Appeal 10 Harding
To Further Work
For Foreign Trade
Credit Men Urge Increase in
Appropriations Made for
Commerce Department to
Aid National Prosperity

Pointing out that more than fifteen
million persons here are entirely de-
pendent upon foreign trade for their
living, the national committee on forr
eign credits of the National Ass6cia-
ton of Credit Men has sent communi-
cations to President-elect Harding and
other prominent members of Congress
who are urged to make liberal appro-
priations in the future toward main
tanning the activities of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Declaring that the money expended
to build one torpedo boat alone would
well cover the expenses Of the govern
ment in the successful establishment
and maintenance of our commercial re-
latfons with other countries, L. R.
Browne, chairman Of the committee.
writes:
"Too much can hardly be said of the
results already accomplished, nor is it
possible to exaggerate the opportuni-
ties for service which will come to the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce with the progress of time. 1t is
astonishing that with the limited funds
at its command that the bureau has
been able TO accomplish what has al
ready been done by it. Its help is
sought and appreciated in many quar-
ters. 1t is perhaps true that the keen
appreciation with which the results of
the work of that bureau has been re-
celved has not been voiced as adequate
ly as possible.
THE foreign commerce OF the
United States totals vast sums Of
money every year and in large meas
ure the maintenance and growth of
the export portion of that trade de-
lends upon an efficient personnel in
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. 1t seems logical therefore
to conclude that adequate provision
should be made for a department on
which SO much depends and it is with
the idea of insuring through the
medium of yourself and other mem
bers Of Congress that this letter is
addressed to you and in the hope tha
the high regard in which the bureau
and its work is held by the business
community of the country as a whole
will be borne in mind when consider
ing future appropriations; that the
bureau may be more adequately pro.
vided for; that it may be able to ex-
tend its present activities ard retain
IN its personnel, at salaries more
nearly adequate, men who have shown
their ability during their long service
aud add to its strength by attracting
/ 10 itself other competent men,

Brooklyn Man Wants
Market at W allabout Bay

Development Of Wallabouc Market AS
q terminal point would solve the prob
lem Of economical distribution of New
York City's food supply, according TO
George Dresslcr, writing in the current
issue Of the bulletin issued by the
Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce, OF
which ne is a director.
Mr.. Dressler declares a very large
proportion Of the present high prices Of
food is q direct result of "the incon-
venient and clumsy methods Of distri-
button"
The following reasons are given by
Mr.. Dressler for his belief that the
position Of Wallabout Bay makes it tine
/ best place for the proposed market:
1.-The site covers an area of 1000, ,o00
square feet, to acquire which the city
expended $4,000, 900; its position makes
easy delivery of produce, either by
small freight steamships OF by lighter
ing loaded ears from the railroad ter
rninals in Jersey City and Manhattan.
II would serve not only the dealers OF
| large area in Brooklyn, but by means
! Of the Willismsburgh and Manhattan
/ bridges many Of the dealers of the
! East Side OF Manhattan could get sup
plies more easily than in their own
! borough"

Omaha Man Purchases
New York Club Yacht

L. f. Crofoot, Of Omaha, has pur-
chased the New York Y. c. 50-footer
Ssmuri. which was raced so success
fully by William Earl Dodge, and in
tends to fit the yacht out early in the
season and race whenever possible,
The sale was made through the Office
of Tams, Lemoine & Crane. Mr.. Gro
foot formerly owned the schooner Vir-
ginia, which is now the property of
II. &. S. Noble. Mr.. Noble will race his
yacht next summer if there are other
yachts in the Virginia's class.
The prospects for a good yacht rae
ing season are Frightening every day,
and some OF the leading yachtsmen are
trying to induce owners to put their
vessels in commission. The 50-foot
one-design class has been one of the
very best in recent years. Nine of
these yachts were built by Herreshof
in 1913, and, excepting during the years
OF the war, or 1917 to 1920 inclusive,
they have raced hard.
L. Gordon Hammersley, who is now
cruising in the West Indies on his
rover yacht Sinbad, formerly the Dru-
silla, owns the 50-footer Aeushla, and
will race. Mr.. Hammersley has been
racing his speed boat Cigarette at
Miami, and after going as far as the
Panama Canal will return to New York
in time to have the sail yacht fitted for
the season

