the bands of American business men
were tied, the President discussed his
Ideals for the new tariff commission.
"We have admitted." he said, "that
on the one side and on the other side
we were talking theories and managing
policies without a sufficient knowledge
of the facts upon which we were act
ing." He added that he hoped he could
find men for the commission who will
"see the facts and state them, no mat
ter whoso opinion those facts contra
dict." The President In his address said:
1 want to speak to you about the
business situation of the world so far
as America is concerned. I am not
going to take the liberty of discussing
that business situation from the spe
cial point of view of your association,
because I know that I would be bring
ing coals to New Castle. I know that
I am speaking to men who understand
the relation or the grain business to
the business of the, world very much
better than I oo, and I know that it is
true that, except under very unusual
circumstances, such as have existed
in the immediate past, the export of
grain from this country has been a
diminishing part of our foreign com
merce rather than an Increasing part,
that the increase of our population, the
decrease in proportion to that increase
of our production of grains, has been
rendering the question of foreign
markets less important, though still
very important, than it was in past
generations so far as the dealing in
grain is concerned.
Grain yield to Be Doubled.
"I also remember, however, that we
have only begun in this country the
process bf which the full product of
our agricultural acreage . is to be ob
tained. The agricultural acreage of
this country ought to produce twice
what it is now producing and under
the stimulation and instruction which
have recently been characteristic of
agricultural development, I think we
can confidently predict that within, let
us say, a couple of decades, the agri
cultural production of this country will
be something like double, whereas
there is no likelihood that the popula
tion of this country will be doubled
within the same time. Vou can look
forward, therefore, it seems to me, with
Mine degree of confidence to an in
creasing and perhaps a rapidly increas
ing volume of the products in which
you deal
"I have come to discuss the general
relations of the United States , to the
business of the world, in the decades
immediately ahead of us. We have
swung 'out, my fellow-citizens, into a
business era in America. 1 suppose
there is no man connected with your
association who does not remember the
time when the whole emphasis of
American business discussion was laid
upon the domestic market. But it hap
pened that American production, not
only in the agricultural field and in
mining, but also in manufacture, has
increased in recent years to such a
volume that American business burst
its jacket. It could not any longer be
taken care of within the fields of the
domestic markets, and when that be
gan to disclose itself as the situation
we also became aware that American
business had not studied foreign mar
kets, that they did not know the com
merce of the world, and that they did
not have the ships in which to take
their proportionate part in the carry
ing trade of the world.
Banking Laws Inadequate.
"One of the most Interesting circum
stances of our business history is this:
The banking laws of the United States
I mean the Federal bank laws did
not put the National banks in a posi
tion to do foreign exchange under fa
vorable conditions, and it was actually
true that private banks and sometimes
branch banks drawn out of other coun
tries, notably out of Canada, were es
tablished at our chief ports to do what
American bankers ought to have done.
It was as if America was not only un
accustomed to touching all the nerves
of the world's business, but was disin
clined to touch them and had not- pre
pared the instrumentalities by which
It might take part in the great com
merce of the globe.
"Only in recent years have we been
even studying the problem of provid
ing ourselves with the instrumentali
ties. Not until the recent legislation
of Congress, known as the Federal re
serve act were the Federal banks of
this country given the proper eauip
ment through which they could assist
American commerce, not only in our
own country, but In any part of the
world where they chose to set up
branch institutions. British banks had
been serving British merchants all over
the world, German banks had been
serving German merchants all over the
world, and no National bank of the
united States had been serving Ameri
can merchants anywhere in the world
except in the United States.
Scene Completely Changed.
"We had, as it were, deliberately re
frained from playing our part in the
field in which we prided ourselves that
we were most ambitious and most ex
pert the field of manufacture and of
commerce.
"All that is past and the scene has
been changed by the events of the last
two years, almost suddenly and with a
completeness that almost daunts the
planning mind. Not only when this
war is over, but now, America has her
place in the world, and must take her
place in the world of finance and com
merce upon a scale that she never
dreamed of before.
"My dream is .that she will take her
place in that great field Ln a new spirit
which the world has never seen be
fore; not the spirit of those who would
exclude others, but the spirit of those
who would excel others. The first
thing that brains have to feed upon
is knowledge, and when I hear men
proposing to deal with the business
problems of the United States in the
future as we dealt with them in the
past, I do not have to inquire any
further whether they are equipped with
knowledge. I dismiss them from the
reckoning because I know that the
facts are going to dominate and they
know nothing about the facts.
"The most that we can supply our
selves Just now is not the detailed pro
gramme of policy, but the instrumen
talities of gaining thorough knowledge
of what we are about. Every man of
us must for isome time to come be
from Missouri.' We. must want to
know what the facts are, and when we
know what the facts are we shall knot
what the policy ought to.be.
