Not many farmers will fail to un.
derstand that the high prices they
have been getting for their products
are due to the demand created by the
war in Europe. In ten months pc.
riod before the war began. we export.
ed $132,000,0OO worth Of breadstutfs
and oats, but in corresponding ten
months with the war in full swing we
exported the same commodities to the
value of $366,OOO,O0O.

as In the other countries OF the world
the most difficult one business will
have to deal with.
Since the outbreak of the European
war wages in~the- United States have
been constantly increasing, and 1t will
be extremely difficult to convince la
Dor it must take "a lesser wage when
trade conditions are radically chang
ed. Labor never looks upon declin
ing wage with favor, even though
prices decline - ...... ..
During the past two years our trade
with South America, China, Japan and
Scandinavia has greatly increased
and will continue to increase until the
end of the war.
But the close OF the war viii doubt
less release vast supplies OF, cereals
now bottled up in Europe and cause
a great decline in world prices, which
inturn will affect our farmers by a
lessened return for, their. crohs.s This
lessened return to the farmers will
be rejected in their smaller pur
chases, and this in turn will cause a
lessened output by; our factories.
One particular problem of great i'm
,portance is that of American ton
mage. Up to the present year Amer
lean tonnage has been almost neg
ligible quantity compared with that Of
England, Germany and Scandinavia
But the recent enormous demand
with subsequent high freight rates
has resulted in an avalanche Of orders
for American shipyards. and during
the next two years the output OF
these will be greater than ever be-
fore in history.
Germany. it is said on excellent au
thority, is building large mercantile
feet to be ready for operation at the
wars close, in addition to her fleet
interned. .as... 90. ..-
With such an influx of tonnage,
freight rates cannot do otherwise than
decline sharply. ...-... ..s...'
The old cadage, TRADE follows the
flag" has been proved a mistake:
the real condition is. that trade fol.
lows the cheapest freight rate and
the keenest craftsmanship for the
country offering its goods.
Taking long look ahead, 1t would
seem fair, to expect with the close Of
the war period Of depression caus.
ed by extreme uncertainty as to what
business conditions will be during the
first and perhaps the second and
third years.
History shows there is generally q
period of financi1f depression after q
war, but that HE exhaustion of sup
plies later causes an Improvement in
manufacturing conditions and then a
period OF, great prosperity ensues.
In the END, with our great popula-
ton and great host Of skilled mechan-
les and Manufacturers Who produce
the best articles in the world, with
the interest of our bankers and the
