The outstanding fact in relation to
our exports is that our farmers have
enjoyed a better foreign trade than
have our manufacturers. This is prov
en- by figures from the department of
commerce, covering all the products
of the soil
The progressive effects of business
reaction in this country is shown in
the figures for imports in November
These were $23, 900, 900 below those Of
October, and 1921, 100000 under the
total for June, or a decline of 40 per
cent. Had Europe been able to have
continued exporting to this country,
as during the earlier months of this
year. the foreign exchange situation
would have been in better shape, and
our exports have been on a still more
liberal basis.
1t is the ability of the foreigner to
buy, and not his wants, which governs
Europe needs everything we can Offer
practically. There is a great hungry,
consuming market on the other side,
not merely for food products but for
all classes of our raw material The
railroads need steel and locomotives;
the farmer is suffering for the lack of
farm machinery. There are millions
needing our shoes and clothing, and
even furniture. So much has been
destroyed that there is scarcely a hui
man want that would not be sup

NORWAY PROHIBITS
REDS PROPAGANDA
(By Associated Press)

CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 21.-To stop the
circulation of Russian Bolshevist pro-
paganda, the Norwegian government
has prohibited the importation of lit
erature from Russia no matter in
what language it is printed. The only
exception is strictly scientific non-po-
litical literature.
1t has been charged here that for
some time the Norwegian socialistic
headquarters have been the center for
the distribution to other countries of
Russian soviet propaganda literature
which is imported from Northern Rus
STA by way of Northern Norwegian
towns.
This literature Is printed in Moscow
in different European languages and
breaches civil war and revolution.
1t is re-exported by Norwegian
agencies and through different chan
nels it is smuggled into other coun-
tries. This action has caused I'M
friendly feelings toward Norway and
in some instances Norwegian vessels
and crews have encountered trouble
in foreign ports.

HARVARD STUDENTS
HOLD MANY POSITIONS
TO DEFRAY EXPENSES
(By Associated Press)


CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Dec 21-Half
the Harvard University student body
of about 5000 is working its way
through college IN whole or in part.
A survey of student employment just
completed at the Graduate School sup
plemented by figures from the Student
Employment Office shows that those
obtaining regular and casual employ
ment ranging from professional house
hunting to instruction in languages to
an inmate of an insane hospital earned
more than $11.0O toward the expenses
of the academic year 1920.
Nine hundred ninety-eight register
ed for work last year, 3S2 of whom OBJ
tanned it. The number of positions
available is always less than the num-
Der of seekers.
Occupations in term time include
that of walters, chauffeurs. choremen,
furnace tenders, hotel clerks, window
cleaners, university guides and players
In jazz orchestras. Some students
spend Christmas holidays chopping
wood in the forests of Maine. One
man Is reported working nights, sleep
ing five hours out of the twenty-four,
and earning $50 a week.
Tutoring is the most popular en-
ployment in term-time and in one form
or another it is also remunerative in
the summer recess. One man last
summer earned $3.50 month and ex-
penses as supervisor of children's play.
Another spent his mornings with
group of children at a popular resort
on the Maine coast, and made $1,000
cruises as tutors, companions, or
cooks. Another man picked up sew

figures; the largest in the worlds ex-
perience. In our review of the volume
of business done we must not forget
that our dollars have appreciated;
they are buying more per unit than
for a long time. They stand for
Ian ger quantity of goods, both as to ex-
ports and imports. and more especial
ly the latter.
America isn't verging on bank
ruptcy. Far different. We have ev-
erything needed in plenty; an ocean
of currency and the best banking sys-
tenn on the planet. Moreover there is
desire to help, to build up and not
to destroy. Great constructive forces
are everywhere at work. If we have
not arrived at the bottom of the de-
cline we are pretty close to solid
earth. We have a wonderful founda-
ton on which to build.
The present depression can be put
temporary. We ourselves are in need
of the product of loom and factory, in
ever increasing quantity. We need
more homes, more school buildings,
more in fact of everything.
There is work ahead for millions of
willing hands. AS soon as this brief
and troublous period of readjustment
passes, we shall presently start with a
clean slate, on which America will
once more write-"Peace, Plenty and
Nationwide Prosperity"
And this is our time to smile in
anticipation.

time we needed the assistance of |
some one who had influence and
was willing to assist US. Mr.. !

always helped us out in every
possible way and in many cases
went to a great deal Of trouble

Hon. Jas. b. Aswell,
My dear Friend. Referring to

work overseas now in the hands
of the War Department, | wish
it were understood by the War
Department that. even when the
proposed age limit will be raised
to include me there, | shall still
be classed as a volunteer in Red
Cross work, because the Office of
of district attorney which / now
hold places me in deferred classi-
fication until 1920. In addition,
my application for such work
was entered as far back as last
June.
| congratulate you upon going
to France in the interest of the
Nation. Such work as you have
been giving the country in Con-
gress will keep you there for us
indefinitely.
Sincerely. G. L. PoRTERIE.

Middlesboro, KY, Oct. 2O.-Invas-
ion by one branch of the govern
ment Of the powers and duties Of an
other branch was denounced by Gov
ernor Calvin Coolidge, Republican
vice presidential nominee, in an ad-
dress he delivered here last night. The
governor asserted that "before the
war, as after the war, the executive
invaded directly and indirectly the
properly independent functions Of the
legislative branch Of the government.
"We refuse to abandon one jot or
title Of f-government," he said,
"We will not permit those we put In
to power, whether a man or a group
or party, to continue course which
we apprehend, will gradually sap our
civic strength and ultimately destroy
our free institutions. We will not
allow ambition to assume control of
our liberties. We propose to pre-
vent class creation whether of wealth
or of labor, maladministratiOn which

WILSON'S BOMB,
FUZLED OUT.
WAS A "DUD"
Charge Against Hard.
ing Has Fallen
Flat
(Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 19.-Assurances
are given the state department by
Count Debearn, French charge here,
that the French government has not
given authority to anyone to ap-
proach Senator Harding with sug.
gestion that he lead in the formation
Of the New World Association. Off
cial denial was made by the French
foreign office late yesterday. An
nouncement Of the visit Of the
French charge to the state depart
ment yesterday was made today by
Under Secretary Davis.
In a sharp note to the president
Senator Harding denied any such
statement as Wilson charged. The
senator declared that in his reference
to the subject in a speech at Green
castle, Ind, recently, he only had
sought to convey the thought that
there had come to him "thOse who
spoke a sentiment which they repre-
sented to be very manifest among
the French people," He added that
his words "could not be construed to
say that the French government has
sent anybody to me-"