"What instrumentalities have w e
provided ourselves with in order that
we may be equipped with knowledge?
There has been an Instrumentality in
operation for four or five years of
which, strangely enough. American
business men nave only slowly become
aware. Some four or five years ago
Congress established in connection
with the department which was then
the Department of Commerce and La
bor (now the Department of Commerce) I
a bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce, and one of the advantages
which the American Government has
had is that it has been able to hlru
brains for much less than the brains
are worth. It is ln a way a National
discredit to us, my fellow citizens, that
we are paying studious men capable of
understanding anything and of con
ducting any business Just about one
third of what they could command in
the 'field of business; and it is one of
the admirable circumstances of Ameri
can life that they are proud to serve
the Government on a pittance.
"There are such men in the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
They have been studying the foreign
commerce of this country as it was
never studied before, and I have found,
to my amazement, that some of the
best of those reports seem never to
have been read. It needed the catas
trophe and the tragedy of this war to
awaken American business men to the
fact that these were the things which
they must know and know at once.
Commlsxlon Friend of Business.
"In addition to. that, there was re
cently created tne Federal Trade Com
mission. It is hard to describe the
functions of that Commission, but all
I can say is that it has transformed
the Government of the United States
from being an antagonist of business
into being a friend of business. It has
always been a fiction that there was
a contest between the law and busi
ness. There always has been a con
test ln every government between the
law and bad business, and I do not
want to see that contest softened in
any way; but there never has been any
contest between men who intended the
right thing and the men who' -administered
the law. One of the functions of
the Federal Trade Commission is to
inquire, with the fullest powers, into
all the circumstances of American busi
ness for the purpose of doing for
American business exactly what the
Department of Agriculture has so long
done for the farmer, informing the
American business man of every ele
ment, big and litCe, with which it Is
his duty to deal.
"Then, in the third place, you know
that we have Just now done what it
was a common sense thing to do about
the tariff. We have not put this into
words, but I do not hesitate to put
into words. We have admitted that'
on the one side and on the other we
were talking theories and policies
without a sufficient knowledge of the
facts, and therefore we have established
what is intended to be a non-partisan
tariff commission to study the condi
tions with which legislation has to deal
in the matter of the relations of Amer
ica with foreign business tranactions.
Another eye created to see the facts!
Information to Be Shared.
"Then, when the knowledge is ob
tained, what are we going to do? One
of the things that interests me most
about an association of this sort is that
the intention of it is that the members
should share a common body of infor
mation and that they concern among
themselves those operations of business
which are beneficial to all of them,
that instead of a great body. Instead of
a large number of dealers in grain,
acting separately and each fighting for
his own hand, you are willing to come
together and study the problem, as if
you were partners and brothers and co-
operators in this field of business. That
has been going tn in every occupation
in the United States of any- conse
quence. Even the men that do the
advertising have been getting together
and they have made this startling and
fundamental discovery that the only
way to advertise successfully is to tell
the truth. There are many reasons for
that. One of the chief reasons is that
when you .get found out, it is worse
for you than it was before. But the
great 'reason, the sober reason, is that
business must be founded on the truth
and you men get together ln order to
create a clearing-house for the truth
about your business.
"Very well; that is a picture in small
of what we must do in the large. We
must co-operate in the whole field of
business, the Government with the mer
chant, the merchant with his employe.
the whole body of producers with the
whole body of consumers to see that
the right things are produced in the
right volume, and find the right pur
chasers at the right place, and that, all
working together, we realize that noth
ing can be for the common benefit
which is not for the. individual benefit.
Webb Bill Explained.
"You know that there was intro
duced in the House of Representatives
recently a bill commonly called the
Webb bill, for the purpose of slating
it is the policy of the law of the
Lnited States that nothing in the anti
trust law now exlstjng should be in
terpreted to interfere with the proper
sort of co-operation among exporters.
The foreign field is not like the do
mestic field. The foreign field is full
of combinations meant to be exclusive.
The anti-trust laws of the United
oiaies are inrenaea to prevent any
Kind or combination in the United
States which shall be exclusive of new
enterprises within the United States;
but the export business is a big busi
ness, a complicated business, an ex
pensive business, and it will be possi
ble and legal for men engaged in ex
porting to get together and manage it
in groups, so that they can manage it
at an advantage instead of at a dis
advantage as compared with foreign
rivals. Not for the purpose of ex
clusive and monopolistic competition.
but for the purpose of co-operation,
and there is a very wide difference
there.
"I for myself, despise monopoly and
I have an enthusiasm for co-operation.
