CommarCW.1 OlltlfVOV V(r
The New Year.
Washington. D. C Jan. 1. (By the
Associated Press.) Secretary Alex-
ander of the department of com-
merce summed up the cosamerchU
outlook for 191 in part as follows:
"The closing year witnessed a fab-
ulous growth of American foreign
commerce. Our trade balance for j
1919 will be approximately four Ml
lions. A great fleet of merchant
ships new industries new sources of
supply and Increased knowledge of
our own resources are some of the
assets gained from our war experi-
ence. Before the war we were on-
gaged for the most part in the de-
velopment of our own business with
little serious thought of extension of
onr activities into world markets
and we were too indifferent as re-
gards our position of inferiority on
the high sea a Today we are awake
as never before. The pride of ante-
bellum days Is revived and we look
to see onr flag at the masthead of
an American merchant ship In every
im;rUIlt Maport or the world car-
rylna; American goods wherever mar-
kets may be found.
TSeed Freer aennnge.
"Abnormal conditions we hope are
passing. The tremendous Increase la
exports of the war period made tin-
largely of military supplies and the
still greater exports of the months
following the war. in which food-
stuffs f'gured largely may not con-
tinue Indefinitely. These tremendous
figures have brought satisfaction to
all. but gave grave concern to those
who look forward to 1930. The ex-
change in Europe Is a grave problem
and so uncomfortable for foreign
buyers as to necessitate In some
cases government restrictions on
buying. If we would continue onr
foreign trade at its present high
level there must be freer and fuller
exchange of commodities and a large
extension of credit to Euronesw buy-
ers. So let us find a condition la

San Francisco Calif Jan. 1. The
"dry- law bat slightly dampened the
enthuaiasra with which the west wel-

those who had private stocks en-
countered no insurmountable diffi-

merriment wherein to conf ume them.

the advent of the jew year unen-
livened by cheer of tht malt i inous
or spirituous varieties wss no novelty.
San Francisco met the issue bravely
and staged on the whole what was
regarded as a creditable repetition of
her traditional celebration. Those
who had private stocks repaired to
places of entertainment "parked"
their containers with the management
and thereafter drew on these anppltes
as long as the Inclination and the
supplies held out.
Those who did not. or who did not
care to imbibe thronged the streets

Secretary Tumulty Issues a
Statement on Cuban
Sugar Situation.
WASHINGTON U. C Jan. l.-Presi
dent ITileou has signed the Mc-
Nary bill continuing the United States
sugar canalisation board through 1920.
it waa announce! loony as ue vim
house that his signature had been at
tached belore midnight last night.
Secretary Tumulty issued this state-
ment: "The president has signed ths
sugar control hfH The bill confers
daKtecioB aa the pnasitnt ia the
matter ef purchasrsf sugar from
Cabs. It is deubtfal whether it
win be practicable or wise far the
presidem to exercise the power
conferred so far as the purchase
aad distribution of safar are con-
cerned." Some of the Cuban sugar has already
been purchased and there is no central
control over sugar in Cuba as there
was but year and it might therefore
be impossible for the government now
to step in and purchase the sugar
without increasing the price to the
consumer.
The bill however continues the
licensing power also and this power
may be ased to assist in coutroiing the
profiteering among distributors. Much
Cuban sugar is coming in mow sad the
indications are that prices have reached
their peak and that there will be a
tendency for prices to fall in the next
few weeks.
