FOREIGN TRADE DISCUSSED
Fairfax Harrison Says American Man

Invasion Of Foreign Markets
With Any Consistency.

Washington.-Five hundred manu-

mercial organizations launched the
first national foreign trade convention
here. At a banquet Secretary Bryan
outlined the administrations attitude
toward the campaign for industrial
relations with other countries.
$50 far as it is possible to do So"
the secretary said, sit is our desire to
obtain for Americans equality of op-
portunity in the markets of the world.
But while this government wishes to
expand its foreign trade and to en-
courage those who seek in foreign
lands a field for American capital and
labor, 1t cannot assume responsibility
for or guarantee the financial stand
ing OF Americans who engage In COM
mercial or Industrial enterprises be-
yond the boundary of the United
States"
Mr.. Bryan said that II wrong were
done an American citizen in his legit-
innate business relations with a off,
eign government, diplomatic officials
would be instructed to employ their
good offices to cur justice, but that
the support promised by this gov
crnment does not imply any obliga-
tion to interfere by force or by the
menace of force in the financial or
political affairs Of other countries"
The state department, he added,
must exercise it's right to act upon
each case Independently, according
to merits"
The Importance OF foreign trade to
the railroads was discussed by Fair
fax Harrison, president of the South
ern railway, who said there was no
doubt of the eagerness of %transporta-
ton lines, both steamship and rail
way, to afford ample service in the
building up of a foreign trade, but
the present difficulty was the irregu-
larity with which the manufacturer Of
United States takes up the inva-
sion Of foreign markets.

in the capital and put in a full DAYS
work before he left at midnight for
Oyster Bay.
The primary object of the colonel's
trip was to deliver a lecture before the
National Geographic Society on his

ference he held just before leaving
with the Progressive leaders in Con-

a plan of action by the Progressive
party in the coming congressional cam
paign. If it results in nothing more,
the party leaders expect Mr.. Roosevelt
to show the way in which the Wilson

tors and in prediction literature.
Col. Roosevelt went direstly to the
National Museum to look over speci-
mems he procured for that institution
on his African hunting trip several
years ago. Many of these specimens
have been mounted since Mr.. Roose-

5000 rolls Of barbad wire.
Gen. Funston understands the am.

the landing Of the Bavaria, as follows:
