HOPE FOR TRADE
OF the United States Lies In Organ
king Industries Like Europe,
Says Hurley.

New York, March 1l.-Edward N,
Hurley, vice chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission. speaking before
the New York Trade Press Associa-
ton, said in part:
industrial preparedness, foreign
trade and more efficient methods of
manufacture seem to be the most i'm
portant questions before the American
people today.
"Mobilizing of American resources
means simply organizing to achieve a
common purpose. 1t does not mean
expansion.
81 hope, now that our business has
become normal and our factories are
running on full time, that our manu-
facturers will place capacity ahead of
expansion. l hope that, instead of
rushing to build additions to their
plants, they will ascertain that their
present equipment has reached the
maximum of day work, and then de-
velop the night shift, so that every
piece of machinery will be working to
its limit. There has been over anxiety
to enlarge our industrial plants before
we have worked our present equip
ment to its capacity. Enlargement
frequently leads to overproduction.
If we can stop this overproduction we
will have a surplus of money to in
vest in foreign countries, instead OF
having millions tied up in plants run
ming on short time.
There is no question more impor-
tant to ponder at this time, in con-
sidering the betterment of business
conditions, than that of foreign trade
Conservation is the handmaiden OF
prosperity so far as our foreign trade
is concerned. The owners Of our vast
natural resources are the trustees OF
the American people. When they sell
tehir raw products at ridiculously low
prices they are violating their trust
for ruinous waste brings nothing in
exchange.
"a combination of German metal
buyers controls the world market for
copper. lead, zinc and ether metals. II
has subsidiary companies and owns
mines in many countries, including the
United States. II has compelled our
producers to sell copper to foreign
buyers at lower prices than to our
home users, being able to do this be-
cause it deals with our producers as
individuals and plays one against the
I other.
"a combination of English brokers
controls the price of coal supplied tc
foreign vessels bunkering at our
ports, and compels our coal miners tC

sell to those foreign interests at lower
figures than are charged our own man
ufacturers.
When conditions arise to threaten
waste of the natural resources Of our
commercial rivals, prompt remedial
measures are undertaken. In Germany
the government has encouraged a
combination OF the potash miners, as
a result of which the unbridled com
petition formerly existing has been
curbed, definite prices have been fixed
on the product sold to foreign coun-
tries, and this great natural resource
has been conserved in the interest of
the German people. We have an OPP
portunity to do for our resources the
same that Germany has done for her
resources Under normal conditions
we send 1000 tons of phosphate rock
to Germany every day Of the year
DO we follow the wisdom of Germany
and give her a dose of her own medi-
cine by combining our producers,
charging the prices we ought to and
conserving our limited supply of this
vital natural resource? No. We are
selling the best we have as fast as
we can at Europe's price.
"When we buy abroad we are at the
mercy Of the foreign seller and when
We sell abroad we are at the mercy Of
the foreign buyer. The reason is that
the European industries are organized
scientifically to capture foreign trade
and get all there is out of 1t. Our
method of disposing of our natural
products, containing our valuable raw
materials and constituting the chief
wealth of our country, should be
stopped by the adoption of some prac-
teal, reasonable business method
Our buyers, seeking materials in
foreign countries who formerly had a
free competitive field from which to
receive bids, now find that the great
manufacturing industries have been
formed into combinations; and bust
ness has to be done with a central
selling agency. But when the foreign
buyer seeks material in the United
States he finds an unsystematized
market, with scorse or hundreds of in
dividuals ruthlessly cutting prices in
bidding against one another. If the
American manufacturer and the mer-
chant are forced to purchase their
material abroad at a higher price be-
cause Of the elimination # the old
competitive system abroad, is IT fair
that our business men should be sub
iected to the ruinous features of the
old system in foreign trader"

Wilson and Hughes

ton of Justice Hughes as the
republican candidate for presi-
dent against Mr.. Wilson. During
the 1916 presidential campaign,
at least, the American people
would have to think with their
brains and not with their lungs.
1t has been 20 years since the
country did any straightforward
political thinking. For 16 years,
under the Bryan leadership, the
democratic party was given over
to words and emotion. The re-
Z publican party has had a CORES
ponding period of Roosevelt brag
and bluff and bluster. Roosevelt
and Bryan are takers, not think
ers Neither of them ever I'm
derstood any public issue that he
advocated or opposed. Neither
of them ever did or ever could
appeal to the sober sense and
sober judgment of the American
people.
That is something Mr.. Wilson
can do. 1t is something Justice
Hughes can do. 1t is something
the American people need, and
need imperatively. democracy
that is not capable of hard, close
reasoning about its public affairs
is in a bad way, and the loose,
haphazard political opinions of
the average American are a much
greater menace to the country
than is any foreign power.
Mr. Wilson has done a great
deal to re-establish the habit of
political thinking, but the job
will never be finished until both
parties are under a leadership
that is both sane and intelligent.
The test of the republican
party is soon coming. Where
the rank and file has had a chance
to express itself it has shown q
decided preference for mind over
noise. But the final proof must
be found at Chicago.
Roosevelt's Rough Riders are
now making their last drive
against the Hughes candidacy.
They have . campaign fund that
Mark Hanna would have con-
templated with respect, If not
With envy. They are rounding
up all the former Office holders
who held place under Roosevelt
and are not likely to get back
into place under anybody else.
Another band wagon demonstra-
ton is to be made Of the Roose-
welt popularity in the hope that
if the republican nomination does
go to Justice Hughes it will 90
in a way that makes acceptance
impossible. Then will come Mr..
Rooseyelt's opportunity to do
business with the Old Guard.
Perhaps the Rough Riders will
succeed. Without principles or
issues or a recognized leader, the
republican party is deficient in
imagination and inirm of pur-
pose. Too many third-class men
are in control of it's affairs. and
the interests back of it are so
sordid that they can see nothing
beyond the almighty dollar. To
them Huges is an unsafe propo-
sition, little more trustworthy
than Wilson. The man does his
own thinking and gives his own
orders, and that is supposed to
be bad for the organization. It
is also supposed to be bad for
business. There is nothing that
business is so suspicious of as
brains in government, which ex-
plains the Wall street attitude
toward both Wilson and Hughes.
Yet we shall continue to think
that what the United States re
quires most Of all is not less
brains. but more brains. in its

What Do You Know
About The Maxwell Car?

"HIS Is the time of the year when more
people are considering the question Of
what car to buy than at any other time
Of the year.
This community has Is full share Of people
who will soon be driving their first car or : new
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max
well Cars to a great many of these people-des
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell.
The generous value offered in the car Is 50
evident-iss past record is SO full of good perform
ance-owners speak so well of it-that when the
buyer knows these things, he is eager to buy a
Maxwell.
In order to tell as many people As possible
about the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going
to spend a lot Of money in the next few weeks in
this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those
who do not know them.
The reason-we want to sell a. many Max
wells = possible this season. Our future allot-
ments win depend upon how many Maxwels we
sell now.
You may nov that the Maxwell market IS !
