Current Influences
AMERICA'S opportunity In tho devclop
, ment of her export trade is a favorite
subject for magazine articles Just now. The
World's Work devotes Its third wnr number
to the "Effects on the Americas," with nu
merous articles rcgardlnu arlous South
American countries nnd pages of alluring
pictures of:
"Buenos Aires, bigger thun Home, or Mad
rid, or Venice, bigger than any city of tho
so-called Latin races except Paris. It has
not only a passenger iitbwav like Now York,
but also a freight subway like Chicago. It
Is the supply city of a great, West, a kind of
Chicago on tho ocean, only It covers Its busi
ness rush with Parisian gncty nnd artistic
appearance," and
"Rio do Janeiro, nn awakened city, a city
that made a great plan for Itself, like Chi
cago nnd San Francisco, and then carried
It out," (1).
Charles Sumner llnmlln, goernor of the
Federal Hescno Board, In "What We Ato
Trying to Do to Encoumge Trado Between
Sodtli America aiid tho fulted Slates" (2).
describes the futelgn relations fcutuie of the
Federal lleserve act.
James II. Perkins, vice president of tho
National City Bank, tho largest flnnnclal In
stitution ln this country, tells "What the
National City Bank Is Trying to Do" (3):
"For commoictal expansion ln tho South
American field there Is a distinct need for
our own banking facilities, but under our
piovlous laws It would havo been necossnr.v
to form an independent organization, with
lnrge capital, to he on anywhere near equal
torms with the banks already established
thero by other countries. The Federal He
sorvo Act has made It possible, however, to
establish in a foreign country a branch of
a United States Institution, placing behind
the branch tho resources nnd prestige of
the parent institution. Tho directors of tho
bank In Juno authorized an application to
tho Federal Reserve Board for tho privilege
of establishing a branch nt Buenos Aires,
Argentine Republic, und ono at Rio de Ja
nolro, Brazil. It Is expected that tho bank
will be In operation by tho time this is
printed."
C. r. Curler, In "Bulldlna Up nn "Export
Trade" (4), suggests reasons for the United
States not. having been more successful In
southern oxpoit trado:
"United States Consuls In South America
are under tho constant necessity of remind
ing would-be exporters that if they expect
orders they miiBt send salesmen, and not
peddlers, to call upon polished nnd punctil
ious Latln-Amcrlcans. that it is a wastot
postago to mail catalogs, form letters and
other literature In English to business men
who speak no inngunge but Spanish, Portu
guese or French, and other things equally
elemental."
Our Merchant Marine
Closely associated with' the export trade
Is tho question of a merchant marine. Bur
ton J. ITondrick writes:
"As a result of tho European war the
American nation is experiencing one of its
periodical senrchlngs of heart on the sub
ject of an American merchant marine."
Mr. Hendrlck gives details of tho legis
lation which haa made It Impossible for
an American marine to compete with other
nations. Ho quotas a Captain Dollar:
"Who figured out precisely what it costs
to carry tho American Instead of a foreign
flag? American laws Insist that he shall keep
a third assistant licensed engineer at $80 a
month, an expense foreign owners enn cs
capo. Ho has to havo throe men regularly
employed as oilers, at JC0 per month each,
whereas, on foreign ships, storekeepers,
donkeymen nnd other employes do tho oil
ing. On his American ship, thiee water
tendors sit in tho flreroom nnd do nothing
but draw wages which they do not earn; on
foreign ships, they are unknown. Unlike
English and German masters, he has to em
ploy four quartermastors at S55 a month
each. These annual charges for function
aries, unknown to a foreign steamship, rep
resent an extra outlay of $8736.
"rhr nr nthor exnenses. American sys
tems of measurement differ from English and
German, greatly to tho disadvantage of the
Americans with proportionate Increase ln
charges for pilotage, wharfage, dockage and
dry docking. As a result of these several
charges, American registry on the vessel In
question costs an additional W.23G. Merely
changing tho flag to English or German
means Bavlng identically1 that amount every
year. This Is C per cent, on $-344,720 more
than tha cost of a gooa export cargo vessel.
A saving of this not only means dividends;
It means protection from absolute bank
ruptcy. "In view of these figures. It is hardly sur
prising that our largest American ship own
ore, such as the Standard Oil Company and
the United Fruit Company, transfer their
Bhtps to foreign flags. And Congress, judg
ing trom the progress of the Furuseth labor
union bill last winter, far from mitigating
this situation, is preparing to add other
burdens."
An article In the last number p the Annals
of the American Academy of Political and
Social Science, by Florence ICelley. well
known for her legislative work In connection
wjth the Consumers' League, on "Women and
Social Legislation" (6), gives the reverse
attitude on marine legislation. She writes:
"We who are of the great nation of trav
elers might reasonably b expected to care
for safety nt sea. Such Is, however, not or
record. Even the loss of the Tltanlo caused
only a ripple of Interest in social legisla
tion of this character. Following that mon
strous destruction of human life. Congress
contented Itself with requiring continuous
wireless service, -with two certificated wire
less operators on board ships leaving our
harbors. There Is unceasing influential ef
fort to relax even this slender Improve
ment, nnd this nation will be fortunate
beyond Its ueserts It, at me khjwo w. jw
present Congr, our statutes do ?wt us
sure ub less safety at sea, rather than mere.'

recognition to recent legislation precipitated
by the war crisis:
"In ndmlttlng foreign built ships to Amer
ican registry nnd in suspending the law re
nulrlng that all watch officers shall be
American citizens, n beginning has nlready
been made. We havo at last the policy of
frco ships' advocated for so many years
as tho solution of our commercial problem."
Another writer, Jeanetto Glassbcrer, se
verely criticises tills samo legislation (6),
quoting the comment of Senator MeCombef
from the floor of the Senate.
"'I would suggest to tho Senator that at
least we ought to amend the title: to "A Bill
for thn Relief of the United milt and

The Spectator, a weekly Insurance Revlow,
commenting on the panicky situation all over
the country this fall, as a result of the war,
which at first hit the Insurance agents rather
hard, gives a table gotten up by the NW
York Life Bulletin (7). Tho tablo gives an
alphabetical list of nil Imaginable occupa
tion?, and all classified under three numerals,
as follows: 1. Benefited by the war, 2,
Neither benefited nor Injured; 3, Injured
more or less.
No summaries were given, but having the
curiosity to make thorn, It nppearcd that there
were 50 benefited, 209 neither benefited nor
Injured, nnd 21 Injured. It was encouraging
to think of B0 classes of pcoplo being bene
fited by tho wnr, until one noticed that
nuiong the CO, each counting as a separate
class, were tho following: authors, writers,
editors, journalists, reporters, and newspaper
reporters.
