In liberty-loving America nearly

ages of 10 and 1 8 years are work.
ing in mines, factories, sweatshops
and mills, according to Miss Jo-
sephine j. Eschenbrenner, q
young Brooklyn social worker,
who has worked her way from a
factory girl at the age of 13 to
the position of membership secre-
tary of the National Child Labor
Committee.
Miss Eschenbrenner has come
to the Pacific Coast seeking sup
port for bill to be presented to
congress in December to prevent
child labor products from being
shipped from one state to another
under interstate commerce regu-
lations.
Since Miss Eschenbrenner
climbed out of the slavery of child
labor by her sheer grit, studying
at night school and learning Ste
biography, she has had only one
big purpose, to better the condi-
tion of 1000, 900 children.
Now she is fighting for the
keating-Owen child labor bill,
which will come up at the next
session of congress. 1t was pass
ed last year by the lower house,
but killed in the senate.
"There are just 1000, 225 !.

of these children are between 10

"Of our 28O industries, 243 en-

chicago, Boston, Baltimore
and Philadelphia are also hotbeds
of this sort of industry.
Conditions in the cotton mills
of the south are appalling. The
morale of whole states full of pure

through child labor.
In Georgia children less than

which we cultivate the fields that are open TO
our endeavors.
During the past few months many people have an
nounced that the United States was about to cap
ture the commerce Of the world In this opinion
they have been too prone to forget that Europe after
the war will be instgated by the urgent necessity OF
reconstruction, and will, of necessity, be better or
gained commercially and industrially, because bet
ter disciplined than before, and will aggressively
undertake to recoup its losses by regaining and
tending its foreign trade. Our present advantage
will be only temporary therefore, unless at
endeavor to establish ourselves permanently in the
markets where we are now trading and create fin
ancal and exchange relations which will convince
our customers that we are not merely dabbling dur
ing the war, but are determined to build up and
maintain our foreign trade quite irrespective of
business
This is a real test. 1t cannot be done in a day,
week, month or year. 1t will require the develop
ment of an American international banking system,
thorough study of foreign credit conditions and the
education of our merchants and manufacturers in
business methods with which they are now generally
unfamiliar
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-12-06

been made toward the estab-
lishment of dollar exchange.
In the past we have been
accustomed to finance the
production of our goods.
We are now learning to
finance their distribution.
In the last analysis our ability
to create and to retain new mar
kets will depend upon the readi-
ness four investing public to
furnish the necessary capital. For
time we must continue to
grant increasing credits to our
European customers.
There is no reason, however,
why, following the establishment
of peace, we should utilize our
loaning capacity to assist in the
recovery of our competitors I'M
less there be some friendly I'M
derstanding as to the future bust
ness relation between us.

East offer attractive fields. Great

In order to stabilize exchange
We have facilitated our export
trade by granting credits to Eu-
rope to pay for goods purchased
in this country.
The public is beginning to un-
derstand that it is a good policy
to buy bonds which fundamental
ly merely represent promises to
make deferred payments with a
good interest rate, on goods, the
sale of which increases our ma
tional prosperity. 1t has been a
hard lesson to teach, but there
have never been SO many scholars
as there are today. If the les
son is learned now in connection
with our enormous exports to Eu-
rope it should make 1t easy later
to place securities, the proceeds

utilized for constructive work
abroad, work that will assure a
continued, not merely a temper.

goods.
Branch banks have already
been opened in South Amer

interest in the far east.
Thanks to the rapid develop
ment of our discount market,
considerable progress has

secure not only an attractive re-
turn on our Investments, but
should use these instruments to
obtain the greatest return possi-

The installation of this inter-
national banking system, and the
education of our investing public
to the point where they appreci-
ate the vital relation of foreign
loans to our foreign trade are
matters of primary importance.
To realize the full possibilities
of our present situation, we must,
by our readiness to purchase for
eign securities of one sort or an
other, be able to extend to for
eign purchasers of American
goods the accommodation which
in the past they have obtained
in the markets of Europe.
Our people have not been ac-
customed to purchase securities
of this class. They have not
known much about Russia or
Chile, Argentina or Brazil. But
they have ben learning at the
most extraordinary rate. We
have already in the last Is
months handled millions of dol
lars of foreign obligations of dol
lars of foreign obligations.
In addition to the recent An
glo-French credit transaction, Ca
madam, Argentinian, Cuban,
French and Bolovian issues have
been successfully placed in our
markets.
