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

Notwithstanding Alexander
OF The department of commerce sums
up the commercial outlook for the
year 1920 as follows:
The closing year Witnesses A fabu
louS growth Of American foreign com
'horce Tar beyond the dreams OF bust
NESS i've years ago. Our trade bal
ahce Tor the year 1919 will be approxi
mately S.00o.OOO, 900. A great fleet OF
merchant ships. new Industries. new
sources OF supply and Increased knowl
edge OF our own resources are some Of
the assets gained from our war expert
ence with which we are fortified to
meet new conditions.
Before the war we were engayed
Tor the most part in the development
OF our own business, with little serious
thought OF extension Of our activities
mo 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
P''"' VI hH't-btlluU DAYS is revived
and we look TO see our flag at the
masthead Of an American merchant
snip 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 40
clal 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"

AMERICAN LABOR
TO DO FULL DUTY
Samuel Gompers Pledges Its
Aid in Working Out the
Country's Problems.

Washington.-Samue Gompers. pres
jdent of the American Federation OF
Labor, ihsa> New Year statement
pledged American workers to do their
full share in working out the coun-
try's problems in 1920. Mr.. Gompers
said:
Americas workers stand ready ia
the new year, as In the past, to do
their full duty as American citizens.
We have always placed our obliga-
lions as citizens above all else. AS
citizens we are true to the American
idea OF equal opportunity for all.
"In the past we have found 1t nee
essary to fight for that ideal against
agencies that sought to establish spe-
cial privilege. Those fights have not
been in defense OF class advantages,
but to assure wage earners the rights
and opportunities that all should pos
sess. Our struggles may have brought
discomfort to others, but they prevent
ed a greater evil-deterioration OF the
virility of a part Of the naticn.
"The great struggle OF labor In the
past has been to assure to workers In
their industrial relations the rights OF
free citizens. We have fought to give
the ideal OF America dominating influ-
ence in shops and factories. Our MILL
tant struggle has won general recog-
milton for our demands. But our work
is not all militant. We are In posi-
ton to contribute to the Improvement
of production, processes and organiza-
ton.
THE immediate problem OF the
world is to develop a production or
ganization that will benefit directly
those who are the real producers and
will also serve the needs OF starving
nations.
This is a big job, but 1t is essential
for well-grounded development in the
wears to come. It is essential to that
ideal which is America-edual oppor-
tunity for all. Americas workers Will
do their full share in working out all
our country's problems.
Hail to the new year 1920! May
it bring freedom, glory and happiness
to all our people!"