contend, and not only in his own indus
try, but in these which supply him
with materials as we'll. Il is stated.
for example, that American steel can
be sold in Britain at a price which
cannot be competed with. There has
been NO reduction in British labor
costs, and instead OF there being any
prospect Of drop in wages the men
are seeking higher pay and shorter
hours.
Shipyards Meeting Problem
In this respect the American ship
yards are far better situated The
wage reduction movement Is now in
full swing here, with every likelihood
that it will become nation wide And
no strikes of any consequence are ex.
pected TO follow the cuts in pay, for
the supply of labor is far in excess of
the demand. No orders are in sight
for American shipyards, and with the
completion of the work In hand the
excess in the supply of workers is Ger.
tain to increase as the ships under way
are completed. The wage reduction
has begun in most cases with a cut OF
10 per cent, and it is probable that
further cuts will be made later. Un-
less British labor can be brought to
accept lower pay It should be only q
question OF a comparatively short time
before ships can be built more cheaply
in American than in British yards
When that comes TO pass Britain will
no longer hold her present position of
doing practically all the building for
her own account and an additional 40
per cent for other countries.
No general movement toward re
duction Of ship operating costs through
reduction of wages below the war
| level is in sight. The men continue
to hold to their agreement with Amer
lcau shlpowners on the Atlantic Coast
which does not expire until May /
There are some indications, however
that imme ediately following this date
there will be bitter struggle between
the shipowners and the men who man
the ships. The formation of one union
out of the various organizations of of
fcers and men is regarded as fore
cast of concerted resistance against
wage-cutting. In some shipping mems
view s. world marine strike is e pos
sibiiity within few months. Tha;
this will be met by concerted action
on the part of shipowners is regarded
as certainty. With freights at about
q fifth of the war levels, shipowners
say. 1t is obviously impossible TO main
( Tain operating coSLS at the Ola 1lgUreS
And this condition applies not only tc
the United States, but to all maritime
countries.
The key 20 both the shipping and
shpbuilding situations lies largely in
the disposition made # the labor prob
lem. Freights cannot be expected tc
regain anything like their former pro
portions, and as long as they remain
at their present level 'shi downing must
be a losing occupation unless costs are
reduced. 1t will therefore be cheaper
to lay tonnage up than to run it al
q loss, and this will be the policy OF
! the American shipowner, and OF those
of other nations as ell, unless the of
ficers and crew can be brought TO see
/ the impossi' ility of continuing indef
nitely on the present scale OF pay. il
/ the belief Of most American shipping
! men.

Telephone Service
Back to Normal.
Official Asserts
Vice-President ]. S. McCulloh
SAYS 1t Was af Lowest Ebb
Year Ago; $33 900, 600 Is
Needed for '2I New Work

