general trade problem —more* intri-

Unices tlfe problem Is solved It was
recognized the consequences might
be felt seriously throughout the 1
nation.
The greater part of the Import
trade from Europe already has been 1
cut by the seizure of railways in
France and Germany for military pur-
poses and the bolding la port of
trans-Atlantic vessels. Merchandise
Importations here from France and
Germany alone average 11,000.884
dally.
Export trade presented a still larg-
er problem. American exporta to
Europe under normal conditions
average 84,000,000 daily, nearly one-
third of whjeb le tor France and Ger-
many direct. All of this trade for the
moment Is blocked,
also Is hslted

movement.
Stoppage of foreign trade already
has been reflected by the piling up
of wheat. The great Industries also
have begun to feel the situation and
