HOLDING THE NEW TRADE.

What American manufacturers must do In
order to hold and develop their newly acquired
trade in foreign markets has been stated many
times, and by no one more clearly than by W.
S. Kies, vice president of the American Inter
national corporation. In AN article on 'sThe
! War and South American Trade, - Mr.. Kies
says that responsibility for the continuation of
! the growth of our share of the import trade of
South America will rest chiefly with our manu-
facturers. They must fight to retain the new
lfoothold they have gained .'They must make
the quality of their products as good as the
best: they must sell at as low price do their
/ rivals and as accommodating terms: they
must fill the fields with alert, tactful statesmen
speaking the language of the country IN which
they operate, and must keep them continually
II the field, thus assuring improved service
and sales, with increased acquaintance with the
people and their requirements. F" All this might
seem so obvious as not to require formal state
ment, were it not for the fact that some of the
rules now declared necessary were ignored by
American exporters in the years before the war
In those years our commercial and industrial
rivals were building UP profitable trade with
South America, and they found it to their great
advantage to do then what Mr.. Kies says our
manufacturers must do after the war if they are
to make Roadway against new competition.
yelopment of both the export and import trade
Of this country with South America Before
the war. according TO figures presented by Mr..
kies, the countries to the south took from the
United States from thirteen to sixteen per cent.
of their imports. The percentage increased to
eighteen per cent. in 1914 thirty four per cent.
in 1915, and thirty-six per cent. in 1916 1t is
estimated that it rose TO fifty per cent, last
year It is 10 our interest to increase our ex-
ports Of manufactures, and the South Ameri-
can market is specially valuable to us because
it makes heavy demands upon our manufac-
tured products.
Not less important than Mr.. Kies' statement
Of what American manufacturers must do to
hold their South American trade is his conclu-
sion that none of the countries which formerly
had share in the import trade of South Ameri-
ca viii abandon that field after the war. In
their effort to regain the trade they have lost,
they viii work harder than before, and it would
be foolish to assume that they had lost any of
the skill which made them successful traders.

A radical readjustment of the

said Chairman Hurley yesterday.
We will undoubtedly notify a num-
ber of the yards which are not
properly producing. that they can
expect no further contracts from
US.
They've had a chance. and either
because of poor management or
other reasons they've failed to pro-
duce. Some have fallen behind
schedules; others have made ships
at so high a cost they've not made
a proper profit. In either case
they've taken a lot of the boards
I time in trying to straighten things
out that should have been spent
where it would have shown more
results.
We're after production now. And

WAR SAVING PLEDGES
MUST BE MADE GOOD
d. c. People Reminded Pledges
Are Solemn Promises to Pay.

Washingtonians are being re-
minded that war savings pledges
made in connection with the June
drive are solemn obligations or
promises to pay" made to the gov
eminent and that there remains
now little more than two months
in which to redeem these pledges.
1t is pointed out that part of the
governments financial war program
depends upon the receipt of every
dollar from this source.
Check-Up In Progress.
A systematic "Check-up" on these
pledges is now being made through
the various selling agencies. Thou
sands have been turned over to the
local post office and various banks
and account is being kept of indi-
vidual purchases which are credited
as they are made on the reverse
side of each pledge. so they can be
readily compared with the amount
originally Pledged. In many cases
purchases. it is found. exceed the
pledges. AS all payments must be
closed before December 81. active
steps are being taken to reach de-
linquents personally and impress
upon them the necessity for prompt
action.
