MANY UPHEA VALS OCCURRED
DURING THE YEAR 1919 AS A
RESULT OF THE WORLD WAR

Although the war ended more than
year ago. 1t was impossible for the
world to adjust itself during 1919 to
conditions wrought by the mighty up
heaval of nearly five years of hos
tilities, in which nearly all nations
were directly involved. Those not par
ticpating directly in the hostilities
were effected economically and So
sally. Isolation from the world dis
turbance was not possible.
~The greatest upheaval was in the
Russian empire, which for centuries
had been subjected to the most grind
ing despotsm. More than ninety per
cent of the cZars subjects could not
read. and the widest theories of DEM
agogues easily took root in field SO
fertilized with ignorance and super
stition.
The theories of Lenine and Trotzky
that of a soviet government in con-
tradiction to our citizens govern

Washington, Dec. 3l.--Anv move

the government has been tracing mo-
tives, methods and mannerisms of the
element which has been charged with
seventy-five per cent of the unrest in
this country, Representatives of the
department of Justice working with
secret agents of the allied powers
have gone into the Russian Bolshevst
territories to obtain definite informa-
ton of the plans of those responsible
for introducing TO the world the die
tatorship of the proletariat

that the Red movement does not
mean an attitude OF protest against
alleged defects in our present political
and economic organizations Of society,
II does not represent the radealism
of progress. II represents specific
doctrine, namely, the Introduction OF
dictatorship by force and violence. 1t
is not a movement of liberty loving
persons, but distinctly a criminal and
dishonest scheme
"Lenine, himself, 1t is proved. mad
the statement that among every hun
dred Bolsheyists there is one real Boil
shevist, thirty nine criminals and
sixty FOOLS and in Russia's expert
ment, we find, the dictatorship of the

generated into a military dictatorship
of subsidized and cornpt portion of

Acquaintance with the doctrine Of
the Reds Mr.. Palmer said, was the
most forcibe methods of ending their
activities in this country. He urged
the American people, Ia the interests
of Jaw and order, peace ana happiness
and the maintenance of national
solidarity, to study the full meaning
of theN Red idea and to counteract

FABULOUS GROWTH
Of us. FOREIGN
TRADE REPORTED
Our Balance for 1919 Will Be
About Four Billion Dollars;|
1920, However, Is Viewed
With Much Concern.
ysy MORNING 1ousnAL SPECIAL LEASED wrRsl

washington, Dec. 81 tDy the AsSo-
ciated Press) Secretary Alexander
of the department of commerce to-
day summed up the commercial out
look for 1920 as follows
THE closing year witnessed a fab
ulous growth of American foreign
commerce. Our trade balance for
1919 will be approximately four BILL
lions. A great fleet of merchant ships
new industries. new sources of supply
and increased Knowledge of our own
resources are some of the assets gain
ed from our war experience. Before
the war we were engaged for the most
part in the development of our own
business. with little serious thought
of extension of our activities into
world markets and we were too indif-
ferent as regards our positions of in
feriortv on the high seas. Today We
are awake as never before. The pride
of ante bellum days is revived and we
look to see our flag at the masthead
of an American merchant ship in
every important seaport of the world,
carrying American goods wherever
markets may be found.
Abnormal conditions we hope are
passing. The tremendous increase in
the exports of the war period. made
up largely of military supplies and
the still greater exports of the months
following the war. in which foodStuffs
figured largely. may not continue in
definitely. These tremendous figures
have brought satisfaction to all but
gave grave concern to those who look
forward to 1920. The exchange in
Europe is a grave problem and so un-
comfortable for foreign buyers as to
necessitate in some cases government
restrictions on buying, If we would
continue our foreign trade at its pres
ent high level there must be freer
and fuller exchange OF commodities
and large extension Of credit to Eu-
ropean buyers. So let us find a con-
dition in which buving and selling will
be of profit to both sides On that
basis we may build commercial
structure on q firm foundation.
ut is too much to expect that nor
NAL conditions for which we all are
so impatient should come within the
fourteen months since the signing OF
tie aFinistiue. Tie wonder is That
the situation is not more unsettled.
Existing conditions are not unlike
those following other wars, only the
problems are of greater proportions
ond more complex. Our domestic
situation. is not free from difficulty.
Let us hope that in the year 1920
there Will be less social unrest, that
production will increase and living
costs be gradually reduced and that
by Intelligent cooperation and un-
selfish regard for the public welfare
our national prosperity may con-

fit man, mentally or physically, to be

TUMULTY GOES TO CAPITOL;
THREE CONFERENCES HELD
ON TREATY COMPROMISE
Republicans and Democrats Find Article Ten Great Stumbling
Block to Ratification; Efforts to Smooth Out Differences
Are Being Made With Some Hope of Success; President
Is Taking interest in Negotiations Now Under Way.
tBy Morning journal Special Leased wire)

Washington, Dec. 3l.-Geting down
10 cases In their discussion of peace
treaty compromise, republican and
democratic senators found today that
Article X continued stumbling block
in the way of an agreement.
Senate leaders of both parties again
were active in the negotiations and
the succession of conferences indi-
Gated that the situation might take
more definite form. 1t was said thai
although no agreement was in sight,
the sitting process had cleared many
collateral points and had centered at
tention on few reservations, notably
the one relating to Article y.
1t was the reservation on this point
as framed by the foreign relations
committee, which President Wilson
characterized as meaning a rejection
of the treaty. Determined 10 get some
modification democratic senators have
presented several suggestions, but all
so far have been regarded on the re-
publican side as poing too far. The
republicans, in turn. have suggested
changes which the democrats regard
as notifications of language only.
Three Conferences Held.
Three conferences attracted partic-
ular attention among the many which
were held today. Senator Lodge. of
Massachusetts, the republican leader.
went over compromise SuSBeStlOllS
with Senator Pomerene of Ohio,
democratic member of the foreign re-
lations committee.
Later, Secretary Tumultv went to
the capitol and, speaking for the
president, discussed the situation with
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska acting
leader of the democrats. Tonight Mr.
Hitchcock called into consultation all
democratic members of the committee
in town.
Details Of none of these meetings
We're reaveaied, but ii was understood
that specific reservation changes were
discussed and that i'm each case Article
X figured prominently.
AS a committee member who work
ed for unreserved ratification and
later voted for acceptance OF the re-
publican reservation program, senator
pomerene is understood to have given
Senator Lodge a comparative estimate
of compromise sentiment among the
democrats and to have outlined how
far he thought the administration SEN
ators would be willing to go in regard
to Article X.
Tumulty's Cali Explained.
Secretary Tumulty said his call on
Senator Hitchcock was to obtain. at
President Wilson's request the latest
information about the situation. He
