ter to members of the House asking
that increased appropriations be made
for the bureau Of foreign and domestic

Mr.. Rhett. in his letter. said that If
the smaller American concerns are to
participate with the larger in foreign
trade. if either of them is to be sue
cessful in holding American markets
entered into during the war. it is nee
essary they should have such govern
mental aid as is freely given''y other
countries
Business Men Back Him.
BY way of proof of the fact that
business men of the country are be-
hind this appeal. Mr.. Rhett said that
the situation in all its phases had been
carefully considered in a recent ma
tional chamber referendum ana almost
unanimously Endorsed by upwards of
800 commercial organizations situated
in forty-two states. the District of Co
lumbia and Hawaii. Participating also
in the vote were the American cham
bers Of commerce in Paris and Milan.
This referendum places beyond ques-
ton or doubt" Mr.. Rhett says in put
ting the matter before Congress, the
overwhelming sentiment of the COM
mercial bodies of the United States that
the sh0nld or "a
support to American business in ex-
plotting to the full the opportunity for
the development of American commerce
furnished by the European war. We
are not in any way responsible for this
war. We are not engaged in endeavor-
ing to advance our interests at the ex-
pense of others, but we are engaged in
d most legitimate enterprise in accord
ance with the recognized rules of bust
ness and competition to benefit both
American business, on the one side. and
the countries with which we deal in
foreign trade on the other"
