DUTCH READY FOR WAR
Holland in Constant Fear of Being
Dragged Into Maelstrom.

London, Dec. 15.=Premier Cort~ van
Der Linden, addressing the lower
house of the Dutch parliament yes
terday, said that the Dutch govern
ment still believes that there is dan
ger of Holland being dragged into the
war according to a dispatch to Reut-
ers from The Hague. The premier
was speaking on the budget and said
that the country's munitions supply
had considerably increased and was
daily increasing and that, in view of
the international situation it was I'M
ayoidable that sufficient military
forces be kept at the immediate dis
posal of the government.

Appeal For The
Combination of
Small concerns

NEW ORLEANS, Jan, 2S.-The
smaller American manufacturers
should be allowed to combine in ord
er to create a demand for their pro-
ducts in foreign markets, according
to L. S. Smith, of the American
Laundry Machine Company, of Gin
cinnati, who addressed the Third Ma
tional Foreign Trade Convention here
today.
Some plan must be worked out by
the smaller manufacturers" he said,
(which will permit of their forming
of associations for creating foreign
demand for their products before
they may hope to share largely the
benefits of foreign trade. Some means
permitting the formation of combina-
tons among concerns which are COM
petitors in the home market-to en-
able them to combine their efforts
and to economically create a demand
for their products in foreign markets
must be developed, but before such
= plan can be put into working order

trust law to the regulation Of our for
eign trade we can expect few or no ad-
ditionaI associations to be formed, nor
any decided and general cooperative
movement on the part of our manufac-
tIrers. Unless the restraining laws
are modified so as to exclude their ap-
p}'cation to export trade, cooperative
measures by American manufacturers
for meeting the new international con-
ditions after the WAR will not be
practicable and must largely remain
in the region of the theoretical discus

PROPER HANDLING
Of FOREIGN TRADE
WOULD KEEP BUSY

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28.-"Coopera
tive foreign effort would keep our fac
tories running 100 per cent of capac-
ity," said NJ. A. Oudin, Manager of the
Foreign Department of the General Ell
ectric Company, of Schenectady, N. Y,
in an address before the NATIONAL
Foreign Trade Convention here today.
Since export cooperation would
lower the cost of distribution, and by
the added output, the cost of produc-
ton as WE'LL" Mr.. Oudin argued, "the
home consumer in consequence would
benefit to the extent that the manufac
tuprers were able to reduce their unit
cost" He continued:
1T is recognized as elementary that
in order to obtain the quantity output
necessary the average manufacturer
should endeavor to sell abroad reas-
enable percentage Of the total capacity
&C his plant, even if these sales do not
carry the same profit as domestic
sales. This business keeps busy plant
and men who otherwise would be idle.
n iy, nd
lean, and acts as a stabilizer to the
more important domestic trade. More
over, the practice of selling abroad at
lower prices than at home is quite gen.
orally followed by our European COM
petitors.
1.-THE actual situation confronting
American exporters is, that there ex-
lists in our statute books Federal laws
which prohibit cooperation, although
Intended solely for the protection OF
the export trade of this country.
This prohibition is affective not
withstanding that the export coopera-
ton may not be accompanied by unfair
practices, many not take in pere.
ponderant part of a given industry, anG
may not be against the public interest
"The written law which in its for
eign aspect has not yet been judicialy
passed upon, is not qualified by any
exceptions unless cooperation by non
competing interests may be regarded
as an exception.
In other words, the existing anti
trust laws, enacted primarily for the
benefit of the domestic consumer, by
pl ohibiting monopoly and restraint ot
trade, and by increasing competition
between manufacturers and producers
at home, are equally applied to the
regulation of our foreign commerce.
The net results are an impaired eff
ficency of our methods and the crea-
ton of destructive and compeei>.on
among American manufacturers in
their foreign trade.
The serious handicaps, confronting
our international trade in meeting new
conditions can be overcome, and a
very important impulse to our foreign
can be impaired by the creation of a
widespread interest in and the forma
ton of export organizations and COM
binations and other forms of coopera-
tive effort.
Pending the removal of the incubus
of fear of the application of the anti

ments to some of our enactments, for
both the Sherman and Clayton laws
prohibit such combinations"
Mr.. Smith declared that the estab--
lishment of an adequate American
merchant marine was also necessary
to foster foreign trade, ~. 3
