OUTLOOK FOR 1920
LOOKS VERY BRIGHT
Conditions of Trade Summed
Up By Department OF
Commerce Official.

Washington. Alexander
OF the department of commerce sums
I'D the commercial outlook for the
year 1920 as follows:
1.-THE closing year witnesses fabu'
lous growth of American foreign com
MERGE far beyond the dreams of bust
ness five years ago. Our trade bal
ance for the year 1919 will be approx
mately $4,000, 100000. A great fleet OF
merchant ships, new industries, new
sources of supply and increased knowl-
edge Of our own resources are some or
the assets gained from our war expert
ence with which we are fortified to
meet new conditions.
Before the war we were engaged
for the most part in the development
OF our own business. with little serious
thought of extension of our activities
into world markets, and we were too
Indifferent as regards our position OF
inferiority on the high seas. Today
we are awake as never before. The
pride of ante-bellum days is revived
and we look to see our flag at the
masthead Of an American merchant
ship in every important seaport of the
world, carrying American goods wher-
ever markets may be found.
1T is too much to expect that nor
NAL conditions, for which we all are
so impatient, should come within the
IA months since the signing of the
armistice The wonder is that the sit
uation Is not more unsettled. Existing
conditions are not unlike those follow
ing other wars, only the problems are
of greater proportions and more com
pick. Our domestic situation is not
free from difficulty. Let us hope that
in the year 1920 there will be less SO
cial unrest, that production will in
crease and living costs be gradually
reduced, and that by intelligent CO
operation and unselfish regard for the
public welfare our national prosperity
may continue"

John Barton Payne. chairman OF

statement to the Southern Commercial

My conclusion Is, it is not possible
to have a successful American mer-

into the ship habit. The American
newspapers and magazines must
arouse the thinking men among manu-
facturers. investment bankers, farm
ers, and labor to the necessity for
merchant marine.
