LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
World Revolution Impossible.

MT. Editor This world revolution, of which all the malcontents dream and of which Nikolai Lenine proposes to make himself the prophet, is of course an inn possibility. It cannot command the CO., hesion that revolutions always require It is too big to be strong. It could suc- ceed only if madness were more valid than sense. But that does not at all prevent the madmen of every country from talking wildly about it, or from rushing to embrace it. The world has seen fit not to accept the doctrine vol untarily. Very well, then---the world shall be forced to accept it. It will be done by calling "a general strike of all mankind"
 In 1917 strikers overthrow the Russian empire, the largest nation on earth, ex- cept China. The next largest country is the United States, and here organized strikers have been planning widespread disturbances. In Russia the seizure of the government by strikers was made possible by the weakness and the abdica- tion of the ezar, the inefficieney of the provisional government which succeeded him, and the self-abasement of the Rus sian congress, that is, the duma. The bolshevists got control at. Petregrad only after the Russian army had been largely broken up or uemora iLed and the duma silenced Strikers who would Russian ize America could not prevent our hav-
 ing always a chief executive. Unlike the czar, each president and each vice president of the United States has a designated successor to replace him im- mediately, if necessary. Nor by any means whatever could strikers impair our military power. Ali that remains to Russianize is congress. Could the or ganiZers of strikes silence the house of representatives or the senate? Never. For eight months the constant threat of the Russian revolutionists was a general railway strike, which they did not re- sort to until just before the partisans of Lenine and Trotzky took possession of Petrograd in November, 1917. Their emulators in America started off with 1 railway strike which was nipped in the bud.
 There cannot be a general strike of all mankind. The reason is that all man. kind loves life more than death. Once the mechanism of this world ceases it's daily operation, everyone will starve. There is about th's something suggestive If the airplane, which has to keep nov ing or come crashing down. A world wide general strike would ruin it's own participants quite as surely as it would ruin anyone else. We doubt that any sufficient member of people will be so blind to that obvious fact as to require to have it proved to them by experiment.
 Too much virtue is being read into the notion of strikes They have proved very useful and effective in certain cases; and the headlong assumption is that if they can work in small areas with effect, they can also work in world fl1 That is no more true than the assertion that because little of some potent drug, wisely administered is found to be ben ef1cial, an overdose must be even more

w1nESs DEMOCRATIC BREACH

In his zeal for flashing out at the re- publican senators who would protect the constitutional integrity and independence of our country by reservations to the League of Nations, Candidate Cox has read out of the democratic party those democratic senators who were courage ous enough to refuse to submit to White House domination. His bitter attack upon what he calls the senatorial cabal was meant to focus attention upon the republican senator's opposition to the Wilson league and treaty, but 1t must bs taken to refer also to men who have been cosidered among the wisest, ablest and most trusted leaders of the demo- crtzio party. Senators Gore, Reed, Hoke, Smith and all the 23 democratic sena- tors who were opposed to the treaty without protective reservations are all included in the vituperative attack by the democratic candidate for president.
 Just as President Wilson would have him do, Candidate Cox ignores the situa- ton in his own party. ignores the fact that the democratic party ig divided on

without qualifications, as President Will son presented it, or with such reserva- tions as the senate committee on fer eign affairs appended to it. The Ohio governor is explicit enough in his attack upon the senatorial ~ conspiraters who dared to think differently, whether they were republicans or democrats, from the gentleman in the White House who was determined to carry the whole thing though with an assumption of authority and power which the constitution does not confer upon the president in treaty making. He is "as one" with the presi- dent in the controversy. and he pro- ceeds in g way that is a kickout for the democratic senators who stood for an amended treaty and kickout for all democrats everywhere who think with these democratic leaders.
 That White House conference put Cam didate Cox in a situation where he was obliged to choose between the two sides of hiS own divided party. He has em, phasized his stand-in with the organized machinery that is under control of the present administration, but his speech will certainly do nothing to heal the democratic rupture. He has played up to the offended egetisn of the Presi- dent-he has made loyalty to Wilson ideals and theories the keynote of his speech. He apparently believes that the country wants four naere years of Will son ideals, theories, visionings, iretfici- eney in all practical affairs and eyotis. tic assumption of power and authority.

