SEES FAIR FUTURE
FOR U. S. EXPORTS
Nothing Radically Wrong in
Situation, DIR. Klein Tells
Philadelphians.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.- "Hold your
ground" is the advice of DR.. Julius
Klein to the "panicky' inclined Ameri-
can exporter DIR. Klein, who Is director
OF Herbert Hoover's Bureau OF Foreign
and Domestic Commerce of the Depart
ment of Commerce, spoke before the
Philadelphia Export Club.
While 1t would be idle to ignore the
wounds suffered by Americas foreign
trade in the past year, there is nothing
radically wrong with the export stua-
tion." DR.. Klein said. According to the
director. surveys of foreign fields show
unmistakable signs OF certain. If slow,
Improvement. 1.-The principles of rational
merchandising are the same to-day as
before the war. There is no cause Tor
dependency, but there Is a great deal
of need for the exercise OF prudence
and shrewdness DR.. Klein declared.
For the benefit of those VINO can see
nothing but gloom on the American eX-
port horizon. the director made use OF
q few export statistics. He said: The
decrease in the value of American ex-
port trade in the fiscal year 1920-21 as
compared with the preceding year was
due largely to lower prices rather than
to diminished quantities. Considering
exports for that year from "A weight
basis, we find increases of "a per cent.
for the groups of raw materials and
of 80 per cent. for foodstuffs, with a
slight decrease for such manufactured
products as can be indicated by weight.
In the opinion Of the director. the
expansion of American industrial ac-
tivity during the war has had pro-
found effect upon the interest of our
manufacturers in foreign trade. Where
as, before the war approximately less
than 10 per cent. of our total output
Of commodities found Its way in foreign
trade, the proportion to-day has more

you'd swear!'
Whereupon the preacher took the

denying the charge. Then, as the
field became more impossible he be-

the like!' When he had gone once
round the field he stopped, breathless,
and added:
