Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Trade and Shipping, Vol. 16: Written for the Alexander Hamilton Institute The last five years have given to the people of the United States what they formerly had only in a small degree, a world outlook. Foreign trade is not to the same extent as formerly a thing remote, because as never before our people have begun to take part in the economic life of the world at large, since they found themselves forced to enter the struggle for the world's freedom. The recent war showed us plainly that America's future will be safe only to the degree in which its peo ple carry into their peace labors the same devotion, ideals and cooperative spirit which marked their war time sacrifices. The world expects great things of America. It entered the war for the sake of an ideal. May Amer ica's foreign trade expansion be similarly actuated by more than the desire for gain, or the will to conquer. May it become a potent force in spreading American ideals of justice and fair dealing. Upon the exporters and their representatives rests a great responsibility. They have it in their power to strengthen or to destroy the high esteem in which America is now held abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shipping Situation of the World: An Address Delivered by James A. Farrell, Chairman, National Foreign Trade Council, Before the Tenth National Foreign Trade Convention, New Orleans, La., May 4, 1923 The restriction as to sales of ships to foreigners still obtains. So, while we can sell shipbuilding material and all other products of the soil, mills, and mines, to the nations of the world, the Board seems unwilling to dispose of tonnage to foreigners, except conditionally, resulting in an intolerable burden upon the taxpayer in maintaining upkeep with three-fourths of the Ships idle, coupled with losses under the so-called M. O. 4 operating agreement on the balance. About tons of the original fleet have been bought by private Shipowners, who are still operating, mainly in the intercoastal trade. Of the total tonnage owned by private owners, about 9070 is in operation in various trades without, material competition coastwise, but in direct competition with foreign as well as with Shipping Board vessels in overseas trades, in which business operat ors of Government tonnage are guaranteed against losses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The European War and Our Opportunity in Foreign Trade Despite the broad views and the keen appreciation of our needs on the part of some of our great manufacturers, mer chants, bankers and railway men, and the efforts of organiza tions such as the Illinois Manufacturers Association, and the Chicago Association of Commerce, however, the mass of our people and the majority of their representatives in Washington, have believed that we in this country were very little concerned with world commerce and the questions of international politics arising therefrom. The producers of our great staples grain and cotton - realized perhaps that their goods were destined eventually to go abroad, but their experience was confined to their relations with middlemen and bankers who purchased and financed their crops for delivery at, and ship ment from, the seaboard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ocean Trade and Shipping N der the general and very comprehensive head of Ocean Trade and Shipping come a whole host of separate industries and undertakings. Many of these, and of the rights and liabilities connected with them, have long been the subject of important treatises. To others of them, special reference may be found scattered in business publications here and there. In the case of many, however, it would be difficult to find treat ment of them anywhere. The whole, collectively, have apparently never been dealt with at all. And indeed to supply, in a single small volume, a summary of enterprises so many and so various must needs be a somewhat courageous undertaking. Still, by a process of selection, elimination and condensation, and with the kind and valuable aid of many expert business friends, I have done my best. It is of course an explanatory work, proceeding on broad lines, rather than a technical treatise. It does, however, as I hope, deal with many if not most of the subjects on which information will be useful or at any rate instructive to the naval and military officers for whom it is primarily intended. If this should prove so, I shall be content. To army officers, a knowledge of the machinery of shipping and its working must at the least be interesting, seeing that the transfer and maintenance of oversea forces involve its constant use, while in the event of war sea transport becomes for an imperial Power a military factor of the first importance.