U. S. Goods To Be
Shown Abroad In
Big London Office
wonasHUI Plans to push America s
foreign trade are now being put into
execution by living T. Hueh. president
of the Bush Terminal company, whose
warehouses. model loft buildings,
wharves and terminals are the must
yomplelc. and esteitsive enterprises of
their kind under private ownership in'
the world. Mr. Bush Is now in I.cin
donai ranging tils i sport plans and for
a centrully located building where the
member of the Intel mil Ions 1 Buyers'
club may exhibit their manufactures to
Kuropean buyers.
So far as Is known, this Is the first
definite step since the end of the war
to push American trade abroad on so
large a scale from American manufac
turers direct to Kuropean purchasers.
It Is predicted that the next five
years in this coutnry will he the most
prosperous, progressive and successful
In Our history. The National Associa
tion of Manufacturers in a survey of
present conditions expresses the opin
ion thai the country Is one the thresh
old of it most unprecedented business
expansion. Mr. P.ush is now under
taking a huge co-operative enterprise
by which American manufactured will
be able to show American goods to Kuy
ropcan buyers at a minimum of ex
pense and under the direction of skilled
American salesmen.
There are now 3,noo members ot the
International Bayers' elob, wjilcli has
headquarter 0n the ground floor and
first and second stories .of the .Iti-story
Uuoh TymlnJ. Sales building in Times
anpure. New York. The other floor.'
0 the bonding w'rlttn the last - two
months have become a veritable world's
exposition o! exhibits, but instead of
exhibition palaces the choice displays
of American 1 manufacturers, apparel
and upplianees are displayed In the
loftiest skyscraper in upper N'ew York
and Die fourth or flflh tallest building
In the metropolis. Here the wares are
sold to American and foreign mer
chants and their buyers.
To Extend the Plan.
The. success of the plan is st pro
nounced (hat it will be .etxended to
foreign markets. Kor the first time in
A'merican history goods will be
grouped together on a large scale in
foreign maikets and sold direct from
American manufacturers to foreign
merchants or their buyers under the
direction of expirt salesmen. For gen
erations trade experts have deplored
our faulty methods of pushing our
wares in foreign fields. This new plan
Is pronounced by experts to be In the
vanguard of commercial enterprise
abroad. There is a tremendous de
mand for American ttoods to restore the
depletion caused by the. war. That the
high prices paid will have a wonderful
effect In accelerating industry and sup
plying cargoes for America's new mer
chant marine is universally admitted.

rJNDON, Jan. 1 President Wilson
I. ad come here from the liberal atmos
phere of Mam hester where hts procla
mation of America's purpose to enter
into no combination of powers except
one Including all nations aroused tre
mendous enthusiasm, when (here stared

London newspapers chronicling Premier
flenienccau'K speech in Purls taking
definite issueVith Mr. Wilson and urg
ing a special alliance among Great llrlt
aln, Am-rica, Italy and France.
Mr. Wilson has been repeatedly em
phasizing that the weakness of the old
system in llurope was balances of pou
er and alliances, but Premier I'lemen
ceau's frank, outspoken avowal in fa
vor of ihe old ivstein, and urging th.
inclusion of America, revealed the first
discordant note of the president's trip
in Blirope. It had been known that
Mr. Wilson had engaged in earnest con
versations with Premier (''emenceau,
endeavoring to convince him that the
soldiers of the allies hod fought for the
establishment of a new International
toiler, and when the Prmch premier told
the American president that he was
willing In tent the pls-n of a league of
nations, It was agreenbly assumed thut
he meant It as a supplementary to n
special alliance between Greut Urltahi,
America, hYance and Italy.
Premier G'emenceau is laboring un
der the belief that American pnl-11 -opinion
favors alliances, while Mr. Wil
son has been Impressing the view thut
America . still stands hy Washington's
warning against entn nglcd alliances, and
the only covenant she will make will
be a world n Mb) nee or league of tui
