WATERWAYS MEN
Cain NEW SUPPORT
Congressman Moore Predicts
C. and D. Canal Will be
Acquired by U. S.
Mr.. MILLER WILL
PRESENT ONE BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-That the
acquisition Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal will be considered in
connection with the administration
plans for preparedness is the predic-
tlon OF Congressman J. Hampton
Moore, president Of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association.
We will have more supporters this
session of Congress-" said Mr.. Moore
yesterday, than we have had hereto
fore. Senator Salisbury of Delaware
has indicated his purpose to introduce
Chesapeake-Delaware Canal bill i'm
the Senate, and l know OF at least
four bills that will be introduced in
the House. Mr.. Linthicum OF Mary
land, will present one of these. Con-
gresham Miller Of Delaware. will also
have bill. and 1 will have another.
In addition, Congressman Bennett.
of New York, has drafted a bill which
proposes a bond issue to construct the
waterways advocated by the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association across
the Delaware Maryland Peninsula and
also a long the line OF the New Jer-
sey Ship Canal.
1T is high time Congress took cog
nizance Of these two important pro-
Jects. We have needed them so long
for commerce that they ought to be
taken over and improved on that
ground alone. Give them to the peo-
pie for commerce and they will al
ways be ready for war. Unless our
preparedness friends give heed to
this suggestion, they are likely to run
up against a snag."
Congressman Moore said he had
been receiving numerous complaints
lately from shippers who find the
railroads unable to accommodate
them. One of these, he said, had
been referred to him by the Secretary
OF Commerce. II referred to the in
ability of certain cement manufactur-
ers in eastern Pennsylvania TO get
their product to New York, and com
planned that the canals were not OPEN
ed to help them out Of their dilemma
He also said the railroad embargo on
New York was affecting Philadelphia
seriously, and there must be some re-
lief.

j. 5. LEADS WORLD
As EXPORT NATION
New York City Bank Fig
ureS Show II Has Passed
Great Britain
CANADA ALSO
is PROSPERING

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Indications
are, according to statistics made pub
lie by the foreign department Of the
National City Bank that the United
States during the current year has
become the leading export nation Of
the world, surprising Great Britain
our nearest competitor by something
more than double the value Of her
exports during 1915.
For eleven months, ending Decem-
Der / the total value of exports from
the seventeen principal ports Of the
United States was S3,145000, 600,
against 705,000.000, the estimated
aggregate value of Great Britain's ex-
ports. This compares with 81 1,966,Sl2,-
000 the value of Great Britain's ex-
ports in 1914 and 1881, 1890 for
the United States in the same year.
For 1913. more like a normal year,
Great Britain's exports were S2,345,-
100000 against S2,317,S12, 600 for the
United States.
English Trade Drops.
England's 1915 commerce, as II Is
now estimated. compares unfavorably
with her shipments In 1918. For ten
months OF this year her imports we're
5000, 900 larger and exports S400,-
0O0. 900 smaller than I'm 1913. This,
however. takes no account of the inn
ports OF actual munitions OF war,
which do not appear in the Board OF
Trade returns
Contrary to expectations. Russia
shows a heavy reduction In both eX-
ports and imports. For Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Belgium and Tur-
key there are no returns. Franco
shows a large increase in imports OF
horses and foodstuffs, a fall IN i'm
ports of manufacturins materials and
o decline In exports of manufactures.
In Canada, Australia Argentina
and Uruguay there were increased ex-
ports OF grains. meats and wool. Egypt
shows a decline both in imports and
exports, as does India, while South
African sales Of diamonds and ostrich
feathers dropped. Spain increased its
exports OF copper. iron. olive oil and
manufactures.
Canada is PrOspering.
The foreign trade Of Canada has
prohted something like that of the
United States as a result OF the war.
In the seven months ending October
81, the value of exports of Canadian
products were $326.43OOOO. or about
more than in the same
months OF 1914, and $50. 1880 900 more
than in the same period in 1913. I'M
ports have declined from $500. 900
in 1913 to 1858, ,1O7 900 in 1915, convert
ing an adverse balance of S145,000.000
into a favorable balance OF S73, 1923 900.
The commerce OF Japan with the
rest OF the world has grown. The fig
ures Of trade OF eight calendar months,
ending August 81. show aggregate
sales OF Japanese products abroad as
against S207, 10000 i'm
the same time last year and S1S6,4S1
$50 in 1913 August's exports were
IS7759,S33. against $21 ,491 ,364 in the
same month in 1914.
Japanese imports in the eight
months Of this year were S1S4 4.994.5 .532,
against S233,53S596 last year and
s256.759.242 in 1913. In 1913 Japan's
foreign commerce was two and
quarter times what il was in 1903,
seven and two-third times what Il was
In 1898. and twenty-five times the vol
1me OF thirty years before.
