SEES i. S. EXPORTS
STEADILY GROWING
Commerce Bureau Chief
Notes Increase Despite
Handicaps Due to War.
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Though the United States has had
TO become purveyor OF manuIac-
tured goods to world trade rather ina n
source of raw materials and agfl-
cultural products, since the war II mas
managed substantially to increase It's
exports, DR.. Julius Klein, chief OF the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
n1erce, pointed out today in his an
nual report.
Considering the results of foreign
trade for the fiscal year ending last
July, he said the total foreign sales OF
the United States were 120 per cent
greater than the yearly average from
1910 to 1914 Allowing for the gen
orally higher price levels. the exports
represented a quantity 80 per cent
greater than pre-war exports.
Farm Products Kept at Fore.
There has been no relaxation in the
countrys efforts to export farm prod
ucts, DR. Klein added. but in the face
of the European agricultural recov-
cry, it has been impossible to keep
such trade to the War-swollen volume
It once attained.
THE exports of finished and partly
finished manufacture in the fiscal year
1925-26 reached the huge sum of 81
b12, 1000. 900, he said. 'Flnlshed manu-
factures show even greater growth
than partly manufactured goods"
High quality and low cost OF pro.
duction in the quantity output OF
American goods was the cause as
signed for the showing.
National Efficiency Increased.
THE cumulation of these forces has
Increased our national efficiency to
degree which I hesitate TO express sta
tistically, lest we appear to exagger-
ate" he continued. While we have
increased our population Is or II per
cent in a dozen years. we have swelled
productivity of the Nation by some
thing like 80 or 35 per cent. This is
why we are able to sell goods of high
quality, produced under the highest
real wages in the world. in competition
with goods produced under lower
standards of living. These methods
are no secret; but they are rooted in
social conceptions which not only
promise greatly for the future in our
standards of living at home. but pro
vide the basic assurance of our con-
tinuing growth in foreign trade

Fire Prevention
Important in All
Maine Wood Sections

State Forest Commissioner Neil L.
Violette in a statement Monday said
that forest fire prevention is as i'm
portant in one part of Maine as it is
in another.
MANY think Of the forest land as
being grouped in the northern and
eastern part of the State" continued
Commissioner Violette.
ut is true that 100000 acres of
forest land are located in those Sec
tions, but it is also true that there
are 100000 acres consisting prin-
cipally of small woodlots from so to
300 acres scattered through the or
ganiZed towns in the southern and
western part of the State.
These woodlots are vast i'm
portance and a great help to the
farmers. Many times where gardens
and orchards fail to produce, the far
mer can turn to his woodlot for re-
sources to carry him through the
winter or until such time as his 9TH
er crops come into bearing.
"The annual cut from these wood
lots amounts to S12,000,000 per year
and keeps over so portable saw-mills
running, which employ upwards of a
thousand men.
'"There are also a large number OF
wooden novelty concerns, furniture
manufacturers and other industries
which depend upon the farmer and
his woodlot to furnish them with
their raw material.
These woodlots are especially
susceptible to fire as most of them
are located in or near roads where
a cigar or cigarette thrown from a
passing automobile may start a fire
which will throw men, with families
