j, Germany. Why? From my personal ex-
perience / cay say that it was because
of lack of enterprise on the part OF
American sellers.
Americans Use Foreign Agents.
With a few exceptions, the task of hand
ling American goods was left to ineffi-
cient Americans or more often to sales
men representing English or German sup
ply houses. One large plant, where l was
acting as engineer, lac occasion to place
an order for high speed steel tools. In
| creasing the production was vital to the
company and l saw that the tool steel
used was of inferior quality. ! wrote to
the agents of a Cleveland compan to
send a representative. He came-a thor
ough-going Englishman! Though 1 had
used the Cleveland >company's high speed
steel frequently in America, this sales
man Informed me that it didn't make high
speed steel drills. So the Englishman
finally sold us an order for an English
tool.
This same performance was duplicated
in the buying of a lot of belt equipment
and machine tools. / did succeed in get
ting an American universal grinder,
doubtless because the Germans or English
could not make one.
In my work in many French factories I
have seen countless German machine
tools. modelled exactly after American
tSIliI IAlS iS IA -
boring mills and lathes.
Demand Pay In Advance.
The scarcity of American goods in Eu-
rope is due also to the method of pay
ment required. Americans, as a rule, wish
to be paid at the docks in New York.
But French concerns like to see ma
chimes installed and running before pay
ing. So the German or English manufac-
turer who keeps a large stock in France
and who is willing to install his machine
before being paid gets all the trade.
American representatives also frequent
ly adopt the bullying form of salesman
ship. They say:
1--WE have the goods. You can find them
| nowhere else. You must buy them OF
| u.s.
The American manufacturer often comes
to Europe, seeking trade without SAM
pies. Instead of studying the trade and
bringing samples and prices, he asks the
buyers for samples and orders. He says:
II am a manufacturer; give me a sam
| pie of what you want and 1 will make It,"
So. where possible, the Frenchman does
without. And one Of the traits Of a
F~renchman's character is that he can do
without almost anything.
1 Meantime, some Americans at least
have realized the opportunity for in
creasing the American export trade. They
have obtained permission to have Ameri-
can manufacturers take part in the COM
ing exposition to be held in Paris in May.
June and July this year in the "Terrasse
des Tuileries' and the "Salle d. Jeu de
Paume." This exposition, under the pat
ronage Of President Poincaire and various
ministers of the cabinet, will be called the
Exposition de la Cite Reconstituee. Th
exhibits will include groups and details OF
all work necessary to the reconstruction
and betterment of the areas devastated
by the war.
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1916-05-03

Paris. France-In the intervals between
counting the profits on war orders. doubt
less some American manufacturers are
asking themselves the question, What
shall l do when the last war order has
been flled?"
AT present the influence of American
industrial resources is only beginning to
be felt upon the munition market. The
bulk of the orders placed months ago is
just beginning to be delivered, because eN-
pensive machinery had to be built before
the first steel projectile could be put
through its 80 or more operations. Amerl-
ca right now is supplying only a small
percentage of the munitions being con-
suned by the belligerents. This percen-
tage is going to increase to proportions
more huge than most persons realize.
Today the allies have practically
reached the limit of their capacity. All
available factories that are properly
fooled are now working day and night,
turning out war supplies. New factories
ever are being built, equipped and manned
with workmen taken from the army
ranks, though 1t is almost impossible to
find tools for these new factories. Pat
riotism IS such that the efficiency of the
factories is much higher than in time
of peace.
Must Get Munitions Outside.
However,, the mobilization of all their
resources and the stimulated efficiency of
the workmen will not suffice for the allies
needs. France will never have enough
ammunition for her own guns. Further
battles and further death totals are going
to call men from the factories In order to
fill the thinned ranks of the armies in the
trenches.
Automatically the resources of the bel
ligerents will be exhausted. France now
ia cut off from her coal and iron supply;
two-thirds of her blast furnace are work.
ing for the enemy or are within the zone
of operations, and hence stopped. With
increasing needs and decreasing resources
the allies must turn to the neutral coun-
tries. So. to speak comparatively, Ameri-
cas- trade with the belligerents is just be-
ginning. But this industrial imitation will
only increase the number of Americans
who will ask themselves the question,
What shall l do when war orders stop?"
Opportunity When Peace Comes.
When peace is signed in Europe there
will be a struggle to resume the inter-
rupted and perhaps disrupted social activ-
ity that existed before the war. Devas-
tated areas must be rebuilt and reculti-
waited. A destroyed town means that
everything has been destroyed except the
spirit of the inhabitants. who will return
and who will reconstruct their f1resides.
Everything necessary to human life will
be needed. Workmen will be lacking in
the factories n OF the farms. They
must be replaced with improved machin-
cry and agricultural appliances. Worn
out equipment will ave to be replaced
and special machinery will have to be
made.
The opportunity for America is great
now: 1t will be greater for several years
after the war. But this opportunity has
always existed, perhaps not so apparent.
and America failed to seize 1t. Europe
has always been a big market. but the
demand has been filled by England and
