Bands, bands, bands-the new

fur on both bodices and skirts. There
are bands Of velours de laine-white on

which Jenny Is particularly fond.
Strips of fuzzy looking angora divessi-

Sometimes, too, there is double bill

with all this preparation accomplished
and much more about to be begun. there
remains one considerable problem for
the American merchants to overcome
before they can make any progress in
foreign markets. This is shipping.
Withdrawal of all merchant vessels
from normal trade routes and placing
of them under absolute control of the
Shipping Board under the stress of
war necessity make it impossible to
get products to foreign buyers until
some tonnage is released by the board
for normal trade purposes. The situa-
tion in Europe regarding food and re-
construction material is such that the
board desires to retain control of every
vessel until the emergencies have been
passed. and it has been declared in
some quarters that at least two years
must elapsc before all the abnormal
needs of the world can be supplied,
even with the continual use Of all
existing bottoms. However, plan may
be evolved by the division of opera
tions of the Shipping Board under
which. after all vessels have been used
for several months exclusively in the
food carrying to Europe, a proportion
may be released to carry cargoes to
other parts of the world.

52 Export Bodies
Have Been Formed
BY Manufacturers
Combinations Permitted I'm
der the Webb Law Will
Go After Trade

WASHINGTON, Dec 6..-American
manufacturers are rapidly forming ex-
port associations which plan to carry
the products of the United States to
every nation on earth, to create and
enlarge demands for goods ''made in
America" and 10 furnish cargoes for the
American merchant marine to trans
port over the seven seas. The trade in
vasion of other countries will begin in
earnest when Europe has been supplied
with food and reconstruction materials
and the world gets back to normal
peace basis.
To avoid collision with provisions of
the Sherman antitrust act and the
Clayton law, the new associations are
filing statements of their purposes with
the Federal Trade Commission, taking
advantage of the Webb bill, permitting
such combinations solely for the pur-
pose of export trade. This act enables
Americans to combine their strength
TO compete successfully with similar
combinations in other countries. Up
to the present, ffty-two statements
have been filed, embracing combina-
tions of machinery and tool Makers
paper makers, lumber manufacturers
and general exporters.
New Method Advocated
AS a general rule the combinations
have been effected along the line of
trade associations-that is, all manu-
facturers engaged in producing a GER
tain article or series of articles are
banding together, somewhat along the
lines followed by the Germans in push
ing goods to all corners of the earth
before the war. Some experts believe
that this system is wrong and that the
combinations should be effected along
the department store idea--that is,
that each combination should include
one or two manufacturers of each ar
ticle and that the association should
be able to furnish everything. from
a pin 10 locomotive They argue this
system would save much expense in
maintaining statesmen and branch agen-
ciess, and that just as strong organza-
tions can be effected as under the other
plan. Advocates of the one-lne-of-
business idea contend, however, that
their system, which sends out highly
specialized statesmen to sell one ar-
ticle only and which allocates all Or
ders among the manufacturers en-
braced in the association, makes the
stronger combination to meet FOREIGN
competition only.
Not to Engage in Importing
Officials who have studied the prob
lem think the danger of an outgrowth
OF these export associations similar to
the great metalsgesellschaft of Ger
many, which controlled metals and
metal products in all parts of the
world, both in production and distribu
ton, is eliminated by provision of
the Webb bill which prohibits any ey-
porters' association from engaging in
importing activities. This is designed
to prevent or make undesirable. CON

A People Past Shame

We have no trust whatever in the
N single individual German. The
names of statesmen keep constantly
changing, but they are all one to us.
They all have behind them infamous
pasts. They are all, so far as appears,
tarred with the same brush. There
may be among the people seven thous-
and who have not bowed the knee to
Baal If there arc they are silent.
What we see, what we have learned
about the Germans during the war; is
that they are people to whom truth,
honor, common deccncy, not to speak
of mercy, are things to be jeercd at.
They are happily not past suffering,
but they are past shamc.-Brtish