ITALY COMING BACK

It is an extremely hopeful report of Italy's rehabilitation after the ravages of war that is brought back from there by a New York banker, Willis H. Booth, who has just returned from Europe. He finds that no country in Europe has faced it's problems of reconstruction and readjustment with more intelligence and energy than Italy
 Italy is at work as completely as any nation in Europe and more so than most of them Young, energetic and capable business men have taken hold of the postwar development and are bringing a new spirit to the industrial life of the nation. A wealth of hydro electric possibilities with which the country is favored is being developed at rapid rate and the current is ab- sorbed for industrial purposes as fast as it can be produced. The whole coun- try Is being interlaeed with electric lines and 4,ooo miles of additional track age is involved in the identification of the railways.
 Matching up with the industrial devel- opment, the port facilities of Northern Italy are being enlarged by the construc- ton of an entirely new port at Venice, which will augment tn. ort facilities of that part of the country which were heretofore largely restricted to Genoa
 Manufactures on a large scale have been taken up in motors rubber, steel and many other lines, while the problem Of mass production is being worked out carefully and inteIligently. The break from the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria is felt particularly in the financial institutions. so many of which were formerly controlled by Germans. But these are now under Italian control and are assisting in promoting the in- dustrial enterprises. Such an industrial expansion is going to necessitate rapid increase in areas under cultivation for food, but thought is already being taken along these lines and projects are under way for the reclamation of land along the rivers and adjacent to the sea
 It is not going to be all easy sailing for Italy, but the important thing is that there is the will to do. Men with capacity and judgment are at hand but it will take the united efforts of agri- culture, industry, banking and commerce to create the surpluses out of which she will be able to pay her great debt.

quantity imported in the fiscal year 1920 having been considerably over 500 mil lion pounds against 132 million pounds in 1914, this increase being largely due to the demand for use in conjjHnetion with the automobile industry, though it is proper to add that exports of rubber manufactures graw from s12,oee, ,eee in 1914 to approximately s70,0e0.eoo in 1920. Hides and skins also show tre mendous increase in our demand upon foreign countries, the quantity imported in the fiscal year 1920 amounting to about 800 million pounds against only the 1920 Imports of this class we in round terms s375,000,C00 against $120,- e0o.00o in 1914
 On the export side the startling changes occur in manufactures and foodstuffs. Manufactures ready for use show tetal of exports amounting to approximately $2,S50, 0,0o0,000 against $725,ooo,ooe in 1914, being nearly four times as much in value in 1920 as in the year before the war. To what extent this enormous in crease is due to higher prices cannot be closely determined though comparison of the export figures of 1920 with those of 1914 show very large increases in quantities in all of the important arti- cles in which quantities are shown in the official reports of exports. Cotton cloths, for example, show total Of aheut 875 million yards exported against 4l0 million in 1914; tin plates 45o million pounds against 1o6 million in 1914; sheets and plates of iron and steel 2,sso,- 900 900 pounds against sS4 million in I1s14, and boots and shoes 20 million pairs in 1920 against 9,soe,oo0 pears in E19I4 Foedstuffs also show very large increases in total values of experts, ad- vancing from a little less than $500, Ooo in 1914 to over $2,o00 o0o,o0s in 1920.

CIRCULATION WEED ENDING AUG. 7th, 1sau l0.9l9
HOPE FOE RUsso-PoLIsH PEACE

Hope for peace between the Russians and the Poles as the outcome Of the negotiations which are just beginning at Minsk is voiced by Lloyd George and will be shared in by all the world which wants to see an end of the devastation wrought upon any people and land by war. So much of the news from the disturbed area where the Poles and the Russians are battling. either in the field or automatically. is contradictory that it is no wonder American readers are confused by this Polish crisis
 The only hope of saving Roland from further devastation by the boIshevik army lies in the Minsk negotiations. It Is evident that no Allied troops could be sent to help the Polish army in time to save Warsaw, even if Great Britain and France were ready to help in this way, which they say they are not. Indeed any serious move by France and Great Britain until the outcome of the Minsk conference is known would add to Po- lands danger. Whatever action France and Great Britain do take, it is careful ly explained will not be in the nature of war on Russia, but merely the ex- tension of aid to Poland. Apparently there is 2 diplomatic distinction ih ths tv-o sides to tbis solution that makes 9 difference hare though it may not be iiscsrnible to the lay mind
 According to the soviet note, the peace terms that they are willing to offer to Poland will accord that country full independence" and more favorable bound aries than tbose set by the Allies. Of course the good faith of the bolsheviks enters into such promises and the AL les are warranted in preparing for any evenJualities. Shotfld the Russians at tempt to impose terms that would jeo- pardize Poland's independence or de- spoil her of territory, an entirely diff terent situation would be created, and one in which the Allies, as well as the United States, would be called upon to defend the Polish state which they brought into being and pledged them selves to support when they signed the Versailles treaty.
 If no untoward change intervenes, it may yet be unnecessary 10 put into eff feet the warlike measures agreed upon by the Allied military experts after their conference at Hythe.

