ARE WE EXPORTING TOO
 HEAVILY?

The Guarantee Trust Company of New York for some time past has been receiving statements from it's representative abroad which tend to show that there is an oyerstock of exports from the United States at many points throughout the world. The conditions thus noted are not new, but have prevailed practically ever since early in the war. There was a prevailing belief that our ex- euorts could be sold at almost any price that might be desired and, ac- cordingly, great quantities of goods were sent abroad, particularly to neutral countries. One of the favor 1te plans was to ship them to Ant Werp or Amsterdam, because of the belief that there would be an un- limited demand in Germany.
 Facts have set at naught good deal of this false prediction. Our exporters first found that the gov. ernment of the United States would not continue indefinitely to hold the bag" under the influence of a false notion of patriotism or service.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-10-26

Next it appeared that the banks were practically loaded down with foreign business, and disinclined to do more than they had been doing for stime time past. The result has been to cut off a good deal of ficti- tious financing, or financing that had no basis behind it in the form of immediate assets. This has meant that there was no prospect of get ting the goods taken up by foreign CTS, unless the exporters were in clined to give indefinite credit-a thing which many had no intention of doing, while others could not. Accordingly, there has been effort in many quarters to borrow at banks on the strength of goods in foreign warehouses, or with sterling or other bank accounts or balances as security.
 The time has come to cut down all such unsound export trade, and to put the operations of the future on a secure footing which will per init of liquidation. Where this can not be done, the proposition should be placed on an investment basis If it fails there, it should be aban- doned There must be some limit to export irflation.

RETALIATION IN SHIPPING

Some remedy for discrimination against American ships in Japanese ports is within the power of the United States Economic pressure might be applied if diplomatic eff forts should prove ineffective, but the plan proposed by Admiral Ben son to carry all American goods in American ships would hardly prove workable. Many goods exported to Japan are bought by Japanese agents in this country, thus becoming Jap anese property before they are load ed aboard the ship. Where this is not so, the rule is that the buyer directs the routing of goods, and Japanese buyers would certainly route by Japanese ships.
 If the United States should sue ceed in having all American goods destined for Japan carried on Amer ican ships, the Japanese would re- taliate by carrying all their goods on their own ships. Complete sue cess on both sides would result in the ships of each nation going empty one way on each voyage, un- less they could pick up a return cargo in some other country on the way. The one-way cargo would then have to earn enough freight to pay the cost of the round voyage, and protest would go up from merchants on each side of the ocean,
 Schemes of commercial retalia- tion are not as simple as they seem. They often prove tWo-edged swords, hurting those who resort to them as well as those against whom they are used. They cannot be worked by a government board as' well as by a private business corporation, for they require quick business decision and action, of which a bureaucrat is incapable

long before the creation of man,
possibly seven thousand years be-
fore man was created. Gem. |:
20-30 Marginal. The word soul
is applied to both man and beast
in Numbers, 81: %. 1t reads thus:
"Ard levy a tribute unto the Lord
of the men of war which went out
ID battle; one soul of five hundred,
both of the persons and of the beev
eS, and of asses. and of the sheep"
God in his own word declares that
both man and beast die alike and
g. tc the same place. The Scripture
reads thus, For that which berall-
eth the sons of man, befalleth the
beasts. Even one thing befalleth
them; as the one die so dieth the
other; veal They have all one breath
so that man hath no pre-eminence
above beast for all is vanity. All
go unto one place; all are of the
dust and all change to dust again"
Fec. 3: 1920.
My opponent will have to admit
according to this Scripture that the
lower animals are roasting in Eter-
nal Torment with man, for the rea=
s)T thhat the Scriptures say that
they all so to one place at death. My
opponent must admit that before
one could be eternally tormented,
ii is necessary to have life immortal.
Man is not immortal. Man is a soul,
NAL dies, therefore the soul dies.
/ There is distinction between eter-
mai life and immortal life. A Gre
azure may live eternally and yet not
be immortal. Immortality, means
that quality of life not subject to
death; it means that such creatures
canrot die and God even has not
the power to destroy such one. Has
( God the power to destroy the soul?
/ Jesus answers, Fear him who is
able to destroy both soul and body
My opponent will not be able 10
Pc duce a single scripture text
which says that man has an i'm
mortal soul. The only scripture
tina, he might use which has the
appearance of sustaining the i'm
morality of the soul is found in
Gem. 3: Is. "Ye shall surely not
die" And that was a lie told by
I tke Devil for the purpose of de-
bauching and deceiving Mother Eve
All persons who are advocating that
when one dies he is not dead, is
sustaining. whether intentionly oil
ignorantly, the Devils first old lie
Thou shall surely not die"
The Bible plainly tells us that
God only hath immortality. First
Tim. 6: 16. There is a wide dis
tinCtion between man in general
and one who is a real Consecrated
Christian. One line of Scripture
applies to man in general, and an
other and different line of Scrip
] ture applies to the real and true
followers of Christ. The New Tes-
/ lament speaks of Immortality as 4
promised reward, moi an inherent
/ quality Something man already
possesses. Immortality is the
greatest reward that God has to be-
stow upon his fellow creatures
who love and serve him. To the
Christians, Paul says, Seek We inn
mortality" Romans 2: 7. A man
/ does not seek for that which he
already possesses. Again, this NOR
tai must put on Immortality, First
Cor. 15:l SO. The Scripture here
has no reference to the world OF
mankind. but to Christians, only
The world of mankind will never
possess the quality of Immortality.
1t is to the church the promise is
made, "Be thou faithful unto death,
and | will give thee the Grown of
ifnn The hipheSf element Of life
The Tulsa star. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1913-1921, 1920-06-26

