If this should happen Europe can not expect

AMERICAN FOREIGN TRADE

When the War was on and Germany had lost her
great world trade there said and written great
deal about how the United States would succeed to
that great trade lost to Germany, and would be in
position to shut Germans out from regaining it.
The war has been ended nearly year and half
and the United States is making little effort to hold
the great world trade that was to be had by going
after and all signs point to the fact that Germany is
reaching out already for her lost trade and regaining
it, all through the supineness of American merchants
and manufactures.
From time to time the American public is RECALLED
with accounts of trade excursions and unketing par
ties wherein large numbers of American merchants
bankers and manufacturers visit Latin-American
countries and how they are entertained with rosy
augures of the great good that will flow from the
friendships made and commercial relations cemented
with the people they visit. Yet those very people
tell afterwards that orders sent to the United States
for merchandise are refused, the excuse generally be
ing that the American merchant has not the goods.
Not long ago, conversing with an American do
ing business in one of the Mexican coast towns who
visiting Nogales the visitor said that it is ptfu
tosee the way which American houses are refusing
the trade of the West Coast Of Mexico. He stated
that sosiniar are the replies that it would seem they
all adopt sterotyped form in turning down orders
form Latin American countries.
Now the very commodities refused by American
houses are filtering into Latn-Amerca to Germany
and the trade is going back to that country simply be-
the United States will make no effort to get it.
Moreover, when American firms operating in Lat
inAn erica order goods from Germany, they are put
off to distant dates and the American mercantile sys

lost dc Tho var is rn+,1~rinp to her shores inst as
RAPIDLY possible; ard all simply because the United
States makes effort to get that trade once en-
joying it makes no effort to retain it.
Can it be that American traders have so rich and
so fruitful field in the United States that they do not
care for foreign trade?
