WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-How every
phase of American industry has been
benefited by the world war was out
lined in an official statement by the de-
partment of commerce, forecasting the
effect of the conflict on the industrial
future of the country.
''The blow in the face received by
American industries through condi-
tions brought about by the European
war has acted as tonic, has forced
the nation to create new branches and
enlarge the scope of existing phases
of manufacture, opened the way to
utilize, on vast scale, great natural
resources of the United States, and in
duced manufacturers and merchants
to expand their markets into foreign
fields with prospects of permanent re-
sults,'' says the statement. Continu-
ing, it says:
In a more or less uncomfortable
way, we have suddenly been brought
to recognize the unwisdom, the folly,
of shipping vast amounts of the crude
material of our farms, forests and
mines 5000 miles across the ocean,
and buying it back in manufactured
form at vastly enhanced price.
We have likewise come to recognize
the absurdity of allowing many natu-
raj products of the tropics, of South
America, of the Far East, to find their
way to Europe, and of paying foreign
intelligence and skilf to transform
them into articles of daily need in our
lives.
Inventors Meet Need
American ingenuity, adaptation, in
ventive talent, scientific attainments
and general enterprise have promptly
rallied to meet widespread demands
and establish on our own soil the per-
manent manufacture of a number of
wares, some of minor, others of major
Importance. The return of peace will
see them well rooted and able to with
stand foreign competition.
