The railroad administration and" the shipping board have completed plans for routing the export trade of the Mississippi valley through South Atlantic and gulf ports. The first actual step toward the introduction of this new industrial program for the middle west was taken today when Director General Hincs, of the railroad administration, directed that preferential tariffs covering both class and commodity rates on export traffic originating in tbe Mississippi valley be made for the "port of New Orleans.

Later, It was said at the railroad administration offices, new export rates to other gulf ports and Soutli Atlantic ports will be made. Under the order of the director general is to review the new preferential tariffs before they are put Into effect. Ships to Be Provided. The shipping board Is to do Its prt by providing ships to carry from gulf and South Atlantic ports to foreign ports the products of the central west. The time is near at hand.

It was eald nt the shipping board offices, when hfn ror this purpose will be available. the end of this month the soldiers will nearly all be home from Kurope and many ships that for months have been engaged exclusively in traneiort work will be available for foreign trade purposes. As many of these ships a are required to handle the new gulf bul nens will be assigned to it. The plan for diverting the export business of the central west from the Atlantic coast portu to gulf jorts is not of recent origin. Kven befure the war came on it had received some consideration, but nothing was ever actually done toward putting It into effect.
