WANT AMERICAN
COTTON GOODS
Lack Proper Selling Facilities
for Foreign Trade, Says
Government Report.

Although Bombay buys enormous
quantities of foreign-made cotton
goods. the presidency taking more
than $4,000, 600 worth in 1914
American manufacturers supply less
than one percent of the total. Our
cotton goods are more in evidence
in Bombay, however, than in Ma
dras, Bengal or Burma, and accord
ing to report issued by the bureau
OF foreign and domestic commerce,
of the department of commerce,
more attention to the market will
result in much larger sales.
The failure of the United States
to secure a larger proportion Of the
trade is due to the same difficulties
that obtain i'm other parts of India,
says Commercial Agent Ralph NJ.
Odell, author of the governments
report These difficulties. stated
briefly, are the inability or unwill-
ingness of American cotton manu-
facturers to produce the kinds of
EOOuS AlldL dIt IlOCl Nlutl1 Gull
sumed i'm the market, and the lack
of proper selling facilities for reach
ing the trade. Prior TO the war it
is doubtful whether it would have
been possible for American manu-
facturers to compete in many of the
lines of cotton goods imported. but
changed conditions in the cost of
production in countries that hereto
fore have been the chief sources of
supply appear TO have enlarged the
opportunities for the development of
our trade.
The kinds of cloth used in the
Bombay district are carefully an
alyzed in the bureaus report and a
great many practical suggestions
are made for entering the field.

For these reasons the council

situation we should not become so
Obsessed with the idea of the value

plays is not Of the greatest import

1T is easy TO imagine a condi-
ton in which no amount Of money

il is hardly possible 10 imagine a
condition in which the securing of

possession of money. We firmly
believe that it is only by careful
and faithful application of sound
economic principles that we can

nous burden laid upon us"

GREATER TRADE TO
WIN WAR, BELIEF
Full Strength Must Come from
Development of Industries
and Commerce.

NEW YORK. Dec. american
industries must be stimulated 10
nigh production and Americas for
eign trade must develop to enable
this country to use its full strength
in winning the war. declares the
national foreign trade council in a
report submitted today 10 Pres't
Wilson.
practically all the money in the
allied portions of the world, and
most Of that held by neutrals, in
time, can be made available for our
war emergencies if our production
constantly provides a proper basis
for foreign trade" says the council
The report was prepared by Lewis
=. Pierson, chairman of the board
of directors Of the Irving National
bank of New York. It viii be suo-
mitted TO the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of representa-
tives and TO the finance committee
of the senate.
1t was drawn up in an effort 10y
the council 10 aid the government
and i'm the taxation Of business pro-
fits These problems are described
by the council as perhaps the most
serious and difficult the government
has ever encountered in its rela-
tion 10 business interests.
Asserting that in an ideal plan for
price fixing and profit taxing, high
production and not low prices should
be the controlling consideration the
report says:
If the final determination Of the
war is TO be measured 20 any con-
siderable extent by the relative
economic power of the belligerents
and. of course. il will be so meas
ured-the existence of the things
which money can buy will be of far
greater importance than the pos
session of money itself"
Foreign Trade Highly Important.
That leads up 20 the statement
that most of the money in the al
lied ana neutral world can be made
available for our war emergencies
by proper maintenance Of foreign
trade For it is foreign trade. says
the report, that lis the source from
which the greater portion of our
gold must come, and from which
our national gold reserve will de-
rive its greatest security. Foreign
trade also provides the possibility
OF keeping the entire national energy
at all times employed in profitable
production by creating a foreign
demand for products for which
there would be no demand at
home"
Effectiveness of American partici-
patton in the war says the national
foreign trade council, demands the
maintenance of production in prac-
tically all lines at the maximum ca
pacity. and the maintenance of for
eign trade during the war is a most
efficient means of preventing dis
turbance of credit. insuring funds
with which TO meet the needs Of

The forgery case Of James Kocian
was called at four o'clock, on Satur-
day afternoon in Judge Edward N. Po-
mainville's court. The district attor-
ney John Roberts informed the court
that he had carefully investigated the
facts in the case by personal inter
views with the parties concerned and
that the whole matter was business
transaction in which the defendant as
sumed more authority than was actual
ly given to him but there was no in
tent to criminally defraud or other
wise commit the crime, that the par
ties concerned have settled the matter
by mutual consent and agreement that
all costs be paid by Kocian and the
District Attorney made a motion to
dismiss the case. Motion was granted
by the court and the case was dis
missed and the defendant discharged.

OF TRAFFIC

Manitowoc, Wis, Jan. 8.-Discon-
tinuance of Chicago, Milwaukee and
ManitoWoc as ports in 1917 has been
announced by the Great Lakes Trans
portation corporation, which since
1914 has operated freight line be-
tween Manitowoc and points east. The
corporation does not plan to run any
boats on Lake Michigan this year.
Lack of an adequate amount Of
traffic is given by officials ofthecom-
pany as a reason for disseminating
Of the service we have been giving"
said j. C. Thompson, manager Of the
company at Milwaukee.
The boat line was formed as a re
suit of the Panama Bill. which pro
hibited railroads from owning or OPP
Grating steamboats, in connection with
their lines. The Great Lakes Transit
company, it is said, bought most of
the boats formerly owned by the rail-
road lines.
