WORLD INTEREST
IN TRADE MEET
Distinguished Delegates to
Gather at Atlantic City
Conference.

SO great is the interest Of the
Federal government in the Interna-
tional Trade Conference which is to
be held at Atlantic City late in Sep-
tember that the Secretary of War.
Mr.. Baker, has instructed various
representatives of the government
in Great Britain, France, Italy and
Belgium to invite tho delegates
from those countries to accept the
courtesy OF the United States, which
oners to bring these delegates to
this country on government ships.
These distinguished delegates
VIII take passage at Brest on Mon
day OF next week and one of the
pest or the government ships now
at that harbor will be put in excel
lent shape to provide every comfort
and convenience for this mission.
From one point of view these dele
gates are really special ministers,
almost ministers plenipotentiary,
Tor they have been appointed by
their governments or by the appro-
pirate authorities. Sixty in all will
be the aggregate number OF the
mission.
A. C. Bedford. who is chairman of
the executive committee of the Inter
national Trade Conference, is espe-
cially qualified for the important re-
sponsibilities which will be upon him
by reason of his long and prominent
association with the oil industry.
The honorary president of the com
mission is Monsieur elemental, who
is minister of commerce in France.
and, who is to be associated at the
conference with the councillor OF
state. Monsieur Tirman.
The leading industries of France,
at least those which are now deemed
of the highest Importance, and which
no doubt will depend to some extent
upon facilities and aid which the
United States will offer. are repro
scented by Monsieur Waddington.
I France has gained distinction as one
OF the world masters of the chemical
industry and that industry is to be
represented at the meeting by so high
an authority as Monsieur Roche.
The banking activities of France and
the food situation are also to be rep
resented
conference is demonstrated by the
selection of Silvio Crespi, who was,
as minister in the Italian war cabi-
net, in authority over food control.
Pho PerrOne. who represents the
largest ship yards as well as the
chief metal manufacturers Of Italy:
Cassini. who is president of the
Union Of Chambers of Commerce Of
the Kingdom: the mayor of Paler-
mo. TaGliavia, is a member of the
mission appointed by the Italian
government Belgium is to be rep
resented by five citizens of that
kIuSdom who are leaders in the
most important of the Industries Of
Belgium.
As a whole this conference will
take rank as probably the most
important gathering of men of very
great ability who are to discuss
present day questions and the rela-
ton of the United States to them.
