LARGER FOREIGN TRADE
GOAL OF BUSINESS MEN

Information for the development OF
the foreign trade of this country is
the announced purpose OF the Sixth
National Foreign Trade Convention
to be held in Chicago April "a, 25
and 26 by the National Foreign
Trade Council.
James A. Farrell of this city,
chairman of the council in calling
the convention, says:
Nov. as never before, the United
States must rely upon foreign trade
to make certain the full employment
of labor and to provide investment
for capital; to stabilize industry and
prevent disturbance of domestic con-
ditions; to insure the permanent re-
tention and operation of our new
merchant vessels under the Ameri-
can flag; to maintain prosperity
among American producers and to
forestall any retrogression from the
high standards that have been
achieved"
| The Foreign Trade convention, he
says, is called to arouse American
manufacturers, farmers, merchants,
iaborers, bankers, educators, railway
and steamship men-all the factors
of foreign trade in all sections of the
country--to the necessity of prompt
ly solving the foreign trade prob
lens which the country faces.
i Mr.. Farrell pointed out that the
productive capacity of America has
made a great advance, that "our ma

"The notorious organization call,

also OF considerable revenue. Bull
garian officers exacted large sums
OF money from the civilian popula-
tion for what they considered spe-
cial privileges. For immunity from
deportation, for example. some Ser

Serbian civilians paid large sums
that their daughters might not be