By co-operation I mean working along
with anybody who is willing to work
along with you under definite under
standings and arrangements which will
constitute a sound business programme
There can be no Jealousy of that and if
there had been time, I can say with
confidence that this bill which passed
the House of Representatives would
have passed the Senate of the United
States also. So that any obstacle that
ingenious lawyers may find in the anti
trust laws will be removed. I was a
lawyer once myself before I reformed.
and I can divide a hair twixt north and
northeast side, but I do not think It is
worth while, and I do not think that
statutes are the places for ingenuity.
A statute ia intended to lay down a
broad and comprehensive" and National
policy, and it ought to be read in that
light. But there would be no fun in
punctuation if you had to read it that
way. The purpose of legislation in the
immediate future in this country is
going to be to remove all Ingenious
constructions and make it perfectly
clear. what the liberties as well as the
restraints of trade are in this country.
"There must be co-operation, not
only between the Government and the
business man, but between the business
men. Shippers must co-operate and
they ought to be studying right now
how to co-operate. There are a great
many gentlemen in other countries who
can show them how, and they ought
to look forward, particularly to caring
for this matter, that they have ve
hicles in which to carry their goods.
We must address ourselves immediate
ly and as rapidly as possible to the
re-creation of a great American mer
chant marine. Our present situation Is
very like this: Suppose that a man
who had a great department store did
not have any delivery waggons and de
pended upon his competitors in the
same market to deliver his goods to
hlH customers. You know what would
happen. They wouli deliver their own
goods first and they would deliver
yours only If yours were to be deliv
ered upon the routes followed by their
wagons. That is an exact picture of
what is taking place in our foreign
trade at this minute. Foreign vessels
carry our goods where they, the for
eign vessels, happen to be going, and
they carry them only if they have room
in addition to what they are carrying
for other people. You cannot conduct
trade ln that way. That is conducting
trade on sufference. That Is conduct
ing trade on an "if you please" plan.
That is conducting trade on the basis
of service, the point' of view of which
is not your advantage. Therefore we
cannot lose any time ln getting deliv
ery wagons.
New Connections Must Be Made.
"There has been a good deal of dis
cussion about this recently, and it has
been said. 'The Government must not
take any direct part in this. You must
let private capital do it,' and the reply
was: 'All right, go' ahead." "Oh. but
we will not go ahead unless you help
us." We said, very well, then, we will
go ahead, but we will not need your
help because we do not want to com
pete where you are already doing the
carrying business, but where you are
not doing the carrying business and
it has to be done for some time at a
cost. We will undertake to do it at a
cost until that route is established and
we will give place to private capital
whenever private capital is ready to
take the place.' That sounds like a
very reasonable proposition. 'We will
carry your goods one way when we
have to come back empty the other
way and lose money on the voyage,
and when there are cargoes both ways
and it is profitable to carry them, we
shall not insist upon carrying them
any longer."
"It is absolutely necessary now to
make good our new connections. Our
new connections are with the great and
rich republics to the south of us. For
the first time in my recollection they
are beginning to trust and believe in
us and want us, and one of my chief
concerns has been to see that nothing
was done that did not show friendship
and good faith on our part.
. West Coast of South America Near.
"The great interesting geographical
fact to me is by the opening of the
Panama Canal there is a straight line
south from New York through the
Canal to the western coast of South
America, which hitherto has been one
of the most remote coasts in the world
so far as we were concerned, and that
the west coast of South America is
now nearer to us than the eastern coast
of South America ever was to us, so
that we have the open Atlantic upon
which to approach the east coast.
"Here is the loom all ready upon
which to spread the threads which can
be worked into a fabric of friendship
and wealth such as we have never
known before. The real wealth of for
eign relationships, my fellow citizens,
whether they are the relationships of
trade or any other kind of intercourse,
the real wealth of those relationships
is the wealth of mutual confidence and
understanding. If we do not under
stand them and they do not understand
us, we cannot trade with them, much
less be their friends, and it is only by
weaving these intimate threads of con
nection that we shall be able to estab
lish that fundamental thing, that psy
chological, spiritual Nexus which is.
after all, the real warp and woof of
trade itself.
"There is only one thing I have ever
been ashamed about in America, and
that was the timidity and tearfulness
of Americans in the presence of for
eign competitors. I have dwelt among
Americans all my life and am an In
tense absorbent of the atmosphere of
America, and I know by personal ex
perience that there are as effective
brains in America as anywhere in the
world. An American afraid to pit
American business men against any
competitors anywhere! Enterprise, the
shrewdness the Americans have shown,
the knowledge of business which thev
have shown, all these things are going
to raane ior tnat peaceful and honor
able conquest of foreign markets,
which is our reasonable ambition.
