the Governor will place his IDEAS be-
fore the strikers tomorrow night in
the form Of message.
IL was learned from other sources
that the Governor, before he leaves
Tor Albany this afternoon. will have a
!ast-minute talk with the leaders of
both sides. O'Connor left for Wash
lngton last night, presumably TO see
Shipping Board officials in connection
with Mr.. Brady's suggestion.
Il have discussed the situation once
again with Mr.. O'Connor," said Gov
ernor Smith last night, "and can re
port progress No agreement, how
ever, has been arrived at We shall
continue the negotiations."
Alexander r. Smith, editor Of "The
Port of New York Annual" yesterday
brought figures to bear to refute state
ments recently made by shipping men
chat the port of New York was rapidly
losing its foreign commerce because
Of its numerous labor and transporta
tion troubles.
He denied the statement that New
York lost one-fourth of her foreign
commerce within the last six years
saying that within that period less
than 46 per cent of the nations export
business entered and left this port
During the period of nine months end
ing March, 1920, he said, the figures at
the Custom House show that as per
cent of the nations foreign business
passed through New York and that
during March New York's proportion
was 81 per cent of the whole

sBloodless' Settlement Of
Troubles on Waterfront
Letter Sent to Merchants
LOngshOremen Meet To-
morrow Night to Vote
on Returning to Work

Peter j. Brady, president of the Allied
Printing Trades Council, acting in an
advisory capacity to the striking long
shoremen, last night addressed an open
letter to members of the Merchants
Aa2ociation calling upon them to use
their influence in forcing "bloodless'
settlement of the waterfront situation.
He suggests that the United States
Shipping Board be requested to take
over the situation pending an adjust
ment Of the controversy. 80 that neces-
sary bottoms may be provided to take
care Of the ports business and prevent
further diversion Of the city's shipping
facilities.
Sees Industrial Chaos
He points out that If the commercial
interests 60 through with their $780,
900 plan for an Independent trucking
system to assure impartial transpor-
tation service" they Twill set up a con-
dition that will mean little short Of in
dustrial chaos in the city"
Every industry in tho port, he as
serts, will be affected in some degree,
"for, depend upon IT," runs the letter,
"the organized trades Of New York will
not stand idly by and see the unions
of the transport workers crushed"
The effect Of Governor Smiths efforts
to bring about truce will be noted at
a meeting Of the striking longshore-
men tomorrow night st st. Veronica's y
Hall, Barrow and Washington streets.
The meeting was announced by T. V.
O'Connor, president of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association, fol-
lowing conference with the Governor
at the Hotel Biltmore yesterday.
1t is understood that the men will
vote on the question Of returning to
work under an arrangement to be sug-
gested by the Governor.
The proposition, it was said, is diff
ferent from the one recently suggested
by the shipping interests and mer-
chants, embodying the idea that the
workers return pending consideration
Of their demands for an increase in
pay when the coastwise lines obtain
permission to boost their freight rates.
Mr.. O'Connor declared that this
proposition has been voted down by
the men and that 1t would be hard
to get them back to work on this basis.
He declined to discuss the new pro-
posals.
Governor to Give Views

of yesterdays conference the Cover

charges and remittances of immigrants
amounting to $1,O26 100000. But chiefly
1T was settled by the resale to us Of
american securities owned abroad, to
the sum of s2,Oo0,o00OoO, by the sale
70 private investors in the United
states of foreign government. munici-
pal and corporate obligations amount
ing to $500 100000.
The ultimate consequence of our
shift from the debtor to the creditor
position must be ultimately an excess
OF imports over exports. When this
will occur, whether in FIVE years or
not for a decade, will depend on GER
tain changes in the invisible items of
our balance (and perhaps upon deci-
slons of international policy, about
which prediction cannot be mede with
confidence. The dominant item in our
balance will certainly be the capital
and interest account. A moderate an
nual export of capital in the form of
foreign investment might postpone the
overturn Of the trade balance to
period several years hence, say until
the late twenties. As matter of
opinion, we think this likely. wip-
ing off of part Of the government
credits would have similar effect;
If that part were very considerable the
effect might indeed be long felt and
give us 'favorable' trade balance for
an extended period. But there is no
reason to anticipate such an occur
renee 1t can be asserted positively
that by reason Of the funding of the
principal of the government credit ad-
vances and of the interest thereon for
three-year period there will be an
excess Of exports over imports, though
of reduced amount as compared with
the last five years, at least until the
year 1928"
Farm Output Increases
The committees abstract on agricul-
tural policies says, in part:
The wholesale prices for all farm
products have kept pace with and ex-
ceeded the increase in the price of all
commodities. But producers of meat
and Of milk have not received price ad
vances either on all other commodities
or on all other farm products.
"Wages ror agricultural labor have
not increased as rapidly as have wages
in manufacturing industries nor as
rapidly as the general price level. The
result is that farming communities are
short of competent labor.
"The crux of the present agricultural
condition lies in prices, labor and
credits From the above survo" il
would appear that the cor 9
should stress the following in dra 4
up statement as to policies for agri
culture in the United States:
"Livestock and dairy products must
sell higher with relation to the price
Of grains, if production Of meat and
milk is to be maintained.
"The higher wages paid in cities and