 It was down on tho program that every delegation should snow something g and do something Illustrative of the country from which the various deiega- tions had come and illustrative also of camping out life as each par.;euL&r' dele gation had experienced il iG the back home country.

IMMIGRATION TESTS NEED CHANGE

How inadequate and tn fact abs1rd the literacy test as apo.ni to iHasnigra- ton may be was dsalonsiI ated ia the recent case of a. bright Italian gir. who Was held fer deportation because she could not read ErE:isi. But in the fourteen days that eil1 aetI before ,he deportation sentence s'as to be carried out she had learned enough os the lan- uage to pass the En<.:sa test and sns was allowed to rema n. She was Frob- ally 8 desirable imn1'g-Ss. anyway, br: how she was made any more desirable by fourteen daHs' etady ef the English language would be aasd to determine. And when it was all over. it was found that she was the hsneee of an American soldier abroad and did not have .te pass tie reading test at all.
 Fundamentals of cnAsaeter are of more value in dete:m-=i:'g the desirs hiiity of an imIns, ,ass and in this it is apparent that Et4:acv test falls Hhort. When we look over the crime wave that seems to be sweeping our country and notice that so laga a proportion of the criminals are of foreign extraction, it IS apparent that thA test needed is something that snod.d exclude that class. We want them uo Hsor9 than Europe dces. But litera:y test may even fa- cilitate their er rancs, fnr 1t is true that revolutionists and other dangerous elements from ine Oti World pass the literacy test win ease. siare nearly all of them can read, anl most of ;nsIn in several languages.

Common sense shoulJ he ap- piled to our immigration laws so that none of this class should be excluded.
 At the present time the tide of imni- grafton is lower than it has ever been in the history of the nation. WoG,d not this be a good time fer gald the mrch needed reform in the conditions of ad- mission 50 as to place no unnecessary obstacle in the way of the really desira- ble but to bar out more effectually those whom no country wants.

Dandruf Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely disselve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is mex pensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

FOREIGN TRADE IN 1920 AND 1sa.

FOREIGN TRADE IN 1920 AND 1924
 It is now possible, with the complete figures of the total trade of the United States in the fiscal year 1920, to com pare the trade of the first fiscal year following the war with that of the last fiscal year preceding the war. These figures, says The National City Bank of New York, which presents this analysis of the foreign trade at the present time, compared with that of the fiscal year 1914 which, ended just before the out break of the war, indicate tremendous gains, though it must be remembered that in nearly all cases a considerable part of the gains are due to higher prices. In practically all instances, how ever, there is large advance in the ported and exported.
 Imports as a whole, adds the Banks statement, which stand at $5,23s, ,000,- 900 for the fiscal year 1920 show an increase of TIT percent over the fiscal year 1914, when they were $1,S94, ,0e0,- 900. Exports, which stand at sS,111,- 000,000, show an increase of 24S per cent over 1914, when they stood at $2,- 65.000,0 900. Of domestic exports only, excluding the foreign merchandise re-ex ported, the total stands in 1920 at s7 : 95o,0O0,00O, or 241 per cent over 1914, when the total was s2,330 900. Re- exportation of foreign merchandise shows large gains, the total for 1920 standing at S160,000,000 against S35,000,000 in 1914.
 Manufacturing material showed the largest increase on the import side, and food and manufactures the big increases on the export side. The value of the raw manufacturing material imported jumped from S634,00o 900 in 1914 to $2,- 160 00o, 900 in 1920, an increase of 241 percent This increase occurred in many lines of articles, but especially in india rubber, raw silk, raw cotton, wool. hides and skin and tin. Of the 10 principal manufacturing articles imported of a character which can be reduced to uni form basis of pounds, namely, cotton wool, silk, fibers rubber, hides and skins, tobacco, tin, copper, and gums, the quantity, measured in pounds, increased little less that 50 per cent when com pairing the 1920 imports with those of 1914, while the total value of the same articles increaed to a much greater ex- tent.
 These increases in manufacturing ma terial are in many cases extremely large and illustrative of the great activity oi the manufacturing industries of the country Raw cotton, for example, i'm ported in 1920 shows a total of slightly more than $40 million pounds against 12S million pounds in 19f4 wool shows total for 1920 of approximately 42e million pounds against 23S million ir 1914, and raw silk despite the vsry high prices of 1920, which are three times as much as in 1914, aggregated ir the fiscal year 1920 46 million pounds stated in round terms, against 2s mil lion in 1914. while the unexampled de mand of the people of the United State! for silk and silk goods are evidenced bJ the fact that the sum paid for raw sill imported in 1920 was in round term' s430. .oE 900 against $ss, 100000 in 1914 Of india rubber, the increase in quan tity was equally startling, the tota
