A speech OF, W. G. Downs, for
many years an exporter and inn
porter and resident In South Amer.

told how to win South American
trade and also spoke OF winning
trade in the South Pacific.

With the government active

attaches. with various organizations
energetica1ly promoting foreign
trade, export journals turning out
interesting articles, with the rail
roads specializing in export traffic
management, national banks estab-
fishing foreign branches, and the
extensive over-sea organizations of
the export commission houses,
coupled with the, friendly disposi-
ton of large American Transports
tion intrenches abroad, Mr.. Downs
declared that there was no excuse
for an Americans manufacturer not
to be able to ascertain whether his
goods are suitable for any particu-
lar foreign market. He warned
manufacturers tos save themselves
trouble by first determining wheth-
er their product is available for
use in such markets.

maintaining branches ond sales orr
ganizations abroad were, as. q rule,
too heavy except for large; crgaui-
