Conditions Improve i
For Development of
Big Foreign Trade
>?anafacturers, Association
Say? Upward Turn Has
Been Reached in Our
Commercial Activity
?Marked improvement in domestic
r.d foreign Industrial and trade con?
fions occurred during the month of I
yay and this stabilization is daily :
^ing in strength. This is the view |
he'd by "Export American Industries. |
official or<:an of the National Associa- ?
tion "f Manufacturers, which has just :
i.sued a summary of conditions affect- ;
ins: the development of the foreign ,
trade of the United States as com?
piled from data in the hands of its j
organization.
Removal of war restrictions, Includ?
ing the abolition of blacklists, says this :
publication, is boin? strongly felt by '
^menean exporters and streams of ?
?noniries ' coming from all trade
c'en*"?"' ?f r:'* lor quotations on
every va ri of raw and manufactured
nawrials. fhe movement of the banks
to estend foreign loans without gov- ;
ernmer.t assurances and the develop- ?
ment of wider markets for Jong term !
credit documents indicate that the up- !
ward turn in normal commercial activ- j
ity has been reached.
The signing of the peace treaty will
do much toward allaying the remaining j
uncertainty of the financial and trade
jituation. It will mean in effect that
reconstruction is to begin in earnest.
The world of commerce is most eager '
to put the war and its havoc behind
it and to settle clown to the task of
rehabilitation. All of the nations ex?
pecting indemnities from Germany are.
making: extensive plans. France espe?
cially is absolutely counting on the
huge enemy indemnity to set her in?
dustrial wheels in motion again, and
she expects the banks of the United
States to provide the necessary gold,
against the German promise to pay, to
undertake her rehabilitation.
Financing Foreign Trade ?
Financing foreign trade is a subject
that is occupying a large share of the
attention of American business at the
present time. Not only is it necessary
to assist the business man of America
in his foreign trade enterprises; it also
is very essential to fix a policy of ex?
tending credit to the war-stricken
countries of Europe. It is evident that
it no longer is the part of the govern?
ment to make further advances for
this purpose. The war is over and ex?
tension of credit by the government
being purely a war measure should no
longer be resorted to. Return to nor?
mal conditions can best be hastened
by leaving the question of foreign
finance'in. the hands of the banks,
?hose province it is to manage such
affairs. France, indeed, has expressed
her opinion that the financing for her
reconstruction needs should be han?
dled by a private organization of Ameri?
can bankers who can deal directly with
the French financiers and manufactur?
ers.
More Foreign Trade Companies
Establishment o: foreign trading cor- \
porations in the United States still ;
gees on. Within the last few weeks
two more have been formed, one pri?
marily for trading in South. America,
the other for organizing and stimul?t- :
ilng commerce in the Levant. The lat- |
ter company, sponsored by the Tobacco
Products Corporation and including
many of the largest merchandising
firms in the country, plans a wide?
spread organization which promises to
be a modern replica of the famous ?
Hudson Bay Company, embracing not
on?y an extensive business organiza?
tion in the United States, but a ship :
line of its own and a caravan trade in :
the Near Ea3t regions.
Recognition by the Allies of the Kol
chak government in Russia will un
doubtediy *end to stabilize Russian af
fairs, politic.!, industrial and financial.
Russia is in desperate need of outside
assistance, and her work cf reconstruc?
tion ear.no: be carried on withe'l' for?
eign aid. Official Aiiied recognition
*ill enable the Prussian government to
borrow money from the Allies and will !
make it posa ble for private business to
go into Russia, backed by governmental
guaranty. She needs everything in the
*ay of manufactured products. To the
natural question as to how she is to .
Pay for these products, the reply is
tsat she will establish credits through
{he sale of foodstuffs, flax, various
Mineral products, abundant in Russia, ;
???i lumber, which' was" her principal '
export in pre-war times. Even a reason- ;
ably stable government will enable
Russian business men to contrive suf- ?
neient commercial machinery to export
treae raw materials. Potentially,
Russia is one of the greatest producing
?untries in the world and the world
?hou'id try to make it easy for her to
rtal?z? h?-r possibilities. Her political
and commercial rehabilitation means
lst opening up of a great new market
'?r foreign trade, and one of which
t5>e Uajted Sute? should be rju*rk to
?*? ?duntage.

the result of the falling off of her ex?
port trade after the war closed. The
increased demand for coffee, which is !
bound to result from national prohibi?
tion and the prevailing high prices for
coffee will do much to stimulate Bra?
zilian trade. This year's coffee crop is
the smallest that Brazil has known for
twenty years?a factor in keeping
prices up to the top-notch. The pub?
licity campaign of the Brazilian coffee
growers in the United States now is
getting into full swing. All in all, the
coffee trade is booming as it never has
before.
The shipping situation is much im?
proved. The decided increase in the
merchant marine is the outstanding ;
feature. Th>i Shipping Board is re?
leasing ships fairly rapidly now, and
these are being put into service on the
established routes or upon new ones
which are being established to meet
new needs. Seven vessels, with a min?
imum speed of seventeen knots, are
to be put into service on a line to
South American ports sailing from
Southern port3. The tremendous in?
crease in exports has made it neces?
sary to use hitherto neglected ports.
Shipping from Southern ports means
a great saving in shipping and freight
cos.ts on many products. A case in
point is that of a Japanese naviga?
tion line which plans to establish a -
service from New Orleans for shipping
Pittsburgh steel to Japan, thus saving i
the heavy costs of the transcontinental :
haul. If a saving can be effected here
it is even more possible in the case of ;
cotton and other Southern products
which are to be exported.
The whole trade situation, domestic
and foreign, seems t?o be regaining its
equilibrium gradually, and it is gen?
erally considered that once the treaty
is signed the Bwing back to normal
conditions will take place as rapidly
as is compatible with the complex con?
ditions of the reconstruction period.
? ?
Competitive Prices
Abroad Depend on
Our Buying There j
Indefinite Restrictions Pol-!
icy Held to Hinder Res-j
urrection of Trade in ;
Great Britain
LONDON, June 6.?The United'
States must buy more foreign securi?
ties and goods if the prices at which
American goods at the present rate of j
exchange must sei! in foreign countries
are to be' competitive, the American !
Chamber of Commerce in London says j
in its summary of industrial and com-j
mercial conditions in Great Britain!
during May. The shortage of tonnage
continues to keen American goods from !
the British market.
The British Board of Trade, it is
added, was attacked in Parliament re?
garding its failure to decide on a firm
export and import restriction policy.:
This is one of the .causes of uncer- '
tainty making the resurrection of trade !
difficult. The government's spokesman!
in reply said he hoped to announce ai
definite policy when peace is signed, j
He declared that the state of exchange
would be the ruling consideration.
The manufacturers of the United!
Kingdom, the summary continues,, have
requested the government to give ef-1
feet to its declared policy of perfec-1
tion to the key industries in order to!
prevent dumping. The summary adds:
"Import restrictions on typewriters,
rubber goods, soap, vacuum cleaners
and musical instruments (except organs
and pianos) were removed. A further
relaxation on American boots and shoes
is considered likely. No further con?
cession on automobiles is expected
until September 1 at the earliest.
"Official figures from the Ministry of
Shipping show thttt the world's total
pre-war tonnage was 48,000,000, the
share of Great Britain being 18,500,000
and the United States 1.700,000. At
present the world tonnage is 36,500,000,
with Great Britain having 15,300,000
and the United States 6,400,000.
"The trades unions have refused to
take over the national shipyards at
Chepstow on the ground that the offer
made was not fair and that the capital
ists already had refused an offer from !
private interests. The question is still
open.
"An imperial preference policy was |
introduced in the 1919 budget. Refer- ;
ence also will be given by the Treasury |
to capital issues in the Dominions, par?
ticularly when contractors will buy raw |
materials from British producers. The j
Dominions also will be favored in j
awarding government contracts.
"Labor bills establishing a minimum
wage and forty-eight hours a weelf in
industry are being drafted by the labor
ministry. The bill restoring pre-war i
practices in industry within two j
months of passage already has passed '
second reading.
"The number of unemployed is de- !
creasing slowly. Coa production is '
dropping and a shortage ?3 feared,
both for industry and for export.
American steel is underselling British
steel in the United Kingdom. The Lan?
cashire cotton trade is picking up.
Light grain crops are expected on ac- !
count of the drought and the fruit
crops are uncertain."
Credit Men Meet To-day
Crcdit and the important part it
plays in the stabilization of the com?
merce and industry of the world will
be discussed at the twenty-fourth an
nual convention of the National Asgo
ciatioB of ('redit Men, which opens ?
to-day in Detroit. The convention will ;
run through until Friday. It is ex- i
pected that 2,000 men identified with
credit work Will be in attendance.
In a letter sent to -"S.OOO members of
the association, J. II. Trcgo, secretary
treasurer, ?ays that our part of the
world trade will be measured by our
willingness to extend credit.
"The United States has a wonderful
opportunity," he says. "It to-day stands
preeminent as a world leader. Here
are the materials, the machinery with
which to make them into goods, the
credit resources needed for their dis?
tribution as they never before existed
in any land.
"Clearly we must not look at the
problem of world trade from the sell
eel? standpoint only, but from that of
the buyer also. We must create hero
a market for th? securities of the coun?
tries wjth which we desire to trade and
in the buying of them some portion
of th* stvtKg? o? th* nation must be

Abuse of State
Risk System
Fund in Enviable Condi?
tion, but Badly Managed,
Declares J. F. Connor in
His Report to Governor
Thorough Inquiry Urged
-
Wynkoop Service Wrong, He
Says; Payments Delayed,
'Favorite Doctors' Aided
ALBANY, June 8.?Severe criticism
I of the management of the state insur?
ance fund by the State Industrial Com
| mission is contained in a report .to
; Governor Smith, mude public to-night
by Jeremiah F. Connor, appointed by
the Executive to investigate the affairs
of the commission.
The state fund now insures approxi- -,
mately 8,750 employers, according to i
the report, and its rates are approxi?
mately 14Va per cent lower than the
rates of the stock companies.
"It claims to have 16 per cent of the
compensation insurance business of j
New York State, 'roughly speaking,' to |
use an expression of the manager," :
reported Commissioner Connor. "Fifty
per cent of this business is carried in ;
special groups receiving special treat
ment, so the fund generally carries only i
about 8 per cent of the compensation
insurance of the state."
Assets .Declared Sound
The fund on January 1, 1918, the
1 report states, had assets amounting to
nearly 85,500,000, and it is apparent
that the financial condition of the
fund "at the present is in an enviable
position." It is said that additional
dividends in favor of employers in the
general groups, to the extent of
$1,000,000. could be declared and the
fund still be solvent beyond a ques- i
tion of doubt.
Commissioner Connor declares the
fund has been "wojsfully weak" in its
ability to collect premiums, statins;
that there were approximately 1,500
cancelled policies from July 1, 1914,
to date, in which the payrolls have
not been audited nor brills rendered
for the amount due. In addition, he ?
leported, about a month ago there,
were 500 cases of cancelled policies in i
which payrolls had been audited but I
in which bills had not been sent out.
Wynkoop Service Criticised
Much space in the report is devoted !
to one of the special groups in the i
state fund where the employers in this i
group have a contract with G. W. ;
Wynkoop, who does business under :
the name of the Wynkoop Service, I
under which an employer, in return i
for certain services, including the pre- j
vention or accidents and handling of )
claims, pays the Wynkoop Service one- j
half of the dividends declared by the ;
state insurance fund.
"In my opinion the Wynkoop trans- I
actions with the state insurance fund ?
are wrong from every standpoint,"
Commissioner Connor reported. "In j
the tirst place, every service performed i
by the Wynkoop Service for the em?
ployer should be performed by the ;
state insurance fund itself."
