PLAN TO IMPORT
AND EXPORT FOR
VALLEY Is MADE

Organization by private capital of
a 5,OO0,O00 export and import
company to collect products of the
Mississippi valley for export and to
import products for distribution
through the valley has been pro-
jected by the foreign trade bureau
of the st. Louis Chamber OF Com
merce. Through establishment of
the government river service St.
Louis now has an outlet to the sea.
F. Ernst Cramer, chairman of
the bureau, said the company prob
ably would be organized by May l.
He expects that so per cent of the
capital stock will be subscribed by
St Louis and Mississippi valley
manufacturers Permission has
been asked of Washington to sell
the remaining 40 per cent in for
eign countries whose trade it seems
desirable to cultivate.
The proposed company is pred
icated on the cheap transportation
now offered on the Mississippi river
and upon the greater volume of for
eign. trade which is expected to
develop with the contamination of
peace.
The greater part of the exports
and imports of the Mississippi val
ley now move throw the port of
New York. The revival of the
Mississippi river traffic has had a
tendency to divert this east and
west movement to a north and
south movement through New Or
leans.
The. organization proposes to
send representative to every for
eign country where Mississippi
valley products may be marketed
to act as selling agents and also
as purchasing agents for the goods
the valley imports.
The general plan is to have the
company's board of directors con-
sist of Is business men, including
representative of banking interests
and of the foreign trade bureau OF
the Chamber of Commerce. The
company is expected to be given
power to provide for ownership OF
steamship and barge lines. If it is
deemed advisable