The marked improvement in telephone
service which has been discerniDle to
New York subscribers recently is com
mented on and explained in a statement
issued yesterday by J. S. McCulloh,
vice president of the New York Tele-
phone Company. He said, in part:
After many months of effort, during
which it has greatly increased its oper-
ating force and added large amount
of apparatus to its central Office equip
ment, the New York Telephone Com
pany has succeeded in making it's New
York City service as good in quality as
It was before the war Tests on the
average time it takes operators to an
swer calls, the average time for com
/ pieting connections and the percentage
Of operating errors show that to exist
| ing subscribers in this city high class
telephone service has been restored.
"A year ago the service was at its
| lowest ebb in quality. The city was in
the throes Of an epidemic of influenza,
coupled with severe snowstorms, which
crippled transportation. Under such
circumstances, half million calls were
added daily to an already abnormal
volume Of traffic, and for days at 81
absent from q force already far below
requirements. AS consequence, tele-
phone service fell to q very low stand
ard.
"Since then the work of restoring the
service to former high standards has
been continuous and steaCy. Hundreds
of young women have been employed
and intensively trained for telephone
operating. A great amount Of central
Office apparatus has been secured and
Installed. AS a result, the traffic load
has been more evenly distributed, and
as the efficiency of the operators has in
creased and the force has been brought
up TO full quota, the quality Of the
service has improved.
"The task Of making the service ade-
quate not only in quality, but also in
ability 20 meet all demands, is only
I half finished. We Lack central Office
facilities to provide service for nearly
$4,000 applications on our books, al
though we provided 117 ,403 new tele-
phones in 1920.
an speaking of the shortage of tele-
phone facilities in the city, the Public
Service Commission in it's annual re-
port pointed out that plans have been
made for ultimate relief subject only
to the ability of the company to secure
the financial support that will be re
Quired.
"The provision Of new telephone
service for the thousands who need it
in their business and home life is de-
pendent upon the company's ability to
obtain additional capital. We require
s33 900 this year alone to continue
the new work now in progress and to
make other necessary additions to the
system. The company's engineers esti-
mate that an even larger sum of money
will be needed in 1922 TO care for new
store our reserve of telephone equip
ment. If we cannot secure these huge
sums of money with which TO make ad-
ditions to the telephone plant we will
be unable TO serve all those who de
msnd new service"
New-York tribune., 1921-02-21
I'm the World of Shipping

0hlpplng men are not disposed to
snare the Shipping Boards optimism
regarding the marine outlook. Ocean
freights show no tendency to stiffen,
and while some Improvement Ia re-
ported in the industrial situation, this
rs regarded as applying to the domestic
rather than to the foreign trade. A
disturbing feature Of conditions in in
ternational commerce is the growing
ability of Germany to underbd other
countries with the aid OF her depre-
ciated currency. In shipping she is
not yet much Of competitor, but evi-
Gence multlpGes TO show that she is
rapidly laying the foundations for "a
merchant marine that will enable her
to become formidable element of
competition.
Pessimistic as are the views of ship
ping men in this country, they fall far
short of those expressed in Crest
Britain. Opinions voiced there recent
" in few quarters to the effect that
the outlook is brighter are not strik-
ing many responsive chords. "a wave
of false optimism is threatening u.s."
says one British marine publication,
'and unless it is recognized and
checked the existing social and eco
nomic difficulties will be gravely ag-
gravated. To feel and to express salts
faction at the thought that our trou-
bies have reached bedrock is legiti-
mate: bat TO imagine that because we
are at last beginning to understand
what we ought to have known from the
start we are justified in believing that
an automatic recovery will take place
all round, and in acting as If it had
already commenced, is as futile as
building a brick house without 1oun-
dations or mortar.
British Attitude Toward United States
About the only satisfaction that the
British pessirnists seem TO be deriv-
ing from the situation is that other
nations are also facing serious condi-
tions. The British attitude toward
American rivalry in shipping IS
summed UP by recent speaker before
said that in 1917 and 1918, when the
English losses of shipping were 80
colossal. British shipping men were
rather scared at the prospects OF the
competition of American shipping, but
that to-day it was obvious that there
was nothing for Britain TO fear.
The British frame of mind is not such
q satisfied one, however, in regard to
shipbuilding. The English shipping
weekly, Fairplay, for instance, says
that while the falling off in the ship
building activities OF the United States
and japan may seem 20 suggest that as
far as these countries are concerned the
menace of keen competition with Great
Britain is disappearing, one important
fact must not be ignored. This is that
the normal industries, those which sur
vive the withdrawal of government sup
port in the shape Of orders, will be
much stronger and much more efficient
than they were before the war. "Wher
things have settled down to this ex-
tent" Fairplay adds, 1--WE may, most
assuredly, look for keen competition
directly and indirectly, from American
and Japanese shipbuilders."
Labor is the chief difficulty with
which the British shipbuilder has te
