FOREIGN TRADE
Trade With Russia

Trade with Russia. which has SC
long been agitated. is making slow
progress. The Chamber of Com
merce OF the State OF New York re-
Gently adopted a resolution urging
the United States government 10
withhold recognition from the soviet
regime. Its reason is i'm part that
production even by labor operated
under martial law is negligible, and
that payments for exports 10 soviet
Russia must be settled mainly out
OF resources unjustly appropriated
from their lawful owners"
The great powers have fOndly en-
tertained the idea that they could
resume trade with Russia and at
the same time avoid formal recog-
milton of the soviet government.
Subsequent developments do not sup
port this reasoning. The idea is APP
parently a delusiOn. The soviet is
using Russian trade as a lever TO
compel recognition of itself. The
allies must buy Russian trade with
recognition. Whether il is worth
the price-or at present r. worth any
price-may be question.
Resumption of trade relations i'm
plies recognition. II is in itself a
kind Of recognition. inasmuch as the
bolshevists control the commerce
and industry Of Russia leaf. twig
and branch. Furthermore. it seems
unjust 10 many fair-minded men
that trade FOR profit should not
confer upon both parties an equal
benefit, and that certain countries
should exploit another country whose
government for reasons deemed suf-
ficient they refuse to recognize. Thus
II happens that trade with Russia
continues purely nominal and verbal.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Freedom From
Uncertainty

The business man is essentially a
creature OF habit. Business oper-
ates in observance OF fixed rules and
upon the presumption Of reasonable
stability and permanency in cOndi-
tiOns For this reason business is
very sensitive 10 disturbing infiu-
ences. Uncertainty is the bane Of
the business mans existence.
What would freedom from uncer-
tainty. from all the clouds of dis
trust and apprehension which lower

from uncertainty comparable to that
OF early 1914 be like? The average

strikes, the collapse Of exchange.
railroad embargOes, and so on, can
only dream OF this idyllic state and
long for its return without awaken
ing 10 find his dream a reality. Best
opinion looks for a continuance Of
abnormal conditions during the next
tive to eight years. Time is required
TO complete the basic readjustments
now in progress. The public need
have no fear as 10 the outcome, nor
has IL reason for impotence. The
world IS making progress.
The present state of flux has this
redeeming feature-it turns the spot
light on many age-long imperfec-
lions in the social and economic
system that otherwise the nation
would ignore. Now is the oppOr-
tunity for rational reform.

Intensification OF all the adverse
influence hitherto prevailing have
brought the construction industry
10 the brink of real crisis. Build

antly, have slackened. May permits
in number Of representative cities
show a decline ranging from one
half TO twO-thirds of April totals.
The Dow service reports, published
in New York where strikes affecting
transportation gravely aggravate the
situation, estimate that building Is
scarcely more than 40 percent

may dwindle 10 % percent

STOCKS.

Extremely light trading has dis
tinguished a market devoid of novel
feature and without pronounced
trend Tight credit holds the trad
ing under rein. Political uncertain
ties have played a leading part in
calculations, and marked hesitation
developed pending a satisfactory out
come OF the republican cOnN ention.
Present national and international
conditions are admittedly critical
and the presidential election this
year has bearing upon the course OF
economic readjustment of an I'M
portance that can hardly be eXas-
geratcd.
Numerous critics Of the market
feel that conservative industrial is
sues have been deprecated without
warrant. Notwithstanding cGnIella-
tions in textiles and other lines, a
majority OF earnings will continue
large Earnings OF the first half
year are in some instances sufficient
to pay dividends for the entire year.

COTTON

Crop reports are emphatically bad
and lend support TO the long side OF
the cotton market. Many southern
helds are clogged with weeds and
grass for want Of labor 10 perform
the necessary cultivation. IL the
long side becomes overcrowded, re
action will occur. General cOndi-
tions affecting money, labor and
politics deter price advances prompt
ed by the unpromising crop outlook.
Exports are tagging. The goods
trade is quiet. although hit less hard
than silk and wooden goods. These
factors seem to preclude an extend

wanted such car-the New LIGHT.
SIX satisfies this desire.
Although this new six-cylinder
car weighs but 2400 pounds, it is
so perfectly balanced that its road
ability is remarkable there is no

WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED

y Terrence insolvency, Mayor OF
Cork, is dead. The story of his death
is one which has been chronlcled the
world over. The question now arises
s'AWhat did Terrence McSWeeney ac-
complish by his death?"
= 1t is true that to some extent, ne
was a victim of persecution. But
did his death win anything worth
while fer ireland? We think not.
!, In the annals Of Irish history, the
name, of Terrence McSweeney will
live long. He was martyr TO a
cause, some will say, but, was he!
His death was certainly not the do
ings of the British government: HIS
death was in every respect, suicide.
To the, emotional mind, McSweeney
set an example of patriotism which
will have it's good effects; to the
more rational mind, insolvency is
not such ratriot as he might have
been had he lived to carry out the
ideals of his creed A dead, man is
of little aid to his nation. Hlssmem-
ory might be an inspiration, bht nus
deeds would far eVerba1xuce the
scale if he were alive to. Lead his
forces on to victory: sstss
insolvency is dead HIS Sdea tn
will forever be cherished afemery
to the loyal Irishman, bue his death
did not win for Ireland it's freedom
from British rule nor will it in any
x
way hasten the enlightenment OF the
burdens Of his people. ''',.ss't

Caught on the Wing

Bet Mr.. Harding will be surprised
when they notify him that he has
been elected president.
Dirty politics never won an cleo
ton as the Ohio democrat who start
ed the recent Harding Scandal" now
probably knows.
With Cox running for president
on the Democratic ticket and another
Cox aspiring for the home office on
a labor ticket, is there any wonder
that the wires got crossed bit last
Tuesday.
The ex-kaiser is now said to be
wearing a beard. William has made
many changes in his facial camou-
flage since his little sojourn in Hol-
land but somehow even this, has
failed to overcome a few little griev-
ances still existing in the world:
That crank preacher who went on
"Hunger Strike" to force his
daughter into the church and finally
received "call" to again resume
three squares day, made good
newspaper copy if he did fail to
arouse much sympathy in, his case.
That Alexandria girl scheduled to
represent Minnesota at the Texas
cotton palace at Waco, will certain
ly witness one of the greatest agri-
cultural displays in the nation. Ii
she does not meet up with an Old
time "Texas Norther'' she will prob
ably have a big time.
