AMERICAN EXPORTS.

An editor down in Chile, according to
news story carried in last Fridays Re
former. finds fault with United States
manufacturers for the crude methods
they have of packing their products for
export shipment. resident of Brattle-
boro, who seems to have had an unusual
South American experience, replies that
the export products of the states are put
in export transit more compactly and
ncatcr than those from Great Britain.
Waving judgment as to the accuracy
or inaccuracy-of either of these state
mcnts The Reformcr desires to con-
slider the proposition from an entirely
| different angle. The facts which follow
are based on the Statement-madc re-
Gently to the present writer-of a furni-
ture manufacturer. of Grand Rapids,
Michigan. And, by the way, the furni-
ture output of Grand Rapids is the
greatest on the continent.
The Grand Rapids man said he had
iSpcnt many thousands of dollars in an
effort to establish his business in the far
east. After great expenditure of money
and time he thought his ambition had
been realized. But he quickly learned
| that his troubles had merely started. lie
| began his shipments to the far East and
in the course of time complaints COM
mcnced to pour in from his far East
customers. They all seemed to have the
same grievance. The furniture had not
been properly packed, hence it arrived at
its destination in a damaged or ruined
condition.
An investigation developed this fact {:
The shipments were carried in British
bottoms. British sailors manned the
vessels. Whether by design or otherwise.
the furniture was either damaged or
wrecked in the unloading process. They
the British seamen-would grasp a
case with graphing irons, dcrrick-hOist
it % or 80 feet, swing it into position
and let it drop from that altitude to the
dock. The result can easily be imagined
This happened before the great war.
The United States then had no merchant
marine. Realizing this, the Grand Rap
ids producer decided to abandon his
dream of business in the far East.
Uncle Sam now has a merchant mar
inc-the greatest in the world, too-of
| his own. Possibly the American sailor
| will do better than the British seamen
in the movement of American goods. The
| Englishmcn had no reason to be especi
ally particular in handling an American
export that was going into competition
with the manufacturers of his own coun
trymcn. The citizens of the United
States will have every reason to carefully
handle American export merchandise
Hence the near future may remove the
cause of the Chilean's complaint-whel
American goods begin to arrive there il

Is causing concern here, because il such

THE fact Is that France has few Off

leave the Washington conference in the
