LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A plan has been for
mulated here to expand the foreign
trade of the United States through
the use of Shipping Board steamships
as exhibition vessels to carry Ameri
can manufactured products and visit
the world’s principal ports.
The idea, advanced by the foreign
commerce service of the Southern
Railway and Mobile & Ohio railroads,
has been presented to the Midwest
Gulf-South Atlantic foreign trade and
transportation committee, represent
ing commercial organizations of the
principal Middle West and Southern
states, which has been asked to lend
its weight to fruition of the plan.
Answers to letters sent to more
than a score of cities in the organiza
tion enthusiastically indorse the plan
according to H. G. McLean of Louis
ville, assistant foreign freight traffic
manager of the two railroads.
Mr. McLean says the plan is similar
to that proposed by the British gov
eminent, which proposes a gigantic
touring exhibition for British industry
The British plan, as described in a re
cent American consular report, would
he initiated with an itinerary compris
ing South Africa, Australia, New Zea
land and Canada. “The duration ol
the tour,” the report says, “will be
about eighteen months, and should the
venture be attended with that degree
of success which is anticipated for it
similar projects to other parts of* the
world will receive consideration. II
is intended that some 500 British firms
shall be invited to take part in the
tour. The scheme has been sane
tioned by the Government Board o:
Trade, and the venture will be plannee
and carried out by the department o:
overseas trade.”
Use of American foreign trade ex
hibition ships, Mr. McLean said, woulc
enable hundreds of American manu
facturers periodically to exhibit theii
products before thousands of foreigr
buyers. Such exhibitions in charge ol
competent salesmen, he declared
would make possible a vast co-ordi
nated American foreign selling organ
ization. “Moreover,” said Mr. Me
Lean, “the exhibitions are absolutely
necessary to meet the combined plant
©f hundreds of British manufacturers
who are backing the organization ol
the British products touring exhibi
fion.”
Furthermore, said Mr. McLean, il
would enable a very large number of
American manufacturers who have
never thought in terms of export trade
to enter that business at a compara
tively small cost.