"A friend of mine was once invited
to attend a peace meeting. He said
he would come with pleasure if he
mignt De permitted to explain that
most of the men sitting on the nlnt-
form were engaged in fomentlnsr war.
and when he was asked to explain this
pieasing meaning, he said: "I have
looked over the list of the men who
constitute your Legislative committee
ana almost every one of them is en
gaged in doing things to excite the
hostility and disturb the National feel
ing or men In foreign countries, nar.
ticularly in the Orient, which will in-
evitamy lead to war sooner or later.'
The combinations of the modern mrM
that are lasting are not the competi
tions of physical force. They are the
competitions of intellectual force. The
competitions of business either lay the
foundations of respect and mutual con
fidence, or the foundations of suspicion
ciuiL mutual nostlllty.

PARIS, via London, Sept. 25. Al
though official communications have
shed little light on recent develop
ments in the war situation, it is learned
from staff officers that the battles at
all important points on General Brus-
siloff's front are again assuming the
intensity which characterized the first
period of his advance.
The principal centers of action are
the districts near Vladimir Volynskl
and west of Lutsk, the Halicz region
and the Carpathians, and in each of
these territories there has been a gen
eral resumption of the fighting, which
has spread to adjacent sectors until
the whole southwestern war theater
from the Pripet marshes to the Danube
may be said to be again in action.
tente allies come from their various
war chancellories. West of Fiorina the
Russians have captured a hill from the
Bui gars, the Serbians have crossed the
frontier into their own country and
reached a position north of Krusogrud,
while the French northeast of Fiorina
have- penetrated the outskirts of Pe
torak. The British to the north of Lake
Tahinos, on the eastern end of the bat
tle line, also report an advance, but
Berlin says that all their attacks were
repulsed.
Aside from th,e capture by the Ital

on the Trentlno front, only bombard
ments have taken place in the Austro-Italian-

LONDON, Sept. 26. According to Ath
ens dispatches received here, M. Ven
izelos will Issue a manifesto to the
Greek people from Canea. Island of
Crete, where he probably will direct the
formation of a separatist government.
Besides Admiral Concuriotis, the dis
patches add, those accompanying M.
Venizelos include all the members of
his former Cabinet, with the exception
of M. Raktavin, Minister of Justice.
The proclamation of M. Venizelos, it
is said, will Invite King Constantino to
put himself at the head of a National
defense movement.
An Athens dispatch to the Dally
Chronicle says the Venizelos procla
mation will provide the last opportunity
for King Constantino to plaoe himself
and his government in line with the
wishes of the majority of the Greek
people, who do not want any declara
tion of the dethronement of the
monarch.
The dispatch says Venizelos will call
for a general mobilization throughout
the Island of Crete for the purpose of
national defense. He will then visit
Mytilene. Chaos and Samoa before pro
ceeding to Saloniki.
Monday's War Moves
A TTACKING simultaneously on an
ii arc of 13 miles, running from
Martinpulch to the Somme, the British
and French forces have delivered an
other smashing blow on the German
lines and pushed forward their posi
tions for notable gains.
From Martinpulch to Combles. a dls.
tance of six miles, the British have
driven in their wedge to a depth of
more than a mile and captured ln the
attack the importatnt strategic towns
of Lesboeufs and Morval. the' latter a
scant mile north of Combles.
To the French fell the town of Ran
court, two miles east, and the outskirts
of Fregicourt, one mile northeast of
Combles. In addition trenches near
Fregicourt, in the vicinity of Bon
chavesnes and to the south from the
vicinity or the Canal du Nord to the
Somme were taken.
The capture of Morval by the British
and of part of Fregicourt by the
French apparentry seals the fate of
Combles, which the Germane have de
terminedly held for weeks despite the
violent attacks thrown against it. The
defenders of the virtually surrounded
town have left to them for escape only
the valley, a mile ln width, running
north-northeast, and ln the traversing
or which they must come under the
guns of the British and French, re
spectively, from Morval and the vicin
ity of Fregicourt.
Another noteworthy step in their ap
proach upon Peronne is marked in the
capture by the French of trenches in
the Canal du Nord region.
Except in France there have been no
important engagements on any of the
various fronts. Berlin reports the re
pulse of Russian attacks in Volhynia,
Gallcla, and the Carpathian Mountains,
Petrograd is etill silent as to the opera
tions on the eastern front, but unof
ficial advices say the Russians have
begun a new offensive on a large scale
in the hope of putting down the counter
attacks of the Teutons and piercing
their front before Winter sets ln.
The Roumanians are still straggling
for supremacy over the Teutonic al
lies in the Szurduk and Vulcan passes
of the Transylvanian Alps, but accord
ing to Berlin, all their attacks have
been repulsed.
