EDWARD E. PRATT

Washington, December 2.-That ono
$S00.OoO,000 to the foreign commerce of
the United States II the estimate OF
Edward e. Pratt. chief Of the bureau o {
foreign and domestic commerce. Mr..
Pratt has just completed a study of
the reports of American consuIs and
commercial representatives abroard, of
nnd of the new orders for American
manufactures and products reported
in commercial periodicals.
If the ratio of increase recorded since
August when the war began. is main
tanned until next August, he estimates
new orders placed on the books OF
American firms will total half billion
dollars.
To Study Market
AS specific data upon which to base his
estimates, Mr.. Pratt has the report of ].
Masse, special commercial agent now en-
route to South America to study the ma
chine tool market there and prepare a
review of South American needs for use
of American manufacturers. In prepara-
ton for his trip he visited virtually every
large American manufacturing plant and
estimated the machine tool manufactur-
ing companies alone have from $40, ,0Oo, ,00(
to s15.000.000 in new orders from European
countries. One big plant, he said, has
enough work to keep it in full operation

supply was Russia, which has ordered

now shave Joined in seeking American
tools, and it is indicated present supply
cannot meet the demand. Problems of de-
livery still have to be met: but the busi-
ness is of the most valuable type since
orders are as a rule accompanied by cash.
Increase Food Supplies
In reaching his calculation on the esti-
mated grand total Mr.. Pratt took into
consideration the enormous increase In
European bound food supplies noted in
September and October. Details of the
November foreign commerce were moi
available beyond the estimate of a
trade balance in favor of the United
States of approximately s70.00o,0O0. De-
partment officials are aware, however
the increase In food shipments has con-
tinued and that manufactured articles are
beginning to move across the Atlantic In
considerable volume.

American Conference
Has Been Called

Washington, December Grave
controversies between nations of South
America and European belligerents led
TODAY to the calling of conference
for next Tuesday of the governing
board of the Pan-American union.
Before this board. comprising diplo-
matte representatives here of 20 Amer
lean republics, with the Secretary of
State of the United States as chair
man ex officio, will come various sug-
gestions made by Argentina, Chile,
Peru. Uruguay and Ecuador for a
stronger assertion of the rights of
neutrals and the exclusion of bellig-
erent warships from American waters.
Evidence of the seriousness of the
situation In South America due to the
preeence of belligerent warships on
both coasts was contained in a dis
patch tonight to Eduardo Suarez Mu-
jica the Chilean ambassador. from the
minister of foreign affairs at San
tiago. Chilean officials express a fear
that Germany's alleged violation of
Chilean neutrality may influence 9TH
er belligerents to disregard the terri
torial jurisdiction of Chile and per-
haps cause them to send their war,
ships within the three mile limit to
stop German operations.
The Chilean government urged that
the earnest and the united support of
the American government.
Emphasize Dangers
Originally Great Britain and France
asked the United States to exercise it's
good offices with Ecuador and Co.
Iombia to obtain a strict observance
by those nations of neutrality obliga-
tons. Although this controversy, ac-
cording to latest reports, Is being ad-
justed. the situation in Chile has en-
phasized the dangers to South Amer
lean republics of the continued pres
cree of foreign warships off their
coasts.
Since the outbreak of the war the
South American countries have asked
the United States for cooperation In a
movement to restore trade conditions
Peru suggested neutral zone with

Atlantic. and Pacific side of the two

Another country proposed extension
of the territorial jurisdiction of all
countries from the three-mile limit to

nit coastwise trade to move unmo-
Tested. Ecuador and Argentina asked
that meeting of the governing board
OF tho Pan-American union be called
to discuss questions of mutual Interest
to all nations in this hemisphere. Chile
brought forward q plan to permit bel
ligerent ships to obtain only a suffi-
cicnt quantity of coal to carry them to
the port of an adjacent country.
England Willing
England already has shown willing
Hcss to accept this proposal, which
would amend the rules of The Hague
convention. Colombia has for sometime
followed this method in dealing with
foreign warships.
Out of the mass of suggestions the
most feasible for the present in the
view OF President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan was the discussion through the
