AMERICA s TRADE

Acting Secretary of Commerce
Believes Blockade Will Not
Interfere With Exports.
international News Service:

international News Service:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.-Great
Britain's plan to tighten her block
ade against Germany may create a
new problem TO perplex American
diplomacy. but the added restriction
imposed probably will not have the
effect of reducing to any great ex-
tent the trade of the United States
with neutrals. according 10 the view
expressed today by Acting Sec'y or
Commerce Edwin T. Sweet.
"England's action brings us face
to face with another situatiOn-the
possible dangers of which to Amer
lean trade cannot be definitely fore
told at this early stage, but 1t is in
conceivable that the nations COM
merce shall suffer greater hardships
through the stoppage of shipments
not intended for Germany, the sec
rotary said
The expected declaration would
first be felt most seriously by Nor
way and Sweden. Shipments TO these
countries will most likely be sub
jected to more rigid inspection. and
trade with those nations mag be
slightly impeded. England suspects
that a great deal of the goods des-
tined TO these two nations finally
gets through TO Germany.
1T is utterly impossible TO dis
prove these in the absence Of rec
crds. but it is unfair for Great Bri-
tain to assume that the greatly in
creased purchases made in America
by Norway and Sweden are being re-
shipped TO the capital powers.
THE scandinavian countries for
merly traded in markets now cut off
and were compelled TO come to US
for goods. 1t is true that Sweden
bought $4,000 600 more from the
United States in 1915 than she did in
1914, and that NOrway's purchases
jumped from approximately $l3,-
600. 900 to about $4O,OOO,OOO. Den
marks trade increased by about
$50. O0O,0 900 and Hollands by about
S4O,OOO,OOO. But it must be remem-
bered that the nations had 10 come
TO us for supplies they formerly got
from Germany, which now needs all
its goods for its own markets.

in a buggy were swept from the
state highway and drowned.

LOwlands May Suffer.
Although the storm abated today
the flood waters from the numerous

was feared that these sections would
suffer further damage.
Flood waters were carrying great
quantities of silt into San Pedro. the

of the harbor commission, said con-
ditions were worse than two years
ago, when more than 3.0O0,0 900 yards
of silt was washed into the harbor
by storm waters.
a number of southern California
cities faced a food shortage and
strenuous efforts were being made

Railroad officials said that the
damage from the storm was the
most severe in many years. 1t has
been years since the railroads and
telegraph companies have faced
such a stress of weather conditions
