The Trade that Waits The trade of the world waits for America.

Even though we should seek to escape our oppor

tunity, we cannot shirk our duty. Business is knocking at our doors and foreign lands demand that we take their orders and fill their demands, in return giving us assurance of industry and

prosperity unlimited. This is no time to sit idly by and make excuses, no time to hold on tight and not rock the boat, but able oarsmen, strong

and unafraid, are needed to man the skiffs and

carry the nation, not through troubled waters of

uncertainty, but into the harbor of our national destination, which is Prosperity. Daily reports show that business is resuming. Manufacturing plants over the country are

going back to full capacity of operations. Large orders are being announced and extra laborers are being put to work. Only a few days ago, a middle west factory turned down a million dollar order because it was working day and night on orders already booked.

The skies are brightening, the gloom is being dispelled rapidly and confidence is being exhibited. A few warn America to go slow, but others are simply forced to go fast to take care of their orders for "Made in America" products. Bring the situation home to this city. Richmond will miss the opportunity of its existence

if it fails, through inability or inaction, to take full advantage of the new commercial and industrial conditions growing out of the war abroad. To secure our share of the foreign trade that waits, is easier said than done, however. We cannot retain a foreign representative of our own. Two methods, however, are oan to us. Of these, the unsatisfactory way would be to depend on the overflow from the larger manufacturing centers. The other and better way is to get together among ourselves and pool our interests, and if necessary, taking as our trade allies our neighboring cities. Whatever is done, the manufacturers of Richmond must arrange a way to bring the foreign markets home right here in this city to us. Until this is done, we will have missed our chance to get our share ofthe assured prosperity. Until this is done, we will have missed our opportunity. Right here,' we cannot sit still; we've got to get busy.

KELLY GIVES BOND

Hupport of my charge I call to witness the evidence of Assistant Secretary Koosevelt given at your hearing, and the evidence of Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger. Both of these men say that the navy is 18,000 men short, not counting the sailors needed for ships now building. Your witness, admiral Blue estimates our navy to be short for war only 338 enlisted men. Yet the general board, which has actually made our war plans, estimates that the enlisted force of the navy as between thirty and fifty thousand men short for war. How to Economize.

"I am told that some of you gentlemen want to cut down the enlisted force of the navy. There is nothing simpler. Just put a few more vessels ; out of commission. j "Why not put them all out of com-; mission and depend on the naval mil-1 ltia in war time to man them? There j are as many as seven thousand ofj these naval militiamen. "If any attention had been paid to

me general ouaru a piaus lur our national safety, instead of only thirtyseven battleships built and builling and authorized, we should now have forty-seven battleships built, but Instead of Bixty-eight destroyers we

should now have 187 destroyers. j Disregard Advice. j "Listen to this: Battleships steam across the great ocean highways to in- j trrcept the enemy's fleet. How are j they to know where the enemy's fleet j Is bound? Canada is north of us, Mex-1 ico to the south. From St. Croix to ; the Rio Grande our coast is three thousand miles long. j "The enemy will surely elude us j unless we have fast scouts to fore- j warn our battle fleet. If we had heed-; ed the advice of the general board, j we should have a fleet of fast scouts j today. How many do you think we 1 actually have got? Just three, and ; those were authorized over ten years ago. The general board asks us to ; build four each year, but this has been refused. "You know that we have fifty-six submarines In all, built and building, eood. bad and indifferent. Admiral j

Bodger, in his testimony quotes the general board as saying that we need one hundred submarines. Last year Admiral Vreeland told us that we needed one hundred submarines for harbor defense alone.

County Clerk-elect Michael Kelly recorded his bond today for $25,000. A. D. Gayle, Frank M. Taylor, Alton Hale and Richard Sedgwick signed the instrument.

HAVE GOOD TIME URGES STOVALL

In discussing the subject, "Is It Wrong to Have a Good Time?" at the

' noon shop meeting at the Hutton Cas- ! ket factory today, Rev. W. O. Stovall, I pastor of the First Baptist church, I said: "It is wrong not to have a good I time. But this assertion hinges on the definition of a good time. A good time that Injures the person who is j having it and other around him is an abuse of the phrase good time. The

fellow that goes around with a grouch all the time Is of no particular benefit to his surroundings."

not to exceed fire per cent of the division of the rate accruing to the carrier In official classification territory. "Interstate rates to and from New England, from and to points in trunk line or central freight association territory, where necessary to preserve established relationship between

points or ports in New England and

points or ports in trunk line territory.

mar be increased not to exceed five

per cent.

"Subject to the maintenance of the

established Atlantio port differentials, rates to and from New York may be increased not to exceed five per cent and rates to and from Portland, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore may be increased to the extent necessary to maintain said differentials. "Except as otherwise above specified, rates in Official Classification Territory may be increased not more than five per cent but rates increased since July 29, 1914, may not now be again increased so as to exceed those then in effect by an aggregatie of more than five per cent or the intraterritorial rate, or of the postion or division of the inter-territorial rate accruing to the road or roads in Offic

ial Classification Territory as the case

may be. "In some Instances, and in part be

cause of the pendency of this proceed

ing, we have recently suspended proposed increased rates in this territory. Carriers may, if they so elect, now cancel such tariffs so suspended and file in lieu thereof tariffs which conform to the limitations above specified. If there is done such suspenclons will be vacated." Commissioner Clements, dissenting, said: "I can but regard the action now

taken by the commission as out of harmony with spirit and purpose of the law and as taking a step that leads away from the sound principles necessary to conserve the . ends of Justice." '

Chairman Harlan hearing of this, case added nothing substantial to the relevant facts before use when the original report was handed down. It served "only to confirm the soundness of the finding then made that the railroads in official classification territory, taken as a whole, ought to have additional net income. My own view of the record baa been and is that

the carriers In that territory, considered colleotlvely, are in need of more additional net income than the amount of $50,000,000 which they estimated the proposed five per cent increase in rates would yield. "I whollyejlssent, however, from the course now approved by the commission for permitting the carriers to augment their revenues."
