LONDON TO AID IN WORK

The weekly list OF trade chances gath
cred by the United States Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce is given
below.
A worldwide organization Of bodies in
terested in American foreign trade may
result from steps recently taken by the
American Chamber OF Commerce In Lon
don. On the ground that nothing short
Of intelligent cooperation can prevent
waste of effort in the end this chamber
has invited about twenty Of the leading
American foreign trade organizations
both In the United States and abroad. 20
work out a practical plan for close CO.
operation. In this connection 1t Is or In
terest that the chamber in London be-
lieves that a sound American export
trade with any country must be based
on an interchange Of products, each coun-
try exporting to the other all those
products for which there seem most
need and least competition In the other
country.
The way in which the American dele
CATION which visited Great Britain in
May was received by representative busi-
ness bodies made 1t clear that an attempt
to bring the business men of the two coun-
tries closer together by the means OF rep
resentative delegations would succeed. II
is common knowledge among Americans
doing business abroad that majority
Of the petty Observation-Disclosures and con-
fiicts that arise are due chiefly to lack
Of personal acquaintance. 1t Is believed
that before peace Is declared suitable
time will be found for the exchange OF
carefully chosen delegations.
Addresses OF persons and firms men
toned below may be obtained through
TUE SUN. Questions regarding published
items should be on separate sheets, a
sheet to each Item and tho number OF
the item should in all cases be stated.
THE SUN does not furnish credit ratings
or assume any responsibility as to the
standing of business men or firms
abroad. The usual precaution should be
taken In all cases.
