AMERICA WARNED
OF EUROPE AS RIVAL
Increased Efficiency After War
Should Be Considered, Says
CITY Bank Publication.

United States manufacturers should
take account of the possibility of in
creased personal efficiency in European
industrial forces when they are reor-
ganized after the war, according TO an
article in the December issue of "The
Americas" a publication of the Ma
tional City Bank.
In the article, entitled "Superorgani-
cation of Business a Possible War
Product" it said: will Europe, or a
vigorous part of it, come back to COM
mercial competition with the making OF
better industrial organization than
existed before the war, so that. in spite
of being poorer through the wars de-
struction. some of the countries VIII
actually put on higher speed in manu-
facture and commerce than ever be-
fore?
"The direct personal interest for
United States manufacturers lies In
the possibilities of a new kind of COM
petition in trade. Europe has accom-
plished some things that used to be
thought impossible. II has been dem
onstrated that there can be an enor-
mous destruction of certain forms OF
wealth without proportional impair
nent of the productive capacity or a
nation. 1t is the productive ability OF
the most efficient of the nations Of Eu-
rope after the war that we will have to
deal with, not with the average ability
of Europe or with the measure Of its
static wealth. England, France, Ger
MANY and the others may be poor after
the war. but if effective industrial, or
canization remains any one OF them
NAV manufacture new goods in way
TO gi.e us a tussle in our own markets
to say nothing Of the export trade
without which our national prosperity
will disappear"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-12-20

tence quoted above, however, and the
publicity given 10 il in the American
press and TO the figures adduced 10
support il, render a further eXplana-
tion desirable.
apart from the unprecedented vol
ume of exports, American industry,
which before the outbreak of the war
had been suffering for over a ear
from general and widespread depres-
sion, has during the period of hostili-
ties realized another benefit; the re-
duction in exports from the belligerent
coun tries has supplied the opportunity
for American industry to replace Euro
pean products in the markets of south
and Central America. the Far East and
even in neutral European countries, SO
that the practical cessation Of direct
trade with Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Belgium and Turkey is more than COM
pensated by the opening up of new
markets.
Cause of Cotton Advance.
"Any increase in British exports Of
cotton and woollen goods to Scandina-
Wan countries and 10 the allies of
Great Britain Is largely due to the fact
that the French and Belgian textile In
dustry districts are in German occupa-
tion, while the output of the German
industry itself is considerably cur
tailed by the lack of labor for other
than war industries. These countries
have, therefore, increased their imports
from the nearest available source,
which Is the United Kingdom"
Tables are given 10 show that ex-
ports from New York TO Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark during the first
thirteen months of the war increased
SS4, 226.966 over the same period be.
fore the war, while experts 70 Germany
decreased $S4.91s.081. A commerce re
port of the United States is quo ed a.
saying that customs returns of the
Scandinavian countries all show a
smaller volume of imports from Amer
lea since the war began. The memo
randum continues:
"Now. il the customs returns of Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark show that
imports from the United States have
decreased since the war, while the Off
cial returns of the United States De-
partment of Commerce show on the
other hand that they have enormously
increased, it seems legitimate. III the
absence of any other explanation, to
assume that the United States figures
represent the amount of goods shipped
from the United States to the Scandi-
navian countries, and that the customs
figures of the Scandinavian countries
represent that proportion of the goods
exported from the United States which
paid duty and were entered for CON
sumption in those countries, while the
considerable difference represents the
amount of goods exported from the
United States which, on arrival IN the
scandinavian countries, were reshipped
largely to Germany. The fact that the
increase in shipments from New York
to Norway, Sweden and Denmark dur
ing the first thirteen months of the
war exactly balances the decrease in
shipments to Germany during the same
period is extremely significant

ing into the very markets from which
neutral merchants were barred by the
blockade.
The embassy not only cites figures
to show that the trade of the United
States in all the fields mentioned by
Mr.. Skinner has increased since the
war began far more rapidly than Great
Britain's. but points out that the Amer
lean cocoa trade with blockaded neu-
trail ports. which was particularly
singled out by Mr.. Skinner, has been
built up entirely since the war, aud
now amounts to millions of pounds a
month.
Statements have been widely circu-
lated in this country" the ambassador
writes, that the trade of the United
States has greatly suffered owing TO
the restrictive measures taken by the
Allies against German commerce, and
more especially that British merchants
and shippers are profiting greatly by
the war measures of the British gov
eminent, to the detriment of American
trade.
American Increase Greater.
with regard to the specific accusa-
ton against my government that. while
American trade with neutral countries
has been diminished. British merchants
have profted by the war measures,
beg to recommend to your notice the
figures given in the accompanying re-
port, based on the official returns of
American trade published by your gov
eminent. You will see that while Brit
ish trade, which has suffered greatly in
its general volume, has increased to a
slight extent In certain branches, Amer
lean trade has increased to a vastly
greater extent.
at may be pointed cut that British
trade does not compete with American
trade in the neutral countries of Eu-
