THE food administration powers to
fix prices lie in export buying, the pow

and the further power to enter Nolun-

government agencies can accomplish
a great deal. hut it is limited absolute
" to that area Of commerce between
the producer and the retailer We are
stopped in law within this area. We
can only use influence on both the re-
taller and producer and depend upon
their patriotism.
I'm this area we can only regulate
the flow of trade and hold it to moder-

is an economic step short of price con-

Exports to Latin America.

Exports from the United states TO
Latin America have greatly increased
during the war, and for the last fiscal
year We're the largest in history Daniel
Warren, vice president of the American
Trading Company, told the session.
In part Mr.. Warren said:
We are now confronted with the
question of embargoes. Millions of dol
lars worth of merchandise ordered
months ago shipped from factories and
paid for prior to the latest embargoes
is being held awaiting the obtaining of
licenses. In many cases considera BILE
time and expense must be incurred by
the exporter in obtaining the informa-
tion required by the government be-
fore the licenses are issued.
1T has been suggested that the gov
ernment make ruling. the same as
on ship and tank plates, whereby all
goods manufactured on a certain date
and delivered to cars prior to a speci-
fed time. be allowed to go forward.
Another suggestion is that something
similar TO the British statutory list be
adopted. This, it is believed. would

trade prevent our merchandise from

speedily come to an end. But the war
is prolonged because Of the skill and
determination which Germany has
brought to the organization and CO.
ordination of all the material forces
available to her.
The United states is called upon to
do its share of a tremendous task with
a meager merchant marine. Yet, al
though IT was apparently the intention
of Congress to concentrate in the ship
ping board all the functions relating to
the American merchant marine, there
is, as yet. no unified control of tonnage.
Vessels are impressed for the Navy and
held under Navy control; vessels are
impressed for the Army and held under
Army control 1t was only after two
years of such wastage that the British
government was moved to create a
ministry of shipping with supreme
powers over all tonnage. The methods
OF this body, which have been the pro-
duct of British experience with a mer-
chant marine many times larger than
ours. may be profitably initiated by the
United States Shipping Board.
While the supply of the needs of
our allies and of our own expeditionary
forces is. of course. the first necessity,
1t would be mistake to regard this
as entirely apart and separate from
the maintenance of our neutral COM
merce. especially of that with Latin

that the situation promises to reach a

The Russkia-Volia declares the
friends of Premier kerensky in the

that the premier. who is in close touch
with the situation. has determined to

nation of NJ. Tchernoff as having a
serious influence on the congress.
Leaders of the constitutional demo-

of the Sherman antitrust act ,as ham

president of the Baldwin locomotive
works, before the war convention here
of American business men today.
IF there is any one thing this war
has demonstrated" he said, lit is that
the principle of the Sherman act will
not stand the strain of war. The mo-
ment the stress of war comes to the ma
tion we see this temple to false god
overturned. The government itself is
eliminating competition and has real
lied that business must be conducted
on a basis of reasonable profit. The
only way to reach that basis is by con-
ferences among producers"
The bill pending in Congress to per-
init combination in export trade should
be passed Immediately. Mr.. Johnson de-
clared, that American industry may act
in concert in furthering the country's
foreign commerce.
