 O produce many of the items that are exported from the United States into the Pacific South American countries, and with the further development of their re- sources the list will be materially en- larged.
 Coal, coke and pig iron and iron and steel products compose the bulk of the ex- ports and with the constantly increasing trade that will follow in the wake of set tied condictions following peace time re- adjustments Birmingham has the oppor tunity to capture a good percentage of this.
 Other articles made or produced in Birmingham and Alabama and which en- ter largely into the trade with the west coast countries are: Wood and manufac- lures of wood, vegetable oils, cement, breadstuffs, naval stores, coal tar, stone, gravel, sand clay, tanning extracts, ex- plosives, cotton, twine, cordage and other manufactures of cotton
 Two of the largest wire mills in the country are located in the Birmingham district Birmingham foundries and ma- chine shops make machinery of various kinds and foundry products that are in de- mand in Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Bo- livia; cars are made at Anniston; steel rails, frogs and switches in Birmingham; cotton seed oil, peanut oil and other veg etable oils in various places in the state, several mills being located in Birming- ham; steel sheets and plates are made in Birmingham; cement is amde at Leeds, Ragland Demopolis and other places; sand stone and gravel are found in nu- merous places; explosives are made in Birmingham, and cotton mills making cordage twine and other cotton products are located in a score or more Alabama cities, and the state is rapidly developing the cattle industry and diversifying it's farm crops.

 Birmingham, with her trunk lines of railway, spreading out over all the south and extending into the east the north and the west, stands second to none as 8 dis tributing center for the imports from South America, and for the assembling and forwarding of exports to the coun- tries to the south of us.
 Financing of foreign trade is, perhaps the most important essential to the build ing up of such trade. This is lacking in Birmingham. The essential second in i'm portance is active and intelligent effort to get it. That requires study of condf- tions and customs and requirements of the peoples of those countries, which may be prosecuted as successfully by Birming- ham manufacturers and traders as by the business men of any other community
