M. would Meet Competition. Baltimore. Sept. DS.-Speaklng to nearly 4000 people at the National Oraln Dealer' convention yesterday. President Wllwon prettlcted a new epoch of American commerce. He said that the new tariff commission, the reserve an 4 shipping acts and other measures of a similar nature have , paved the way for American business men to take advantage of trade oppor tunities. II i w address wan as near non-parti-aan as possible. The crowd assembled irreeted him with applause as he en tered the theatre, while, tbe band played "Dixie" and other tunes. Tlie cheering; lasted several minutes. His words were especially applauded when he said, regarding the relations of the United Stateg with Latin American na tions, that the chief concern had been to see that nothing was done to show lark of friendship and ?ood faith on the part of the United Htaten. Speaks ob Business In General. President Wilson said: "I want to speak to you about the business situation of the world so far as America is concerned. I am not do ing 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 lo Newcastle. I know that I am speaking to men who understand the relation of the grain business to the business of the world very much better than I do. 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 tart of our foreign com merce rather than an increasing part, that the increase of our population, the decrease in proportion to that in crease of our production of grains, lias been rendering the question of foreign markets less Important, though still very important, than it was m past generations so far as the dealing in grain is concerned. Would Enlarge. Production. "I also remember, however, that we have only begun in this country tne process by which the full product of our agricultural acreage la 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 -sgotfmrr will be doubled within the same time. Tou can look forward, therefore, it seems to me, with some degree of confidence to an In creasing and perhaps a rapidly lncreaa i ing volume of the products in which you deal. Hew Era In JLmerioa. "T 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 citisens, into a business era In America. I 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 (bayebj Every package and every tab let of genuine The Bayer v' 1$ ll B5 "ft" Sis sss. 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 tbe 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 hav the ships In which to take tneir proportionate part in the carry ing trade of the world. Porelg-n Exchange Kampered. "One of the most interesting cir cumstances 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 position to do foreign exchangswunder favorable conditions, and it wa? actu ally true that private banks and some times branch banks drawn out of other countries, notably out of Canada, were esi&oushed at our chief ports to do what American bankers ought to have done. It was as if America was not only unaccustomed to touching all the nerves or the world s business, but was disinclined to touch them and had not prepared the instrumentalities by which it might take part in the great commerce 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 equip 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 American merchants anywhere in the world except in the United. States. "We had, as it were, deliberately re frained from playing our part in the field in which we prided ourselves that we were most ambftlous and most ex pertthe field of manufacture and of commerce. Conditions Have Chanced. "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 commerce upon a scale that she never dreamed of before. "My dream is that she will take her place In that great field in a new spirit vhlch the world has never seen before; not the spirit of those who would ex elude others, but the spirit of those who would excel others. The first thing that brains have to feed upon Is knowledge, and whn 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 dd not have to inquire any further whether they are equipped with knowledge. I dismiss them from the reckoning because I know, that the frets 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 gram of policy, but the instrumental ltles of gaining thorough knowledge of what we are about Every man of us must for some 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 know what the policy ought to be. Waxes Survey of Equipment. "What instrumentalities have we pro vided 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 have only slowly become aware. Some four or five years ago congress established in connection with the department which was then the de partment of- commerce and labor (now the department of commerce) a bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, and one of the advantages which the Amer ican government has had la that It 'has been able to hire brains for much less than the brains are worth.

