Mr. Bendien made other remarks expressing his pleasant ! surprise at finding an American city that had gone to as much trouble as 'any Old World city in order to make . iit a healthy and Inspiring place in " which to live. Praises City's I.lvewires Mr. Bendien was also shown the " Capitol building and he left Harris ' burg expressing his pleasure and , satisfaction with his visit to local t exporting and importing Interests. It was Mr. Bendien's opinion that Harrisburg's foreign trading firms " were in the charge of llvewires in . dividuals who could be depended upon B to advance the clfcy's foreign trade t Interests as far as possible. Mr. Bendien's work is one largely of patriotism because he is a man of • affairs in Holland and is making the «. trip on his own time, with the co operation of the city of Amsterdam, the Government of Holland and tiie ■ Holland-American Steamship line. It was the opinion of Mr. Bendir-n i that the present congestion of freight \ at New York City compelling the rail- I roads to issue embargos was largely I due to the fact that the export busi [ ness of this country was bandied in E New York City by too many small F commission house«, agents and brok- E ers who held up consignments to t speculate on them and who lacked [ the size and strength to handle the | business quickly and efficiently. In j his opinion the Harrisburg authorities » on foreign trade agree with Mr. Den f dlen. [ Mr. Bendien said that If a manu : faeturer took a product of any kin«t [ to Hamburg, Amsterdam or London j foreign trading houses and asked it [ there was an export demand for it. | the firm immediately expressed their | interest and made sympathetic investi [ gation to see if a market could be E made for It. When an Amerlcun [ manufacturer takes his product to [ many of the small American export - I ing houses and asks them if they can t handle it, they too often turn a deaf [ ear unless there Is a consistent sp^ E cash demand for It from foreign | countries. | Convict Kills Self in Sing Sing Deathhouse Special lo the Telegraph • Ossinlng, N.
