vealed by the report of the director
general of national statistics to the fin
ance minister, is attributed by vusiness
interests to the labor troubles and so
cial disquiet. which prevailed in the
country during that period.
1t is held that a decline Of nearly
sc, 600 900 pesos gold in the value of the
exports compared with the first quarter
of 1918 was at least partially due to
the port strike Buenois Aires. There
was also a falling off in the tonnage of
imports although an increase in real
values" of 12,000,0 600 pesos
Satisfaction is expressed that not
withstanding these handicaps the re-
port shows a trade balance of more
than 60 100000 pesos in favor of Argen
tina. There has been a marked in
crease in exports during the last two
or three months and it is expected here
that the loss for the first quarter will
be more than made up by the end of
the year.

SERBIA NOT ON

NEEDY CHILDREN
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-Allan NJ. Gale
of the Serbian Relief Committee com
menting on a recent despatch from
elgrade stateing that Serbia was on her
feet again, having recovered from the
immedite effects of the war, said,
THE Serbian Relief Committee of
America and all who are giving their
lives and strength to the work, know
that great as the results accomplished
appear in the aggregate they are, in
comparison TO the need, pitifully small
Much is made of the fact that this
years harvest gives the new kingdom
a surplus in cereals above its needs.
that the food situation is under con-
troll and that actual starvation no long
er menaces the people. But these facts
nave been long known by the relief
agencies and all interested in Serbia
and have been very widely published
by them. And it should be equally well
known that the harvest includes the
crops Of Bosnia and Herzegovina which
as Austrian territory during the war
suffered very little real damage
There will perhaps be no genuine
starvation in Servia through the winter
though the food supply, neither in quail
lty nor quantity, is suitable or sufficient
for the restoration of health and
strength of young children. One slight
indication of this is to be seen in the
recent shipment by Mr.. Hoover's ad.

OF these children, up to July, less than
1000 had been provided for, largely be-
cause of the tremendous difficulties at.

NATION LEAGUE HAS
Been DISTORTED, IS
OWENS OPINION

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-The league
of nations covenant has been so dis
torted and falsified" by it's critics that
"some good citizens have been In
deced to distrust It," Senator Robert
L. Owen of Oklahoma declared in an
address here last night at banquet
in his honor given by the league Of
nations association.
Although the language Of the cove
nant "be not perfectly drawn" Mr..
Owens said, cit proposes to promote
international cooperation and the
maintenance Of justice and good I'M
derstanding between nations" He as
serted was the greatest International
document ever drawn"
Discussing the merits Of the cove
nant, Senator Owens said that from
beginning to end it breeds a spirit of
liberty and justice"
"The covenant, of course, like the
United States Constitution, can be
criticised for alleged imperfections,
but In compromise draft the common
denomination of many opinions, cannot
be free from criticism" Mr.. Owens
said, and continued: The world wants
peace; it wants production OF food,
clothing. shelter and it wants an end
of BolshevisIn, the child OF despair.
The covenant will establish order,
confidence, credit, production and
commerce. Longer delay in its adop-
ton is intollerable."
