west coast firms were preparing to
take advantage of free tolls and
cheap ships to dominate the east
ern markets. Taking up the ques-
ton of foreign trade, he said:
Before the war 2S per cent of
our lumber went to Europe. Today
only l per cent is going there. Now
the lumber from the west coast is
sent to China. Japan and other
countries If it is exported"
Colonel Breeze pointed out that
due to freight rates his company
could not compete at Clovis or
Amarillo or FL Paso and that 1t
could not sell lumber east of Dodge
City. He predicted that the rail-
roads would soon remedy this and
that. while the west coast firms
were supplying the east, the Rocky
mountain mills would care for the
middle west.

ROTAR|ANS SEE
BETTER BUSINESS
IN COMING YEAR
Members of Club Look For
ward to Continuance of
Good Fortune Duke City
Has Enjoyed in Past.

Members of the Albuquerque Ro-
tary club, speaking at the noon
luncheon on the business outlook
for 1922. expressed a belief that
the city would profit in the future
by the same favoring circumstances
which have enabled 1t to miss much
OF the financial trouble felt in the
east. They agreed that Albuquer-
que had been particularly fortunate
in its condition during times of de-
preston.
George A. Kaseman. opening the
discussion, asserted that in a num-
Der of particulars Albuquerque had
been very fortunate.
IT am glad I am living in New
Mexico and in albuquerque" he
stated, 'for I consider 1t the most
fortunate place of its size in the
United States. We have been able
to miss much of the financial de-
felt everywhere, At the
time when railroad business Jagged
and employment in shops was linz
tied, we had the construction OF the
Santa Fe's huge plant here and 1t
kept employment active.
1T believe in community effort,
but 1t should not work to the re-
striction of individual business. We
must not be hurrahed' into giving
money which we cannot afford. A
city results from a num-
Der of prosperous business estab-
1ishments and we must have n solid
in the prosperity and
stability Of the individual business
and citizen.
1--WE have had a reduction In the
price of coal. I hope to see the
price come down some more and
we may see a further reduction IN
the spring"
]. j. Foley. district manager OF
the Continental OIL company,
stressed the point that the business
outlook would depend on national
accomplishments. He pointed out
that the merchants who had been
slowest In paying were those who
had been In business long, the rea-
son being that they had been car
rying customers. Credits, there
fore, would remain slow until a full
reimbursement had been reached.