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 X have found, to my amazement, that some of the best of those reports ceem never to have been read. It needed tbe catastrophe 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. ructions of Trade Commission. In addition to that, there was re cently created the 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 business. There always has been a contest in every government between the Jaw and , bad business, and I do not want to see at a cost until that route is estab that contest softened in any way; but lished and we will rive dace to nri- there never has been any contest be-, tween men who mtenaea me ngni is ready to take the place.'. That thing and the men who administered sounds like a very reasonable propo the law. One of the functions of the I sition. 'We will carry your goods one federal trade commission is to inquire, way when we have to com back empty with the fullest powers, into all the ( the other way and lose money on the circumstances of American business voyage, and when there are cargoes for tne purpose of. doing for American both ways and it is profitable to carry business exactly what the department them, we shall not insist upon carry of agriculture has so long done for the 1 ing them any longer.' farmer, informing the American bus! ness man of every element, big and little, with which it Is his duty to deal, Theories Without Knowledge. "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 ono side and on the other we were talking theories ana 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 America with foreign business transac tions. Another eye created to see the facts! "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 information and that they concern among themselves those operations of business which are beneficial to all of them, that Instead of a great body, in stead 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 cooperators In this field of business. That has been going on in every occupation in the United States of any consequence. . Truth Only Will Prevail. "Even the men that do the advertis ing have been getting together and they have made this startling and fun damental 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 tne truth and you men get together In 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 niust cooperate in the whole field of business the government with the merchant, the merchant with his em ploye, the whole body of producers with the whole body of consumers to see that the right things are pro duced in the right volume and find the right purchasers at the right place, and that, all working together, w real ize that" nothing can be for the com mon benefit which is not for the in dividual benefit. Webb Bill Is Explained. "Tou know that there was Intro duced in the house of representatives recently a bill commonly called the Webb bill, for the purpose of stating it is the policy of the law of the United States that nothibg in the anti trust law now existing should be in terpreted to interfere with the proper sort of cooperation 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 States are intended to prevent any kind of combinatien In the United States which shall be exclusive of new enterprises wtthfti the United States, j 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 th purpose of ex clusive and monopolistic competition, hut for th.e purpose of cooperation, and there is a very wide difference there. Says He Despises Monopoly. "I for myself, despise monopoly and I have an enthusiasm for cooperation. By cooperation I mean working along with anybody who is willing to work along with you under definite under standings and arrangements whlrh will constitute a sound business program. 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 woulJ 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 n lawyer once myself before I reformed, and I can divide a hair twixt north and northeast side, and I do not think it is worth whlje, and I do not think that statutes are 'the places for Ingenuity. A statute is 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 countrv 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. Xegards Cooperation BTecessary. ' "There must be cooperation. not only between the government and tiie business man. but between the busi ness men. Shippers must cooperate and they ought to be studying right now how to cooperate. There are a great many gentlemen In other coun tries who can show them bow, and they ought to look forward, particu larly to caring for this matter, that they have vehicles In which to carry their goods. We must address our selves Immediately 'and as rapidly as possible to the recreation of a great American merchant marine. Our pres ent situation is very like this: Sup pose that a man who had a great de partment store did not have any de livery wagons and depended upon ft is competitors in the same market to deliver his goods to his " cuatomara. Tou know -what would .happen. - jEhey would deliver .their own goods first and they would deliver yourg only' If yoors were to be delivered upon the routes followed by their wagons. That Is an exact picture of what is taking place tn our foreign trade at this min ute. Foreign vessels carry our goods where they, the foreign vessels happen to be going, and they carry them only If they have room In addition to what they axe carrying for other people. You cannot conduct trade in that way. That is conducting trade on suffer ence. That is conducting trade on an 'if you please' plan. That is conduct ing trade on tbe basis of service, the point of view of which is not your advantage. Therefore we cannot lose any time in getting, delivery wagons. Vew Connections Are Urged. "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 compete 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 vate capital whenever privat capital "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 rpy 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 Straight X,Ln. to West Coast. "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 wprked 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 la 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 reap 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 fearfulnes 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 kwew by personal ex perienc. that ther. 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 they have shown, all these things are going to make for that peaceful and honor able conquest of foreign markets which is our reasonable ambition. Mend's Bemark Quoted. "A friend of mine was once Invited to attend a peace meeting. He 6aid he would come with pleasure if he might be permitted to explain that most of the. men sitting on the plat form were engaged in fomenting war, and when he was asked to explain this pleasing meaning, he said: 'I have looked over the list of the men who constitute your legislative committee, and almost every one of them Is en gaged in doing things to excite the WONDERFUL buying yes terday in the Young Men's Shop these smart Fall Suits and Overcoats are surely what the par ticular young men are looking for.

Not to Be Extended Tavy Department Will Xave T.imlts on Warahlp-Bnildlng as Fixed, Be lieving Bonuses Can Be Earned. Washington, Sept. 26.-(I. N. S.) The navy department, despite the ap peal of shipbuilders for more time, to day announced that it will not extend the time' for construction of the war ships authorized by congress. The bill provided for a bonus of 20 per cent on the contract price for "most expeditious delivery." Builders claim that the time limit Is so short that there Is little chance of winning the bonus. Thirty-six months are allowed for battleships, 42 for battle cruisers, 22 for destroyers, 24 for fleet submarines, and 22 for coast-defense submarines. The bonus rate is 2 per cent a month for any period less than the maximum. Navy officials believe that the build ers will be able to take advantage of the bonus offer, however,- inasmuch as construction of a battle cruiser within 82 months is possible, which would mean a bonus of 13,000,000.

Bays, Would Xsgaia Power if Hughes Wins and Re publican Congress Sleeted. By Vance C. McCormick. Cb&lrmaa Democratic National Committee. New York, Sept 26. (I. N. S.) The man who drove invisible government out of Washington, unseated the bosses and established visible government is Woodrow Wilson. If Mr. Hughes really Is opposed to Invisible government, he Is opposed to the methods and the political persons of such men as Penrose, Gaillnger, Smoot, Lodge, Cannon, McKlnley or Il linois, etc., under whom the lobby t flourished and ruled, under whom in- visible government was monarch in , congress. 1 At the outset of Wilson s adminis tration in the spring of 1911, he scat-1 tered the lobby which for years had regularly gathered in Washington to prevent legislation in the interest of the people. ! ZaObby headers Were Strong. The leaders of this lobby had been hand in glove with the Aldrich machine i in the senate and with the Cannon ma chine In the house for many years, j Laws were made In back roomf of the ! United States capitol In consultation . with the representatives of great finan- clal- interests of the country. President Wilson smashed this sys tem to flinders. When congress assem- ; bled in 1913 torevise the tariff, the leaders of the lobby had their corps of experienced secretaries and clerks working day and night in their old time endeavor to swing legislation. Preeldent Wilson In a public state ment opposed this iniquitous condition and called the attention of the country to these activities, and there was an end of the lobby then and there. Old Guard Would Control. If Hughes becomes president and a Republican congress returns to Wash- lngton, the representative of special , Interests, ship subsidies and extor tionate tariffs, Jacob H.
