n NATIONAL FOREIGN TRADE
N WEEK opens today in an at
" mosphere of growing appre-
ciation of the importance OF
foreign commerce as form OF insur-
ance for industry against domestic
depression.
The effects of the present recession
of American business are constantly
being alleviated by an expanding de-
mand for American goods in foreign
markets, and American workers. who
would otherwise be out of Jobs. are
being kept at work through a grow
ing attention by industrialists to for
eign trade.
Yet the idea of foreign trade has
not overcome all opposition. The
ranks OF those who favor less atten-
ton to exports, because they necessi-
tate stimulation Of imports as well,
are numerous and vocal.
The claim Of these economic ma
tionalists is that more intensified ex-
ploitation of the American market,
with complete exclusion Of foreign
products-the need of which might
be filled by some American industry
will in the long run provide the Amer
ican workmen with more stable en-
ployment, and keep at home the
wealth produced in America.
It is precisely at moments such as
these that the value of diversified
trade As insurance against depression
Is proved. The farmer long ago learned
this principle Of diversiflcation, and
the man who profits from his toll in
the soil is the man who grows wide
variety Of foodstuffs suited to the
varieties Of weather he is likely to en-
counter.
Specific cases exist showing how
foreign trade is right now saving the
jobs of hundreds of thousands, easing
the load on already overburdened re-
lief rolls, to say nothing Of protecting
industrial corporations against larger
losses.
THE barometer of business activity
prepared for Nations Business

of the 1928-l930 average. compared
to 81 per cent In August Of last year.

showed q big increase in the last
quarter Of 1897 and only the usual

Comparing the first quarter Of 1888

port trade has held up against the
sharp slump in domestic business.
Business activity ranged about 30 per
cent lower, whereas export trade was
about IS per cent higher.
Getting down to actual cases. the
automobile industry demonstrates the
point admirably. The index of pro-
duction now is about so per cent be-
low the first quarter of last year. but
exports of automobiles and parts show
virtually no change, and are actually
higher than the last four months of
1887, when the recession began to be
felt.
On the basis of these figures. OBJ
tanned from Federal Reserve indexes,
export trade appears to be the main
stay of the automobile manufa cturers
at this moment. and it provides
living for several millions Of workers
and their families. The same story
can be told about at least a dozen
other industries, large and small.
Behind this remarkable phenomenon
stands the only organized world move
ment for the removal of distractions
to exchange of goods between ma
tions-the reciprocal trade program.
To date II trade agreements have
been signed. covering nearly 40 per
cent of this country's foreign COM
merce. and negotiations are under way
with others-Great Britain and Tur-
key-which will bring more than half
our trade under the reciprocal trade
regime.
Exports to countries with which
agreements are in effect have ex-
panded more rapidly than to those
outside the program. while imports
from agreement countries have not
increased in proportion. chiefly be-
cause negotiations have been concen-
trated In those countries where Amer
ican trade could be expanded at least
cost to American industry in increased
competition through imports.
NATIONWIDE recognition Of this
rapidly expanding factor in Amer
ican trade and industry is being spon-
sored this week by the United States
Chamber of Commerce. with the CO.
operation Of more than 1000 cham
bers Of commerce, schools. clubs and
other interested groups In 43 States.

Grease Slid Him Out

Sizzling Butter: Recently an at
tendant at st. Lizzies was en-
route home with a package under
his arm Although he was
outside the boundaries of the hos.
pital, he was stopped by a guard.
and when the butter was dis
covered the employe was third-de-
greed as to where he got it, the
charge being that he had filched
it from st. Lizzie supplies .
Colleagues declared the attendant
actually bought the butter in an
Anacostia grocery, and that he
proved it before the tribunal -
but our last word from the agency
was to the effect he is still sus-
pended. "A change in guard ad-
ministration at st. Lizzies has
proven unpopular with some, one
item being that gates now close
at 6 to outsiders" thus interfer-
ing greatly with schedules Of
nurses and boy friends.
