FOR TAX REVISION FIRST.

There is danger of the special session
failing to touch the tax issue. The tax
returns already on file in the Internal

funds than had been anticipated. The
demand for tax revision as a means Of
assuring the money necessary to con-
duct the business Of the government
during the next fiscal year is according
ly not as imperative as it appeared a
few months ago.
The fact, however affords no iustifica-

TRADE WITH LATIN AMERICA.

In view Of the desirability of a better
understanding between this country and
its immediate neighbors TO the south, il
is encouraging to find that large gains
have been recently made in the com
merce of the United States with Latin
America. While American trade with
Europe fell off TO a small extent in
1920, as compared with 1919, and that
with Canada, Africa and the Far East
remained practically stationary, both eX-
ports TO and imports from Latin Amer
lea showed substantial increases. The
figures for the totals are themselves i'm
posing standing, respectively, at ST.
Sos ,227 ,284 and 81 500, ,961 ,2S3. Great as
these amounts are, they are only an ear
nest of the wonderful business that
could be done to the advantage Of both
sides under more favorable conditions.
Cuba naturally had the lions share,
but the trade with Argentine, Brazil and
Chile was also on an extensive basis OF
the South American nations, Argentina
still remains the best customer of the
United States, Exports to that country
of automobiles and accessories, coal, cot
ton, textiles, steel rails and numerous
other commodities gained 81 per cent in
1890. while imports gained per cent.
In fact. a detailed examination OF the
statistics shows that all around the
tendency is upward.

WHERE HARDING SHINES.

II is plain enough that Mr.. Harding

affairs except to keep on good terms

his party. In the realm Of domestic
affairs the fires of real enthusiasm

ing about the tariff. Then ne is hack
TO 1883. which is a convenient stand
point Of normalcy, and he grows elo-
quent about the iniquity Of Offering the
privileges of the American market
10 the foreign producer too cheaply. +"
II has never occurred to Mr.. Harding
that men profit from what they buy
as we'll as from what they sell. and that
commerce represents something more
vital than a privilege. but everything
he says on the subject OF the tariff will
meet the cordial approval of the great
protected Industries that have been en-
gagged for fifty years in capitaIizing the
tariff schedules voted to them by gen
erous Congresses,

Harding fails to take advantage of his
opportunity to make the limitation OF

gramme of his administration He dis
cusses the question casually and ex-
presses a benevolent interest in it, but
he shows no appreciation of what it
