FOREIGN TRADE
IS HELPEDB
j. s. FILMS
Department Commerce Plans
Motion Picture Section to
Aid Producers
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH.


American motion pictures, doml-
mating 80 per cent of the worlds
theater markets, are facing serious
competition as the result of restric-
tions placed upon their exhibition in
some foreign countries.
To combat this situation and to
add to the popularity Of the products
of Hollywood and other film CEN
tiers, the Department of Commerce
is laying plans for the establishment
OF q motion picture section, it was
learned today.
Because of the vast superiority Of
American picture plays over those
of foreign manufacture, producers
abroad are forced to obtain govern
ment restrictions to prevent conf
plete monopoly of photodramas from
the United States, department Of
ficials said.
France recently restricted the use
of her public buildings and historical
gardens as a background for Amer
lean plays, while Germany has re-
stricted the exhibition OF American
films, forcing local exhibitors 10
present a portion of German made
attractions.
Motion pictures are becoming a
big factor in foreign trade from
many standpoints. Exports last
year were given a value Of $6.081,-
900, although officials said that the
actual market value probably was
ten times that figure.
Movies are proving a stimulant to
foreign trade in several industries.
Official reports show that in South
America, European countries and
South Africa, American commercial
influence is increasing as the result
OF exhibition of American photo.
plays. Manufacturers of mems and
women's clothing are profiting par
ticularly, taking away much trade
from London and Paris.

GAS MORE HUMANE

 A prominent surgeon, Jean Louis Faure, who saw much service dur ing the World war, writing to the Figaro. says that the use of poison gas is extremely mild If anything can be called mild In warfare. II alone allows military object to be gained without excessive massacrns and bloodshed. Men will hold a position to the last against explosiNr shells but a few well-placed gas shells will oblige them to evacuate before the losses are heavy.
 Gas does but little damage. The famous flood of gas at Prosnes, the most fatal case of Its use during the

war, hardly made more than 200 vic- tins less than a few we'll placed ex- piosiys bombs would have made.
 Men who have been gassed, how ever sad their fate. were not, in gen. eral, greater objects of pity than those who had been permanently maimed, trepanned or blinded.
