 With all the growing interest in the United States in the development of foreign trade we must not lose sight of the fact that there are essentially two sides to foreign trade People cannot buy unless they can also sell In the main goods must be paid for in goods.

 And then how about the offices of the lower grades-majors, captains, lieuten- ants-have they received their promotions much faster in this country than in the overseas force? Have officers been penalized for their eagerness to go Over- seas and be in the thick of battle? Is it true that many officers on duty with divisions in this country about to go across have been given increased rank in order to induce them not to risk tneir necks, but to stay here for training pur- poses? Is it true that these lower grade officers on duty here in Washington. be- ing in close touch with the powers that be, have received promotions relatively much faster than men in the field?
