need OF AMERICAN SH|PST0
BUILD UP our FOREIGN TRADE

st. Louis, Jan. 92.-James ]. Hill in a
paper on Freedom for Our Foreign
Trade" submitted to the second National
Foreign Trade Convention here today,
said the indispensable" condition for
such freedom was adequate ocean car
rage in American ships. To buy SER
vice by big subsidies was. he declared.
losing game. The need of merchant
shIps in America was almost as great
as that of other nations for munitions OF
war.
In the month of November" he said,
the exports from the port of New York
were 81, 100000 more than the year be-
fore. There was an increase of about
SOO per cent in the exports of food pro-
ducts. The foreign demand must in
crease in direct ratio with the exhaus-
ton Of supplies in warning nations. How
are these goods, which we desire to sell
and others are anxious to buy, to be car
ried to the oversee markets?
Such slight relief as was afforded by
the wise removal of the prohibition Of
registry for foreign-built vessels has
been given. 1t is hardly a drop in the
bucket Up to the week ending Deem
Der 70, 1914, American registry has been
granted to los vessels heretofore oper-
ated under foreign control, aSgregating
$50 gross tons. This is not enough to
prevent present congestion and holds
out little hope for the supply Of further
needs.
American cost of ship-construction is
from 80 to 100 per cent higher than that
abroad and according to reported
statement OF Captain Robert Dollar,
who operated ships in both domestic and
foreign trade, it costs about sl7 go more
a year to operate a ship of 8, 600 tons un-
der the American than under the British
flag. These are the disadvantages under
which our foreign trade labors.
There are but two resources; one a
merchant marine owned and operated by
the Government the other a merchant
marine provided by and tor the people,
The former just now urgently advo-
Gated, is an unwise-and would be GER

Marked Improvement in Our Foreign
Trade Is Reported.

Washington, Jan. ga marked
Improvement in our foreign trade is
indicated by the latest reports issued
by the Department OF Commerce
through it's Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, sales of food
stuffs and certain lines of manufac-
lures having been unusually large in
November, the latest period for which
detailed information is at hand. in
that month exports aggregated 206
million dollars, or double the total fo-
august last when, by reason of the
outbreak Of war, our foreign trade
fell to the lowest level reached in
many years. In December there was
further improvement, the months eX-
ports being valued at 246 million dol
lars, compared with 233 million IN
December, 1913, and within million
of the high record established in De-
cember. 1912
An anlysis of the trade figures pub
lished in the Summary of Foreign
Commerce. shows that while Ameri-
can cotton, mineral oils, naval stores,
lumber, and agricultural implements
are in less demand abroad than in
former years, there is a greater de-
mand in foreign countries for our
breadstuffs, meats, sugar, clothing,
and other manufactures, especially il:
Europe. A citation of few Of the
larger factors in our foreign trade
will illustrate more clearly this. fact.
OF breadstuffs the November ex-

trality, this policy would be followed by
the total destruction Of the private ship
ping interest. Private enterprise cannot
possibly compete with a Government
which pays no interest on the cost of its
ships and throws aside consideration of
profit and loss
What is the prospect, in this case, of
economical management, and of those
lower rates which the advocates of the
plan hold out as a bait for its adoption
We have an exact measure of the fact
in some comparative railroad statistics.
The Panama Railway is entirely owned
and operated by the United States. Like
most affairs on the Isthmus it has been
handled by honest and competent men
in their several lines. We have it's official
report for the year ended June, 80, 1913,
to be compared with the statistics of al!
the railways of the United States for the
same period. The rate on the Panama
line was 34S cents per ton per mile, as
against 1868 of a cent for all the rail-
ways Of the United States. That is, the
Government rate was almost five times
the rate by private enterprise over the
entire country.
AT the International Trade Confer
ence of the Mississippi Valley and Cen
trail West which met at Memphis last
November, the following resolution was
reported:
Resolved, that Congress be urgel to
enact maritime Legislation looking to-
ward placing the American shippers and
ship-owners upon basis more nearly
equal with these of competing nations.
thereby enabling American exporters and
ship-owners to meet the competition of
other nations in the ocean carrying
trade
Not more nearly equal but absolute
ly equal should be the requirement of
American ability and American pride;
an equality secured neither by such pro-
lection as is accorded to the weak or by
gift money in the form of subsidy, but
privilege offered to the strong that he
may conquer what is his by right. That
is the key to an ample provision of
American ships There is the necessary
condition of that expansion in our for
eign commerce which We all know to be
possible and which will be lost or won
according TO our wisdom or our folly"

CONCERN IN ENG
LAND OVER THE
COST OF FLOUR

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Jan. 10-The increasing rrice
of bread is giving Great Britain serious
concern, but it will not react appreciablv
on the cost of living of Londons moor
who exist largely onsthe stale foods that
the dealers are glad to get rid of at a
nominal charge.
Every bakeshop in London has. even in
normal times, its evening bread line.
Since the war, the number of people in
the lines has increased. Stale fish used
to find wide market, but since the
war fish dealers have bought SO careful
ly, owing to the high prices, that there
is practically none left over at the days
end. Many shops and restaurants charge
nothing for their waste, and support a
number of deserving dependents.
Scarcity of labor, shortage of ships and
heavy war risks are held jointly respon-
sible for the increased price of flour.
Floods have ruined large part Of the
vegetable farms supplying London. AMI
heavy rains caused considerable damage
in truck gardens in other parts Of the
United Kingdom.
