Commerce Bureau
To Compile World
Trade Directory
Government PreparingWork
to Assist American Ex-
porters by Supplying For
eign Credit Information

While it is not possible for govern
mental agencies to furnish American
exporters with credit information con-
corning foreign firms, the State Depart
ment and the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce are working on q
plan which will assist American ex-
porters in that direction.
Because of the misinterpretation of
statements of certain speakers at the
recent foreign trade council in Chi
cago, DR.. R. S. MacElwee, assistant
chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, came to New York
and explained the governments scope
and plan on foreign credits to the ex-
port and credit managers at the Ark
wright Club.
The compilation Of a World Trade
Directory, in which foreign firms will
be rated as to size, is one of the big
features the State Department and
the bureau of foreign and domestic
Commerce are working on to assist
American exporters and credit men,
according to DR.. MacElwee.
Cards Up to Date
"This is not a published directory
such as one might gather from the
title" he said, "but a card catalogue
directory that will be available in com
plllng list of possible prospects for
American goods overseas. A published
directory becomes old too soon and it
is difficult to keep it up-to-date. A
card directory with frequent mimeo-
graphed lists Of names according to
country and commodity will make it
possible to better serve the individual
firm. AS you know, the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce has
distributed trade lists for some time
in the past. These trade lists have
been sent in by consuls and trade COM
mlssioners, commercial agents and
other persons travelling abroad. They
have been largely copied from local
directories or other sources that may
have come to the notice Of the par
ticular officer. There has been no ef-
fort made to date, because it seemed

German Houses
Ready to Finance
Argentine Trade
r. 5. Barrett Says Demand
for American Goods i'm
That Country VIII Not
Get Back to War Level

robert S. Barrett, until recently
American commercial attache at
Buenos Ayres, does not expect the un-
settled commercial and financial condi-
tions in Argentina which are now
holding up trade to last long, but
when the situation returns to normal
exporters in the United States, no says,
will not be able to sell goods to that
country in such large Quantities as
they did during the war.
At present, Mr.. Barrett told repre-
sentative OF the American Manufac-
turers' Association yesterday, Argen-
tina is plentifully supplied with i'm
ported merchandise, particularly tex
tiles. During the war goods were hard
TO get, and the dealers ordered about
three times as much as they expected
would be delivered. With the signing of
the arrnistice there came a drop In
prices and delivery of these back
orders. Textile prices in Buenos Ayres
when Mr.. Barrett left were from 25 to
10 per csnt below New York prices.
Germans After Trade
aOne Of the mort interesting phases
of the situation" he said, dis the pres
ent position Of the German textile
houses. Argentine textile trade has
been in tho hands Of England and Ger
many for long time. At ths begin
ming Of the war the large German
houses were for the most part COM
PEELED to EQuidate their business. AS
a result they found themselves with
large sums of money on hand which
they were able to utilize in the max
ing of short time loans. Now they are
financially able to take advantage of
the price reductions and lay in large
stocks which will practically give them
control of the market. On the other
hand, the English houses have on hand
large stocks Of textiles which have been
on order for many months and which
were purchased when prices were at
the very peak. This naturally gives
the Germans q substantial advantage,
and for that reason it can be stated
that much Of the future trade in tex
tiles in the Argentine will have to go
through the German houses. This
does, of course, affect the British tex
tile trade to greater extent than it
does the American, for the reason that
the American trade has comparatively
no system of distribution for textiles"
In Mr.. Bsrrett's opinion the labor
trouble in Argentina soon will right
itself with the return Of markets to
normal conditions. There Is shortage
of ships to that country, caused by the
heavy demand for relief to Europe.
These conditions are holding up trade
now, but both are temporary, he said.
Troubles Not Unexpected
The financial troubles Argentina is
going through, according to Mr.
Barrett, were not unexpected, as they
appear about every seven years. The
last crisis was in 1912-13.
Il do not believe that the present
trouble will be as serious as others
have been," he said. There is lot
of money In Argentina. 1t is indeed
a prosperous country. Crops have

impossible to do so, to resdit these
lists according to the size and volume
Of the business of the firm. The main
object Of the World Trade Directory
as now contemplated is to resdit all
lists that we have and make new ones
In order to bring them up-to-date and
to indicate by one, two or three stars
the comparative size Of the firms on
the list.
"Lists with indications as to the
comparative size and Importance of the
firm will make for several different
types of saving: (a) 1t will save
printed matter, because many foreign
firms are circularized that are not
worth postage stamp. (b) 1t will
save useless calls Of travelling sales
men, because salesman in a foreign
city loses a great deal Of time calling
on small retail houses. (c) 1t will be
q guide to making discounts. Probably
one of the greatest mistakes beginners
IN exporting make in the United States
Is the granting of indiscriminate dis
counts to an inquiring firm just be-
cause it is foreign. This policy often
leads to the granting Of the discount
to the local customer Of large i'm
low that it is impossible afterward to
sell the big house. Excellent markets
have been ruined for certain firms by
this practice of indiscriminate dis
counts. No firm should be quoted ap
inside wholesale price until the exs
porter is quite sure that this firm is Of
sufficient size and Importance and has
a sufficient number of branches, travel
ling statesmen, or agencies to make it
worth while.
No Conflict With Others
"The bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce." continued DR. McElwee,
"ls contemplating the establishment Of
a commercial intelligence division to
aid in building up this directory, but
no funds are available. At present the
bureau will confine its efforts to re-
editing the lists already at hand
I'VE feel that there is no conflict In
this work with existing commercial
rating agencies" he said, "but we be-
lieve that by giving American business
houses good steer in going after
prospects that we can aid in promoting
commerce. However, when the pros
pect has been brought to the point of
placing an order or seems reasonably
we'll on the trade to such a place it is
the duty of the export manager to get
a commercial rating as to the credit of
the prospect. We so thoroughly believe
in the necessity Of building up foreign
credit ratings and the using of the
same that SO far as we are concerned
we are interested in urging every ex-
port manager to use the best credit ia
cilities that he can find. Giving this
credit information is not within the
province Of government agency. It is
private affair for existing credit bu-
reaus and credit associations, or those
that may be formed"
