WORLD OF TRADE
CHANGED BY WAD
Germany's Ruined Commerce
Will Meet With Difficulties
in Path of Restoration.
AMERICA AND ALLIES WAKE
Commercial Frightfulness, Like Its
Military Namesake, Will Have
Tassed Away, Says Mr. Ked
Ueld at Southern Congress.
KE-W Tor.K, Oct. 16. What a dif
ferent world of trade this will be after
the war was pictured to the Southern
Commercial Congress here tonight by
secretary Kedfleld. In an address tell
Ins of the cutting of the threads of
Oermany s foreign commerce by her
own act and of the awakening of Amer
ica and her allies to the danger of
having thet rlndustries dependent upon
foreign and possibly unfriendly sources
oi supply.
"When peace shall come and her
merchants atke up the task of restor
ing Germany's ruined commerce, they
wui una mat it is a strange world
which they seek to re-enter," said the
Secretary. .
"There will be difficulties In the
path of future peaceful penetration of
wnicn tney seem not to dream. Com
mercial frightfulness, like its military
ua.uiesa.Ke, win nave passed away.
German Control Ended.
"It will hardly be said again to any
raecreiary or Jommerce of the United
States that the German dyestuff vereln
will not permit" the establishment of
an American dyestuff industry. The
monopolies on which German foreign
commerce In large part seem to rest
secure have passed away. Our friends
beyond the sea and we ourselves have
learned the danger of having our indus
tries wholly dependent on foreign
sources of supply which may become
unfriendly."
"It Is pitiful to read extracts from
the German press which seem to show
that they expect to take up the task
or rebuilding their commerce where
tney laid It down.
"I need not tell you of the commer
cial value of what we call goodwill'
or point the advantage of doing busi
ness ne a 'going' concern. The great
markets of the world have been, and
are to be, found among the nations
who have parted company with Ger
many in the present struggle. The peo
ples of these lands are not likely by
one common impulse to turn quickly
to Germany for a renewal of commer
cial intercourse which was broken by
her act.
Thins Seen Differently.
"It must be renewed under clrcum
atances of peculiar hardship. It would
be a strange world upon which the
German merchant will look when war
ehall close, so let me add it will be
In a learge measure a Strang world
which the American merchant will look
out at at the same time. When em
bargoes are over and trading with the
enemy acts shall have ceased to trou
The novelty will not on our part' arise
ble, we also shall see things differently,
upon separation, but the reverse. We
have gained and are gaining' a better
inderstnnrllnx of th world we live in. I
Scales of provincialism
from our eyes.
"If we were those who look upon the
peaceful contents of commerce as eco
nomic war, we should hardly feel we
could speak with freedom In the
presence of coming days when normal
commercial Intercourse throughout the
world shall replace present restricted
conditions, for we recognize as a mat
ter of course as an opportunity and a
duty they are not slow to see. and upon
which they rightly act, that the na
tions associated with us In this war
are preparing for their proper share of
the world's business when the war shall
close.
"Believing as we do. however, that
commerce is not war, but mutual In

ThU kind of "respectability" hna a

necessary part of the education of n

This, you may have noticed, sepa
