The French crop reports indicate
THAT the present harvest will all but
suffice for next winters home needs
SO that food imports should tend to
diminish. These varied influences
point towards a further steady de-

French Trade with the United States
France, Americas third best GUS
ltomer, imports more United States
merchandise than any other country
lsave England and Canada. Prior to
1.-The war England occupied first place
| in furnishing goods to France but for
I the first half of the current year the
| United States took the lead. That
America may continue as a great
source of supply France is striving
diligently to increase her exports to-
this country. Before 1914 only Eng
land shipped more goods than France
to the U. S.; but while the armies were
struggling on the soil of France nine
other countries passed her. Since the
larmistice. however, France has bent
every effort to regain her position. Dur
| ing the year ended June 1920 she ex-
ported more than 172 million dollars
worth Of goods to this country, an IN
crease of ia per cent over the pre-
ceding year, thus passing two of the
nations which had slipped ahead. Ger
tain French import restrictions which |
proved too burdensome have been re-
moved. Considering this and the in |
dustriaI reconstruction the future of |
French trade with the United States /
is bright.
Debt.
The public debt of France as of July /
81, 1914, amounted to "a billion francs.

her allies during the war and 20 bill /

have been iseued for the purpose of /

there is another spiritual leadership
which is open to US and which we can
assume The world has been made
safe for democracy, but democracy
has not been finally indicated. All
sorts of crimes are being committed
in its name, all sorts of preposterous
perversions of its doctrines and prac-

my Judgment. is to be the great priv
ilege of the democracy of the United
States, to show that it can lead the
way in the solution of the great social
and industrial problems of our time,
and lead the way to a happy, settled
order of life as well as to political
liberty. The program for this achieve
nlent we must attempt to formulate,
and in carrying it out we shall do
more than can be done in any other
way to sweep out of existence the
tyrannous and arbitrary forms of
power which are now masqueratding
under the name of popular govern

ton. 1t will not be made public until
the Naval Secretary returns, and per-
haps not until the complete list has
been referred to the White House for
the approval Of President Wilson.
The confirmation of its original judg-
ment by the board is considered in
naval circles as rebuke to Secretary
Daniels, who made numerous changes
in the first list approved by the board.
Mr.. Daniels's action precipitated the
medal controversy which eliminated in
the Senate investigation Of the con-
duct OF the navy during the war.
Members Of the board said to-day
that in the new list they had followed
regard to officers whose ships were
struck by torpedoes or mines. OF the
ten officers in this group, only six, four
of whom saved their ships, were recon-
mended for the Distinguished Service
Medal on the original list. Secretary
Daniels changed these awards so as to
give each officer whose ship was so
struck Distinguished Service Medal.
Much of the medal controversy centered
around this action by the Secretary.
Secretary Daniels added approx
mately thirty names for award of the
Distinguished Service Medal and more
than 100 for the Navy Cross. Many Of
these, members of the board explained,
we're officers and enlisted men who en-
gagged in postwar mine sweeping oper-
ations and whose claims for honors did
not come before the board when the
first list was prepared. Virtually all
of these have been added to the second
list, it was said, as have others whose
records were available for the first
time.

of publicity secured through his news
paper connections, all the weapons
which Prussianism used to destroy its
enemies and autocracy has used
through the ages to maintain its

"In my opinion all credit is due to
these men that they have fought unto
the end and upheld the standard of
uprightness, loyalty to country, self
sacrifice, hard work and gentlemanly
conduct, attributes that the ideal ma
val officer has always revered.
Prompted by Unworthy Motives
u have no desire in this letter to
bring out my personal experiences with
Mr.. Daniels, but he knows of them, and
he knows, if he knows the difference
between right and wrong, that he has
been dishonest; that he has been auto
cratic; that he has abused his power;
that he has done all this for unworthy
motives.
"In any reorganization Of the navy
to day." Admiral Decker continued,

of the country demand that there
shall be placed III the Navy Depart
ment naval officer big enough and
broad enough and of sufficient ability
70 maintain Clc StahudluS Ol tHe navy
against the encroachments of the civil
ian Secretaries who seek to make of
the navy political organization"
In another letter to Chairman Hale,
also published in the ARMY and Navy
Register" Admiral Decker assails As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt for his ref
erences to "holier than thou" group
of officers at the Navy War College at
Newport, in recent communication to
member Of Congress, suggesting GER
tain changes in the naval organiza-
ton.
This is the group of officers" Ad-
miral Decker declared, "who have stood
out against the introduction Of politics
into the navy and have sacrificed them
selves for the good of the navy and
not fattened on it.
Gold Laced Gentlemen"
"These may be the same officers who
were scornfully referred to as gold
occasion Mr.. Roosevelt sought to in
gratiate himself with the workingmen,
and the same to whom his confidential
clerk writes letters, giving instructions
that they dare not give in public with
regard to the laboring men.
But they are not scorned as gold
laced gentlemen when he meets them
in rich clubs of New York and Wash
ington."
Asserting the navy should be so or
ganlzed that all technical responsible
ity" rests upon the shoulders of
naval officer, Admiral Decker declared
this was mot Prussisnism, but common
sense"
What Is needed" he said, els naval
officr big enough and broad enough to
pull the navy out Of the slough into
which it has been thrust and revive
the time-honored feeling of glorying
in the service and sacrifice that the
country has always demanded Of the
navy, and in return for which it has
bestowed honor and respect upon it's
members"

Panderma is expected for the purpose
Of assisting in the occupation Of the

Paaderma is expected for the purpose
of assisting in the occupation Of the
Panderma-Smyrna railway. 1t is
generally believed here that Eskishehr,
where the railway from the south
forms a junction with the Bagdad line
leading to Angora, is the chief OBJ
jective Of the Greeks. It's capture
would isolate the Nationalist govern
ment at Angora. Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, the Nationalist leader, is re-
ported to be at Eskishehr with his
general staff.
Greek landings also are expected
at Mudania and Gemiik, and possibly
at Ismid. to send troops eastward to-
ward Eskishehr.
The British battleships Benbow,
Emperor of India and Lord Nelson,
with several destroyers arrived in the
Sea of Marmora yesterday from the
south.
The announcement from Paris that
the Hythe conference had intrusted
to the Greeks the task of driving
Mustapha Kemal Pasha's forces from
the Dardanelles created little surprise
in Constantinople, as no other nation
has an army available and it long has
been considered clear that only great
army can enforce tne proposed peace
terms.
