WAR AND FOREIGN COMMERCE

- - . OASA<AN4N SON1uI
 This war has suddenly created most important relation of our foreign trade to the welfare of the United States. Mir farrell says that it is the duty of those engaged Tn foreign trade to see to it that our overseas commerce be maintained, as far as possible, with regularity and Tn the greatest possible volume. Undoubt eoiy MT. Farrell means by that increased foreign commerce, and he evidently has ms mind fixed upon the future commerce of the United States as that can he car-s ried on after the war Is ended. By for elgn commerce Mir. FarreI does not mean excluslveiy our sales in other markets than our own. For he calls attention to the fact that it is necessary not only to carry to our allies materials and manu- iactures which will enable them to main tam their military service, but it is also necessary to bring to the United States rom other lands all of the products es- peclaily raw materials. which are neces- sary 1T our manufacturing enterprises are to be well sustained.
 One of the most important subjects which the delegates at this convention Will discuss will refer to after-war con uitions or our foreign trade. More and more. although gradually, attention is being fixed upon the future not only of our domestic industries, but of our for elgn trade, for it is deemed almost as  important to prepare for conditions which Will arise in American industrial and agricultural life after the war as it is 10 prepare now for the war itself
 several men of high authority will ad- uress the convention for the purpose of caihng It's attention to the measures necessary for leaders in our foreign trade to take if the country is to meet the new situation when peace is restored and to hold the gains it has made in re- cent years This, Mir. Farrell says, un- douotedly involves organization in pro- auction and cooperation in marketing.
 me convention is regarded as of such conseauencc that arrangements have been made to operate three special trains, two running from New York. one by the Pennsylvania and the other by the New York Central railroad There Will also be a special train from St. Franeisco which wili bring at least 100 delegates from the Pacific coast. and there are to be special cars from St. Louis. New Orleans and Minneapolis.
