Thirty per cent OF our exports TO
Russia and 20 per cent of our i'm
ports from Russia were handled by
German commission houses before
the war. This indirect method of do
ing business was expensive but our
manufacturers ignored the losses,
incidental to the commission system.
Dealing through Germany was a
habit. This was quite in line with our
general ignorance of ali things Rus
sian.
Most Intelligent persons know

one of the reasons why We have
considered armed Intervention in
Mexico a bad thing for the United
States is that imperialistic folly and
interests" with an itching palm for
the silver mines and other natural
resources Of the land of MOntezuma

turblent and stricken country. Even
now CONGRESSMAN Rainey. Britton.
Denison. and SABBATH are quoted as
favoring the retention Of at least
the northern tier of Mexican states
as a means of, and compensation for,
the restoration Of order.
All the silver mines and ranches
Of Mexico can not repay Uncle Sam

To all appearances an invasion of

not move the border below the pres

PREACHERS son EITHER WAY

(Ctnclnnau TlmeS-Star.t
The preachers SON has occupied
an unenviable position in the past
Fiction gradually has adopted him
as the juvenile william. In novel or
play or upon screen the preachers
SON. has had almost a monopoly of
the character of the returning pro-
digal
But what say these critics of the
preachers son" to the situation
about to confront the country? A
preachers son" will be the next
president of the United States The
only alternative is whether you pre-
fer a son of Baptist or Presbyterian
extraction.
For several months Charles Z.
Hughes and Woodrow Wilson will
tight each other with all the weap-
ons in their political arsenals But
in one respect they have collaborat-
ed. For the time being they have
caused the preachers son" to bear
the same exalted relation 10 the
president that the state of Indiana
bears to tie vice presidency.

Another branch, the department
of markets and rural organization

Of the department into real touch
with the farmers. Farm advisors are
appointed in most Of the states,
market experts are watching the
shipment of produce from 100 or

canteloupe shippers are, at this time
assured of finding the best posi-

trade exceeds the vision of the OPP
timists. But the big question which
is now bothering him is how he
can keep his foreign markets-after
the war. by going after them" IS
the answer Of those who are making
a study of after-the-war trade pos
sibilities. And the general impress
sion seems to be that Russia is the
country which presents the greatest
trade opportunity which has ever
come Uncle Sans way. Economists
point out that trade between the
two nations cannot endure unless
buying and selling are reciprocal.
Ships which carry our exports
abroad must return with imports.
The key to the problem lies in re-
ciprocity treaties.
