HOOVER RECEIVES EXPORT. COMMITTEE
Wants Public Mind ColrGtd
 About Country's Futurt
TALKS ON FOREIGN TRADE
Tells New Yorker Recuperatton of World Will Make Trade Competi- tion Intensive and We Must Get Our Share of Business.

Washington. Oct. IS R-Speak- ing to members of the Hoover Cur tis national export committee, Her bert Hoover said today that it was of extreme importance that the men who have their eyes fixed on the ball of Americas future should get into this campaign to see that the public mind IS corrected" as there are many issues and move- ments that have nothing to do Fundamentally with the prosperity and progress of the country"
 Appreciates Visit
 T appreciate your coming here and offering your support" the nominee said in greeting the busi- ness men who called at his head quarters. You all know how I have felt during these years that one primary factor in the sta bility of American business and continuation of employment has been the expan- sion of foreign trade, and in our endeavors to build up that expan- sion I think we have built up some thing else that Is perhaps equally important.
 For the first time so far as l know in the history of government. government has been placed on the basis of cooperation rather than on q basis of compulsion. You know the vast number of committees that we have set up in every single ex- port, not formal committees but ac tual working committees who have developed a coordination of trade activities and expanded the govern. ment facilities incidental to theil work. thereby developing a strategy and a technique in trade expansion such as the world has never seen I think the results show in our trade every day"
 Many Opportunities
 You know as we'll as I know the enormous volume of opportunities that are constantly coming into American industry through the gov ernmental agencies throughout the world. and the effect they have had in the actua: expansion of trade But moro important than that. this whole organization set up in coop eration with industry and export all over the country, has resulted in di- recting the public mind and our merchants and manufacturers to the primary necessity of trade as tho basis of stability. So that we have many gains out of 1t. We have the gain in employment. probably to the extent of four or five hundred thou sand In the export trade alone. The next few years are going to be a time of necessity for even more in- tensive cooperation. for the recuper. ation of the world is going to make competition more intensive. At the same time the world is going to ex. in its demands enormously and our problem is to gel our share of the expansion. We do not want the other mans trade

The election of the lord mayor is
usually formal proceeding and today's
unconventional action in passing up Sir
Harold is the first election of its kind
