Prosperity Made at Home.

At q time when Americans are asked 10
worry about foreign trade II Is surprising 10 find
a financial expert OF the standing OF Theodore
II. Price who suggests that the United States
can be prosperous without the aid OF Europe.
A good many current beliefs will be shocked
by this statement. which is based on the fact
that consumption at home is almost equal to
our production. with little diyersiheation OF
our productive activities" says Mr.. Price in the
American magazine. I'VE ourselves could easily
consume the entire yield OF our industry"
With or without tariff, he predicts increas-
ing difficulty in meeting the prices at which
European industry can supply its home demand
While he does not depreciate the importance of
foreign trade, and points out that under all cir
cumstances agricultural products will continue
to find market abroad, in return for which by
triangular trade coffee, rubber and other neces-
sary importatons will be secured. yet he be-
,Jcves that prosperity in this country is largely
a family affair.
Our foreign trade is small indeed compared
to the buying and selling among ourselves. In
1919 our domestic trade was nearly six times
our trade with all the rest OF the world, and IS
times the balance OF trade in our favor. While
we gained S8,OUU,uUU rom foreign commerce we
earned almost S620O00OO by production for the
home market. The money netted from selling
abroad amounted to $3S per capita, while the
average per capita income for every man, woman
and child in the United States is $645.
Not all nations would be able to support
themselves in this manner, but the United States.
with its immense and varied resources, is very
nearly sef-suficing. Stripping away all the
fine theories and looking at the problem through
the eyes of common sense, it appears plain that
If each man would produce enough goods. on the
average, to. supply himself in comfort, there
would be no limit to the prosperity the nation
might enjoy The only wealth is goods and the
means OF their production, and money, foreign
or domestic, is but the measuring stick, fact
that is sometimes confused. While there is no
apparent reason to believe that the foreign trade
of the United States will ever slip below its
average for the prewar years, yet the threat of
this loses its terror when the facts submitted
by Mr.. Price are considered.

Is Charlie Chaplin So Funny?

Watch your step, Charlie Chaplin, or the
people will no longer be so quick to laugh at
your antics on the screen. Your return to Eng
land was signazed by the cheers OF crowds as
great as those which lately welcomed victorious
generals from the fields of battle, but you may
we'll have misgivings for all that. For your stay
in London, we read, palatial suite in the finest
hotel has been engaged, and altogether you are
living on grand scale not to be approached by
mlonth part Of those who have found fun
in your clownish acting.
Whoever heard of decent-minded, respectable
people laughing at millionaire? The wealth
you have anassed and are spending so freely
was honestly earned but for that only the more
respect is aroused. Better for you would it have
been to conceal your fortune, for hereafter many
among your spectators will find it difficult to
enter into the illusion of good-natured poverty
and amiable stupidity through which the appeal
to popular favor has been made. Though the
shadows on the screen may show you in thread
bare, barry trousers worn-out shoes and trick
vest, yet in their minds eye many will see you
in broadcloth gray spats and carrying gold
headed cane instead of your silly wisp OF stick.
While you seem to be scfubbing the floor of
bank or wondering where you will get the half
dollar to pay for meal that you have ordered
in some cheap cafe, some will imagine you din
ing at Buckingham palace and chatting with the
royal family, dignifed as duke.
The impression is also getting about that you
are considerable of highbrow in private life,
reading poetry dabblng in economics and with
a great deal more culture than a comedian
needs. Your success depends on imbuing the
picture goers with a sense of their superiority
to you. Even child may feel that he would
know how to act under given set of circunl-
stances with more wisdom and discretion than
you show in your comedies, and laughter rises
at the ridiculous ruses to which you resort.
People attend the showing Of your films in
order to laugh at your expense, and when they
acquire the impression that perhaps, with your
culture and your wealth you are in reality
laughing at the expense of them and their tickets
of admission, some of the joyous illusion that
has built your popularity will be in danger of
wearing very thin.

Real Representative Americans.

President Harding's announcement OF the
delegates who will represent the United States
at the coming conference on armament only
confirms the expectation OF the public. Hughes,
Root, Lodge and Underwood compose group
whose fitness for the service will not be chal-
lenged by any. Each is pre-eminently qualified
to sustain the dignity and prestige OF the Ameri-
can republic, and may be depended upon to
protect the interests OF their country at all
points. Greater than this, they are men known
to the world, and enjoy abroad the confidence
and respect that is their due at home.
Comparison with the action Of Woodrow
Wilson, when he was on the eve of proceeding
to Paris, cannot be avoided. Not only did Mr..
Wilson select himself to head the delegation,
but he surrounded himself with such a group
OF advisers as astonished the world. Robert
Lansing was the only one who possibly could
be looked upon as possessed of international
qualifications, and the circumstances under which
he was made member OF the delegation en-
phasize the indifference with which the presi-
dent regarded him. Mr.. Lansing in his book
tells that he had first made representations to
the president of the improperly of the execu-
tive's taking personal part in the negotiations,
and had followed this by most strenuous OBJ
jections to certain of the Wilsonian policies,
notably the League Of Nations. Yet Mr.. Will
son took Mr. Lansing to Paris, and there ig-
nored him. The world will wait long time for
parallel instance.
President Harding is not unmindful of the
tremendous importance Of the conference in all
its aspects. He knows it will profoundly affect
not only the future of the United States but of
the world as WELL Yet he also realizes that he
will lose, as Mr.. Lansing pointed out to his
chief. the power and advantage that flows from
his detached position, should he become one of
the negotiators in person. In this the president
is showing himself to be diplomat of first
caliber.
Recent advices have been to the effect that
the agenda for the conference is practically
agreed upon, and that it contains the question of
limitation of armaments between the negotiating
powers, and in general the open questions with
regard to the Far East. Japan has strongly de-
INJURED, and is making effort to close up certain
phases of its problem by adjustment in advance.
Thus il is not unlocked for that Yap and the
Shantung questions may be, disposed of before
the convocat;on gets under actual headway.
This is but speculation, and until confirmed by
the event will have little effect on preparations
Americans are more concerned over the share
of their country in the conference, and must feel
assured by the character Of the men who will
sit as delegates from the United States.

Germany's REGENERATION.

greatest recuperative and conservative force that
nation can. know. The spectacle is marvellous
and exceedingly gratifying to those who can
rightly apprehend its significance. There is at
work in Germany, steadily and progressively for
Germany's salvation, the will to regain, recover,
restore; not in the political or military sense, but
industrially, economically, by the honest labor
of brain and hands. A people animated by that
purpose and endowed with the capacity that peo-
pie possesses for organization and toll can not
conceivably be headed for national dissolution.
Sue ha spectacle is not one to be viewed by
the rest of the world with suspicion, jealousy or
distrust For although it is true that the new
Germany, looking forward and not backward. is
planning and working for Germany itself, it is
likewise true that when it works on these lines
it is working for the rest OF the world and for
the peace of the world. 1t can mot he otherwise.
