NAVY TO EXTEND
SCOPE OF RADIO
Communication on subma-

Other Striking improvements

The Navy Department has pur-
chased equipment to extend the rad

marines from fifty to 500 miles, with
savings in engineering maintenance
funds made by engineering personnel
afioat, it was learned today. The ex-
tent of the economies in use of en-
gineering supplies on the active
ships and the steadily increasing de-
gree to which the engineering forces
on the ships are making their own
repairs af1Oat, it was said at the de-
partment. has been astonishing and
reflects the zeal with which the en-
tire .aervice has thrown itself into
the task of bettering the Navy by
it's own direct efforts.
Cruising Radius Enlarged.
Another project now in progress in
the department with funds made
available by the work of the officers
and men in the engine room forces
of the fighting ships, it was added,
would make material increase in
the cruising radius of the battle
ship fleet. with resulting large an
nual savings in fuel consumption.
New evaporators for the ships al
ready have been contracted for with
engineering savings and when in
stalled, largely by the work of the
men afioat, will give the ships more
and purer fresh water supplies and

Wage controversies. wage imitation
and low production of workers have
limited output, made for high prices
and generally interfered with trade.
Rebuilding Too Slow.
"Slowness in rebuilding and in
bringing back into operation produc-
tion equipment in the devastated
regions has been another factor in
hindering the production of wealth
on which credit and the exchange of
goods could have been based. This
delay has. in part, been attributable
to the slowness Of the legislative and
administrative branches of govern
lack of organization of the producers
and in part to the inadequacy of
credit facilities and to inflated values.
After the collapse from the delirium
of high prices in 1920, the uncertainty
as to the future course of prices in
def1ation has been another factor.
Business abhors uncertainty and price
uncertainty is the sharpest kind Of
obstacle to trade. Much of the infla-
tion in prices in international trade
has been worked out.

In some quarters the absence of an
international mechanism for the IN

mercial disputes has been viewed as
a distinct obstacle to the restora-
tion of trade.
Much of the imitation in ocean
freight rates, which for a time made
the costs of merchandise so high as
to stop trade. has been worked out.
Inadequacy of railroad transporta-
tion remains as one of the acute OBJ
stacles. The average business man
has become accustomed to thinking
of Russia as outside the picture of
commercial transactions. Russia is
an outstanding example of the effect
of the breakdown of railroad trans
portation in interfering with the flow
of commerce. The pilferage risks, and
other incidental risks to the handling
of merchandise in transportation.

"a distinctly mercantile obstacle to
the restoration of steady flow OF
trade has been the existence of mer-
chandise speculation and the conse-
quent overstocking of markets. Some
OF our merchants poured. goods into
certain European centers in 1913 and
1920 in anticipation of markets that
did not materialiZe. During the past
eighteen months or so in good many
lines the excess stocks have been
gradually worked out, so that relief
is in sight.
Army Stocks Flood Market.
Another mercantile obstacle to
trade In many lines has been the
liquidation OF accumulated war
stocks The sale of enormous stocks
of miscellaneous merchandise by the
United States and European armies In
Europe. have flooded the market with
good many commodities.
Another class Of obstacles has
consisted of -embargoes imposed by
governments and customs duties hav-
ing the effect Of import embargoes.
Just as we have had our emergency
tariff and are going through the
process of general revision of the
tariff, SO the European countries
measures. which in some instances
have yielded nothing to the United
States in respect to their protective
or exclusive character. Unquestion-
ably the maintenance of government
tai control over and interference with
business has proved real obstacle
to the restoration Of business.
Another obstacle is the mafnte-
nance of a complicated, inefficient.
,red-taped system of passport control
bearing on commercial travellers.
Much valuable time is consumed in
endeavoring to comply with the
petty requirements of numerous petty
functionaries intrusted with systems
of passport visas and passport con-
troll. which should be eliminated in

EXPERTS OUTLINE:
f. TRADE OBSTACLES
National Chamber Of Com
merce Told of Evils Prior
] to Studying Cure.

Numerous obstacles standing in the
way of a normal resumption of do
mestic and foreign trade are outlined
In a report prepared from investiga-
tions Of the experts of the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States
and which will be presented tomor-
row for the consideration of the dele
gates to the tenth annual convention
of the organization. This meeting
VIII have for its object the mapping
out of a national commercial policy
to bring about a return of normal
trade conditions, and it will be ex-
pected to devise ways and means of
surmounting the obstacles which the
report asserts stands in the way of
the complete resumption of trade in
tercourse and it's accompanying pros
perity
One Of the foremost obstacles which
has stood in the way of normal trade
political instability. which has pre-
vented those abroad with good credit
even from getting goods, and where
they have obtained the goods the
prices have been increased by the
high insurance rates covering "politi-
cal risk Unsettled conditions be-
tween capital and labor also have
served to retard resumption of normal
conditions. the report says, and among
other obstacles it specifically names
the following: Slowness of admins
tratfve and legislative branches of
governments in providing for rebuild
Ing the devastated regions, uncer-
tainty due to inflated prices, lack of
International commercial arbitration
facilities, inflated freight rates and
other transportation obstacles, specu-
lating and overstocking. liquidation
OF Army stocks both here and abroad
and government interference with
business.
Prepared to Aid Study.
Tho report was prepared for the pur-
pose Of giving the delegates an insight
into the causes as viewed from various
angles in all parts Of the world by ex-
perts, and to furnish a basis for devel-
oping plans for removing these obstacles.
The rate of exchange has not been
the sole obstacle to the restoration of
commerce." the report points out. Even
II the rate Of exchange in some of the
countries remained comparatiyely
strong. and, even if the economic re-
sources OF the country remained SUBJ
stantially. unimpaired political instabili-
~, Arge-scale strikes and the break
down OF law and order, could introduce
an element Of political instability, and
accompanying lack of security for bust
ness, proving a distinct obstacle to the
restoration OF business. In some in
stances the lack of assured political
stability has prevented merchants in
Europe, whose credit standing was
otherwise good, from getting needed raw
materials from abroad, and in other
cases the cost Of materials and supplies
obtained was enhanced by charges for
actual insurance coverage against the
political risk.
"One obstacle to trade has been the
unsettled relations of capital and la
bOr. Obviously strikes affectinp s,,cb
vital industries as the coal industry
and the transport industries choke
the progress of reconstruction Diff
culties incidental to the application
or the eight-hour day in commerce
and industry have played a part.

THREE BOTTLES OF

There is not a remedy on the
market today having such
reputation as Dreco for its
powers to overcome catarrh of
the nose. throat and stomach.
Many peope have given Dreco
a fair trial and proclaim it mar
velous. Right in this section
men and women owe their
health to Dreco. One such per-
son writes as follows:
II had catarrh so bad that I
often coughed for hours trying

ries. residing at Stop 25,, Sharon

it is remarkable medicine
The coughing and drippinGs
have ceased. my bowels act
regularly. never have back
ache and my nerves are steady.
Dreco is surely a grand remedy"
The only way to get rid of
catarrh is through the blood.
Dreco is taken up by the blood
very quickly; carried to the
weakened membranes and re-
stores them to a healthy condi-
tion. That's the secret of
