Trading With Germany

Tie World published yesterday a spe-
clal dispatch from Washington, with this
heading: "Revival Of our trade With
Germany Is On" The dispatch said:
"a preliminary report on the total value
of merchandise imported from and exported
to each of the principal countries during
July and the seven months ended with
July, shows that the United States trade
with Austria Hungary and Germany is re-
suming Imports from the former in July
amounted to $3.50 928 and the exports to
s1,O1s,518 Imports from Germany were
1921 ,1e6 and exports S2,426,742.
"For the seven months ending with July
there was imported from Austria Hungary
S40l ,149 worth, against $3.50 for the same
period last year, while the exports reached
2O,458121, against nothing for the same
period last year. Imports from Germany
for the same seven months totalled
$933,923, against s15624 for 1918, while
exports were S11, ,270,624, against nothing
in 1918.
"Cotton, it is understood is the largest
item in the Austrian, Hungarian and Ger
man accounts"
The Department of Commerce, it was
reported, furnished the above figures.
When at his recent conference with
the members of the Senate Foreign Re-
latons Committee, the President was
arguing against the theory that trade
with Germany could be resumed with
out ratification of the pending treaty
of peace this colloquy occurred:
SENATOR LODGE-Are we not trading
now with Germany, a matter of fact?
THE PRESIDENT-Not so far as
know, sir.
SENATOR LODGE-Licenses certainly
have been issued. 1t is advertised in all
the New York papers
THE PRESIDENT-W removed the re-
strictions that were formerly placed upon
shipments to neutral countries which we
thought were going to Germany.
But if restrictions on shipments to
neutral countries have merely been re-
moved, how could the Department of
Commerce issue specific returns of export
and import trade with Germany? Sena-
tor Fall has been abused for saying that
trade with Germany has been resumed.
Do The World and the Department Of
Commerce agree with him?

Oh, for Some Speed

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Something ought to be done to give
the people little speed. A stage coach in
the days of George III could start from
Bowling Green and reach Kingsbridge soon
er than the subway traveller, and yet this
is 15n years after the time of old King
George. We have electricity now and bunk,
and more of the latter than the former.
People travel by the million in the over
crowded streets of this swarming city from
one to three hours every day
Ten miles an hour is the average rapid
transit afforded, and this convenience is a
nightmare to many nervous wrecks who
navigate the tunnels with the proletariat

Bishop Theodore S. Henderson,

the idea of putting the big force OF

organized the Michigan campaign by
placing A. j. Stock, well known De

naming Lieut.. o. G. Raglan, army
chaplain, as field secretary.
Complete details for the plan has
been worked out for Michigan by

from every Methodist pulpit in the
state May 4. They will urge every

names of soldiers who are unem-
ployed.
With 100000 men making speeches
simultaneously throughout the United
States urging everyone within their
hearing to go out and find work for
soldiers. Bishop Henderson believes,
immediate results will be obtained.
Chaplain Raglan believes a most
conservative estimate Of the average
attendance in the 100000 audiences
would be 100. On this basis, he as
serted, the Minute Men will talk to
10000, 900 persons in every part of the
United States Nav and they will
continue talking every day during (
time the employment campaign is on.
The Minute Men will put the Dues

they cannot escape without shame
