In anticipation of greatly increased
traffic through these parts the United
States Shipping Board has allotted
large number of ships to this service.
After that date there will be more ships
carrying merchandise to and from Mo-

ports along the Gulf of Mexico than ever
before IN the history of this country e.
It is said to be the policy of the United
States Shipping Board to divert a large
part of the export and import of the Mid
die West from New Y ork to the South At
lantic and gulf ports. There are two I'M
DERIVING causes for this new policy, it is
said. First, to relieve the congestion at
the New York docks; and, second, the
shorter rail haul to and from the sea-
board. Is b.. ..sa.,....sa
Exporters and importers IN the larger

Foreign trade must be financed. Un>
less it is financed in Birmingham it will
be financed in New York or some other

Birmingham's foreign trade, which in the
course of time will assume considerable
proportions. The greater the local facil-
tiles for carrying through the necessary
details the greater will the business be-.
The federal government, through its
department of commerce. stands ready to
help develop and nourish foreign trade
It has had special commissioner in Bir-
mingham the past two or three weeks
studying conditions and trying to interest
Birmingham manufacturers and business

This department has worked out plans
whereby information about foreign trade
needs may be assembled in Washington
and distributed throughout the United
States through daily bulletins
An export corporation in Birmingham
would get this information at the same
time it is given to other cities.
If an engine is wanted in Buenos Aires
it would be known in Birmingham tomor-

would have an equal chance with the
makers in all other parts of the country,

available to the Birmingham engine
