THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
EFFECTS OF THE EUROPEAN WARS ON AMERICAN BUSINESS.
Will Have Profound Effect on Principal Industries—Disturbed Conditions May Be Followed by
Domestic Activity and Development of Merchant Marine to Handle Export Trade.
In discussing the effects of the European wars on
business in this country the financial expert of the
New York Times on Sunday said the fact that it
would have a profound and lasting effect on the
principal industries of the country was everywhere
conceded. War on a large scale between the na-
tions in Europe which manufacture for the world's
markets would curtail, if not destroy for the time
being, their export trade. There is only one nation
that could take that trade, and that is the United
States. This country would export less raw cotton
and more cotton goods. The same would be true
of other fabrics as well as of manufactures of
metal, and, of course, foodstuffs. Means would be
discovered or created to attend to the carrying of
exports where they were needed. Temporarily, at
least, this country would show a tremendous ex-
pansion of foreign trade, and the same causes
would prevent the importation of many things that
in ordinary times come from abroad. American
manufacturers would not only monopolize the
domestic field, but would go far toward doing the
same in many of the foreign ones as well. The
only check would be in the things which would be
declared to be contraband of war. And, even as to
the latter, there would be many venturesome enough
t take chances.
Permanent Export Increase.
All of this would stimulate hugely the produc-
tiveness of factories and workshops and give em-
ployment to labor in vast volume. It would also
result in articles of American manufacture being
introduced, and put to use in many countries, where
the products of foreign origin are now the vogue.
The persons in such countries would become ac-
customed to the American things and familiar with
their merits, and would continue the use of them
thereafter. In other words, there would be a con-
stant demand created for the American goods that
would result in a permanent increase of the export
trade. This would show itself with regard to the
nations of South America as well as those of the
Orient, the Far East and Africa. Ultimately, of
course, war of the kind would hurt trade with the
countries engaged in it, because of the reduced
purchasing power of the peoples caused by the
strife and the ruinous taxation that would follow
and be so great a burden.
