Marvelous strides have been made by the Port of Portland as a foreign trade . factor within recent months and the city .probably will roll up the magnificent total of J75.000.000 in exports during 1920. according to a brief summary of the accomplish ments of the Chamber of Commerce, co-operating with other civic or ganizations, made by H. B. Van Duzer, president, at the weekly meet ing of the members forum yesterday. His declarations were loudly cheered by one of the largest crowds attend ing in recent weeks. Mr. Van Duzer's prediction that Portland will have this year a total export business of J75.000.000, means that, if it does, it will double the business of any preceding year a magnificent record and he said that. considering present activity and re cent developments, he believes this figure will be reached. . "Portland may have been slow in the past," said Mr. Van Duzer, "but of late you have all been hearing that this city is "coming back.' I want you to understand right now that Portland is already back; this port has been making such rapid strides during the past few weeks that it is hard to keep tab on every thing that is being done, especjally along shipping lines. 1 repeat that Portland is already back and on the foreign trade map in a big way. Recent Event Reviewed. Mr. Van Duzer briefly reviewed the shipping achievements recently ac complished through the activity of the chamber's efforts, backed by the Port of Portland, the commission of public docks and other strong inter ests. He gave much credit for the recent allocation of steamers to this port and to Columbia river points in general to the friendly attitude of the Han Francisco firm of Sudden & Christensen. The executive head of this firm, he said, chanced to be in Washington at the same time as W. D. B. Dodson, executive secre tary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and he joined his influence with that of the local interests and helped this city to get what was right and proper. The aggregate tonnage of steamers allocated to Portland, Mr. Van Duzer said, is 115,000, and this splendid lot of vessels will take from Portland to foreign-trade points a total of 38.000 tons every month. The value of these vessels he placed at $22, 750,000. "It will be seen at a glance," said Mr. Van Duzer, "that when we used to talk about organizing Portland owned and Portland-controlled lines, such as the Columbia-Pacific Ship ping company, and discussed the project in terms of $3,000,000 to $10, 000,000, we were talking wide of the mark. Those ums. even if obtained by ' subscriptions- from our citizens, would not have been anywhere near sufficient for the purpose. Now comes the government, through the shipping board, and allocates these fine ships for our use. Shipment nest Urged, "With the other shipping activities, such as the Oceanic line, the Admir'al liners of the Pacific Steamship com pany, the Isthmian and the French liners going out of this port, we have been put on the foreign trade map in big figures within recent months." Mr. Van Duzer appealed to those present and to all others in this com munity who may be able to control freight shipments coming to the port from Atlantic ports, to make it pos sible for it to be brought on the ships just allocated, so that the gov ernment will not have to send the vessels here in ballast. Mr. Van Duzer also emphasized the importance of the seventh an nual convention of the National For eign Trade "council, to be held in San Francisco May 12 to 15. urging that as many business men from this city as can go indicate at once. He said that 80 have signified their intention, of going, and there will be 20 from Astoria. sentatlve of the San Francisco board of underwriters, returned to his office In tni city yesterday from a trip to San Fran Cisco.

Wash., March 22. (Spe ll.) Three Tacoma export flouring mills, with their warehouses, are con gested with 200,000 barrels of flour sold to the United States Grain cor poration and awaiting shipment as fast as steamships are provided. The Sperry Flour company shipped 5000 barrels of flour on the steamer Edmore to Honkong last week. This was the first vessel to load flour in his port for the orient since the war began. Under present conditions American flour cannot compete with rice and cheap native flours. The Sperry warehouses are jammed with 5,000 barrels of flour awaiting off- hore shipment. Trade with the Ha waiian islands will be resumed when the Matson liners Hyades and Eastern Guide go on the run again. The Eastern Mariner loaded flour at this mill during the last week for the orient. In April the Puget Sound Flouring mills will lose the steamship Brae holm with a full cargo of 58.000 bar rels for Alexandria, Egypt. This will be the first flour cargo from Puget Sound for Africa in 15 years. That market is supplied usually by India nd Australia. The Portland .mill of the same company will ship a cargo to Alexandria next month also. The steamer Eastern Mariner loaded 500 tons of flour at the Puget Sound mills last week and still 20,000 tons remain in storage there.
