COMMERCE OF THE WORLD AND i

OUR IMPORTS EXCEED EXPORTS

nomenon OF an excess Of imports

of the United States In April and

SCI 900 10000 and exports $1s, 600 200. 600 The
excess of $4,000. 900 900 on the import side
is accounted for, in part, by the fact that
many importing nations include in their
import values the costs of freight. In

evidences of value. usually omitted from
statements of commerce but necessarily
constituting an important factor in the
balance sheet of nations.
A large proportion of the older and
more advanced nations show an excess
of imports over exports of merchandise.
Notable examples are the United King
dom, Germany. France. Belgium, Switz-
erIand, the Netherlands and other Eu-
ropean countries: aud Japan, China. and
Turkey. Canada shows a balance on the
import side, but nearly all other Ameri-
can countries show larger exports than
imports, this being true of Argentina

Client to offset the large excess Of sx-,,
ports in other months. Our net export
balance will probably exceed $zo0ooo. 900
for the current fiscal year. Russia, Rou-
mania. servia, Egypt. India and Java
each shows a preponderance Of exports
over imports.
The United Kingdom has foreign
trade of Sc, $50, 100000. imports being valued
at 1874, 10000, or se52. ooo.ooo in excess OF

many In 1912 had trade OF s5,o5s oo0, 900,
imports being 2,754, oo0.e00, or s44sj 900, 900
ip excess of all exports. The United
States In the calendar year 1918 had
foreign trade of s4,277. 1000, imports be-
ing 81, 1893, 100000 and exports of domestic
and foreign goods Chiefly the former),
50. 4sA, 900. making an excess of 1891, ooe,-
900 on the export side. Canada's imports
are nearly double the value of her ex-
ports. and France shows an excess OF
imports OF 1928, 600, 900 In a total trade OF
81, sS4 100000 in 1912.
The aggregate imports of the rs princi-
pal countries and colonies of the world
In 1928 were valued at $50, S45 10000 or
81, 14T, 900, 900 more than their exports. In
this vast theatre of international trado
the United States plays an important
role, having bought 10 per cent. of all
the goods which the leading nations ex-
ported. and having sold 141a per cent. Of
the merchandise which they purchased
in the markets of the world.
Considering the commerce of the Unit
ed States from 1880 to 1913, 1t is noted
that the aggregate excess of exports
over imports of merchandise in the Ia
years In question was 1881 900, and
the aggregate excess of exports of gold
and silver over imports thereof, $780,
100000. In the s. years prior to 1875 i'm
ports usually exceeded exports of mer-
chandise, there being only 1s exceptions.
In the 40 years since 1874 exports have
almost invariably been larger than i'm
ports, only four years-ts75, 1888, 1888, and
1S93-showing balance on the import
side. In the movements of gold and
silver the balance of trade shifts
more frequently from one to the other
side of the ledger, and in the last decade
imports of specie have about equaled ex-
ports thereof.

Washington, July Recommendation
of timber lands in the United States
in the hands of few owners Is dis
cussed at length in the second and
third part of the report of the bureau
of corporations on the lumber industry
submitted to President Wilson today
by Commissioner Davies.
Two men hold 40 per cent OF the tim
Der in Southwestern Washington, the
report says; five men hold 36 per cent
in Western Oregon; six have 10 per
cent in northeastern California; ten
have more than half in the redwood
area. and in north central Idaho -four
holders have so per cent.
THE control of our standing timber
in a comparatively few enormous hold
ings, speculatively held far in advance
of any use thereof, and the great in
crease in the value of timber, resulting
in part from such speculative hold
ing, are underlying facts that will be-
come more and more important ele-
ments in determining the price OF
lumber as the supply of timber di-
minishes' says the report.
1.-THE main fact shown is that 1884
timber owners hold in fee over one
twentieth of the land area of the en-
tire United States from the Canadian
to the Mexican border. In many
states these 1894 own no lands at all
In the 900 timbered counties investi-
gated they own one-seventh of the
area.
These 1894 holders own 105,60O, DOC
acres. This is an area four-fifths the
size of France; or greater than the en-
tire state of California; or more than
two and one-half times the land area
of the six New England States. Six
teen holders own 47,S00,000 acres, or
nearly ten times the land area of New
Jersey. Three Immigrant railroads
own enough to give Is acres to every
male of voting age in the nine west
ern states where almost all their hold
ings lie.
mot all this land is suitable for
agriculture. In the South and in the
lake states and in part of the West a
large portion of 1t can be used for
agriculture after the timber is re-
moved; but in many parts Of the West
the land Is mountainous and adapted
chiefly to reforestation. Much of the
railroad-owned land outside the tim
Der regions Is arid or semi-arid.
I'm the upper peninsula of Michigan
As per cent of the land is held, mostly
in fee, by 80 timber owners. In Flor
ida So holders, (mostly timber owners)
hold one third of the land in the en-
tire state.
Lavish land grants and loose. ILL.,
enforced land laws are the historical
background of the concentration of
land and timber ownership shown in
this report. A study of the present
ownership of 100000 acres of railroad
wagon-road, and canal grant lands,
covering most of the granted lands in
the map area, and a little elsewhere
shows that of these particular lands.

lions apparently with the idea that
they would be quickly sold to settlers,
only Is per cent are now distributed in
small holdings. Eighty-five per cent
are owned by the grantees or their
successors, or by large timber holders,
OF s2,50o,000 acres granted to three
Western railroads in the SOS, the
roads still retained 40 per cent. in
1910.

weary hours, Monday morning. trying
to find out who hit Motorcycle Officer
Christian Hess with piece OF gas
pipe. when he went to break up q
poolroom fight on Ciay-aye., recently.
James Murphy, Albert Meyer and
James Cantwell were charged with
the assault on the officer. 1t was a
very involved case.
Cantwell insisted that officer Hess
had precipitated the battle. Cantwell
claimed that he had gone to the pool
room as a peacemaker and not a
fighter He said that his brother had
become involved In trouble In the
place, and that he had gone to take
brother out Then Hess came in, and
threw Peaceful James out. Then
there was fight.
Yes, II was quite a long. involved
story, and as the prosecution rested.
Robert Donath, OF No. 1872 Rowena-st..

Then he explained, In German, that
he couldn't talk English. and would
