TEMPLARS ASSEMBLE
THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL coNcLAvE
OPENS AT KALAMAZOO.

The Order shown TO he steadily Increas-
ing In Numbers and the Financial Con-
dition Good--Grand Master Hugh Me-
Curdy Delivered an Address-Knights
of Pythias Assemble at Benton Harbor.
KALAMAZOO, May 16.--The 3sth con-
clave of the grand commandery,
Knights Templar of Michigan, began
here Tuesday afternoon. The rain
early in the morning was disappointing
to the ladies. A carriage drive had
been arranged by the local committee
for their entertainment. But as it be-
gan to clear off about 1870 many of tho
ladies, despite Che dampness, rode to
the asylum, where they were given
every attention by the officials.
In honor of the great occasion many
local merchants decorated their stores
with flags and bunting, until the bust
ness streets assumed holiday appear
ance, which helped to dissipBte the
gloomy day.
At 1880 p. IN. the lines of grand com.
mandery were formed at the American
House; then under the escort of PENN
sular commandery, No. 8. Knights
Templar, all the members being in full
uniform, the procession marched to the
Masonic hall, where the grand COM
mandery meets.
AT O'clock the grand commandery
of the state met in solemn conclave.
The session was opened by Grand Com
mander Henry L. Anthony Of Sturgis,
who introduced in few chosen words
Hon. Hugh McCurdy of Corunna, grand
master of the grand encampmento of the
United States, and who was fraternally
and cordially welcomed to the session.
Mr.. McCurdy responded in an eloquent
address.
The grand commander then delivered
his annual address, which showed the
condition Of the order in this state and
its steady increase. The report of the
grand secretary was then read, as also
that of the grand treasurer. Both re-
ports showed that the financial condi-
ton Of the order was good.
At night an elaborate banquet and
bali was given the grand commandery
by Peninsular Commandery, No. s.
The Masonic temple was magnifcently
decorated.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.
Though at Present In Our Favor, 1t Must
rrjure Us Later.

Ihough at present In Our Favor, 1t Must
Irjure Us Later.
II has frequently been noted between
1908 that England and other European
countries We're purchasing much less
raw cotton from the United States. the
idea generally prevailing that this was
due to depression in European trade
and in those countries to which Europe
sells her goods. During the present cot
ton season, however, since Sept. 1, 1898,
England has taken $3.50 bales of cot
ton more from us than she did during
the corresponding period of the previous
season. Continental Europe has also
taken 900 bales more up to March 10
than year ago, thus making aggregate
additional purchases in round numbers
of 1000, 900 babss more raw cotton than
we sold Europe during the first half of
the cotton season of 1923 than year
ago.
Taking the average export value of
cotton per bale at $50, these increased
European purchases of raw cotton alone
add $50, 900, 900 to the value of our ex-
port trade and tend to increase the bal
ance of trade largely in our favor. But
it is question whether this increase in
our cotton exports can consequently in
crease our balance of trade as a favor
able factor or not. We believe that it
does not. While Europe has been buy
ing more American raw cotton, it also
appears that during the same period our
home spinners, the American manufac-
turers, have taken 262, 900 bales less of
raw cotton than last year and 634, 900
bales less than two years ago.
This points to but one conclusion--that
the American cotton manufacturers are
making smaller quantity of cotton
goods than they did either in 1893 or
1892, and consequently that the amount
of capital employed in the cotton mills
is not SO reproductive, and, further, that
both the number of hands employed in
the mills and the wages paid to them
must be smaller.
The increased demand for American
raw cotton by European countries clear
ly points to the fact that in anticipation
of the lower duties to be levied under
the Wilson bill upon cotton manufac-
tured goods imported from foreign coun-
tries the foreign manufacturers are pre-
pairing to lay in supply of raw ma
terial in order that they may be in
a position to take advantage of the
freer trade offered them by tho Wilson
bill and supply the American market
with cotton goods made in Europe, to the
exclusion Of American goods, to the det-
riment of our mills and manufacturers
and to the serious injury of our Ameri-
can labor.
Under such conditions as these, which
are clear and conclusive, we can certain
ly not regard with equanimity any in
crease in the balance of trade in our
favor, which is gained at much greater
subsequent loss to our industries and our
labor. The heavy exports Of raw cotton
will be only a temporary advantage, be-
cause later we must pay out two and
three times its value for the goods into
which that raw cotton is manufactured.
