BENEFIT
IN WAR time BOOM
Exports Reach $es, s37, 1873, Largest
in History, Gen. Mcintyre
Reports.

War conditions continue to affect the
foreign trade of the PHILIPPINE Islands.
says Maj Gen. Frank Mcintyre, chief
of the bureau of fnsular affairs, in his
annual report to the Secretary of War.
The effect, he says. is shown princi-
pally in reduced imports; on the other
hand, under war prices and the gem
eral stimulus to increased production,
exports are maintaining new high
record. The export total Of $69.937,1s3
was by far the largest in the history
of the islands.
High prices and a slightly larger pro-
duction resulted in an increase of s16.-
124,179 over the figures of 1915, and a
remarkable showing of % per cent over
the highest value ever before recorded.
It is important. however, says Gen.
Mcintyre, to note that the great in
crease was due more to increase in
price than to increase in production
While there was a decided increase in
the production of sugar and tobacco
there was a decrease in copra and no
increase in hemp. The most favorable
feature of the export trade was the
increase of cocoanut oil.
Education Increases Output.
The increased output in minor in
dustries. as well as the increased pro-
duction of certain food crops, Gen.
Mcintyre says. was the direct result
of the educational system. He adds
increased capital will develop the OBJ
vious fact that the present labor, while
adequate to a considerable develop
ment, is not adequate to the reasonable
of the available resources
of the islands.
cnH 1af Nv
from the worldwide shortage in ship
ping. Shipments of merchandise from
Porto Rico to the United States during
the past year increased to $73.115.224.
During the same period there was an
increased demand from Porto Rico for
products from the United States.
No Modification Necessary.
According to Gen. Mcintyre, sufficient
time has not elapsed since the enact
ment of the new organic acts Of Porto
Rico and the Philippines to warrant
the conclusion from their present
smooth working that no important
will be necessary. 1t is
source of great satisfaction to the In
sular bureau, however. to observe at
this critical time that it has been un-
necessary to occupy the time Of the
higher authorities with the affairs of
our insular possessions.
1.-THE wisdom of these organic acts"
says Gen. Mcintyre. has been indicated ,
as measures Of preparation for the
present emergency. They have been
accepted by the people most concerned
as timely recognition of their rights
to self-government as an additional
evidence of the unselfishness of the
American people in their relations with
their newest territory"

Agencies Are Fourfold.

Machinery by which these promises
are to be made effective have been
worked out. The agencies involved
briefly, are fourfold.
George N. Peek, newly appointed in
dustrial representative of the war in
dustries board, heads section Of the
Council of National Defense which is
charged with the sole duty of confer
ring with representatives of industries
affected by the war. and advising these
representatives how their industries
may be converted to meet wartime
needs.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce only last week had its first meet
ing of several hundred war service
committees. Each of these committees
was named by the industry they repre-
sent. and they are to deal with Mr.
Peeks section of the Council of Ma
tionai Defense and with the war indus
tries board They form the point of
contact by which every manufacturer
IN the country may come directly in
touch with the federal government. and
get authoritative rulings, advice and
Information.
The third agency is the War Indus
tries board, concerned primarily with
seeing that government contracts are
Piaced, and that facilities are created
Where they do not exist to fill these
government needs.
TIL fourth is the Commercial Eeono-
my Board, headed by Albert W. Shaw
of Chicago. which would be an aid to
business in peace time, and becomes
doubiy valuable to industry in war For
TINS board seeks to eliminate waste in
labor, material and steps of manufac-
ture.

Erroneous Reports Circulated.

Despite the establishment of this sys-
tenn by which any industry may gain
the cooperation and assistance of its
government, there continue to be re-
ports that this industry or that is to
this sort of plant or that is to be
scrapped- 1t takes time for such a
mobilization of industry to become ef-
fective. But the Council of National
Defense and the Department of Com

educational campaign to reassure busi-
ness men of the country against the
vague reports that they are facing

DEFINITE PROGRAM !.
BACK Of BUSINESS
Government Plans to Protect
and Conserve Industry
in Time of War.
SEES NO CAUSE FOR PANIC

Within the past week final steps have
been taken in an unprecedented gov
eminent program to protect and con-
serve industry in time of war. The
measures adopted fulfill to the letter
promises made long ago through the
highest official agencies to the following
general effects:
No industry need be panicky through
fear of extinction because of war con-
ditions.
No drastic or severe action need be
feared by those industries which pro-
duce commodities in slight demand
during the war period.
No classification Of industries as es-
sentia1 or nom essential is contemplated
by any branch of the government.
When curtailment of output is
brought about by normal operation of
war time demands, every effort will be
made for the conversion of the indus
try to some war time use, or to its
gradual eurtailment if such CONVEX
sion is impossible.

dead" of night was made on the bar

TALON. All hands were turned out Ia a
hurry when the call OF the sentries on
duty outside rang out in the night air.
The local soldier boys leaped from
their cots to defend their quarters. The
enemy began to run. A chase was
started and the opposing force was
finally captured. The enemy turned out
to be nothing more than Jackson White
of Memphis. Tenn.
White is many shades darker than his
name No one was able to explain why
he attempted to raid the wooden homes
of the District soldiers. When taken
to military police headquarters he re-
fused to give an explanation for his
actions.
White is a member of the S51st Ar

duties with that organization for the
present and will cavort about the divf-

WHY PUBLIC
SHOULD SAVE FOOD
Panel Exhibit on Commerce
and Industry Shown at Ad-
ministration Building.

Why the cooperation of the entire
public is essential if the conservation
program of the United States Food
Administration is to be successful is
explained by the panel exhibits on the
evolution of commerce and industry
which are being shown visitors at the
food administration building, 18th and
ID streets northwest. The exhibit will
be shown for the remainder of this
week.
The administration prepared the ex-
hibit to teach the public how vital it
is at this time that the utmost Co
operatio be extended TO food officials
if America is to win the war The
panels were painted by Miss Elizabeth
c. Watson of New York, whose panels
on child labor in the making of will
low plumes in the tenements resulted
in legislation prohibiting all child
labor in New York tenements. The
display is under the auspices of the
office of exhibits of the food admins
