PREDICTS WE WILL
SUFFER AFTER WAR

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27.-Predict-
irg a period of "feverish activity in
this country during the continuance
Of the war, and upon it's close a pros
tration of the industry and commerce
Of all countries" Alba B. Johnson,
President of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, in the opening address at the
Third National Foreign Trade Con-
yention in New Orleans to-day en-
phasized the necessity for a truly ma
tional foreign policy trade policy
which would prepare the United
States for the keener competition ex-
pected to prevail in the world mar
kets after the war. He said:
1T will be necessary for us to learn
teamwork, by which is meant CORE
lation of the efforts of manufacturer,
marchant, banker and investor Hith-
erto our bankers have been reluctant
to enter the field of foreign finance,
commission houses have too fire.
quently been free-lancers, pushing
trade along the lines of least resis-
ance or not in such way as to create
permanent and reliable trade. Our
have had to fight sim
g'e-handed for their foreign trade,
ard it is wonderful how well they
have succeeded in view Of the condi-
ticn of competition which they had to
meet.
The creation of the Federal Trade
Commission must prove to be of
great benefit to our manufacturers
and exporters. 1t is studying with
minds free from prejudice the compli-
Gated problems which affect our ex-
port trade, and am sure they will |
remove any doubts as to the rights Of
to arrange for combina-
tons for foreign trade such as are
lawful for their competitors OF other
nations"
Mr., Johnson called attention to the
possibility of economic alliances
among theose countries which had
united their fortunes for war, and
upon the possible adverse effect Of
such policies upon the trade Of the
United States.

Auto Touring

People go touring in pedestrian
chasers just so they can come roll
ing back in the old home town and
startle the natives with other ban
ners of other cities hanging all over
the gas eater like a clothes line at 9
o'clock Monday morning.
This is music to the auto-tourers'
ears:
why, Henry, jes' look where
they've been, GoofVille, Omelette-on-
the tie, ~Oniondale, Bugburg an all
over =
And, of course, a Pixies Peak ban
ner; no auto-touring party is COM
plete without a Pixies Peak banner
dangling in the zephyrs even if they
only did 60 as far as Hammond, Ind.
Auto touring is just one toll after
another. And it's some graft, too.
All a guy has to do is to take a switch
and when he hears a chugger come
rafting along the highway shove the
switch and yell "To1%
Then he goes up and collects at
least a twin jitney.
It's easy money, Eddie, even easier
than the way it's extracted in auto
repair shops.
