trade. tensing their muscles with

Il The condition which obtains IN
the United States today
The zeal II new knowledge
holds out hope for languishing
American business In the foreign
held The journeys OF discovery
on the part OF the Federal Trade
Commission give promise OF 70
suits. They also promise 20 des-
troy what heretofore has been a
fruitful theme OF campaign ora
tory. but II the politicians should
no longer be able TO yociferats on
the crime OF selling goods abroad
more cheaply than al home. no
body will complain.
The Federal Trade Commission
In its journeys. to be sure. Is
merely finding out what every
body knew who cared TO be In
formed concerning foreign bust
ness: yet there Is a freshness
that charms about It's discovery
OF the existence OF the German
cartels and other combinations In
foreign countries TO get business
abroad.
The zeal OF the new trade know
ledge Is like the zeal of the new
convert. II creates an atmos-
phere OF confidence and OF mis-
sionaTy activity.
There has been a substantial
similarity in the trend OF the test
mony taken by the commission
in New York. in New England.
and in the middle west. Every
body is alive to the importance
OF expanding our foreign trade.
and nearly every body runs against
the same stone wall in plans for
getting foreign business This Is
the uncertainty regarding the
Sherman antitrust law. and the
more recent legislation.
There is almost unanimous
agreement on the need for selling
organizations which shall be al
lowed TO combine and even TO rep
resent competing homo concerns
10 order to meet the competition
OF other countries in the foreign
held. such as South America, or
the Orient.
The suggestions along this line
have been specific For example,
representatives OF hominy foods
propose that they be allowed TO
make an agreement for a uniform
export price. or TO place their ex-
port surplus in the hands OF one
company. The hardware people
be allowed 10 divide foreign terri
tory or to permit one OF half a
dozen companies which make a
certain class OF tools. to supply
exclusively a section Of this terri
tory and divide the profits.

Increase foreign business under
the present laws and form combi-
nations OF a kind which. BY their
testimony. they declare 10 be de-
sirable. Some hints are thrown
out also as TO the benevolent bear
ing OF recent court decisions.
The answers TO the questions
OF this kind are uniform-possibly
the selling agencies and other
forms OF organization which the
manufacturers have in mind
would not be held by the courts
TO be Illegal. but the manufac-
turers cannot AFFORD TO take the
chances. II has developed that
the manufacturing chemists are
