'lub to-day. Mr. Patchin discussed
this country's present and future at
titude toward foreign trade with the
introduction of statistics that showed
clearly how important it is for our
businessmen to maintain our indus
trial strength throughout the present
international difficulty both for our
own commercial salvation and that of
weaker nations whose fate Is inter
locked with our own. The speaker
was Introduced by K. D. Hilleary,
freight superintendent of the Phila
delphia and Heading Railroad.
"One of the most important problems
now before the United States is that
of maintaining our foreign commerce,
particularly with neutral countries,
during the war," Mr. Patchen said.
"The credit resources which consti
tute the chief strength of the United
States for war rest upon the gold re
serve which has been expanded by the
vast excess of exports over receipts
since August 1. 1914. This has given
us one-third of the world's total gold,
enabled us to buy back J2.300.000.000
worth of American securities h*H by
Europe and to extend in loans and
credits *2,000.000.000 more to belliger
ents and neutrals. It Is that situation
which makes possible the discussion of
a 17,000,000,000 war finance program at

THURSDAY EVENING,
Washing-ton, including 13,000.000.000
loan to entente powers. To keep It up
and bear its own vast war expenses the
United States must adopt the sound
war motto, 'Business as usual." Mod

Muat Aid Allen*
War trade has so swollen this coun
try's exports as to obscure the fact
that not until last year did American
exports other than European countries
exceed In value those of the last nor
mal year before the war. Retention of
this trade depends upon sustained ef
fort. The countries of I<atin America,
the Far Fast, Africa and Oceanlca have
turned to us for merchandise customar
ily supplied by Europe. Their need is
great. They are paying heavily. If
they are unable <o continue to ob
tain necessary manufactures and raw
materials from the United States they
will be in a serious situation and lose
confidence In this nation's ability to
play a really great role in world com
merce. Our chances of permanently
holding such markets will diminish.
This country, therefore. Is under a po
litical, as well as a business obliga
tion, to maintain its foreign commerce
as usual. The continued supply of
food and munitions to the entente pow
ers is a primary military necessity.
" 'Foreign business as usual,' there
fore, presents a twofold problem; first,
of keeping up production of export
foodstuffs, raw materials and manu
factures, despite the enlistment of a
million men in the army, and, second,
of transporting the exports and im
ports. despite the fact that the total
world's tonnage is about twenty-flve
per cent, smaller than it was at the
beginning of the war.
"Foreign shipping available for
American trade is, through war losses
ana impressment, decreasing more rap
fly tßan American tonnage is expand-
"The manufacturers of llarrisburg
and Pennsylvania generally can ren
der no more patriotic service than to
aid the shipping board in early deliv
ery of the materials necessary for this
unusual vessel construction. The pro
gram is really more engine building
than a wooden ship building proposi
tion for the lumber can probably -be
more quickly obtained and put to
gether than the machinery. The ex
pedient is frankly an experiment,
wooden ships are not economic for
normal commerce, and It would be un
fortunate after the war if they were to
be employed by the government in
uneconomic competition with private
shipping enterprise. Meanwhile, how
ever. every wooden ship that can be
put into the Trans-Atlantic trade may
leave free other vessels to serve neu
tral commerce with those nations ren
dered dependent upon us.
Commercial Problem Unchanged
Our entry into the war does not
change the commercial problem in
volved in the fact that manufacturing:
production has attained a capacity
which the normal demands of the
United States and the comparatively
small export trade in manufactures we
had before the war will not keep busy.
We are about to join Europe in vast
war expenditures. National indebted
ness and taxation will be greatly in
creased, requiring after the war every
dollar of foreign business we can fair
lj* sain. Harrisburg knows the great
prosperity brought to its people by
foreign business during this war. How
are you going to keep up that foreign
business? You must watch it during
the war and you must doubly watch
it when intensilied European competi
tion is resumed after the war. James
A. Farrell, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, and chair
man of the National Foreign Trade
Council, declared in 1914, one week
after the European war began: "For
eign trade is a vital element in domes
tic prosperity." At the Foreign Trade
convention in Pittsburgh a few weeks
ago he paraphrased it to read, "No
enduring prosperity without foreign
trade."
Urges I let tor Tariff System
"Against the possibility that a fu
ture shrinkage of American foreign
trade will decrease the present
abounding prosperity, it is sincerely to
be hoped that coincident with its war
policies the Government will develop
the following commercial policies, en
dorsed by several national foreign
trade conventions and by sound busi
ness and economic thought:
"1. Conservation of merchan' ton
nage, protection of dollar exel aitge,
and foreign investment in order to
maintain established foreign trade
during the war.
"2. Enactment of the Webb bill,
authorizing co-operation among ex
porters on the same basis as their for
eign competitors.
"3. Greater flexibility in the Am
erican tariff system, whatever be its
underlying principle, in order that
American foreign trade may be en
couraged and protected from discrim
ination during the era of world-wide
tariff changes and commercial treaty
readjustment which will follow the
war.
"4. More systematic study and co
operation between businessmen and
the government regarding internation
al commercial policies after the war
and their effect upon the United
States.
"5. Development of the American
merchant marine on a sound, eco
nomic basis, enabling American ship
ping enterprise to compete with that
of foreign nations.)