Numerous employers in the state
fund have been approached by repre?
sentatives of the Wynkoop Service just j
as their policies were about to expire, j
Commissioner Connor reported. "This ?
suggests," be said, "at least a system j
under which the Wynkoop Service is t
tipped off by some one when favorable |
risks in the fund are about to expire."
Delay in Payments Charged
Many complaints have been received
by Commissioner Connor, who says he
is satisfied that there is "an unreason?
able delay in making payments to in?
jured workmen out of the state fund."
He also reported that the fund "pays
far jmore attention to getting work for
favored doctors then it does to nay
ing compensation to the claimants." Al?
leged favoritism in fixing? premiums
also is charged.
"What I have discovered is only a
scratch on the surface," concluded the
report. "I recommend that the whole
state insurance fund be investigated
from start to finish by a competent
actuarial accountant."
Czechs Wounded in War
On Reds Arrive Here
100 Officers and Men of Force
Which Fought in Siheria to
Remain Two Weeks
One hundred wounded officers and
men of the Czecho-Slovak army which
fought the Bolsheviki in Siberia ' ar?
rived in New York yesterday from
Vladivostok on their way to their new
homeland, Czecho-Slovakia. They will
remain here two weeks.
The contingent, which consists of
six officers and ninety-four men, head?
ed by Major Josef Dolshek, was wel?
comed at the Pennsylvania Station by
Colonel Vladimir Hurban, Military
Attach? of the Czecho-Slovak Embassy
at Washington, and by a committee
of the Czecho-Slovak League.
Many of the men have been awarded
the Russiaia Cross of St. George for
gallantry in action against the Bol?
sheviki. Twenty of them are so se?
verely wounded that>they cannot walk.
The most thrilling incident of the
trip from Vladivostok occurred on the
transport on May 4, when one man
who had lost the power of speech as a
result of shell shock suddenly regained
his voice.
One of the group is A. W. Chez, for?
merly professor of physical training
at the University of West Virginia,
who went to Austria-Hungary 1n 1915
as a Y. M. C. A. worker and, following
America's entry into the wnr, made his
i way to Russia and accompanied the
Czecho-Slovak army in their campaign
in Siberia.
Tho soldiers are quartered at the
building of the War Camp Community
Service at 35 West Twenty-fifth Street

will officially welcome them to the

Feeling Is Strong Against

Man; "Y" Secretary
Tells of Work in India
The Lamport & Holt liner Vauban.
which will sail for South America
within a few days, booked to capacity, j
arrived here yesterday from Liverpool <
under charter to the Cunard Line. She
carried 259 saloon and 136 second
cabin passengers.
Among the travellers on board was
Charles A. Hanley, of Hanley, Morgan j
& Co., of Boston, who is said to be j
the first American business man to j
enter Constantinople, Greece and Al- ;
bania after the signing of the armis?
tice.
"The business houses and the peo-i
pie of Turkey generally," he said, "re- I
gret that she ever entered into any
national agreements with Germany.
Wherever I went in Asia Minor there j
was a strong feeling against Germany
and a desire to transfer all the busi?
ness and general trade that they had
had with Germany to American busi?
ness houses. The Turk has a high
regard for America and Americans, and
is anxious that trade relations between
Constantinople and ports of the United
States be renewed at once. Wherever
I went I was treated with great re?
spect and courtesy just because I was
an American. Food is plentiful in Tur?
key. Economic conditions in Greece j
are not good, but I saw no evidence j
there of distress or general hardship j
among the people."
Another passenger on the Vauban j
was K. C. Paul, national secretary of j
the Y. M. C. A. in India, whose head- j
quarters are in Calcutta. He said that '?
the "Y" had established 175 cooperative !
banks, in small towns as well as in the |
larger cities, and that they had saved !
the people from the gouging of money ;
lenders, who charged from 4S to 96 j
per cent for loans. The people of :
India, he said, had been held down by
being constantly in debt, from which I
they had little or no chance of becom- ,
ing freed because of the usurious in- !
terest rates. Mr. Paul returned from I
India to attend a conference of secre- j
taries of the "Y" engaged in foreign !
service.

