CREDIT MAN TO LEAD SECOND
U.S.FOREIGN TRADE CRUSADE
Day of Enterprising Yankees Due Again in
Ports of Seven Seas.

til longer term credit is given our
foreign buyers. As a consequence
the plants. mines and fields, gauged
on the basis of domestic and for
cign supply have been compelled to
curtail production. The. further
consequence is that this shortening
of production has thrown millions
out OF employment. Until the spark
of life is communicated to our
trade the grip we have gained must
be relinauished. Our trade prestige
will be torn down again.
Credit and not salesmanship is to
be the basis of the new relation
The world has been educated to the
worth Of our goods and has shown
a decided disposition to patronize
our markets. II the credit conditions
are adjusted.
Therefore, the credit man will be
in the van of the new inva>,n. He
will stand in the market places OF
the world and govern the grant OF
credits. He 1t will be who will
wave the golden wand that will
sway the flow of American goods
IL will be his beckoning hand that
will draw the argosies Of trade to
distant ports. At his command
American merchants. manufactur-
ers, miners and farmers will speed
I'M or slow down on production.

IL will be noted that since 1917
bank clearings outside OF New York
have increased faster than those
In the big city. The average month
ly clearngs in the city increased
only s61O.0OO.OOO last year compared
with 1919. while ciearings outside
New York City averaged fl.735.-
900 900 greater last year. In terms
of per cent the 1920 clesrings in
the city increased only > per cent
while those outside were - per cent
larger than the year before. The
greater growth of the outside clear
ings is shown by the fact that in
prewar years these amounts were
approximately Sc per cent OF New
York City clearings. while in 1920
they had increased TO 75 per cent.
The January clearings within
New York City, while below those
of recent months. are still consider
ably above the low point of last
August On the other hand the
clearings outside Of New York show
no tendency to rally, but are the
lowest since June. 1919. Bradstreet
thinks that possibly this may indi-
cate the beginning of the turning
point in business in New York, but
which has not yet appeared in out
side cities. 1t would seem more
probable that total clearings will
have to show still further declines
before we reach a permanent level

The effect OF falling prices aad
the readjustment OF business
throughout the. country is clearly
reflected in. the decreasing total OF
bank clearings. According to Brad
streets report, the total clcarings
in 1913 cities In January, 1921.
amounted to s33.2o7. .0oo.ee eompar-
cd to s37,2Ss,o0o. 900 in December.
1880. and TO s42.O33.0o0,0e0 in De-
ccmber, 1919. The latter was the
high record month. The total clear
ings last month were the smallest
recorded since May. 1919, with the
exception of February which is al
ways a low month. Clearings last
January show a decrease of nearly
IL per cent from the preceding
month and over 20 per cent from
the corresponding month in 1920.
The monthly bank ciearings in New
York City, in outside cities and the
total during the two last years, are
given in the following table:

BOOSTS HIGHWAY
AND MOTOR TRUCK
in FREIGHT TRADE
Federal Council Proposes
Greater Use to Rail
Traffic Heads. 3
IMPORTANT ISSUE
Recent Conference Proves
Proposed Service Would Not
Be Burden on Railroads.

Railway traffic executives In
Eastern territory now have before
their committee a proposition from
the transportation committee OF
the Federal Highway Council to
make a larger use OF the highway
and motor truck in the store door
collection and delivery Of freight.
Numerous meetings of the coun-
ellis committee have been held 20
determine the proper policy in ap-
preaching this important subject.
The proposition now before railway
executives is the concrete result OF
these meetings.
In determining the class Of trsf-
fc which would economically come
under the new plan Of delivery. J.
c. Lincoln, trafic manager Of the
Merchants Association, OF New
York. has had embodied in the plan
Of procedure the principle that
store-door delivery should apply {"
all station OF platform delivery.
This would exclude carload lots de-
livered TO sidings. but would in
clude carload lots handled over
freight platforms at terminals. In
most smaller cites carload lots are
seldom handled over platforms.
while at New York City a large
portion Of the freight is so han
died whether IL is carload OF less
than Carlosd lot.
A motion has also been adopted
to the effect that the committees
deems il most advantageous 90 have
store-door delivery a carrier serv-
ice. but at additional rates not in
cIuded in the through rates" II
was brought out in the discussion
that store-door delivery tariffs
should be published separately.
similar to the lighterage tariffs OF
New York.
Discussion at the last conference
thoroughly established the fact that
this proposed service should not be
an additional burden upon the rail-
roads.
Upon the suggestion Of Will
lam J. Pitt. Of Philadelphia. the
committee has adopted a recommep-
dation that the carriers, TO avoid
congestion and delay. be urged 20
establish and operate, in all large
cities. a store-door collection and
delivery system 10 be performed
BY, OF under the control of the car
rier. the carrier TO assume liability
for the safe transfer by their rep
resentatives. a reasonable charge to
be assessed for such service"

EXPECT CLOSE VOTE ON RATIFICATION OF
 THE PEACE TREATY
Decisive Action on German Pact Scheduled for Today In the Senate--0ther
 Treaties Up
By Associated Prers

Washington. October 16.--A closer vote than was first expected on rat ification of the German peace treaty now appears probable, according to predictions tonight of senators on both sides in close touch with de- velopments.
 The margin appearing for ratifica- ton was estimated variously from 8 to a maximum of or votes on the eve of decisive action, scheduled to- morrow in the Senate. Republican leaders. however, said ratification was assured.
 Beginning tomorrow the German peace treaty is to occupy the Senate exclusively until the final vote, which is expected not later than Wednes- day, with possibilities of a vote late tomorrow or Tuesday. Meeting at Il o'clock tomorrow, the Senate lay ing aside the tax revision bill until after the treaty vote, will operate from II 80 under the unanimous con- sent agreement entered into several weeks ago to expedite voting. by which each senator's time Is limited to one hour on the treaty and 10 min utes on amendments. This provision was to have become operative last Friday, but was postponed until to- morrow because of the death of Sem ator Knox of Pennsylvania
 Less than dozen senators are ex- pected to consume their full hours time. Prominent among those plan- ming to speak are Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking minority mem Der of the foreign relations commit tee, and Pomerine, democrat. Ohio, in favor of ratification, and Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri Borah, re- publican. Idaho, and King, democrat, Utah. against ratification.
 Whether friends of former Pres ident Wilson, among them Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, former Secretary of the Treasury, would en- ter the fight extensively in opposi- tion was not certain tonight.
