GERMANS BUSY FOR TRADE WAR OF THE FUTURE

Shape Their Shipping and In

dustries to Go After Big

World Trade. NEW YORK. Dec. 26. Some of the

leaders in the larger industries re

ceive hints almost every day which

confirm them in the belief that as in

tensely occupied as Germany is -with her military movements the Government is not neglecting her nonmilitary

industries or her shipping, the clear

purpose being to have the industries and shipping in such good condition after the war is ended that the Germans may begin immediately an attempt to regain some part of the world trade which was lost to them when the war began. Industrial leaders have been for some time concerned over the apparently indifferent or forgetful attitude of the Government and many of the people toward the conditions which will confront us immediately after the war is ended. This morning an industrial leader, who is also a man of widely recognized financial ability, said that it is appalling to those who know what the condition is to realize , that almost nothing is being done in the way of preparedness for the world trade, commerce and industry which we should have after the war is end. ed. America Is Preparing. From Washington there now comes information that the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce has recently taken heed of these future contingencies. The bureau is beginning to organize in such a manner as will enable it to assist our industrial and financial leaders so that they may be able not only to retain the trade with other nations which we have secured but also greatly to increase 1L But it is the opinion of men competent to judge that relatively as great preparations should be made for the future as are now under way for war purposes. The Washington Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, whose members have made some investigation into the situation, feels that it may now venture to predict that the United States will maintain and even increase the financial and commercial supremacy which we have gained in the past three years. One reason upon which this official

opinion is based is the belief that demand will come to the United States, especially from France and Belgium and other countries, and perhaps from Russia, for building material, machinery, railway equipment, and, in time, will be extended over several years at least. Can Maintain Supremacy. With wise preparation and such careful consideration of our future interests after the war is ended as is now possible the official authorities at Washington feel assured that we can maintain and Increase not only our financial but also our commercial supremacy after the war. Some figures are given by the bureau of such magnitude that the mind is almost unable to grasp the meaning of them. As, for instance, it is officially reported that In three years gold has come to the United States in such amounts that we now possess fully one-third of the world's visible supply of gold. We are not likely to lose much of this gold, though some of it will be exported to settle balances with nations whose exports to us are greater than our imports to them. The other day Argentina paid off a loan of several millions, and it was

said by those who know that if the movement of money required to liquidate this debt could be traced it would be found that it represents some part of Argentina's favorable trade balance with the United States, for we owed on this account more to Argentina than she owed us. Nobody pretends to make any accurate estimate of the amount of American money which has recently been Invested in foreign securities, excepting to fix the figure at a reasonable guess at many millions. In Private Hands. There Is official record to show how many milions of loans secured in the United States by England. France, Russia and Italy have pased into the hands of private investors or banks. It, of course, has been necessary to make an estimate of the amount of our curent world trade which December exports and imports represent, but it is regarded as a reasonable calculation that the excess of exports over imports for 1917 amounts to $3,600,000,000. This should be taken into r onsideratlon when the highly important and difficult financing which will follow the close of the war begins. One of the astounding statements made by the Washington bureau tells of the money value of our exports of 1917 in completely manufactured products. Unless the bureau Is mistaken we sold $3,000,000,000 worth of manufactured products not only to Europe but to the far east and South America. Yet a few vears ago we sold to other countries "less than $1,000,000,000 worth of completed manufactures. That is the kind of trade which the leaders in our industries and now the Washington bureau or foreign and domestlo commerce will by means of thorough preparation seek to maintain and increase after the European war is ended.

NOVA SCOTIA ORGANIZES INTO SOLID ARMY OF FOOD PRODUCERS

Fish, apples and potatoes are Nora. Scotia's answer to the world's demand for food. That ocean-bound bit of garden is setting a good example in helping feed the world. Nova Scotians are cot only doing without beef, bacon and wheat to a large extent, but they are supplementing the released quantities of these necessary foods with Nova Seotian products. Every fishing hamlet and seaside town is alive with the bustle of preparing and shipping great catches brought in daily by Nova Scotia fishermen. Fish are spread to dry on every available space, even housetops are utilized. The air resounds with hammer blows as coopers head up barrels of briny beauties. Wharves are piled high with boxes and barrels of fish awaiting transportation. The number of available vessels, while large, is inadequate to keep p.-ce with the incoming supply. More ships are needed. They are being built as fast as possible and may be seen in ill stages of construction along Nova .Votia's rivers and inlets. Ninety per cei. of tha world's lobwter supply comes iVnra Nova Scotia.

the culture of apples and potatoes, making them famous for quality and flavor. Busy days of garnering the "Rosy Cheeks" are succeeded by more busy days of gathering the "Blue Noses." College girls in overalls have aided in this work this year and the farmers agree that the girls have made good. Substituting fish for beef and bacon sets the latter free for service "somewhere in France." A more general use of apples and potatoes means more wheat for the boys "over there." Nova Scotia is increasing her output of fish, apples and potatoes in order to release prairie products needeJ overseas. George E.
