Case of Too Much
Efficiency American
Firms in Europe

Riga, Lativa, June by The AS
ISOLATED Press Millions of dollars in
ready cash are going to English,
German and Dutch firms from the
Baltic states because of the almost
unbelievable unfamiliarity of even
the largest American firms with for
eign trading conditions, and even
geography, say Americans here.
Dozens of big orders for which cash
was actually in the banks in New
York have been lost to America be-
cause of what American representa-
tives in the Baltic states term abso-
lutte stupidity.
ut is time" said one of these
Americans in Riga who has had to
place many orders in Germany and
in England when America could have
had them" that the heads of Amer
lean firms realize what the subordi-
mates in charge of their foreign trad
ing departments are doing to them.
Most of them, brought up on So
called American efficiency systems
that may work well at home but are
absolutely hopeless abroad, try to do
business in Europe according to
form 90 or form "a or whatever
form they would apply to similar deals
in America.
ITO illustrate, not long ago I had
an urgent cash order for 10000 suits
of underclothing for a Baltic state.
telegraphed to a big American firm:
What your price 10000 suits heavy
underwear cash against documents

Two or three days later, when
some bright young credit man had
tried to digest this telegram. re-
ceived a cable saying: Wire your
credit rating and references
Now, suppose his form 90 re-
quired him to do that, but I wired
back. My credit references are cash
in New York bank. What are your
prices
Some days later received a teIe-
gram saying: Price dollar twenty
or something like that
More valuable time was lost in an
exchange of kilograms asking what
they meant, per garment or per suit.
The result was that ! wired an Eng
lish firm. My answer from it was
just what l wanted. The
telegram gave the price per esuit,
weight of shipment, probable date of
delivery and everything that l wanted
to know. The English firm got the
order and took the cash in the New
York bank.
