PROGRESS MADE IN
AMERICAN EXPORT

Pittsburg, Jan. 27.-Notwithstandin
much adverse criticism of American
export practices, blunders in Amerl-
can expectation are the exception and
not the rule, according to a report on
Examples of American Export En-
terprise" which the National Foreign
Trade Council submitted to the fourth
National Foreign Trade convention
here today.
Certain American consuls, CONNER
cial organizations and banks have
done useful service in sharply calling
attention to specific derelictions on the
part Of Americans In export trade"
says the council, but these specific
complaints have become the basis for
generalization highly discreditable to
all American foreign trade" The
charge that Americans do not know
how to pack their goods for export is
one "unfounded" charge that is so
widely prevalent as to be positive
hindrance and 1t is the argument large
ly used by foreigners against Ameri-
can products.
