The secretary also reiterates his approval of the proposed develop ment of a government owned infra costal waterway to link up the great cities of the east, from the lakes to tho coast and down the Atlantic sea board., ., .; ..' , : Tremendous Development Dealing witU post-war trade and the part the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce can play, the re port emphasizes especially the need for additional commercial attaches and trade commissioners. Tho bal ance of trade in favor of the United States for the fiscal year 191S was S2,9S2,226,238; the total of the mer chandise export trade was S5.92S, 2S5.641 and of the Import trade $2,- 946.059.403. "Measured by the economic needs of the country and by the graVe re sponsibilities of post-war competi tion," the report says, "the bureau should be expanded substantially In every branch of service." . "A wisely liberal preparation now will mean millions of Income some day to this country, will mean Indus trial prosperity for our labor, and will mean strength for our economic structure against advorse conditions or -sharper competition from any quarter. Xo country has excelled us in the typo of commercial service which we have for six years past ren dered to the business community. and this position should be maintain. ed by ns regardless of our temporary obsorption in military defense." : Tremendous Cmial Urged Of the Inland waterways' Secretary Redfield says: - "An important step forward, which will be of great advantage to our commerce, was taken when the dlroc- tor;general,of railroads assumed, on behalf of the government for the per iod of the war, the operation of the Cape Cod and the Deleware and Rari- tan canals, the latter being operated in connection with the New - York state barge canals. Every economic. military, and naval argument -points to the importance of the earliest pos sible development of a government- owned waterway corresponding with what is commonly known as the At lantic intracoastal - waterway, con necting all the great cities of our At lantic seaboard with one. another, with the New York state waterways, reaching to the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, and with all the rallroad torminals along our eastern coast. - Such a waterway, safe alike from the effects of storms and from the acts of enemies, would toe. a great as set to the nation if it were available today. Tho development of the use of our internal waterways having been taken over by tho railroad ad ministration, this department retains an interest in them only because ot their effect in promoting our commerce."'.
