PASSPORTS ARE REFUSED
TO COMMERCIAL AGENTS
Puts Quietus on All
Efforts of American Business Men
To Gain Trade.
By Smell Smith.

Washington, May 2l.-Refusal of
the State Department to grant pass
ports to agents of concerns in the
United States who desire to get bust
ness in foreign lands is seriously in
terfering with the volume of exports
which might otherwise bring profit to
Americans, according to representa-
tive men in industry who have as
result become incensed ut the Admin
istration.
Merchants and manufacturers who
have foreseen the possibilities for our
trade in lands long torn by war and
have noted the determination on the
part of the British and other govern
ments to send commercial experts and
agents Of producers into South Amer
lea, the Orient and Europe, have ap-
pealed to the officials of the State
Department, but have been told that
the armistice was only technical ces-
sation of hostilities, that the nation is
still at war, and that the granting of
passports is an impossibility. Various
commissions have gone TO Europe to
assist President Wilson with advice
of nations covenant and treaty of
peace, and some of them have al
ready returned in safety. In the six
months that have elapsed since our
4. he
mans on the Western Front passports
have been issued without cessation to
diplomats, statemen and laborites. But
commercial men have been kept ut
with enthusiasm while the practical
has been neglected.
AS a further evidence of this the
manufacturers associations of differ
ent States have been visited during the
past few days by representatives of
the Bolsheviki government Of Russia
in an effort to gain trade. They have
announced that they have 5000, ,000. 900
in gold with which to buy our pro-
ducts, including food and ammunition.
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, attended
n meeting Of the Illinois Manufactur-
ers' Association at which he was told
OF their presence. He and other Sena-
tors are Of the opinion that they should
be promptly arrested and confined;
that it is treasonable on the part Of
the Administration to permit them to
deal with our merchants while Ameri-
can soldiers are fighting them to the
death in the frozen north about Arch
angel, where frozen feet are among
the midst Of their hardships; that it
is either wrong to trade or to fight
with them; that it is certainly not
right to do both"