Tax of Non-Residents
To Be Held Out of Pay
Controller Announces Employ- !
ers' Part in Carrying Out
the Income Law
Special Corr^sponarnc
ALBANY, June 8.?Controller Travis, i
who will administer the new state in- ;
come tax, announced to-night that .
every employer will be required to i
keep on file a certificate of residence j
of each employe. The employer must j
also deduct and withhold from the
salaries of his employes who live out?
side of the state "a tax of 1 per cent
on all sums above $1,000 and not in ex?
cess of $10,000, and 2 per cent in ex?
cess of that amount.
This tax applies not only to salaries
but to wages, commissions, gratuities,
emoluments, perquisites, or other fixed !
and determinate, annual or periodical !
compensation, earned for personal
services in a business, trade, profession
or occupation carried on within this
state, provided that the withholding
agent -employer-has not on- file a
certificate that his employe is a resi- i
dent of this state, sotting forth such
residence. Blanks for this purpose
will be sent upon request.
Despite the fact that the statute pro?
vides for a deduction of 2 per cent of
all salaries of non-residents employed
within the state the Controller be?
lieves that this amount was left in
the statute through inadvertence when
the bill, which originally provided for
a flat tax of 2 per cent, was afterward
changed on a graduated scale from 1 to
3 per cent.

China Unable to Check
Anli-Japanese Boycott j
Movement Spreads to Vladivos- j
tok; Retaliatory Trade
War Threatened
PEKING, June S (By The Associated. (
Press).?The Chinese government is
unable to stem the tide of the Japanese
boycott movement which is being
pushed by the Bchool and college stu- '
dents. The bankers, merchants and
workmen in Shanghai, South China, are
lending their support to the movement
which adds to the agitation.
The government decided to release
the students arrested several days ago,
but the students decline release unless
the Chief of Police publicly apologizes
for the arrests.
Demonstrations in favor of the boy?
cott movement continue without re?
striction. Leaders are endeavoring to
obtain instruction in the manufacture
of articles imported from Japan so
that they can be manufactured in
China.
SAX FRANCISCO, June 8.?The
anti-Japanese agitation among the
Chinese has spread into Vladivostok,
according to a cablegram from Tokio.
The Chinese merchants at VlaHivo
stok, who are dissatisfied with th?
terms of settlement of Shangtung. have
declared boycott against ail the Ja?
panese articles of merchandise. The
Chinese merchants at Harbin and
Blagoviechinsk have taken similar ac?
tion. A curious feature of the present
agitation is that the Japanese mer?
chants and people residing at those
poirfts are about to declare a trade
war against the Chinese in retaliation.
Forty U. S. Destroyers to
Make a Record Voyage
The Navy Department has completed
plans for the longest "shaking down"
trip in the history of the navy. Forty
destroyers that are to be put into ac
tive service are to have their first voy?
age shortly, and a European trip has
been planned as the best method of
testing out the machinery, engines and
boilers.
Two destroyers from the New York
navy yard, the Edwards and the Lud
low, will take part in the cruise.
Thirty-eight other craft of this type
in navy yards along the Atlantic ara
also being put in shape for the test.
The trip across the Atlantic will
mark a new epoch in maiden trips of
American ?warships. It is planned to
have the destroyers go as one big fight?
ing unit in order that they may
man?uver, signal and get acquainted
with their sister ships on the way
across. Several important, innovations
will be tried out.
Nearly all of the vessels have just
been completed, and as they were built
under war conditions it is the desire
of navy officials to put them to the
severest possible tests. The Navy De?
partment wants an accurate lirte on ail
destroyers, and particularly desire? to
learn how they man?uver on an over?
seas journey.
Canadians Need Tractors
So anxious are the farmers in North??
ern Alberta to overcome the difficultie?
occasioned by the shortage of labor
that they are buying up tractors as
fast as they can get them. One firm
alone has sold in this district no fewer
than 200 of these machines, for which
the farmers in every instance p.uj
cash in advance in order to insure early
delivery. This enterprise on the part
of the farmers is not only helping ??
', solve the labor difficulty but it also is
! resulting in a gratifying increase in thor. i
