TRANSPORTATION RELIEF

It is most encouraging to note the industry of the city gov
eminent in the disruption of the transportation facilities serving
Perth Amboy and its environs. Rearrangement and elaboration
Of the auto bus service was perfected with a thoroughness that is
most praseworthy. The travelling public was enabled to get to
and from their places of business yesterday and today as well as
could be expected under the circumstances, and nothing but
commentator was heard concerning the improvised service.
1t should be remembered by those delving into the local
transportation situation that Perth Amboy has been placed in a
decidedly dsadvantageous position in the whole matter, for while
arrangements were being made to cope with the situation caused
by the abandonment of the Jersey Central Traction Company, the
strike of the Public Service lines started, making the problem
more complex. This problem has been solved, temporarily at least,
to the credit of the local officials. Now let all concerned work
for permanent relief.
With the emergency caused by the trolley mems strike well
in hand. officials of Perth Amboy, South Amboy and Keyport met
here last night to discuss permanent improvement in the service
fbetween this city and Keyport. While the conference was pro-
ductive Of the desired preliminary results as far as the present
day situation is concerned, it was conclusively shown that the
only permanent cure for the transportation evils existing today
is "a the formation of large, responsible companies TO operate over
designated routes. It was made manifest last night that war has
already broken out between the small operators on the South
Acknowledgment line, and this will not tend to bring about good
transportation. The entire bus service here was best described as
a mongrel proposition. Permanent relief, it was felt by many
will come only when the auto bus transportation is in the hands of
large companies, who have made a study of the entire matter and
have the capital necessary to operate up-to-date carriers on a regu-
lar schedule without the disturbing factor of competition.
With practically the entire state in the throes of a transpor-
tation crisis, Perth Amboy took the best step possible in arrang
ing for a conference of Central New Jersey municipalities in an
49, =. Ill L. A.. -4;o. al
conference will be held at which time much more no doubt will be
accomplished to help in the emergency.
The transportation situation bristles with possibilities and is
the most urgent problem to be considered today. The public, the
victims of another labor clash and car line abandonment, will be
compelled to sacrifice heavily, to suffer inconvenience, annoyance
and losses. They must receive first consideration at all costs.

Study Market Needs

sumption.
Study Market Needs
One of the longest steps toward
substituting American business sense
for in the foreign trade has
been the establishment in the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce
of the commodity divisions. The ex-
perts in these divisions know de-
fnitely what goods are wanted in
what countries. No American manu-
f%acturer, no matter how romantic,
probably would ever send a cargo
of ice cream to the people of
Greenland. Yet Americans have
been known to send large shipments
of shoes to Central American coun-
tries, which from the point Of view
of the experts, Is just about as
absurd. A few people, mostly
foreigners or foreign stock do wear
shoes in Central American, but the
mass of the population has no use
for them. This is the sort of in
formation the Bureau stands ready
to give and does daily. Thousands
of letters and kilograms pour into
the Bureau every day and are ans
wered, For instance, if an Ameri-
can automobile manufacturer doesn't
know that. cars to be shipped to
England should have a right hand
drive because people there drive ON
the left hand side of the road, he
can find out from the Bureau.
The American business man, max
ing inquiries of the Bureau will not
find a few Government clerks bound
up in red tape. He will find him
self referred to the commodity di-
vision that fits his case, whether he
manufactures farm tractors or en-
broidery needles and there he will
experts, formerly in business in his
w trade, who speak his language,
know his trade terms and, in addi-
ton, know how and where to sell
such goods abroad. He will find a
division of commercial laws which
will tell him about the regulations
and native laws governing deliveries
collections and such information fol-
any country in the world. He car
find out what the tariff is on a con.
signment of sewing machines oil
butter curns or anything else tc
any country in the world.
Furthermore, the Bureau will as.
sist him finding out if the foreign
merchant to whom he wants to shiI
goods is able to pay for Them With
Its trade commissioners, commercial
attaches, and various other agents
scattered over the world 1t can as.
certain on short notice the market
prices, state of stocks and condition
of trade anywhere on the globe
These agents also constantly are or
the lookout for orders for American
concerns in these foreignes coun
tries. They are not authorized Il
take orders directly themselves, blu
they are constantly active in put
ting the American statesmen in toucl
with likely buyers. When they learl
that a merchant is in the marke
for some sort of goods, the informa
ton is sent Immediately to Wash
ington whence 1t is distributes
among the makers of the particula
goods desired.
While the chief effort Of this grea
J business bureau of the Government
is bent toward the sale of American
/, goods abroad, there recently ha

SEES Value OF
SPECULATION
DR.. Riegel Tells Credit Men
Growers Are Saved Money
Losses
GRAIN FUTURES
BILL DISCUSSED

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-The
present system OF farm products
speculation is entirely essential TO
the farmer in that It saves him from
serious losses in a great many trans
actions, according to DIR. Robert
Riegel, professor at the Wharton
School OF the University OF Pennsyl-
vania. who addressed the members
OF the Philadelphia Association of
Credit Men at their weekly luncheon
in the Hotel Adelphis yesterday aft
ernoon.
I'm a great many instances # has
been shown said DR.. Riegel, that
spectators have ssved farmers from
heavy financial losses that they
would have suffered by the fluctua-
ton of prices. The farmer is not
compelled TO sell at a consumers
price. because the speculator buys
the farmers grain at a period when
grain is being shipped to the mar
kets in great quantities. It is a mat
ter for the Spectator to decide when
the period of greatest shipment will
be and then buy grain accordingly.
Compiled statistics in the city of
Minneapolis for the period from 1908
to 1912 show that the-farmer would
have lost money in sixty-nine out OF,
the 100 months had he not sold to
spectators at the proper time. In
Chicago, for the same period, It has
been shown that farmers would have
lost money in eighty-fve months of
the 100 by not placing their grain
on the market after harvest. Stats
tics for-the priod of 1913 to 1920
show the same tendency.
Section 3 of the proposed Grain
Future act provides few transactions
In grain by Boards of Trade, which
are detrimental TO the producers and
consumers. due TO the sudden and
fluctuation In prices
which result Twelve leading econ
omists of the country agree in say
ing that section 3 is untrue, but the
bill is not to he condemned for this. |
