J. s. AFTER WAR TO HAVE ADVANTAGE OF
 WARMING NATIONS
European Countries Adjust ments Will Be More Severe Than Ours, With Highe1 Prices, Says Red6eld.

NORFOLK, Va.-The United State will enter competition for the world trade after the war with every advant- age, said Secretary of Commerce, speaking before the Southern Com mercial Congress.
 There is the best reason for know ing that in at least four important re- spects the end Of the war will mean calls on us for supplies which now we are prevented from furnishing, said MT. Redfeld. These demands will be for foodstuffs of many kinds, for agricultural machinery, for lumber in many forms and for credits in the way of loans and investments" Americas advantage will lie, said the secretary, in the fact that her ad- iustments from war to peace condi- tons will not be so severe as in the fighting countries.
 Tt is reasonable to suppose that foreign industries as whole" he said, will have to make a sharper read justment of product from war goods to peace goods than is to be the case with us Consider what a manufac- turer in one Of the Central Powers would face if he undertook to make up goods for stock today on any con siderable scale for an export market. He would manufacture at high rates under war conditions, with higher than normal costs, with some of his trained supervising and working staff in the armies, and with every material enhanced in price. perhaps with some supply cut off.
 This man must pile up goods so made at time when credit is costly and taxes are advancing for sale at a future time which may be distant and in markets whose current move ments he may not know and of whose future conditions no one can tell him. He may not be able to say whether styles, designs, colors and dimensions and other elements of the goods he makes will suit when the unknown day shall arrive when he can offer them for sale. Nor will he know whether in the interval industries shall not have sprung up in the place where he would sell. that will make the vending of his product there impos- sible.
 For manufacturer under condi- tions of this kind to pile up goods would be almost an act of industrial insanity and certainly not one whose existence on any considerable scale should be thoughta dangerous threat"
 Economic alliences are formed, the secretary declared, not as offensive weapons but as a defense.
 1 "These movements can not be looked upon as if they were weapons backed bv exceptional economic power. on the contrary a saner view is to re- gard them as weapons forged to over come unusual economic weakness They are not the outcome of develop ing streneth but of increasing Hss. They are created to make the best of a had situation.
 ! "Econnmic alliances may come anf go: tariff nolicies nav change: but greater things than either will deter mine our nlace in the world" he con
 rluded eff we will waste we canro' win. If we condemn the scientific n" A boastfnl adhesion to the so-ca'le" nractical-whirh hften means the ignc- rant-we cannot win either. If we n'' nntrainad minds and hands a9aine' those which have heen stilfnllv ran0h'
 we cannot win. If we persist in ienor' ing what it costs to do business we cannot exnect to cope with those who are more intellieent We cannot have our place in the sun unless we de | serve it.
 "If were asked the message which at the end of thirty years connection with industry I would leave as warning against danger. the sign post for the future path. it wonld be: Educate young people for the work of the field; make industry the servant of science: know costs and the cause
 of costs; stop wasting"
