Export Trade Slackens; Bureau
To Ask Big Sum for Promotion

WASHINGTON. Oct -Appropria-
tions approximating $1,500000 will be
for expansion of foreign trade, accord
ing to the estimates under considera-
tion to-day by the Bureau Of Forei gn
and Domestic Commerce. The bureaus
appropriation this year was S9O0,00O
Officials declared increased funds
were needed because Of the changing
conditions OF Americas commerce. Or
ders to exporters are falling off, it was
said, and. instead of buyers coming TO
this country as they did in war times,
1t will be necessary for American mer-
chants to sell their goods in the mar
kets in competition with foreign manu-
facturers. Expansion Of the CONNER
cial attache service of the bureau is
MANNED.

Banker Urges Thrift
To Aid Foreign Trade

John McHugh, chairman of the COM
mittee on commerce and marine of
the American Bankers Association, in
the forthcoming issue of the journal
Of that organization states that the
key to financing Americas foreign
trade lies in the practice of thrift by
our own people.
"a natio nthat does not save wise
ly," says Mr.. McHugh. Cannot hope
to maintain and increase it's financial
prestige in the world any more than
an individual who does not save and
invest his savings prudently can hope
to stand well financially among his
fellows.
a rift implies work, and work
should mean constant approach to
the maximum of production. Increased
production will result both in the
furnishing of sufficient commodities so
that we shall not suffer from excessive
prices and in the accumulation Of such
surplus OF commodities as may be
spared to be proftably marketed
abroad"

Plans to Raise Lusitania
French Engineer Would Have
1t Lifted hy Means Of Raft

A new project for salvaging the
Lusitania has been prepared by the
rhief Of the French Naval Engineering
Department.
1t is proposed that large raft should
be constructed and towed to the spot
where the wreck is located. At low
water the raft is to be attached to the
Lusltanla by means of 800 unusually
strong steel ropes. At high tide, it is
claimed, the wreck would be raised
owing TO the lift and could be towed
INTO port for repairs. Shipping papers
are skeptical as to the success of the
plan
