FOREIGN TRADE AFTER THE WAR.

That conditions brought about by the
great war win result in giving America
q place OF pre-eminence among the
commercial nations is the opinion ex-
pressed by Or. Edward f. Pratt, chief
OF the federal bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. Discussing the
new position that the United States
is coming into at present time. DR..
Pratt recently said:
The outcome OF our efforts to meet
competition in foreign trade after the
war viii rest on certain elemental
factors, Trained men; the ability to
finance foreign trade; the adoption
of a conventional tariff system; the
building Of a merchant marine. Let
us take a brief account Of stock. The
United States has made some prepar-
s,ian for peace, and there are other
planned and under way.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1916-02-23

Under the federal reserve act and
with the creation of the federal reserve
board. our financial resources are for
the first time in our history mohi-
lized for foreign trade. The federal
trade commission opens up another
avenue OF approach to the goal OF q
better and bigger business. Ne look
to il to make more stable the condi-
tions OF business in this country. and
hence better prepared. Definite. con-
structive work in advancing foreign
trade is being done by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce. 1t
stands on its record of actual, definite,
results achieved Now we come to
two arms of the service which do not
exist. but which if the public desires
will soon come into existence. The
creation OF a practical shipping board
will do much to make possible the
establishment OF a merchant marine.
The establishment Of this board is a
very important part u Ou4 pfcpdtd-
tion for peace, and part Of which we
cannot delay safely Finally, we must
have tariff board. 1t is another link |
in our chain of preparedness for peace,
and it is link that should be added J
soon.
Il. for one. believe that the United
States is entering upon a new period /
in her economic history. There was
a time when the United States consist
ed of few struggling colonies on the
Atlantic coast. She gradually expand
cd into a great agricultural nation,
and of late we have developed indus
trially and our manufacturers have
become important Now we are enter
ing upon period Of international CON-
merce when the United States will

Jacksonville People Betting A
gainst Bryan

The Florida Metropolis of
Jacksonville, the home of Senator
in the sporting edition of
May End, carried a display an
to the effect that cit
liens there desired to wager
$4,000 that Senator Bryan would
not be renominated in the pri-
mary of June 9th, and directing
the parties where to go to place
this money.
A travelling man from Jackson
vile states that up to few days
ago, when he left, he made in,
quiries about this and found that
the announcement was Legitimate
and that only 800 of the $4,000
had been taken by friends OF
Senator Bryan. From this Incl,
dent in sporting circles, it looks
like sentiment in Duval county is
against Mr.. Bryan, and a good
many people of that county must
believe that the Jacksonville can,
didate will not be reelected. We
certainly thought that Senator
Bryan's friends felt better about
his candidacy than they evidently
do, judging by the above informa,
ton brought to Punta Gorda.

Mr.. NJ. A. Warren of DeFuniak

advertisement by him. The edi-
tor of this paper knows Mr.. War
rem and knows how high he
stands in character and integrity
in West Florida. We have no
doubt but that this advertisement
will bring to the minds of thous-
ands of conscientious Democrats
who voted for Mr.. Blount in 1911
the "under-the-belt" tricks re-
sorted to to secure for Mr.. Bryan
this senatorial nomination he was
then contending for.
Mr.. Warren also very forcibly
brings out the fact that is becom-
ing pretty well known through.
out the State that the great cor.
porations of Florida, including
the railroads and the Southern
Express Company, are just as
actively and strongly supporting
Senator Bryan in this campaign
as they were opposed to Mr.. Bry.
an in his first campaign. Mr.
Warren brings this thought prom
inently out in his article and il
undoubtedly will set the people
to thinking.

which there is not the slightest doubt

that he has done nothing during that

when a Crawford was not secretary of

ty years during which H. Clay Crawford
has been drawing a salary from this
