Foreign Trade Prospects

Reviewing the prospects for fore ign
business Mr.. Fletcher said that a
greater volume OF orders from abroad
could be obtained but for the problems
o. finance and credit, many OF the in
quiries requiring long terms OF pay
nlont extending from Ivc to ten years
As remedy for overcoming this diff
ticul'y he s. ggested the formation OF a
combination OF railroad equipment COM
p4nies and allied industries, together
with banking interests under the form
Of a fore ign railway equipment finance
corporation. rather than by individual
action by any railroad equipment com
pany.
such combination" he declared
"would be permissible under the Clay
ton and Webb Pomerene laws and
thereby AFFORD an imperative relief TO
the foreign countries requiring our
help in rohabilitating their transporta-
ton systems. The long delay in the
settlement Of peace is. in a measure
preventing the formulation of definite
plans and action tending toward the re-
establishment OF normal business re-
lations with European and other for
eign countries"

Positions Have Been Obtained for
70 Per Cent of Returned Yanks
Says Colonel Woods.

New York, June 30-Seventy per
cent Of the soldiers discharged since
the armistice have positions awaiting
them, Col Arthur Woods, assistant to
the secretary of war, who is in charge
of obtaining employment for dis
charged service men, announced.
Enlisted men are being discharged
at the rate of from 10000 to 10000 a
week." Colonel Wood said, "and only
a comparatively small percentage are
unable either to return to their old
positions or to obtain new positions
through the various agencies. The
principal centers of unemployment at
the present time are New York, Chi
cago, Pittsburgh, st. Louis and Bos-
ton. Colonel Wood again emphasized
the fact that one of the difficulties is
the unusual demand among discharged
service men for clerical labor and the
reluctance of the average man TO per-
form farm labor.
