COPPER POOL FOR EXPORTS
Trade Is Forming It Under Gen eral Policy of Government
 to Foster Foreign Trade.


 Plans are under discussion in WalF Street for the formation of a large corporation to control copper exports. It is expected that John D. Ryan, who will shortly retire as head of the Air craft Production Board, will superin- tend the details of this organization, which Is to be formed under the Webb law.
 This law permits American manu- lecturers to pool their issues in for eign trade, and relieves them from the provisions of the Sherman law, forbidding domestic combinations in restraint of trade There are many evidences that the government in tends to give greater encourag cement in the future to the development of the country's foreign trade and the mercantile marine to carry it. Com bfnations of every character will be encouraged.
 It is particularly desirable at this time that competition in copper ex- ports be eliminated and that the 1 market for the metal product be 1 stabilized. To this end all the lead. l ing copper companies have been in. l vited to join the combination. This merger is designed to offset the in. 1 fluence of large metal importing com | binations that have been formed 1T England, France and Italy. Before the war the Germans and Englisl 1 dominated the foreign trade in cop per, but London prices furnished tht worlds standard.
 It is believed that as the worlds copper industry is largely controlled in the United States, New York vii become the great copper market ant that it's supremacy will be maintaine, l through the agency of the propose, | combination.

As soon as the examined : men can have their final papers l made out, it only remains for them | to get their pay and go home. That is the last chapter of their service in the field.

vision in the order of the council Of
