MOV! USED TO
.MS. AMERICA
h'
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON The government o'
the United Slates, in its efforts It
promote foreign trade extension, has
resolved to enli3t the aid of the
"movie.” The Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce has announced
its intention of shortl sending to
South America one hundred pictures
of American manufacturing business
es.
Comcrclal attaches of the four A
merican embassies in South America
will be ins.ructed to display the films
to commercial clubs and other husi •
ness organizations, after which the at
taches will forward the pictures to A
merican consuls throughtout Latin
Amerlca. By some plan not yet de
I elded upon the bureau hope3 to have
.he movies shown in every importan
•ity in the southern continent. It i:
Klieved that bj’ the exploitation an
and advertisment American goods wil.
thus receive imports into South A
merica of products from the United
States will be materially an.l lastingly
ncrcased.
The chief obstacle the bureau has
thus far encountered in its efforts to
extend our over-s as trade has be' n
the lack of knowledge of South Ameri
cans regarding American manufac
tures. The big work of the bureau,
ofllcials state, is to enlighten the peo
ple in general and the importers in
particular. When the people of Latin
America have learned we have goods
to sell, and that our goods are of good
quality, the bureau officials believe,
their orders will be placed in the Uni
ted States in large part.
Heretofore by far the bulk of South
America’s trade has been with Europe.
The steamship connections With Eur
ope before the war was fifty per cent
better than between the two Ameri
cas, the officials explain. For both
business and pleasure the South A
mrrican has in the past gone to Eur
ope. He has become familiar with
European manufacture, almost to the
exclusion of the rest of the world.
Very often, officials of the commerce
bureau relate, the South American
evinces great surprise to find North
Americans commercially as enterprle
ing as Europeans.
The films to be sent south are fur
nished by the Bureau of Commercial
Economics, a private organization run
along philanthropical lines. Each
film shows the complete process by
which some article is manufactured in
Ami rii'iij by an American concern. In
cluded in the first cons gnment of
films will be one entitl'd "Picking
Cherries in California," taken by the
COUrte3y and with the co-operation of
Wells, Fai go and Company, and a
Libby, McNeil and Libby film of the
pineapple industry in Hawaii.

EFFECT OF WAR
0 ENGLISH MOVIES
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau. |
WASHINGTON.—The m03t notice
able effect of the war on the motion
picture business of England is that
bu' very few nicn are to bo seen In the 1
audiences. Consul Hitch, Notting
ham. has reported to the Department
of Commerce that women and children
are practically the only patrons of the '
• movies” throughout England.
Despite the high tax on importa
tions of exposed films, practically 60
per cent of the cinematograph pic
tures now being shown in Britain are
of American manufacture. An im
port duty of ten cents a foot is placed
on films of this class, and an addition
al war tax is palol by the theatre
owner. The theatre-going public pays
an entrance war tax of from two to
four cents in addition to the regular
price of seats, which at the present
lime rang's from six to 3ixty cents.
Films produced from the stories and
hooks of prominent writers, and with
,l leaning toward romance are in great
demand. This is attributed to the
feminine audiences.

DIMINISHED VAGABONDAGE
BOASTS COST OF OYSTERS
Pacific News Service. Wash. Pu-e.iu
WASHINGTON. And now the vng
rcnt-hobo. nomad, tramp, bum, call
him what you may-is blamed for the
ascending price of a hitherto cheap
food.
The decrease of vagabondage along
the Atlantic seaboard has caused a
decided shortage of help to man oyster
dredges and is directly responsible for
the recent rise in the price of oysters,
eastern oyster harvesting concerns
hr.ve represented to the department of
commerce.
Il is claimd labor for oyster dredg
ing is very scarce and that whereas
ip previous years during the Autumn
oyster season tramps were to be found
in great numbers and could be pre
! vt. iled upon to work during the few
wrcks the season lasted, this year such
help is not to be found.
It is believed the high prices wm
munitions and other highly prosperou’
industries are paying labor has In
duced the “Knight of the Road" to end
tv's nomadic life and that ho has be
came an industrious, prosperous and
thrifty citizen.
