Credit Men Approve
of Trade Acceptances

New York, March 10-The provis-
ion of the federal reserve act, for the
substitution of the trade acceptance
for the so-called open book account
in mercantile transactions is endorsed

Men. With few exceptions ESQ
members who attended a meeting of
the association here yesterday approx
ed the principle of the trade accept
ance, which is bill of exchange
drawn by the seller on the purchaser
of goods sold and accepted by such
purchaser.

deposited as they should be, will

In further discussing the South
American field Mr.. Storms states:
The Argentine Mercantile Corpor-
alton will have established itself so
strongly as q local concern, and will
offer such obvious. advantages to Ar
gent1ne merchants that it Is bound to
retain Its trade position in face of the
keenest European competitors.
I'm the past much has been said
and many reasons given why Ameri-
can merchants failed in their South
American trade ventures. The real
reason for this failure is that manv
OF the merchants in those countries
are European young men who were
that established them in business. And
the refusal to trade with American
concerns was through loyalty to their
source Of credit. Another point is that
European manufacturers would form
themselves into certain groups and
cause the organization of a bank or
financial house to be established in
these foreign trade centers, and these
banks would handle the credits of the
European manufacturers, and the
manufacturer would receive his
money, and the merchant in South
America would also receive his credit.
Realizing that the American manu-
facturer must look to himself for the
export of his merchandise in this for
e1gn market, this coalition was form
ed, and each merchant being in a non
competing line the members are as
ISOLATED together for the common
good and advantage of all; the coali-
ton OF so many manufacturers with
large aggregate wealth and resources
gives to the concern practically I'M

that we should normally nave reached

that we should normally nave reached
in about fifteen to twenty years.
Before the war we were the sec
ond largest exporting nation. Within
so recent a period as the last four
years our exports have doubled. In
1916 they added over five billion dol
lars to our national sales accounts,
bringing us into world leadership
in foreign trade. England's largest
total, when she held the export lead
ership of nations before the war, did
not quite equal three billions. Our
exports, which amounted to two and
half billions of dollars for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, reached the
staggering total of four and a quarter
billions for the year ending June 80,
1915 To day the financial centre
of the world has shifted from London
to New York and New York has be
come the leading port Of the world.
So much publicity has been given
to the large contracts for war NUM-
tons that have been placed in this
country, that there has grown up
mistaken notion that the remarkable
increase in our exports consists chief
ly in articles of war. A closer examin-
alton of the facts suggests that this
is far from the truth. Of course
now, as before the war, the bulk Of
our exports goes to Europe; but even
to Europe there has been a greater
gain in articles regularly exported in
times of peace than in exports of war
munitions.
There has also been tremendous
growth in our trade with neutral
nations. In the last two years, our
exports to Latin America have in
creased over SO per cent, to Asia over
As per cent, and to Africa and Aus
tyalia over 40 per cent. each. Thus
foreign trade has como into a new
significance in the vocabulary OF
American business men. Once re-
garded by many as little NOR than a
by-product, it is now seen to be a
dominant factor in our national pros
perity.
What Of the future? In the judg-
ment of many Of our keenest business
leaders, we will hold and will even
increase this new foreign business. An
indication Of this is shown, for exam
pie, in the establishment by our lead
ing banks of branches and connec-
lions abroad; in the formation Of the
American International Corporation:
in the organization Of many mercan-
tile enterprises for the foreign field;
and in the widening activities of such
associations as the National Foreign
Trade Council and the American Man
ufacturers' Export Association.
Most American business men are
now agreed that foreign trade means
opportunity for increased profits and
greater business stability. In all these
plans for foreign trade expansion the
need for trained men has ben M
phasiZd.