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Domestic and Foreign Commerce of the United States, Vol. 2 Before considering in detail the history of the foreign commerce of the United States during the period of national life under the Constitution, it will be helpful to survey the status of the industries and trade of the United States in 1789 and 1790. This will afford a fixed point from which to measure the progress antecedent and subsequent to the adoption of the Constitution. The year 1789 was significant in the economic as well as the political history of the United States. The country was recovering from the business depression that had begun in 1785. The revival of industry from the setback of that year had been slow, but the country was in reality economically sound. Abundant available resources awaited development; and what was needed to enable business to expand was an effective government with power to provide itself with revenue, to establish public credit, to create a sound national currency, and to regulate interstate and foreign trade. The government under the Constitution, steadied by the judgment of Washington and guided by the financial and political genius of Hamilton, established conditions required for the internal development of the country. The working out of international relations favorable to the foreign trade of the United States proved to be a more difficult task Indeed, it was long after the second war with Great Britain that the United States first secured satisfactory commercial treaties with several import ant powers. The handicap which this placed upon the foreign trade of the United States was, as will be pointed out later, more than overcome, from 1793 to 1805, by the continental European wars that gave American merchants exceptional opportunities is neutral traders. The Constitution and the measures adopted early in Washington's administration enabled internal industry and trade to continue the growth that had started before 1789; but foreign commerce was given its first strong impulse by the continental wars. The growth in population, by natural increase and by immigration, was rapid. The first census of the United States, taken in 1790, showed that there were 3,921,326 people in the country, of whom about five-sixths were white and one-sixth black.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Training for Foreign Trade Educators throughout the land in ever-increasing numbers have turned to the Department of Commerce for material and advice in teaching the methods and facts concerning foreign trade. The Department, from selfish motives, is keenly interested in bet ter foreign-trade education, although the number of persons employed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at home and abroad 18 small as compared with the number that will find private employment in our national foreign commerce. It is constantly brought to our attention in selecting men that education and train ing of this nature is absolutely essential, either before or after enter ing the service Of the Department. Encouragement of education and vocational training for foreign trade is therefore distinctly a function of this Department. To stimulate this education is the purpose, in its larger aspect, of the cooperative plans of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and the United States Shipping Board. This educational movement was initiated by Bulletin 24, Commercial Series No. 2, on Education for For eigh Trade and Shipping, written by the authors of this pamphlet and published by the Federal Board for Vocational Education in the fall of 1918. Many educational and commercial institutions have already put its suggestions into actual practice with success. This bulletin, now revised and enlarged, is prepared to meet the needs of those who organize and instruct classes, by assembling, systematizing, and organizing literature of foreign trade with ref erence to the best methods for instruction in the technique and character of our foreign commerce.

Download or read book Packing for Export written by Department of Commerce and Manufactures and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Packing for Export: Suggestions for Preparation of American Merchandise for Shipment to Foreign Countries Adequate and satisfactory packing of American merchandise for export will always be so important a factor in our foreign trade that the Bureau of Manufactures feels justified in keeping this subject in the foreground by the frequent publication of advice and counsel and by the reiteration, when it seems necessary, of principles and facts which are no doubt already well known to the majority of those who have been long in the business of exporting our products. There will always be newcomers in this field to whom the recorded experiences in regard to packing for export will be of value, and the faults and mistakes to which attention has so often been invited by consuls and commercial agents need not be repeated if exporters will study the records of conditions abroad and use the now well-known best methods of packing with the first foreign order. Soon after the publication of the pamphlet on Packing for Export issued by this Bureau in October, 1909, circular letters were addressed to consuls asking a series of questions covering this subject. In general, a very gratifying record is shown in replies received in regard to the high standard of the methods used in the United States in packing for export trade. From most of the ports of the United Kingdom, of France, Germany, Italy, the Orient, and Africa, and from many localities in Central and South America are received statements that for most products the character of packages used is entirely adequate. The criticism which is most frequently made is directed toward the packing of cotton, and to a lesser extent to the methods of the shipment of flour, cottonseed products, furniture, and machinery. As the packing of cotton was considered quite fully in the previous pamphlet, it has not been deemed necessary to make extended com ment here. Illustrations, however, of satisfactory packing of this staple are included. The statement may be made that more and more care is being taken with respect to this export. American cotton will, of course, retain its important place in our foreign trade, but it is needlessly handicapped in the markets of the world by the use of inferior packing methods.
