Great Britain, Says Church

Fettered
BUT WILL INSIST
ON NO LIMITATION
Also Says That Great Brit
ain May Not Demand
Return of Helgoland

I London, Wednesday, Dec. 4.-The Brit
ish naval authorities have decided that
it will be unnecessary to demand the re-
turn of Helgoland to Great Britain
from Germany, Winston Churchill the
minister of munitions, announced in a
speech at Dundee tonight.
Mr.. Churchill also said the government
had decided upon the naturalization of
the railroads.
1--WE enter the peace conference" said
Mr.. Churchill, with the absolute deter
animation that no limitations shall be
imposed on our right to maintain our
naval defense. We do not intend, no
matter what arguments and appeals are
addressed to us, to lend ourselves in
any way to any lettering restrictions
which will prevent the British navy
maintaining a well-tried and well-de-
served supremacy"
The island of Helgoland, formerly
Danish, was ceded to Great Britain in
1914. In 1890 Great Britain ceded it
to Germany, who developed it into an
extremely important naval base. 1t
lives in the North sea off the mouths of
the Elbe and Weser and of the entrance
to the Kiel canal, which it dominates.
The island was a German naval strong.

ton by the allies was under considera-
ton shortly after the signing of the ar
mistice, when the German naval revolu-
ton made it appear doubtful if Ger
many would comply with the naval
terms of the armistice. These, however,
seem to have been fulfilled. nearly in
their entirety.

Three Other Transports Are Expected

New York, Dec. 4.--The British trans.

troops, has reported by wireless that she
would reach this port to-day. Three
other transports, also carrying returning
troops, are expected to reach here this

Sunday. She communicated Yesterday
by wireless that she expected to reach
her dock early to-day.
The Orca, which left Liverpool the day
after the Lapland, also sent word by
wireless that she would reach New York
to-day, but did not expect to dock UNI

lean troops.
No word has been received from the

the stronger combination to meet foreign

the stronger combination to meet foreign
competition only.
Officials who have studied the problem
think the danger of an outgrowth of
these export associations similar to the
great metalgesseischaft of Germany
which controlled metals and metal prod
ucts in all parts of the world both in
production and distribution, is eliminat-
ed by provision of the Webb bill which
prohibits any exporters association from
engaging in importing activities. This
is designed to prevent, or make undesir.
able, control of raw materials. 1t also
is provided that the acts of the combina-
tions must not be in any way in restraint
of trade within the United States, the
federal trade commission having contin-
ual supervision over their activities and
each individual manufacturing or jobbing
member of the association being amen
able to the Sherman and Clayton acts
insofar as his domestic business is con
cerned.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce is prepared to give aid to the
combinations, in the way of statistical
and trade information about foreign
markets. Additional commercial at
taches and travelling agents are being
sought by the bureau to handle the ex-
pected increased volume of American
business and movement is under way
with the backing of the department OF
commerce, the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States and other organiza.
tions, to secure more consuls under the
state department, part Of whose duties
would be to assist in this work
Owing to the existence of long term
credit customs in foreign markets, espe-
cially in South America, which were in.
augurated by the Germans and English,
it viii be necessary for the American ex-
porters to have an agency for the quick
discounting of trade acceptances and
similar documents of indebtedness.
American bankers, awake to this need,
are moving hand in hand with the manu-
facturerse even few steps ahead and
are establishing branch banks in South
America, the West Indies, Italy, Den
mark, Russia China, the Philippines, the
Straits settlements, the Dutch East In

expected the export associations will

TO ORGANIZE
AMERICAN BUSINESS
Into Single Unit to Represent Business
in General Will Be Made at Meeting
of War Service Committees
at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, Dec. Reorganization of
virtually all industrial and commercial
interests of the nation into single unit
to represent business in general will be
undertaken at series of conferences
opening here to-day and continuing until
Friday, of war service committees of
each industrial or trade group formed
during the war as mediums for negotia-
ton between the government and their
respective business. There are more than
800 of these committees, each composed
of the leaders Of the industry or trade,
and the conferences are expected to bring
together between 1000 and 5000 promi-
nent business men to discuss problems of
reconstruction, industrial relations after
the war, raw materials and their control,
price regulation, amended antitrust leg
islation, export and import regulations,
financial supervision and similar sub
iects.
1t is planned to organize the industries
represented by these 800 or more com
mittees into 80 groups, aligned according
to interests and finally into 10 master
groups, which will federate in single
organization. The importance of this
movement, its organizers say, is that it
viii effect the largest organization of
business interests ever attempted in the
United States.
The conference was called by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, which has assisted in the organ
ization of war service committees for
each industry to cooperate with the war
industries board and other government
agencies in regulation Of production dur
ing the war. A number of prominent
speakers have been engaged for the gem
eral sessions, and each industrial or
trade group has formed its own program
of topics for consideration and of speak
ers
The principal immediate purpose of
the conference will be to determine prac-
tical methods by which industry may
cooperate more closely with the govern
ment during the reconstruction period by
more centralized scheme Of organiza-
ton
Here are some of the more important
questions to be presented for discussion

AMERICANS FORMING
EXPORT ASSOCIATIONS
Trade Invasion of Other Countries Will
Begin in Earnest When Europe
Has Been Supplied with
Food

Washington, d. c., Dec. 5-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 to furnish cargoes for the American
merchant marine to transport over the
seven seas. The trade invasion of other
countries viii begin in earnest when Eu-
rope has been supplied with food and re-
construction materials and the world gets
back to normal peace basis.
To avoid collision with provisions of
the Sherman anti trust act and the Clay
ton law, the new associations are filing
statements of their purposes with the
federal trade commission, taking advan
tage of the Webb bill permitting such
combinations solely for the purpose of
export trade. This act enables Amer
Jeans to combine their strength TO com
pete successfully with similar combina-
tions in other countries. Up TO the pres
ent, 81 statements have been filed, EN-
bracing combinations of machinery and
tool makers, paper makers, lumber manu-
facturers and general exporters.
As general rule, the combinations
have been effected along the line of trade
associations-tha is, all manufacturers
in the producing of certain article or
series of articles are banding together,
somewhat along the lines followed by the
Germans in pushing goods to all corners
of the earth before the war. Some eX
perts believe that this system is wrong
and that the combinations should be eff
feeted along the department store idea
that is, that each combination should in
clude one or two manufacturers of each
article and that the association should
be able to furnish everything from a pin
to locomotive. They argue this system
would save much expense in maintaining
statesmen and branch agencies and that
just as strong organizations can be eff
fected as under the other plan. Advo-
Gates of the one line-of business idea
contend, however, that their system,
which sends out highly specialized sales
men TO sell one article only and which
allocates all orders among the manufac-
turers embraced in the association, makes
