Redfield Makes Plea
 For Eradication of
 F oreign' Trade Idea

Hon. William c. RedfeId, who was Secretary of Commerce in the ca;bIne ct of President Wilson, aroused the en- thustasm of a large number of the business and professional men of Brid geport, members of the Chamber of Commerce and the kiWanis club, in a speech made at luncheon at The Stratfeld this afternoon MT. Redfield's speech was a plea to eradl- cate the idea that there was any such idea as foreign trade, a 'distinc- tiOn which does not exist, and Ieads to the common mistake of thinking that there are two kinds of trade, whereas there is but one and that harm oniOus whole
 Nations in their blindness, said the ex-secretary, attempt by Prohibitive or preferential tariffs, or by special concessions to their own nationals, to guide into channels of selfish profit the ultimate econ nonljc forces which rule mankind. For a time they seem been said to flourish as the gTeenbay tree, but at last the economic forces control. The attempt to resist them is as futile as a single hand raised against the flood which recently de- vastated a fair city in our West. The necessities of our na3Ion, of course, require that enlightened sef-interest shall rule therein, but seH-intere>S and seIfshness stand as far apart as the poles, and the very intelligence and knowledge which should guide self- interest would steer one away from the path of selfshness.
 The international outlook of the United States has been altered by the war. We were q debtor and now are a creditor The problem of collect ing vasE debts due us from abroad is hard enough but to it must be added the problem of continuing our sales to those who owe us so much. We must sell. we cannot avoid doing so unless we are content to wither at home
