the country. While no official figures
are yet attainable an indicated export
Of $1.400,000,000 in July is to be fol
lowed by still vaster volume in All
gust.
1t Is stated, in fact, that at least
that value in goods was waiting ship
ment from the eastern seaboard early
this month. in spite of the tremendous
outgo in June and July, incredible as
that would appear. The Federal
government simply records "after the
fact" while the responsible New York
publishers who have been digging into
this matter for weeks, regardless OF
costs, have advance information. So
too, have the exporters.
This Information should filter into
the halls of congress on one Of these
hectic days and then we may have
such action as the case actually de.
mands; should our lawmakers remem-
Der that they should be American
patriots before being partizan politt'
clans.
Necessities, Not Luxurles.
1t is notable that there is no great
foreign demand for Injuries and that,
aside from copper, there is no pres
sure for our metals, as yet. The abb
sorbing demand is for the necessities
and modest comforts of life, for the
very things on which our people are
c.amoring for price reductions.
For instance. in June of this year we
shipped 114,S35,626 pounds Of con-
densed milk abroad, as against 39,021,-
S85 pounds in June, 1918, when the
war was in food and the seas unsafe.
Does this mean anything as to the
price Of fluid and condensed milk, and
of every milk product, to the American
consumer? 1t surely does. We have
comparatively few soldiers over there
to consume milk at this date, nor are
we freely feeding the armies of our
Allies Just now, in great battle emer-
gencies.
Germany to Come Next.
Our statesmen and agents have re-
Gently swarmed into Germany and
have doubtless taken a world Of or
ders, to be shipped when financial ar
rangements can be effected through
American kindness and credit, very
largely.
Don't overlook the coming demand
from Germany. 1t will cover all kinds
Of raw material and cotton and wool
in quantity, particularly cotton, as
CuSIduQ Will 10 dOiC 10 snip IL d lOl
of Colonial woods. And Germany
needs leather, and rubber zinc and
copper, ever so much of it.
We trust that between them all we
shall not have to wear wooden work
shoes. but as to that there is really
no telling. Had the war continued for
another year wooden shoes would
have been in demand in this country,
and are now for that matter in HIM.
