v-T1 OMORBOW THE boxing bill will
 debated on the floor of the Sen l

" OMORROW THE boxing bill will
 debated on the floor of the Sen
 ate m Hartford. The fact that the Senators voted to consider the bill after they accepted the unfavor- able report of the judiciary commit tee and declined 10 give those who favored it a chance to argue on it. means little or nO<hing. The advo- cates of boxing have gained their first point in forcing the bill to an issue and bringing it back on the floor of the Senate where it will be argued.
 From inside sources the writer learns that the bill may be passed by the Senators, but will die a nat ural death in the hands of the House. This information comes from q poll tician of high standing. He said that the bill has been recalled simply to satisfy the demands of Q few who had rendered a few politicians fayors in the last campaign. If this is so we are sorry that the bill will come up again.

For the Good of
 The Community

THERE has been an excess of exports to the A east coast of South America, but during the war the ratio was decreased considerably, and with the revived international trade and en- larged shipping facilities this ratio may be further decreased if not entirely wiped out in the course of a few years.
 In 1914 the imports from the east coast were only GA per cent of the exports, whereas in 1918 they had risen to v per cent. Normal trade conditions are expected to increase the south bound business, but larger production of export able products in Argentina, Brazil and the other countries along the east coast of South America may serve to keep down the disproportionate ratio that obtained prior to the war.
 Owing to the revival of European trade the east coast countries will probably draw more heavily from that source than they have done since the war began and a consequent falling off in some of the American exports may be ex- pected, especially in textiles.
 Manufacturing has undergone considerable development in Argentina and Brazil and this will further decrease importations of manufac- tured products, it is expected. There has been marked increase in the tanning textile and meat packing industries in Brazil, and refrigerating, milling, cement and dairying industries in Ar gentina.
 There has been marked increase in importa- tions into the United States of the products of these industries in the last five years, which has correspondingly narrowed the gap between ex- ports and imports.
 mportations of manganese has grown enor- mOusy while chromite from Brazil is new item that has come to be one of the important com modities exported to the United States by Bra zil The latter will become more and more m- portant, as Brazil is much nearer than Australia, where great quantities formerly were obtained:
 Cocao and meat and dairy products are also imported in substantial quantities.
 Exchange of certain products between the east coast countries has tended to relieve some what the former demand upon the United States for such articles as wheat and flour and wood, which are now supplied by Argentina and Brazil, according to the report of the United States shipping board.
 Excess of exports to over imports from the Brazilian, River Plate and east coast regions in the years 1914, 1918 and 1919 (estimated), are shown by the shipping board to have been as fol- lows:
 Brazilian region 1914, 2OO,549 long tons; 1918, 101, ,373 long tons: 1919, estimated, 366,0OO long tons
 River Plate region-1914 404,461 long tons; 1918, 359,679 long tons 1919, estimated, 7O1,OOO long tons.
 East coast-1914, 605O1O long tons; 1918, 461,O52 long tons; 1919 estimated, 1067, ,OOO long
