duction Of coal about 1000. 900 tons
per week.
The question that would remain
would be the transportation of this
coal. The blame for the shortage
OF cars is something that cannot
De fastened on the shoulders of any
one at this time. 1t has it's origin
iar back in the ort-sighted atti-
tude OF the Interstate Commerce
commission, the hostile feeling of
the public, which hurt the credit
OF the railroads, and this was COM
pncated by the tangle resulting
from government control during the
war. At present the railroads are
Trying to obtain allowances from
the government to borrow money
through the sale of notes to in
crease their rolling stock. but the
FUNDS SO far forthcoming are in
adequate to meet the urgent needs.
In all probability more equipment
ana ehicient handling of rolling
stock Will prove to be the only
solutlon of our coal problem. 1t
might be fairly simple matter to
speed up the production of coal. but
there would seem to be no reason
why the output should be allowed
to- Accumulate at the pithead while
operators are clamoring for cars
to move their product. Evidently
the railroads must have money i'm
mediately to buy more cars, and
equipment companies must work
overtime to meet the call. With
the transportation problem in pro-
cess of solution, the threat of coal
shortage would soon begin to lose
its most menacing aspects.

cotton found little encouragement
in the news today and after the
market had developed firmness there
were recessions from the top, with
the exception of July. which ended
around the best. First prices were
to II points lower, due to selling
by Wall Street and the South. The
decline was followed by a rally to
a level Is to 20 points net higher.
Trading late in the day was con-
fined chiefly to switching from July
to later months. The close was

Spot here was quiet with middlinC

From the standpoint of CONNER
cial relations, probably the most
important problem which has been
left to take care of itself is the
question of whether trade shall be
resumed with Russia and how II
shall be resumed. One of the sig
nificant but obscure passages of the
Republican platform committed the
party as favoring the renewal OF
trade relations with all countries
with which we are now at peace.
Does this mean Russia? No ma
ton. except Poland, is at war with
the wreck of the old Muscovite en-
pire, but none is doing business
with her. One of the greatest
countries Of the earth, with
population exceeding 20o.o00.ooo. is
strangling under the grip OF
commercial blockade.
The basis for this attitude by the
rest of the world is no secret. The
type of civilization to which the
rest of us are accustomed abhor
the communistic doctrine upon
which the Soviet government Is
based and the practical tyranny
which 1t involves. More than poll
tics is at stake. The very eco
nomic principles by which the world
has progressed since the DAk Ages
and which have been responsible
for its tremendous growth in the
last century are threatened by the
dogma of Bolshevism.
Nevertheless 1t is within the
bounds of confer vatism to state
that 1t will be difficult for this old
world of our to rehabilitate itself
without lending hand to Russia,
and without availing itself of the
vast resources which Russia is able
to supply. Russia is one of the
chief granaries of the world. Her
mineral resources are vast. OF plat
mum she has almost a monopoly. In
petroleum she could easily stand
second to the United States. The
vast timber reserves of Siberia have
an estimated value of between $780,
100000. 600 and $4,000, 100000. Her
crop OF flax would go far toward re-
plenishing the worlds linen supply.

Fuel Situation in United States
Possesses Tragic Possibilities

| In its practical aspects the fuel
situation in the United States is
anomalous and possessed of tragic
possibilities. Here we are the self.
admitted greatest nation on the
face of the EARTH" the leader OF
the world in the production of Pc
troleum and coal. yet undergoing a
serious shortage in both these prime
Industrial necessities. According to
the Geological Survey. this country
can mine 1,00O.0oO,000 tons of coal
year for 1000 years. Wyoming
alone has an underground supply
of nearly 100000, ,000. 900 tons. We
lead the world in oil production
with about 400.o00,00O barrels per
annum.
Yet headlines tell us that we are
facing a serious coal shortage this
winter, and the bituminous product
Is selling in Pittsburg. the very
heart of the coal region. at SIS per
ton. We are talking about placing
an embargo on the export of coal
at the risk of provoking interna-
tional reprisals on the part of ma
tions which are suffering more
severely than we possibly can, and
which, unlike ourselves, have no
vast uncovered reserves of fuel,
Moreover our fuel oil situation is
no better. According to official in
formation, more than 400 oil burn
ing vessels. the pride of our mer-
chant feet, are detained in our
ports between Boston and Newport
News owing to their inability to
obtain fuel oil.~
The situation with regard to fuel
oil is not easy to remedy. There Is
considerable difficulty about trans
porting the product from Mexico,
the present chief source of supply.
Production in Mexico has fiuctuated
more or less during the past year,
partly because of political disturb
ances and partly because salt water
impaired the production of certain
fields. Methods of distribution re-
main to be improved.
Cause of Coal Shortage.
Our coal scarcity is partly a labor
and partly a transportation problem.
Mine operators lay a portion Of the
blame for the shortage on their
employees, many of whom are foi
.eigncrs and much addicted to holi-
days in these times of fat pay en-
velopes. The reports of the Geo
logical Survey show that during the
month of May the mines were pre-
vented from shipping As per cent of
the coal available through lack of
cars. W
The evidence at hand goes t.
show that at present we are mining
only a little over 100000 tons OF
coal per week, when our production
should be around 100000 tons
weekly. The latter figures relre-
sent the needs for domestic con-
sumption alone. Export demand
would easily, call for 100000 tons
weekly additional. 1t is, probs. be
