american Manufacturers
Winning Enormous Irdde

Washington. ID. CHAT one yea
Of the war in Europe will add $500.
600, 900 to the foreign commerce oi
the United States Is the estimate oi
Edward E. Pratt. chief Of the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce.
Mr.. Pratt has just completed a study
of the reports of American eonsuls and
commercial representatives abroad. OF
agents Of his bureau in this country,
and of the new orders for American
manufacturers and products reported
in commercial periodicals.
As specific data upon which to base
his estimates, Mr.. Pratt has the report
of ]. Massel. special commercial
agent. now en- route to South America
to study the machine tool market there
and prepare a review Of the needs Of
South American countries. which viii
be made available to American manu-
facturers. In preparation for his trip
he visited virtually every large manu-
featuring plant in the United States
and estimated that the machine tool
manufacturing companies alone have
from $40, 900, 900 to $4,000. 900 in
new orders from European countries
now on their books. One big plant, he
said, has enough work to keep 1t in
full operation "a hours day for the
next two years. Several concerns
already are preparing to increase their
facilities to meet the larger demands
arising from the war.
The first country among the bellig-
erents to seek the American machine
tool supply was Russia Almost i'm
mediately after war was declared or
ders from Russian houses were re-
eeived for lathes and machines OF all
kinds Of similar nature. That de-
mand has been growing steadily, pre-
sumably because of the fact that the
war had excluded Russia from her
usual source Of supply in Germany.
England and France now have Joined
in seeking American tools. and il 10
indicated that the present supply can
not meet the demands. OF course,
problems of delivery still have to be
met, but the business is Of the most
valuable type, since orders are as a
rule accompanied by cash.
In reaching his estimate on the esti-
mated grand total, Mr.. Pratt took into
the enormous increase in
European-bound food supplies noted in
and October. Details OF
the November foreign commerce are
not available yet, beyond the estimate
that trade balance in favor Of the
United States Of approximately $40
900, 900 will be shown. Department
officials are aware, however, that the
increase in food shipments has con-
tinued and that manufactured arti-
cles are beginning to move across the
Atlantic in considerable volume.

Sixty-7hird Congress
Again in Session

Washington, d. Cat noon Mon
day convened the third session Of the
Sixty-third congress, for which mem
bers of both houses focked to Wash
ington, ending their holiday recess Of
six weeks.
Democratic leaders in informal con-
ferenees before the opening Of the ses-
sion, which is destined to be devoted
chiefly to appropriation measures, have
been unanimous in expressing the hope
that the legislative program OF ne
cessities could be concluded by March
4 next, when the present congress au-
tomaticaIly will end.
Many Republican leaders, however,
have said that there were many i'm
portant measures which they would
urge for passage, and some indicated
that supply bills might be delayed to
such an extent that an extra session
next spring and summer would be nee
essary.
Administration leaders awaited ca
gerly for the annual message of Presi-
dent Wilson, which was delivered in
joint session. Already, however, they
have prepared for some things gener'
ally expected to be pressed before ad-
journment. Conservation measures
include the general waterpower and
land-leasing bills, hearings on which
are to begin before the senate COM
mittee on public lands during the
week.
Before the senate committee on
Philippine Islands the bill to pave the
way for Philippine independence,
which passed the house at the last ses-
sion, is pending.
