will iiK'iin an cnnrmoiis po.ssibilif)' for 

 c.xpaii.sion that will dcpi'iid in a consid- 

 crabk' incasuri' upon oinv being organ- 

 ized lo lake advantage of it. 



It i.s dilTiciilt to say just what it will 

 mean in terms of business with indi- 

 vidual countries. At the present time 

 we have praclically no export business. 

 There is jilentx of demand for our fruit, 

 but, for various reasons, we cannot get 

 the fruit there lo sujjply the demand. 

 Pros|)crous Eiiyland could use any 

 quantity of small red apples and Yel- 

 low Newtowns if the English govern- 

 ment could be persuaded that our 

 apples are not a luxury and would lift 

 the embargo. The Scandinavian coun- 

 tries and South America are literally 

 crying for apples and offering all sorts 

 of inducements, but there is practically 

 no .ship space to be had. Australia, 

 always heretofore a dependable outlet 

 for our early Jonathans, is closed with 

 an embargo. 



The individual markets open to our 

 apples in the different countries will 

 depend in a large measure on the con- 

 ditions in those countries. Personally, 

 I think that nearly all these markets 

 will be favorable. 



Europe offers the largest question of 

 doubt, because Europe is so intensely 

 in the middle of the war that nobody 

 knows what it is going to look like 

 when the struggle is over. Personally, 

 I believe that the releasing of men and 

 capital from war occupations and the 

 turning of government finances to the 

 spending of anywhere from ten billion 

 to twenty billion dollars in reconstruct- 

 ing the damaged places will produce a 

 condition of great activity. 



One element very much in our favor 

 will be the fact that European orchards 

 have been negelected during the war, 

 and those that have not been entirely 

 destroyed will show a low efTiciency in 

 production. 



Another pleasant element will be 

 found in Russia. Some day in the not 

 distant future I^ussia is going to com- 

 ])lete its own present occupation of 

 blowing off steam accumulated during 

 years of repression, and will move into 

 a period of expansion and development 

 that will draw much of the money and 

 man power of the world, Russia will 

 be a good market for our apples. 



Personally, I look for a tremendous 

 expansion in the Orient and in Austra- 

 lia. We will see a great outpouring of 

 capital and of men to the new places of 

 the world. That has come after every 

 great war. The greatest new places of 

 the world are Siberia, with its billions 

 of acres of untouched resources, and 

 China with its hundreds of millions of 

 undeveloped labor reserves. 



Perhaps also in this list should be 

 specifically included .\ustralia, which is 

 due to expand, although not in as 

 great a measure as Siberia and China. 

 Australia, you will remember, is bigger 

 than the United States, and is capable 

 of some expansion and development, 

 even if it does not approach Siberia, 

 which is more than twice as big as the 

 I'nited States. 



We of the United States are espe- 

 cially interested in all the development 

 around the Pacific, because Siberia and 



China will draw their supplies through 

 the northwestern part of the Llnited 

 States, and Australia is a market in 

 which we have a direct interest. They 

 take our low-colored early Jonathans 

 that aie mighty hard to market any 

 place else, and we wish they would 

 iiave a period of development that 

 would cause them to take many thou- 

 sands more of them. 



As I look at this entire world situa- 

 tion I find that it is impossible for me 

 to be ijessimistic. Perhaps 1 am so con- 

 stituted that it is not practical for me 

 to be pessimistic very long at any time. 



But it is pretty hard for an American 

 citizen to be ijessimistie at this time, 

 when the cenler of the world is swing- 

 ing to the Western Hemisphere; when 

 we are about to become the old world 

 and when Asia is about to become the 

 new world. 



We Americans in this day of change 

 and stress are getting a better under- 

 standing of each other, and I believe we 

 are going out collectively to serve the 

 markets of the world. 



I believe that the question as to what 

 foreign markets will mean to the boxed- 

 apple business during the days imme- 

 diately following the war will depend 

 in a very large measure on our ability 

 to organize collectively to develop these 

 foreign markets in a big way. 



Big things will have to be done if 

 we are to develop these markets rap- 

 idly. Chances will have to be taken 

 and some mistakes will be made. These 

 chances will be much better taken and 

 we will do business much more effi- 

 ciently if all the big factors in the 

 boxed-applc business will pool their 

 foreign trade into one big export cor- 

 poration. 



That is a lesson that the European 

 nations learned before the war. It is a 

 lesson that the war is teaching to 

 America, The big factors in the apple 

 business of the Northwest will please 

 take notice.
