REAL REASON FOR H. c. L.

TWO news artices-both from the
Associated Press--in yesterday morn"
ing's Journal tell more than volumes
of bombastic announcements from
politicians and alleged experts could
tell of why the cost of living is high.
For eleven months of this year the
value of goods exported abroad was
seven billion, two hundred and forty
million dollars, and by the end of the
year the sum will reach close to eight
billion dollars, as the value of exports
for the month of November was seven
hundred and forty-one million dollars.
For eleven months of this year we
imported goods 10 the value of three
billion, five hundred and twenty EIGHT
million dollars, leaving a balance of
trade in our favor of three billion, one
hundred and seventy-four million dol
lars. by the end of the year the ball
ance will be about three and one-half
billion dollars.
ANY year before the European war
began that our balance reached one
seventh of the present balance, we
called attention TO the fact in glazing
headlines as indicative of the great
prosperity of this country. We were
able to sell to the rest of the world
half billion dollars worth of goods
more than the value Of the goods we
imported! 1t was great achievement.
1t meant the piling up OF cash and
credits at home.
But our balance for the year 1919
will be about seven times the best of
the pre-war figuresl
Another news item told the fact that
the rest of the world owes us in inter-
est-bearing debt about fifteen billion
dollars. At four per cent, this means
an annual interest account in our ia
vor of six hundred million dollars Be
fore the European war began, we sent
abroad in interest and dividends about
four hundred million dollars, which
wiped out our balance of trade except
in the best years. Now we owe Europe
nothing
We have accumulated in our vaults
more than one-third of the gold stock
of the entire world, and have out
standing credits, which must be settled
in gold or its equivalent. sufficient 10
call for three times the gold held out
side Of the United States.
Prices are high in this country be-
cause we have much more money than
we ever had before, and because the
rest of the world is buying from us
as it never bought before except when
the allies were feverishly purchasing
war materials. We have to bid against
The rest of the world for the goods we
buy.
These are the real reasons, coupled
with individual eXtravagances and lack
of production at home, for the high
cost of living.

A GOOD TIME TO DO GOOD.

Not for another year will America
be blessed with such an oppof.
to think right and do good as now ex-
lists. When the Christmas spirit is in
the air, when the message of Christ is
first in mind, men are amenable to the
sway of righteous emotions.
And if ever there has been need for
a rededication to basic truths it is
now, when in industry and politics the
differences of men have been eXagger-
ated until they seem read to fly at
each others threats. We are in need
of substitution of unselfishness for
selfishness, of national good for group
interest, of patriotism for craftsmanship,
1t Is easy to admit what we ought
to do, perhaps, but not SO easy to dc
it. Yet an example is powerful, even
though it originate humbly, And when
each citizen individually, or a major
ity of them. attempts to practice mod
Grafton and liberation in daily life, We
shall have natiomlism potent FOL
good.
The greatest kill-joy in the world j:
the man who declares that war never
can be abolished and civic evils never
be controlled, because human nature
is at heart bad. That man has mis-
read the history OF the human race
We are a long ways from being per
feet; but we are whole lot nearer per
lection than our head-hunting ances
tors And the more we believe in oul
ability to grow morally and spiritually
the faster will be our growth.
The Christmas season is a good time
to reconseerate ourselves to belle
