the
country. also. will be taken up and
thoroughly considered.
Exports Arc Important.
