Index to War Profits.

The attention of investors has fire.
auently been called, in this review, to
the necessity of discounting the many
highly colored predictions as to the
enormous profits that were supposed TO
accrue from the orders for war sup
plies from the European belligerents.
The annual report of the American Can
Company, one of the so-called war
stocks" amply confirms the many pre-
dictions that have been made on this
score. The report shows that while
numerous contracts We're entered INTO
for the furnishing of war goods TO Eu-
rope. I'D to the present these contracts
have been a source of expense instead
of revenue: for they have produced moth
ing and have necessitated the eXpendi-
ture of over $500. 900 preparatory TO the
work of handling the first of these con-
tracts This expense has been charged
against 1915. Nevertheless. the 90
mestic business of the company mas
been such that net earnings have been
s726. 600 above that of the year ending
December 81. 1914.
Should there be sudden cancellation
of any large proportion OF these ORDERS
the opportunities for profit Will De
greatly curtailed. Wall street is IN
terested to know how far these condi-
lions will apply to other of the war
stocks. At best it was only during the
last few months of 1915 that the dellv-
cries of war materials on a large scale
were made by American manufacturers
to the entente allies 1t would not De
surprising. therefore. if the annual re-
mort of a number of other war INDUS
trials should prove disappointments,
since there obviously have been large
outlaws in preparations for profits that
are yet to come.

which has a huge investment in South
America. Germany, France. Belgium
and Holland all have large sums placed
there in various forms of investment.
whereas until recently the United
States has had but trif1ing sum so in
vested. The Importance of investment
trade may be shown in our relations
with Canada. Mr.. Farrell points out
that since 1897 there has been invested
in Canada s700.000,000 of American
capital. 1t has gone into the equip
ment of branch plants for American
manufacturers. into mining, timber and
agricultural enterprises. Whatever ad-
vantages we may have in trading with
Canada on the score of propinqulty,
ease and freedom of personal inter,
course and similarity of industrial
standards, American investment has
necessarily created a demand for Amer
lean materials, with the result that. IN
proportion to its population. CANADA
is the best customer we have.
The deductions to be made from this
aspect of the situation are as impor-
tant and as applicable to the individual
investor as to the financial and COM
mercial organizations which are to pro-
mote our trade relationships abroad /:
and through the instrumentality OF
these organizations American investors
will find a wholesome and a profitable
source of employment for their surplus
funds.

Relief Needed by Exchange.

Aside from the danger threatening
Washington's relations with Berlin,
other foreign affairs called for atten
tion by reason of the course of ex-
change Rates on France and Italy, as
well as Russia and some of the minor
European countries. pointed plainly to
the urgent necessity of fresh relief
measures, which were attended by
rumors of additional international loans
or credits. 1t is fair assumption that
this situation will be taken in hand
by American bankers now on their way
TO London and Paris.
BY their irregular trend it was evil
dent that war shares were undergoing
further revision by spectators we'll

from abroad were helpful to some of

Work Tirelessly for Trade.

There are in the United States a
eroup of men who have been tireless
in their energy and almost without
limit in their resourcefulness for the
extension and expansion of the foreign
trade of the United States. They see
in the present a golden opportunity
for the strengthening of the ties that
bind some of the worlds markets to
the American source of supply, and
for the Introduction of our commodities
into other markets which as vet have
never had business relations with
American manufacturers These men
have met in conference on more than
one occasion; have given to American
business some valuable suggestions re-
garding individual expansion in foreign
markets; and. most important of all,
have contributed heavily of their time
and resources in the actual extension
of this great propaganda.
These efforts were crystalliZed in the
third foreign trade convention, which
met at New Orleans last week. and
which brought together the leaders of
American finance, commerce, industry
and economics for the purpose of dis
cussing the new and important problems
of foreign trade. and of suggesting ways
and means for properly and effectively
promoting it.

Trade Follows the Dollar.

One of the most important deductions
of this trade convention was the neces-
sity shown for the investment of Amer
lean capital in the activities of the coun-
tries in which we hope to build up
profitable trade relationships. The
axiom that trade follows the flag has
given way to the more modern and more
accurate conception that trade follows
the dollar; and to the correct appllca-
tion of this principle may be attributed
the enormous growth of the foreign
trade of Great Britain. France and Ger
many during the last two decades.
lanes A. Farrell. the president of the
United States Steel Corporation, in
sneaking of this matter at the conven-
ton reminds us that the war has taught
our people many lessons on this particu-
lar subject and has shown us how
strongly intrenched are our European
competitors in the markets which some
of us thought lay open for our occu-
nancy. When the curtailment of the Eu-
ropean investment in the South Amer
lean republics brought their develop
mept to a standstill and reduced their
purchasing power, we had an object
lesson in the conditions precedent to
the development of foreign trade. There
was brought home to us the fact that
the British investments alone in Latin
America had reached an aggregate of
about $4.O00.0OO,OOO, which was sent
there in the form of goods of British
manufacture. The yearly installments
which went to the making of that total
swelIed the annual sum of British ex-
ports as did also the proportion of the
income that was left in the hands of
the borrowers. At the outbreak of the
war II was intimated that Great Britain
stood as the creditor of foreign coun-
tries to the amount of $4,000, OOO, 900.
or this, $9.24O.00O.000 was invested in
British dominions. colonies and posses
sions, and $3.160.00O.000 in the United
states, leaving s7.600.O00.OOO for the rest
of the world.