icy is as important as a sound military

The Folly of Taking
Digestive Pills
A Warning to Dyspeptics.
The habit of taking discstive pills
after meals makes chronic dyspeptics
gf many thousands of men and women
because drugs and medicines consist
ing of artificial digestents have prac
tically no influence upon the excessive
ly acid condition of the stomach con
tents which Is the cause of most forms
of indigestion and dyspepsia.
It is not enough to merely lessen the
sensitiveness of the stomach nerves
and thus give a false sense of freedom
from pain. If those who are subject
Indigestion, gas, , flatulence, belching,
bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating
would get about an ounce of pure bi
surated magnesia from G. A. Gorgas,
or any good druggist and take a tea
spoonful in a little warm water after
meals, there would be in most instan
ces, no further necessity for drugs,
medicines, pepsin pills or artificial di
gestents because btsurated magnesia
instantly neutralizes stomach acidity,
sweetens the sour stomach, stops food
fermentation and thus establishes nor
mal, painless digestion by enabling the
stomach to do its work without hind
rance.
As there are various forms of mag
nesia be sure to ask the druggist for
Kisurated Magnesia which Is the form
especially prepared for the correction
of stomach acidity.—Adv.

and maintain America's rightful
equity in world commerce. That
equity is the share of international
trade to which our productive re
sources, enterprise and skill entitle us,
because of their usefulness to the rest
of the world. No patriotic and
thoughtful American citizen desires
more nor wil be content with less. We
require a sound foreign trade policy In
order that our right to equality of
treatment may be assured. Not for
seizing unfairly the commerce, or
blocking the industrial destiny of any
people, we should in friendly competi

relations with others at what engi

the angle of repose should be reached
at that degree which marks mutual

machines and furniture was installed.
Bethlehem Steel's Gift
Practically every part of the equip
ment was donated by firms or indivi
duals. Many persons who for vari
ous reasons cannot enlist in active
service in the Red Cross work are con
tributing money for purchasing ma
terials or lending articles needed in
the workroom. The Bethlehem Steel
Company lifted out the office of the
local chapter, which occupies the front
part of the room, with a solid mahog
any rolltop desk, four large mahogany
tables, tiling cabinet, three big leather
arm chairs and a leather davenport.
The imposing suite was used by the
company in its exhibit at the Panama
Exposition at San Francisco.
Workbenches and tables were do
nated by Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart;
sewing machines, by the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company; chairs were
loaned by the Harrisburg Burial Case
Company; the Regal Umbrella Com
pany sent in a number of large store
boxes for packing bandages, and a
showcase was loaned by the Marianne
Kindermart.
Light and heat are being supplied
by the Harrisburg Light and Power
Company, the telephone service is be
ing given free by the Bell Telephone
Company. J. Porter Harris and Son
gave the services of two men, and J.
E. Dare did all the hauling free of
charge.
Bandages of all kinds, surgical
dressings, shirts, pajamas, hospital
garments, pads ,and gauze compresses
are being turned out in huge quan
tities by the volunteer workers. The
executive committee issued a state
ment this morning to the effect that
persons who desire to aid in the Red
Cross work but feel /hey cannot af
ford to pay the $1 membership fee
may become a member of the chap
ter by giving as much of their time
as possible to the preparation of
bandages and otherwise aiding the
work at headquarters.
Branch Olliecs
Branches of the aHrrlsburg chapter
of the Red Cross will be organized in
a few days at Hershey and Alillers
burg, and it is expected that several
other auxiliary branches will be es
tablished in surrounding towns within
the next two weeks.
It was said at the local chapter's
MRU SUFFERERS
Here's a right-to-the point remedy
for catarrh, head colds, clogged nos
trils, etc., that surely works like
magic. No stomach dosing, gargles,
sprays or greasy ointments—you just
breathe it.
H. C. Kennedy and other leading lo
cal druggists who sell a lot of Hyomei
every year say they will refund money
to any customer of theirs who buys it
and fails to get relief.
As you inhale this pure, wholesome
medicated air you can almost feel its
tonic healing effect taking hold—
soothing the swollen, inflamed mem
branes and tissues, opening up the
air passages, clearing out the head
and nose and throat.
It allays the inflammation, stops the
poisonous secretions, destroys the
germs which cause catarrh or money
back. A safe, harmless, pleasant, in
expensive remedy which any druggist
can recommend.—Advertisement.