is Immortality. Rev. 2: 10.
The Scriptures clearly teaches
that when man dies he is uncOnci-
OTIS, without memory, ceases to
speak, breathe, think, feel or hate.
The Scriptures in proof of this
statement follows: For in death
there is no remembrance of thee;
in the grave who shall give thee
thanks" Psalms &: ;. "The dead
praise not the Lord, neither any
that go down in silence" Psalms,
115: II. Thou taketh away their
breath they die and return to the
dust" Psalms 104: 30. "His breath
gceth forth he returneth to the
earth; in that very day his thoughts
perish" Psalms lac: 4. A dead,
maj ceaseth to love, ceaseth to
hate, and ceascth to anger" Eco. 0:
e. Furthermore, the Scripture
clearly states that dead man
knowth nothing. Eco. 8: 5. The
dead stop working. Whatsoever
thy hands find to do, do with thy
might; for there is nor work nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom
in the grave, whittier thou goest."
Fec. 9; 10.
When a man reacheth the point
where he cannot remember, cannot
give thanks; cannot speak; cannot
breathe; does. not think: has no
feelings; neither loves, hates, or
envieS, does not work; and knows
not anything, he must be actually
and completely dead and therefore
unconscious.
Sleep is a symbol of death and
therefore, since God has made an
arrangement to awaken or resurect
the billions of humanity, death is
spoken of as sleep. A man sound
asleep knows nothing, is not con-
scious and knows nothing of what
transpires during his sleep. So it
is in death. as clearly shown in
John II: 1-44, in the case of Lazar-
Us who knew nothing and told
nothing concerning himself during
his four days of death asleep.
The next question which logical
ly follows is where are the dead?
The Bible clearly teaches that the
dead both good and bad are in He'll,
the Grave. OBLIVION, condition
the same as if they had not existed.
Jacob weighted down with sorrow
because of the supposed loss of his
son Joseph said, 81 will go down
to my son Joseph in Sheol Qn HELD
mourning" Gem. 81: 35. Gem. 43:
3S. Many of the Old Testament
prophets whom God approved said
that they were going to He'll. Job
was a Cody man and after hav-
ing suffered the loss of all his
earthly possessions. his children
killed; his wife turned his enemy;
his neighbOrs taunting him because
of his suffering; his body putrid
from running sores; and while
suffering bodily pain and mental
anguish, he prayed to God that he
might go to He'll. If He'll is place
OF eternal Torment does any sane
person believe that Job prayed to
g. to a place to suffer more than he
was already? Oh mol He said
that he desired to be in He'll until
Gods wrath be passed. Job IA: IS.
II" defines He'll. "if | wait, He'll
is my house; | have made my bed

said that man passeth away, his
sons come to honor and he knows
it not, and they are brought low
and he perceIyeth it not" Job IA:
