SAMPLE GOODS SHIP
PROJECT OPPOSED
Redfield Advises Against Plan
to Send Federal Vessels to
South America.

WASHINGTON. Sept Is.--An adverse
report was sent 20 the Senate to-day by
Secretary Redheld Of the Department OF
Commerce on tho plan proposed In Sena-
tor Weeks's resolution for sending AZ least
six vessels now IN the military or naval
service OF tine United States, to the prin-
cipal ports Of South America with SAMPLES
Of manufactured goods produced In the
United States.
In addition TO reporting on the feaslbi-
ity OF the plan the Secretary OF Commerce
was asked 10 give an estimate OF the
probable cost OF putting II into effect.
Secretary Redfield replied to-day IN part
ut is the opinion OF all that the situa-
ton is such as would not Justify taking
such a course. The temporary embar-
rassment arising from the shock upon
thu mechanism OF credit and the cost OF
exchange, which has been felt SO much
IN this country, has struck with even
greater force on the nations Of the sluth.
1T would rather seem that measures
should be taken II practicable in our
country TO assist South America IN her
urgent financial needs. ~ and when
these things are done and hardly before
then, 1t will bu time to look Tor the plac-
ing Of considerable orders FOR American
products"
Secretary Redheld said that II would b,
difficult to estimate the cost OF sending
vessels unless II he known exactly what
size and character Of vessels would be re-
CURED and how they are TO he fitted up
and what goods they are To carry. Con
Guiding. Secretary Redfeld says
There exists no lack of information
with respect to conditions in those mar
kets and II IL the Judgment OF this De-
partment that tho proposed methods Of
sending ships now In the military or
naval service Of the United States with
samples would he productive OF compare
lively little value at this time. The dis
play OF individual and corporate products,
II is believed. should not be made under
the auspices OF the Federal Government,
but by commercial and other firms"
