The reports of the United States
census show that this country has
become preponderantly industrial in
its production, instead of being agrl-
cultural as it was up to the first dec
ade of this century. It is a matter
of first Importance, therefore, to the
welfare and prosperity of all our peo-
pie, that our vast national indus
trial establishment should have every
possible opportunity for full time and
full handed occupation. That is the
only condition that will reasonably
assure the steady payment to the
great majority of our working men
and women of remunerative wages
for work done, and fair return for
capital employed. At the same time,
that is the condition which will pro
vide the best returns to agriculture.
The effort of all peoples, at all
times, has been the Improvement of
their condition Of life, that is, of
their civilization. Industry and trade
have been their chief agencies in the
execution of this purpose. Naturally,
those peoples which have developed
the greatest measure. of national sol
idarity in support of their industry
and trade have made the most I'M

whether there may not be also oper
to them an opportunity to benefit the

| for machinery for the East Indies
But the lenders did not make the re-
quest, and when the loan was con-
Guided without it, the Dutch dropped
their negotiations for American sup
plies, and placed their orders in
Germany.
Difference Noted.
The investment bankers assert, in
support of their position, that the
proceeds Of a foreign loan foated
here must go abroad sooner or later
as exports of American products, and
that in the case cited it makes little
difference whether the Dutch bought
electrical machinery here or the Ger
mans used the dollars borrowed BY
the Dutch to pay for American cot
ton, copper Or other raw materials.
There is this important difference,
however. The exports would have
been prompt if the desired stipuia-
ton had been made in the Dutch
loan, whereas now they may not go
out fer several months, or perhaps
year, and there is much unemploy-
nlent here.
This matter is regarded as of de-
cided Importance by many of the
leaders of American industry, who
feel that the investment bankers
should not only be willing to improve
opportunities such as that offered by
the Dutch, loan, but also should be
on the lookout for them. Of course,
if American investors in foreign
bonds should form the habit of in
curing whether or not any part of
the loan proceeds was spent for
American products that would no
doubt tend to make the issuing
houses more active in securing such
an agreement wherever practicable.
The recent National Foreign Trade
Convention which was composed of
more than 1900 foreign traders from
all parts of the country, declared it.
self very clearly on this subject by
adopting, unanimously, the following
statement:
"The importation of sound securi-
ties serves either to liquidate out
standing foreign obligations or to
furnish new occupation for American
industry. It is of the utmost inn
portence that our investment bank
ers when negotiating foreign loans
should always have in mind so to
handle them as to further American
trade and they should, as far as prac-
ticable, provide for the expenditure
of some portion of the proceeds in
this country for exports.
Attention is called to the fact that
the importation of foreign securities
in the first four months of this year
has greatly exceeded our excess of
merchandise exports over imports.
At this rate and with normal contin-
uation of alien remittances, tourist ex-
penditures and payment for shipping,
insurance, banking, and other serv-
ices, coupled with our private invest
ment in foreign enterprise, our favor
able trade balance will presently be
wiped out unless due provision is
made for the use Of some portion of
the proceeds of foreign loans in the
purchase of American products.
