SWEET ATTACKS HARDING
Says Nominee Grossly" Erred
in St. Louis Speech.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Acting Secretary
Sweet, of the department OF commerce.
made public last night letter he has
addressed to Senator Harding charging
the republican presidential nominee with
having made grossly erroneous state
ments" concerning the department. Mr..
Sweet cited extracts from n speech
made by Senator Harding at St. Louis,
Oct. 16, to the effect that the govern
ment had INDUCED in too much of med
ding in Europe and too little of trade
CO. operation with Latin America" and
that it had signally failed to extend to
its Industrial and commercial enterprises
anything like the announcement and
support which has been given British
industries by the British government"
1T may surprise YOU" Mr.. Sweet said
In his letter, and it certainly will sur
prise those who heard or read your
statements and place reliance upon
them, to learn that our Latin American
trade at the beginning OF the European
was was considerably greater than that
of Great Britain" The acting secre-
tary placed the total trade of the United
states with Latin America during 1911
10, at $2,36l. 0SS,000p and the trade of
Great Britain at $l,S99 $50 600.
In the year 1918. our exports to
Latin American countries amounted to
$9S7.355,OOO," the letter continued,
Great Britain's exports amounted to
S263, 973 600 the difference in our favor
being S723,SS1 600"
in all this there is no indication of
superior British foreign trade methods,
and you are slanderinE both your gov
eminent and the energetic business men,
especially our manufacturers and eN-
porters, whose fine cooperation with
the department of commerce and eff
cheney have overcome handiCapS.'
Mr., Sweet said the present admins
traton had inaugurated new trade
methods, and sent abroad commercial
attaches and that the Argentine gov
eminent had Indicated a desire to adopt
the methods OF tho United States In
encouraging trade because after invos-
tigation II had found them superior to
those Of other. countries.

Happy Jack was studying about this

Peter Rabbit had laughed ut TO XII

Peter has no use for nuts, but he must
know what had become OF them, for
he was still laughing as he had gone
Off down the Lone Little Path. While
he was thinking OF all this Happy Jacks
bright eyes had been wide open, as they
usually are, 30 that no danger should
como near. Suddenly they saw some
thing moving among the brown ana
yellow leaves on the ground. Happy
JACK looked sharply and then = sudden
thought popped into his head.
IN. there, Cousin Chipmunk!" he
shouted.
''Hi, there, you own selfl' replied
Striped Chipmunk, for II was he.
What are you doing there?' asked
Looking for hickory nuts" replied
Striped Chipmunk, aud his eyes twin
,fled as he said 1t. for there wasn't
hickory tree near.
Happy Jack looked hard at Striped
Chipmunk, for that sudden thought
which had popped into his head when
he first saw Striped Chipmunk was
growing into n strong, a very strong,
suspicion that Striped Chlpmunk knew
But Striped Chipmunk looked back at
him so innocent that Happy Jack didn't
know just what 20 think.
Have you begun to fll your store
house for the winter YETI" inquired
Happy Jack.
''of course 1 have. loI don't mean TO |
let Jack Frost catch me with an empty |
storehouse." replied Striped Chipmunk,
when leaves turn yellow. brown and
And nuts come pitter patter down,
When days are short and swiftly sped |
And autumn wears her colored gown /
I'm up before old Mr.. Sun
His nightcap has a chance to DON.
And have my days work well begun
When others kick their bed clothes
on"
what are you flling your storehouse
WITH" asked Happy Jack, trying not to
show TOO much interest.
