1000, 900 Bales Wool
Exported by Australia

Australian and New Zealand WOO
to the extent of nearly 1000, 900
bales is held in various parts of the
world, according to figures furnish .
ed by the Department of Commerce.
1t is distributed as follows:
United Kingdom. 766,639; Ant
werp. 52,325; Boston, 1880; afloat
for United Kingdom, 371,041; afloat
for Antwerp. 1920; in Dominion
and commonwealth, 1,672.347. Total,
29O5,474.
The new clip in Australasia Is esti-
mated at 2,45O,OO0, making a total
of 5,355,474 bales of Australian
wool that will be ready for market
within the next six or Seven months.
1t is feared thht this large accumu-
lation OF unsold wool will material
ly affect the price of wool in gem
eral, and particularly this season s
clip. 1t has been suggested that
early sales be held and that the
government make advances on this
seasons clip to the extent of so
per cent of the appraised value Of
the different grades of wool.

Banditry in Hayti

1t is a thing for the American people to
accuse themselves OF imperali tn, even though
accusations fly around pretty thick every four
years. We in the United States gain our ideas on
imperial policy from the hisores, OF Napoleon. or
more popular still, from the outporrings OF Rudyard
Kipling. And surely can ssv our policy was
imperialstic regard to the sometimes lanentable
but the whole praiseworthy occupation OF the
Philippines.
Recent controversies in the tayy Department
lead one to believe that if ha,s a second White
Elephant hands in Hayt,| at least he has
been sorely goaded. We read OF an appalling
number OF bandit executions and killings in Hayti
with comparatively trifling los Of officers and
in the American forces.
JUST what bandit is seems be point upon
which the whole controversy my be hung The
name might conJure, especially ror ircqucntcrs OF
the movies, picture OF a some What romantic ap-
pearing gentleman in boots and barbarc splcndor
OF costume. Critics OF the administration claim
that the disturbing forces in iiayti are merely
political dissenters
In own land political dr,tenters have slim
chances OF ever reaching a ;tage OF practical
banditry-or even bandnage-Mr Palmer and the
wardens seeing to that. Down in Hayti stump
speaking is not the order OF the day Gentlemen

with small arsenal OF magazine rifles and machine
guns, posted far out in the brush cannot be heavily
censured if they object to being potted Especially
so when no doubt they would give half years
pay to be ordered back home to a more prohibtorv

The soldier gets the brunt of the censure no

with dismay at the innocent slaughter OF our citi-
zens in Mexico, and scoffed oyer the punitive ex-
pedition that failed to catch the bandit chief. We
turn with horror to the death toll in Hayti No
doubt if Hayans murdered sugar planters and civil
engineers in their island, million voices would
spring to megaphones overnight and cry to high
heaven for vengeance.

HOLLAND INCREASES
SUGAR BEET ACREAGE

Holland has markedly increased
the area planted in sugar heets this
year, as compared with two preCed-
ing years, according to advices from
Consul Mahin. Amsterdam. to the
Department of Commerce. The area
for the 192O-19z1 crop is given as
63.46S hectares, as compared with
49.53S hectares for 1919-192O and
37,O1S hectares for l9lS-1919 crops
respectively. zone heCtarc, 80

Increase in the area planted in
sugar beets brings the condition 10
prewar figures. as during the war
much of the land usually devoted
to beets was planted in wheat
The product in sugar from these
heets this year is estimated al,
100000 metric tons. At least one
third should be available for expoH
as Hollands consumption is under
100000 tons yearly. Production for

them sternly.
