Great Advance OF Export Trade
II assume YOU are aware Of the great
advance Of American export trade In
manufactures during the last year.
Time was. within the memory Of most
Of you. when We sold abroad chiefly
the products of our fields and farms or
OF our mines. We were known as q
TODD od-cXporting country, and IN a sense
did large feed the nations. That day
is gone our exports of crude food
stufrs arc but Is per cent of the total,
and the major place in our export
trade Is flied by the products of our
manufactures. in which work you Of
Detroit have had a large share.
ITO sell our manufactures abroad 10
the extent of over fifteen hundred
millions i'm value in one year is no
small thing: but when this continues
to expand at the approximate ratio of
half q million dollars daily. and when
in this total tho largest item by far is
that or fully finished manufactures,
which is not only. as l have said, the
biggest item, but that which is grow
ing fastest then the statement is
very much more marked"
In concluding, the secretary told his
hearers that, IL the funds werc forth
coming. he proposed 10 reorganiSe the
Imreau of Corporations so that "a sys-
tematic inquiry into all big combina-
tions could be made. This he said,
would not be undertaken in any mimi
cal spirit but solely for the purpose OF
securing information which he believed
the government should have.
