NEGLECT OF FOREIGN TRADE
Complaints are being received by
those in close touch with overseas
trade of a lack of interest on the part
of American manufacturers in main
taining (heir present hold on foreign
markets. The truth is that as almost
every branch of industry is at the
moment faced with a home market and
an overseas market bare of stock and
equally clamorous for supplies, it be
comes exceedingly difficult to meet
all demands. But it is contended that
in too many cases manufacturers are
filling up their books with orders on
home account for many months ahead,
leaving no surplus for export.
The National Foreign Trade Council
is strongly of the opinion that manu
facturers are not showing the interest
they should in the export trade. What
are the reasons? They may be summed
up in the statement that the home
trade is lucrative and manufacturers
can get cash at once. The temptation,
therefore, is very strong to say to the
foreign buyer: “We are too full of
home orders to trouble about you;
come to use next year.” But the for
eign buyer will not wait. He will
place his order in England, Japan or
Germany. The shortsightedness of
such a policy is evident when it is re
membered that it is very difficult to
recapture an overseas market once it
has been lost. It can not be too
strongly emphasized that in a neutral
market the buyer does not greatly care
whether his goods be British. Ameri
can, Japanese, or even German. If
he becomes accustomed to non-Ameri
can goods he will not readily change
his source of supply in the future.
We do not think that the American
manufacturer would readily give up
his overseas connections, but it is true
that many manufacturers find them
selves in a serious dilemma. They
must refuse to meet the demands
either of their domestic trade or of
all their foreign trade. We believe
that the importance of export trade
is, from a national point of view, so
overwhelming that the manufacturer
would bo serving the interests of his
country, as well as his own. If he
could so arrange his order hook that
overseas demands should secure a fair
share.
The heads of our great business con
cerns should seriously consider the
question as one of policy, and we have
no doubt that the claims of overseas
markets will not be disregarded. Our
keenest competitors, England and
Japan—to be followed sooner or later
by Germany—are sparing no efforts
to establish themselves firmly in over
seas markets. Unless the American
manufacturer is equally energetic he
may find himself in the future bitterly
regretting the fact that he did not add
other strings to his bow in the shape
of good overseas connections.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Alaska—we love her for her incon
veniences and idiosyncrasies, her foi
bles and her follies, her alluring vi
sions of wealth and her lack of social
caste, her broad-minded people and
her thousand jeweled hills, her unlim
ited opportunities and her numberless
chances to live and die, free, unfet
tered by social standards. Her resi
dents are nature’s noblemen, and of
the purple. Alaska, we congratulate
you on being 52 years young.—Valdez
Miner.
One of the measures to be voted on
by the members of- the Alaska Indus
trial Union—which is the new name
for the late lamented Alaska Labor
Union—is that the United States gov
ernment should recognize the Rus
sian soviet government. The by-laws
would look a lot better with that clause
stricken out.—Douglas News.
