CONVENTION IN DETROIT The Way to Establish Onr Sovereignty
 Is to Respect Mexco's, He Tells
 Audience-Win Not Serve Greedy
 Citizens Who Seek Gold Rather
 Than Respect-More Action Abroad,
 Redfeld Says.
 Detroit, July 1O.-President Wilson aroused great enthusiasm at the Worlds Salesmanship Congress today by urging that businessmen carry justice and fair dealing into the ports of the world, particularly those of Mexico, thereby establishing confi- dence in American principles. His efforts, he declared, will be to serve all America by serving Mexico herself for her best interests without using force and not to serve the few "gen- t1emen" who wish to exploit Mexican possessions.
 When the president asked the crowd what it desired at the end of all the present world troubles, it shouted: 'Peace' in one voice and then he added that his wish was "permanent peace"
 Wrong and Long Way.
 Il hear some men say he said, 'that they want to help Mexico and the way they propose to help her is to overwhelm her with force. That is the wrong way as we'll as the long way.
 After fighting them you would suspicion. Thus you would not help them. You would shut every door against you.
 ''What makes Mexico suspicious is that she thinks we do not want to serve but possess her. And she has Justification for these suspicious in the way some gentlemen have sought to exploit her possessions I will not serve these gentlemen but will serve all Americans by trying to serve Mexico herself. The way to establish our sovereignty is to respect hers' The president added that he believed in the old Virginia bill of rights which declared that a country may do as it pleases with it's own gait
 To Those Who Would "Butt In''
 This information, the president said, was for those gentlemen who would "butt in.''
 The president declared that the merchant marine, which some are "so slow in giving us'' will be a great help to the business interest of the United States
 In order to gain foreign business, however, he added, it will be neces- sary for American business men to adapt the goods to the demands of cther countries and, not try to force their own ideas on other markets.
 Salesmanship, he said, would go hand in hand with statesmanship after the close of the war
 No more patriotic nor enthusia stic reception has greeted the president re- gently than he received here. Thou sands of persons lined the streets through which he passed, and when he entered the hall te entire andi- ence arose and waved American flags.
 Action Needed, Says Redfeld
 What the United States must do to take it's share of the worlds trade at the end of the European war was out lined to the Worlds Salesmanship congress here today by Secretary Will liam C. Redfield of the department of commerce.
 The future," he said, twill not be the result of legislation but of action. American trade missionaries sent forth Will go with every resource of science and management at their command.
 We shall see, no doubt, when the war shall end, and in a measure de- pending on when that end shall come,  trade. The mere recession of prices normal at the coming of peace will affect the volume of dollars of that trade; yet with equal confidence I look for a second reaction upward in that foreign trade when American indus tries conscious of their power be- cause it rests on searching study shall send their men abroad in the in spring contest of brains and character which will wage between nations"
 Scientific education of markets by the government, American invest ments abroad and a broader vision at home, MT. Redfeld said were three things equipping the American busi- ness man for foreign trade.
 Our Record Alone Great Tribute.
 "I do not know any greater tribute," said he, ito American competing pow CT than the cold facts of what her merchants and manufacturers accom- plished without facilities for foreign trade and in competition with peoples fully equipped with them. Nor do I know any limit that we need set to the results of our competing power when it shall once receive the full equipment now being supplied to it.
 Neglect the foreign trade and so develop your domestic business that it
